No compass

elw4 · #1 08-07-2005, 10:03 AM

all my compass/clock downloaded files are in sony/everquest2/UI/EQ2Map folder; my maps work great and the compass/clock works in game except for the compass which is not there; it is black. Nothing is in the folder:
jaxel_skinned_compassclock
My eq2.ini file reads: cl_ui_skinname EQ2MAP
cl_ui_subdir UI/
How do I get my compass to appear?

Took me a while to work through this issue, so incase anyone else has it:

- When you extract the zip file, there is 1 file that needs to go directly into the /images folder, its called jaxel_element.dds, so if youve got this compass & the map mod running together, folder structure should be:

\eq2folder\UI\EQ2MAP
- eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml
- all of your compass files apart from the .dds mentioned above

\eq2folder\UI\EQ2MAP\images
- jaxel_element.dds

You'll have a bunch more files in:
\eq2folder\UI\EQ2MAP\eq2map
\eq2folder\UI\EQ2MAP\images\icons
\eq2folder\UI\EQ2MAP\images\maps

ignore em... at some point, SOE will make it a bit cleaner and allow more than 1 folder for Custom UIs!

P.S. Appears that if you change files around in your CUstom UI Folder, you need to exit the game and restart it to refresh them (going to the character select screen is not enough).
