Default Temporary map to city of Midst

So I know this will be added at a later date, but everyone is getting lost so here is a quick map : quick and dirty. all lines. no alcoves or pillars or such. I even missed two unused buildings in Shadow haven (if they turn out to have a use I'll add them)

DISCLAIMER : THIS IS A EARLY BETA MAP! IT MIGHT BUG IF THEY CHANGE STUFF!

How to install:
  • go to you UI folder for beta: ...EverQuest II\BetaServer\UI\EQ2MAP (or whatever the name if you have another custom UI.
  • Inside, go to eq2map2 folder (...BetaServer\UI\EQ2MAP\eq2map2)
  • open in a text editor the file _User_MapStyles.xml
  • copy/paste the following then save
    Code:
    <ImageStyle Name="exp17_dun_fordel_midst_city" displayname="City of Fordel Midst" menugroup="Blood of luclin" zonerect="-882, -999, 1001, 1183" >
    <ImageFrame Source="images/maps/map_exp17_dun_fordel_midst_city.dds" SourceRect="0,0,872,1012" />
    </ImageStyle>
  • save the file from attachements below this post named map_exp17_dun_fordel_midst_city.dds (not the jpg, the dds)
  • go back and open the images > maps folder (...EverQuest II\BetaServer\UI\EQ2MAP\images\maps)
  • paste map_exp17_dun_fordel_midst_city.dds in the folder
  • launch the game

Remember to remove the map file and the code when the map will be added!

And here is the (even worse) map for Echo Caverns!

So same as above, get the .dds file, dump it in maps.
Grab code below and add it to the file "_User_MapStyles.xml"

Code:
<ImageStyle Name="exp17_rgn_echo_caverns" displayname="Echo Caverns" menugroup="Blood of luclin" zonerect="-1096, -936, 668, 1106" >
<ImageFrame Source="images/maps/map_exp17_rgn_echo_caverns.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506" />
</ImageStyle>

Default I can't get the 2 maps working

So I've never done this before, I followed the instructions exactly but the maps are not showing for me.
Is there a probably obvious to the experienced user action that I may have missed?
I do not use a custom UI and I use the auto updater version of eq2maps.
Thanks for any help.

You already have EQ2maps showing in beta for other zones? If not you could be missing the eq2.ini file pointing there.

Hey Shaavik, what do you mean by that, did you do something other than what Leucosia's instructions said?

If you are using darqui then the folder you want to put all of this is BetaServer/UI/DarqUI_v3/eq2map2 and BetaServer/UI/DarqUI_v3/images. I'm not sure about other UI's but this is where I found the files mentioned by OP.
