Can u use both EQ2Map, and a UI

[ghostsouls]

I been looking all over and cant seem to find a thread on this, so hopefully no one gets angry because i'm asking but I spent a few hours here looking....

I downloaded EQ2Map, installed per your directions, works great... TY
I downloaded a UI, installed per the directions, works great also.... TY

Now the problem, I can use one or the other, but not both at the same time. Is this how this is, I need to choose the map or the UI, or is there a way to integrate them both and have them both working at the same time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EQ2Map it self is just a custom interface. Copy the custom UI Files you want into the EQ2Map UI Folder or copy the EQ2MAP files into your custom UI folder.

they just need to be in the same custom folder.

ok if you have eq2map installed and its the one that you have currently working, then just copy the files for the other mods you are using into the eq2map folder that is in your ui directory, that is your "custom ui folder" if any installation instructions refer to it.

you will never have to edit the eq2.ini file if you have the eq2map updater, if you want to change which folder is your custom folder, go to the updater, open the options window, and use the drop down menu for the custom folder to pick a new one (the fodler must be created in the correct spot already for you to be able to pick it)

if you have the other mod working right now, just run the eq2map updater, it will automatically detect the change in your eq2.ini file and update to that directory instead. you may want to run the updater every time you want to play eq2 (or at least like once a week) to get the newest updates, because it contains updates with new points, fixes for incorrect points, and new maps when they are added. it only downloads the new files you need so it wont take that long after the initial download(the initial download will happen only once for each time you switch ui folders, after that it only downloads new/updater files for that folder).

I am having problems with my UI installation and I'm not sure if its connected to this mod or some overall problem. I'm posting in this thread and I'm also creating a general thread in the Help!!?? forum. I'll update both when it's resolved in case others are having this problem.

Here is what I've done:

1. I've downloaded the EQ2Map autoupdater, unzipped it, and installed it

2. Ran the EQ2Map autoupdater, it created an eq2.ini file in my /EverQuest II folder and created /EverQuest II/UI/EQ2MAP folder with all the right subfolders and files

3. I then downloaded, unzipped, and copied over the three individual mods I'd like to use. I copied them all over into the /EverQuest II/UI/EQ2MAP folder, so for example I now have the following in my EQ2MAP folder
/eq2map
/images
eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_knowledge.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml

I have also copied over the necessary knowledge book image files into the /images subfolder.

When I run the game, my EQMaps works and one of three other mods works. Only one. And if I remove the one that is working (right now it happens to be Scrollless Chat Window - but it's also been Mook 3in1 Hotbar and red_dragon_knowledge book) the next in line after that one will work. But I can only get one to work in addition to EQMaps.

Any ideas here?

My issue is resolved: http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=3804

For whatever reason I had to disable EQ2MAP, log in to fix my other mods, and then re-log in via the autoupdater.
