Mook skin for EQ2MAP

Deathbane27 · #1 03-03-2005, 01:29 AM

It can be downloaded here: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3498

This is a plug-in skin for the EQ2MAP window designed to cut all the deadspace out of the window so you can better see what you're doing with the window open.

Installation instructions:

You must first have the March 02 or later version of The EQ2MAP Main download installed and verified working in order to use this mod. Once this is complete, simply copy the window_****.xml files from this download and place them in the eq2map subfolder of your custom UI folder. ([Eq2 directory]/UI/MyMod/eq2map) If you don't see the eq2map subfolder in your custom UI folder, then reinstall EQ2MAP.

Special thanks to Quib and the rest of the EQ2MAP team for modularizing the project so that I can put my skin on the best mod in town.

First let me thank you and all the other interface writers on this site for doing such a wonderful job.

I have a simple question. Quib wrote a mod that closes the map window upon hitting ESC. is it possible to have it so when ESC is hit it toggles your min/max on your map skin? ( instead of closing it )

Deathbane27 · #3 03-15-2005, 05:31 PM

Yes. I'm going to instruct you on how to add this modification yourself.

Open the Mook skin's eq2map/window_titlebar.xml file with Notepad.

Search for

<Button LocalTooltip="Minimize"

replace with

<Button IsCancelButton="true" LocalTooltip="Minimize"

And save the file.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

Looks good. I"ve not used any of the maps just yet.

Thanks Deathbane that works perfectly

deathbane27 does the updater "behave" and not overwrite any of the files this skin uses or does it overwrite a file it should only be checking if it exists? let me know so i can fix any files its messing up(if it is messing any up).

Deathbane27 · #7 03-18-2005, 03:07 AM

Edit: Yes, the updater leaves this alone as expected.

diabolist · #8 03-24-2005, 10:46 AM

lol the mod you had me add worked perfectly for min and max using escape...... untill

i downloaded your reacent mod that includes the mini window.

after installing and testing your mod, I went back and put Ger's close on excape mod in the eq2map dir, i then went to the window_titlebar.xml and made the changed you gave me last time, but it still doesnt work. any help would be appreciated.

( also, is there any way to stop the window from floating? all my other objects stay where placed, cept this one)

Deathbane27 · #9 03-24-2005, 06:01 PM

Okay, had to make a change to the titlebar as part of the change to accomodate the MiniMap.

As before, Search for
<Button LocalTooltip="Minimize"
replace with
<Button IsCancelButton="true" LocalTooltip="Minimize"

In addition...

Search for
<Button LocalTooltip="Restore"
replace with
<Button IsCancelButton="true" LocalTooltip="Restore"

That should do it.

About the floating: I haven't experienced this myself, but my guess is that it has something to do with the fact that the window's -ACTUAL- size and the size it resizes to when you show it are different. (That would also explain why bags do this.) Unfortunately, I can't do anything about that.

diabolist · #10 03-25-2005, 03:21 AM

Worlds of thanks

Doh, Tried the new edits, and no go.

I even tried deleting Quib Close onEsc window_options file , running patcher,getting new file...... still dont work.

oh well thanks for trying

Deathbane27 · #11 03-26-2005, 08:52 AM

I'll try to get that working myself and let you know what needs to be done.

I've also found a solution for it not saving position correctly, which will require an update to the main file. I'll see what I can do about getting the change made.

diabolist · #12 03-26-2005, 12:28 PM

Thanks much,

I saw your post on the bag moving issue, and applied the patched to my bag mods, but whan i started looking at the map mod , everything went blury and my eyes rolled up into the back of my head, lol.

I look forward to seeing if you can get thiis working.

Hello,

I had done an update with eq2mapupdater.

I had unzipped all the content in appropriate directory.

But, I have the same UI of eq2map use.

I don't have any mini-map features, how can I use it?

Minimap is a must for a RPG game, thanks for all your excellent work! I use your tool when I most need it.

Someday, I would be interest to add my private point of interest on the map (like Horizons, Morrowind, Daggerfalls...), that should be a great feature.

Best Regards,
Jourdelune

Ardant · #14 04-02-2005, 04:34 PM

This is just and Idea. Is there anyway to make it so there is another tab on the window where we can see other maps. Like if I am in TS I can view a map for CoB. It would be great for helping out people.

Deathbane27 · #15 04-02-2005, 04:52 PM

Ardant: Tonyis3l33t is working on that.

Jourdelune: Go to your custom UI folder. Right-click on the eq2map subfolder and click Explore. Highlight minimap_title.xml within that folder, take a screenshot of the window (ALT-PrintScreen then paste into Paint and save as a jpg), and upload it here. That should give me enough info to tell you what's up.

Jourdelune · #16 04-02-2005, 05:37 PM

The unzipping utility have unzipped in a eq2map subfoler automaticaly

so, I found why then

Sorry for invoncevience... I will try it.

Regards,
Jourdelune

Ardant · #17 04-03-2005, 12:17 AM

Wow thank you for the update so fast. When you implement it can i just update to get it or will there be other steps or not sure atm? LOL THANKS

Deathbane27 · #18 04-03-2005, 04:14 AM

Once he is finished I might have to alter it to fit the Mook skin, or I might have to add a few lines to Mook skin to make it fit. Either way there will be an update to the Mook skin and a note here when it's ready.

Ardant · #19 04-03-2005, 03:57 PM

That you. I love the map mod. It is so great

two thumbs up guys great work.

I have a problem( i think). I innstalled the mini map but it wont "refresh" if u get it.
Here's a picture showing what i mean

Im in the lighthouse and the minimap wont follow. is it supposed to be like this.

Deathbane27 · #21 08-11-2005, 11:20 PM

Unfortunately, yes. However, if you move the mouse to the upper-left corner of the map area (below the Minimize button), an X-shaped group of buttons will appear. Click them to select which quadrant of the map to view.

Talaus · #22 11-11-2005, 04:53 PM

I had the MookUI skin for EQ2MAP (w/ integrated Talyns' Minimap) addon for EQ2 map and with the latest patch to update the new skin it will not work. I do not care about the skin really I do like the updated one but I can't live without the mini map. Please help and thanks so much for all your hard work.

Deathbane27 · #23 11-11-2005, 08:16 PM

Someone who is still playing will have to update the plugin for the new version, I guess. Watch for patches/addons on both my skin, Talyns' minimap, and the main download.

Talaus · #24 11-12-2005, 08:45 AM

Thanks. If you know anyone who might be willing to do it a nudge in that direction would be great!

Is there a way to get the new LU#18 quest icons to show up on this map? Thanks
