All Black border and window frame

Ok if i use just EQ2Map and nothing else it works fine but..

if i use it in conjunction with the complete set I currently use i get the map but not the border and frame it comes up all black I am thinking its because the author or the UI set I am using has in some way changed a source that the new EQ2map calls on I must tell you this was not the case with the old EQ2map of a couple weeks ago so it must be something you guys changed recently.

I have tryed to track this down but have been unable to.. If one of the EQ2map authors could look at this at tell me the exact incompatibility it would be great here is the UI set i use

Always install eq2map ontop of the custom UI you are using, unless other wise stated by the UI auther. It's also best to do it with a fresh update from one of the autoupdaters.

man I love it when someone just doesnt have a clue but replies anyway.
Maybe you could reread my post think about and then reply more approprietly eh? I Know how to install UI thank you very much. And even when installing EQ2map on TOP of the UI it does this.
Even when renaming the EQ2.ini and downloading a brandnew set of files using the Auto updater and then copying them over the top of the Custom UI it does this so now that we have gotten this out of the way maybe you could REREAD my original post and help me find out WHY the new VERSION of EQ2MAP is doing this with not just this UI set i am using but a few others as well from what i have been told. \
A cookie cutter system generic response does noone any good man. All it shows is you didnt even try to think about the cause.

My first thought to your issue is this.
Are you by chance letting EQ2Map updater over write your eq2_mainhud_map.xml file? If you are then I bet there is your problem.
There have been similar issues with other UI's due to this. I have mine set to ask me if I wish to over write the file and I always say no. This way I keep the map window the UI's author made and I seem to have no problems with regards to my map.
While I am not a UI author, I do hope this info helps. If not, hope some one else who does know something about the EQ2Map program can help you.

If I am right though, simply extract that file from your zip of your UI and put it into your UI directory and see what happens. It may solve your issues.

I have tried both actually but using EQ2maps EQ2_mainhud_map.xml should work but it doesnt. using the one from the author shows the border and the map but not the icons since he made it before they changed everything. Using The xml from EQ2map show the map and icons but not the border and drop down menus and such. I have tried many things nothing works to allow these two mods to work togethor. there is quite obviously some imcompatibility here and i am not sure what. And I dont think that the interface author knows what it is as he has not commented on it. Like you say it is happening with other mods too my intent was to have a EQ2map team member to look at EQ2map AND my interface and find the exact incompatibility so we can spread it around what is goin on. The Interface i use in not the most popular one but it does have over 3k downloads. I am sure people are going to become upset at things not working properly very soon. Where it is not the problem per se of the EQ2map team and is prob a fault of my interfaces author, the problem still surfaces based on recent changes to EQ2map so I am hoping they will help

Ok there does seem to be some issues with the current eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml being pushed with the updaters. I'll get with Dolby and get him a new one. For now use this, its the most current beta we are testing minus the new options that isn't ready yet. Just put this ontop of the one you are using now. Make sure when you run eithere of the updaters don't let it over write eq2ui_mainhud.map.xml.

*edit: Opps that was with the new poi system.. one sec I'll get u a good one*
