I no longer include the full EQ2Map in my mod, install or update EQ2Map first then run my updater. The updater will overwrite any EQ2Map files I have customized.


Should be fixed now, had a typo in the updates.txt file that was causing the updater to end before it had a chance to create the custom shutdown window.

Anyone else having map isuues where all the PoIs are MIA... there are no icons at all now , not even there arrow signifying my location. Thanks up front for any help. Also i love the UI Deadbeat .. been using it for almost a year now.

Does anyone else lose the names of their toons from the shutdown screen?

I have even copied my wifes eq2ui_mainhud_shutdown.xml file to my machine. The names from her file show up until I shutdown EQ and they are blank again. I have completely reinstalled the UI with the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In your *\Everquest 2\DBsMod folder there should be an error.txt file can you copy the contents here?

Typically freezing simply means a connection issue to my server for the downloads.

This UI looks gorgeous, but every time I run the updater it freezes with a (not responding) message. I've downloaded and installed three times. Is there some place to get a manual download without messing with the updater?

While I appreciate the offer there's no need, been doin this since early beta and as long as I continue to play I will keep it updated. (and I'm glad you like it)

Fixed thanks for the heads up. Run the updater to get the latest files.

I really like this mode alot and would like to make sure it keeps going and does not fall to the wayside like so many others have in the past. Is there some way I can make a donation to help keep this mode alive? I would be willing to make a donation every so often to keep this mode alive, please let me know how i can make a donation. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Can can not seem to get my character to use the supplies from the supply box in the guild house I have to go and get supplies and have them on me for my character to craft. I know in the original EQ2 game (no mode running) there is a check box to tell the system to use harvestables from the guild supply box. Any plans to add a check box or something that allows you to use the guild supply box so you do not have to keep all the supplies on you to craft?

Then I am at a loss, the installer does not have any code to create a new EQ2 folder.

At this point just move everything into the corrct place and see if it works.

Have everything pointing to my eq2 install, uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled, made sure everything was right and still makes a new EQ2 folder inside the sony folder. All inside the new eq2 folder is the mod.

Installer is pointing where it should

DeaDBeaT

On the initial installer make sure to browse to your EQ2 install if it's not pointing to it correctly, this is the folder that contains Everquest2.exe. The default location is ~\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II.

Once installed it creates ~\Program Files\Sony\Everquest II\DBsMod - thats the default location for my updater.

When you run the updater it looks in your registry for the location of Everquest2.exe and if it can't find that entry it will prompt you for the location.

Best bet is to uninstall and then reinstall paying close attention to pathing to make sure everything is points correctly to your EQ2 install.

Just came back to eq2 and wanna try this mod out but not working for me. Using xp so dont have the vista problems, but heres what its doing. Did everything that readme said, downloaded, install and had a dbsmod folder in the eq2 directory. Ran the full install, but instead of making a folder in the ui folder it does this. Sony>Everquest 2>Deadbeats>dbsmob>files.

So its basically making a new eq2 folder. Doubt thats right.

Looks like this. Sony folder. sub folders>Everquest 2>Everquest II ( which is the install of eq2 and everything else>station launcher>Eq2maps updater.

Any help be great.

Best bet with any flavor of Vista is to run everything as administrator including the initial setup of the installer.

Yacking

Im running vista but not vista 64, spent more time trying this still no good (

I sm guessing you are running Vista. I have the same problem on Vista. I cannot launch the game from the installer either but there is no real need to. You also might need the registry mod listed farther down this thread.
