Hi I cant get the icons to work proper... only thing it has done is enlarged the original icons for me. But your nice icons I see nothing of.... :/

I have installed the file as you described under my custom ui folder in my case it is C:\Spel\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\steel\eq2map

I took a backup of the original file and then copied your version of window_iconstyles.xml in to the \eq2map folder.

What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you installed the display size add-on and not the actual cons themselves. Make sure to download both the Alternate PoI Icons and the Alternate PoI Icons (10x10 Display).

[Miyy]

That solved my problem! Sorry for that I feel a bit sheepish, lol

Anyway Thanks a lot it now workes perfect!

Very nice icons by the way

New version released to handle individual groupmember icons, mailbox location icons (not yet implemented in EQ2MAP), and to add placeholders for future PoI categories. The 10x10 add-on works as-is, there's no need to redownload it.

How do I get the individual grp icons to show, I only see the defualt red circle for each member. I have dl'ed the new POI icons and placed them in my /images/icons folder.

Hi Ger,
I have 4.0a installed. but i get clusters as single pois.
i also use icons 10x10

[Killarny]

That is a clustering issue, it has nothing to do with the alternate icons.

[saegur]

Installed Alternate POI icons, worked great but the icons were too small to see well. I tried the 12x12 alternates but the icons remain the same size. My resolution is 1280x1024, and I thought that might be the problem, but experimenting with images in PhotoSuite does show a noticeable size difference between 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12. Anyone have suggestions?

Your not alone Lodrelhai, I too am having a terrible time making out even what the icons are, I just thought my eyes were getting really bad but even hubby and my 21 yr old kid (who has 20-20 vision btw) say they are much harder to see than they used to be. I struggle with it as I can't go back to the (pokadots) Im spoiled. I sure hope someone see's this and helps us out with a fix.

I wanna see ------> do the splits!

Since installing the alternate poi's the map doesn't show the location "X" when I put in location quordinates to find something.

There's a patch version of the alternate poi icons posted by mortis42, it has the X and has a slightly lighter F5 icon - no other differences.

Hello,

Icons install with no problems. The size of the icons are my problem...they're WAY too small. I tried installing the 12 x 12 file...no change.

MY resolution is set at 1680 by 1050.


Anyone still around that could assist me? Love the look of the icons....just way too small.

I actually made bigger icons for me to use, and I've been wanting to get them uploaded for public consumption.

Keep an eye on the "New and Updated" downloads list.

Nice I've always wanted those icons bigger so I could see them.
