Override MainHUD_map.xml

[Loktha]

Could someone explain this to me a little more clearly. Let me explain what I want to understand.

I would like to incorporate eq2map into the custom UI I'm creating. Now, if I don't override the map file, I get no maps to display in game. If I override, I get a default looking map window with full map functionality.

How can I make eq2maps work with my customized map window? Do I have to mod the map.xml that downloads with the auto updater? If so, will I have to everytime I run it?
