EQ2Map POI's won't update through your program

[bluja000]

Before your latest update, when I would click "Check for new updates", there would almost always be a new POI for the maps. Now, the remaining items MIGHT update, if there is anything new. But there haven't been any new map POI's. I know there were some problems with the eq2maps updater, but I've read that those were resolved. Do I need to start using that, instead of your program, just to keep the map POI's updated? Or will there be a new update that might fix the issue?

My eq2maps has updated through the DarqUI utility since the eq2maps updater issues were solved...

DarqUI uses the same EQ2MAP files as the official updater. Prior to last month's utility update, POIs from the \Default folder were synced with the custom UI folder each time you opened the utility. For players who also use EQ2MAP, this would result in duplicate icons on the map for default locations. You would get two icons for each travel bell, zone line, etc.

Version 3.1.2.0 no longer syncs the default POI files (eq2_poi.xml and eq2_poi_links.xml) if it detects that you also have EQ2MAP installed. To revert to the old behavior you can uncheck the box for "Copy default POI files into the custom UI folder unless EQ2MAP is installed" on the Settings page of the utility. Otherwise, map updates are succeeding again after the short downtime last month.

Thank you very much for the information. I actually went into the eq2maps section of your program, and updated that way. I did uncheck the settings, so I'll run the program tomorrow, and see if an update becomes available. Thank you for the information.

I don't know what is happening, but I've had to go into the eq2map section of your utility to check for map updates. I found that "eq2ui_popup_add_poi.xml" is ignored. I removed it from the ignore list, but running the regular update ends up adding it back into the ignore list. And it still seems to require that I go into the eq2map section in order to update the maps. I'll have to check again tomorrow, but could I be doing something wrong?

It looks like you're updating correctly. Checking for and downloading map updates is done from the EQ2MAP page of the utility. Alternatively you can check automatically each time you open the utility without visiting the page or clicking the button (see Settings for this option.) But map updates, like DarqUI updates, do not happen on their own. You must invoke them with the utility using one of these two ways.

DarqUI has a feature that allows you to use your Windows browser rather than the in-game browser to go to websites. One of those is the EQ2MAP website where you can submit points of interest to be added to the map database. To make this happen DarqUI modifies the add_poi window. So the default window has to be ignored, otherwise it would overwrite the custom window.
