ah sorry misread that my bad
hmm now i have the upper 3rd of my screen with a white core background but its definitely some of the mod i installed bottom 3rd is my original default screen.
What i did was i unzipped the mod to my net file from the manually made sure that the 4 dds filed in their imagedir was copied to eq2maps image section, then copied the rest into the the eq2main file no overwrites taking place, any ideas what to do next ?
