Hi I'm having problem seeing the map
Windows XP Pro SP2. IE 6.0. Downloaded and installed the .NET framework. I know I'm doing something wrong because I still can't see the maps : ( I can install patch and update ok. I have windows firewall set to allow Everquest and the Patcher access to the web.
My install directory for eq2map is C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\UI\eq2map
For eq2map I have the following directory structure
UI\eq2map\ (this has the icons_xx.xml files and subdirectories)
UI\eq2map\eq2map (this has the icons_xx.xml files as above no subdirectories)
UI\eq2map\images (this has the dds files)
UI\eq2map\images\icons (this has icon_map3.dds)
UI\eq2map\images\maps (this has the map_xx.dds files)
C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\ has an eq2.ini file with the following text
cl_ui_skinname eq2map
cl_ui_subdir UI/
C:\Program Fiels\Sony\Everquest II\ has an additional two .ini files one called eq2_default.ini and one called eq2_recent.ini
eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml exists in two locations
1. C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI
2. C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\eq2map
I have the Everquest II\UIBuilder directory and the associated sony UIBuilder.exe software.
I have read the _mapinfo.txt file located in C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI and I have also tried putting everything into C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\eq2map but this didn't work either. The main thing I see different from the instructions is that I have two locations for eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml and that my xml files are duplicated under UI\eq2map and UI\eq2map\eq2map
The C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\eq2_default.ini has the following contents
cl_ls_address 199.108.12.33 199.108.12.65 199.108.12.97 199.108.12.129 199.108.12.161 199.108.202.33 199.108.202.65 199.108.202.97 199.108.202.161

The C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\eq2_recent.ini folder has the following contents
r_performance 4
I'd love to use the map it looks really cool. Let me know if you can see what Im doing wrong or if you need any more information.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
NOTE: This is the firs UI customization I have attempted. Edited for spelling : )
Second Edit. I just tried getting on with the firewall turned off and no luck. *shrugs*
