Definately no need for an apology. The information is very helpful and we'll get this accidentally overlooked area mapped eventually. The picture is REALLY good to have.

Problem I have is that after I installed and updated the map inteface (I restarted game also to make sure) and well now my in game "mail" box (norathian express) comes up as a black rectangle. I can't see anything in it.

Looks like he map over wrote something but I dont know how to fix it.

taco-man · #**103** 03-27-2005, 11:24 AM

its not from eq2map, but from another mod you have that uses eq2ui_mainhud.xml. delete that file from your custom directory, it will break whatever mod uses it so check the download comments or help thread back on the mod that it breaks to see if the author has posted a fix.

Download and install the beta 64 bit .NET Framework. You'll find links to both versions in either this post or the other I replied to you in.

I'm posting my problem here as a last ditch effort to get this amazing program working, because simply, this has me stumped (and i've been working with computers for a looong time)

The Microsoft 1.1 Framework (dotnetfx.exe) doesnt seem to install, and if it does, it definitely is not working. It makes it to "Preparing to install.." but then during the Microsoft .NET 1.1 Configuration, the stage right before the installation screen typically, it closes itself out completely.

Ive tried reinstalling the Internet Explorer service pack 1, which originally included this if im not mistaken, and it says I am already running a newer version (which I thought to be true in the first place)

So can anyone tell me what the heck is going on?

Thanks in advance

PS- Im having the same unhandled exception error as a previous poster, but it seems as if their issue was resolved by your advice (unlike mine, heh, ive tried everything)

Application has generated an execption that could not be handled.

Process id=0x40c (1036), Thread id=0x41c (1052)

Click ok to terminate the application.
Click Cancle to debug the application.

When i attempt to debug i get a message saying:

Registered JIT Debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2(2).

cordbg.exe !a 0x40c

Any help would be appreciated, re-downloading and installing the autoupdater program did not fix the problem for me.

do you have a 64 bit processor, and you using windows xp 64 bit edition?

Definitely doesnt look like it.

Edit: Is there anyway you could run an installation of Microsoft .net Framework 1.1? Mine always goes awry at "gathering required information" during configuration.

I just wanna know if this is the typical spot for the installation to be complete, or if something is going wrong there.

Thanks =)

taco-man · #**109** 03-28-2005, 05:33 PM

because of microsoft's...intelligence...if the install to the .net framework fails it usually wont work when you try and re-install it again and you have to manually remove it and then try again. im not sure if this is the problem, but its possible. here is a link http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320112 on microsofts msdn site that explains how to remove it, however it involves editing the registry and deleting files in your system folder so if you are uncomftorble about doing this then dont, the last thing you want is a messed up windows installation.

if you are uncomfortable doing that than the other thing you could try instead is installing the 2.0 beta version of the .net framework. which can be found on microsofts site at this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Grubermeister · #**110** 03-28-2005, 06:10 PM

I went with the installation of beta 2.0 first, and the results were dissapointing... same exact problem.

I have had this issue with another program that required Microsoft .net Framework 1.1, so thats gotta be where the issue lies no doubt.

Im going to clean EQ2MAP as well as the other program clear off my PC, remove all traces of Microsoft .net Framework (as much as I can) and then try it all over again.

taco-man · #**111** 03-28-2005, 06:17 PM

good luck

and i hope you can get it to work!

Grubermeister · #**112** 03-28-2005, 08:47 PM

I did most everything that Microsoft website said, the exception being the whole SWK/SW something deal which would of taken up like 300mb, and I was able to successfully install v 1.1, but I now get this.

C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322/mscorwks.dll could not be loaded.

I wonder if I could find that .dll somewhere?

taco-man · #**113** 03-28-2005, 09:13 PM

you can try getting it from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl...shtml?mscorwks
I have not virus scanned it or anything, all i did was check and make sure it was labeled for the right version of .net that you have.
however it sounds like it didnt install the framework all the way, but getting that file is certainly worth a shot.

Grubermeister · #**114** 03-28-2005, 10:25 PM

Eh, it's no good. I'll try a few more things tommorow, but it seems like nothing short of reformatting is going to ultimately fix this problem, Microsoft just messed this one up badly. Thanks again for all the help, and im determined to get this working... so i'll keep you updated, heheh.

skiddkidd · #**115** 03-29-2005, 05:24 PM

I've recently tried launching EQ2 map program, and this came up

Error Getting File List:
The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.

How do I fix this????

taco-man · #**116** 03-29-2005, 09:54 PM

make sure you set your firewall to allow it to access the internet (that is how it downloads the updates) as well as make it allowing .xml files if your firewall has filetype restrictions.

Palandrel · #**117** 03-30-2005, 05:59 PM

I have done the installation and the updater works fine, but when I go in game, I don't see any maps after I zone. Typing 'M' gives me the old map. Please advise.

taco-man · #**118** 03-30-2005, 06:05 PM

can you try renaming your eq2.ini file that is in your everquest directory to something else (to keep as a backup) and if you have an EQ2MAP directory in you everquest ii\ui\ directory renaming it as well, and then running the updater. it will redownload all the filesfor it and create a new eq2.ini file for you. if that fixes it either one of the other ui mods you have was messing it up or a file the updater got was corrupt (which isnt likely because it uses an md5 check on almost all the files and redownloads any that dont match)

once you are done testing you can get rid of the files and folders you made and put your old ones back.

Palandrel · #**119** 03-30-2005, 08:54 PM

It didn't fix it. The eq2.ini got created as well as a new EQ2MAP folder like the previous time. It is not a problem with other UI modifications because I use the plain vanilla UI. Is there a way to type a command to "launch" your map interface from within the game?

taco-man · #**120** 03-30-2005, 09:08 PM

its just whatever key you set the map key to (default is m) could you attach a screenshot of what it looks like so i can tell what is wrong?

athmosphere · #**121** 03-31-2005, 03:12 PM

this is the error:

error Getting File List:
The operation has timed-out.

btw i use a hardwarefirewall inside the router.

so if this one is the problem, so plz tell me the stat's witch shoud be open.

thanks

Palandrel · #**122** 03-31-2005, 03:39 PM

Here is the printscreen. I am not sure if it might have an impact, but I am playing both on a US and on a France server (2 different regions).

Palandrel · #**123** 03-31-2005, 05:57 PM

He he I found the problem. Since I have 2 regions, it doesn't use the UI folder nor the eq2.ini in the main folder. I copy the eq2.ini in LP_REGION_EN_US and EQ2MAP in LP_REGION_EN_US/UI and it is now working great

!

Great application by the way!!!

taco-man · #**124** 03-31-2005, 06:47 PM

you shouldnt have to open any ports its just like using internet explorer as far as downloading goes, see if you can download this file http://maps.eq2interface.com/POI_files/file_list.xml

arkangil · #**125** 04-01-2005, 10:51 AM

Ok, so I installed the auto-updating version, and it installed, and updated no problem. I log in, look at my map in town, shows me all the new stuff. I head into some dungeons and instances, shows me all the new stuff. But when I get out to Antonica, or EL, or Zek, it doesn't have anything new one it, just the regular map. But go into Rivervale or Nek Castle, and it works great.

The only maps that aren't working are the main area maps. Can you help me fix this?

Thanks a lot
