I think you misunderstood me. I realize the map
images are external, but everything else that makes up a specific map (icon positions, pathfinder locs, etc.) are all currently embeded into a
page object which is embeded into the eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml file.
If we make those page objects external files, Edits to the window format/behavior wont be as likely to conflict with someone else's edits to a specific map.
It should also allow folks to develop alternate versions of the same map without causeing versioning issues with everything else.
All the map data would essentially become includes. Updates would consist of downloading a map file and image, then adding a page include line to the map window file.
