running eq maps and another custom UI
 

This sounds like such a noob question but just not understand I guess. I use EQ maps and would also like to run another custom UI, whether pieces or a full one, in addition to the map. But everytime I DL another custom UI I cannot get both to work. Am I installing the custom UI into the wrong folder?
If so what folder should the additional UI be unzipped to?..Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..

You should be able to put them in the folder eq2map created.

I did that, still not working. Do i gotta do something with the ui.ini?

Hiyas =)

A couple of things. One depends on what custom UI you are running. For example if you are running Fetish, Zonx has specific instructions for installing eq2map and his mod in order to get them to work together. So if you are using a *package UI* like Fetish. Thor, Extreme - check the documentation for the UI or ask in the specific UI thread.

But, if like me, you are running a compilation of pieces (with no custom map UI pieces) you might just be going about it the wrong way around.

First you need to create a custom UI dir. See how to do that in *this* thread installing faq

THEN install EQ2Map - as it looks to eq2.ini for *directions* on what UI is automatically loading when you open the game.

Thats the easiest way to do it. Depends on the savvyness of the person doing it, you could also just create your custom UI dir now and move EQ2map into it taking care to merge items in the image folder and not just overwrite it.
