Unofficial maps in game

taco-man · #1 12-28-2004, 08:07 PM

you would have to add more buttons and pages for the new maps as well as converting the new maps images to .dds format. What he posted is basicly a template.

Won't adding maps cause UI bloat? It will be interesting to see how much memory is used up for maps when this is done. Some experimenting with their map window might be interesting to see if they load maps from disk only when needed.

UI bloat could be reduced or avoided completely if only 3 maps are used...just replace the maps in the ui/images/maps folder (or whatever you point the ui to) to the ones you will be using. You can map the ui to 1.dds, 2.dds, 3.dds, then just drop 3 maps in there and rename them.

This *should* impliment personal notes dragable in the game. Just made a floating text piece that is user movable...havent tested yet.

No worky. Enclosing the text in its own page with UserMoveable="true" doesn't work either.

here ya go, this one works just fine.
shows notes AND allows you to move them

Deathbane27 · #7 12-29-2004, 01:02 AM

There we go, that was silly of me. I removed AbsorbsInput="false" from the text to try and move them. When that didn't work, I put a Page around it but forgot to put that back in, so the text was blocking the mouse from moving the page.

to show Eloa's version this should work

/show_window MainHUD.Maps

and to hide
/hide_window MainHUD.Maps

I think you got the wrong thread Farcrowe. This is the development thread for this mod. Please post your questions & issues in the help forum or the official thread in the released forum. Thanks.

Please continue this thread on topic (Development) after this post.

Hey guys do you mind if I boast that eq2interface.com hosts the EQ2MAP (by quib and friends) modification in the network news forum just to get the word out about this? I have access to post there.

Humudce · #15 02-07-2005, 02:41 PM

Sounds like a great Idea, but I'm not one of the people can answer that.

tonyis3l33t · #16 02-07-2005, 02:47 PM

That would be awesome

i have been discouraged by the post view to download ratio lately

just put the project team instead of "Quib and Friends" pls

I earned my piece of the pie hehe

Wait for quib's answer, but I'd say be sure to include some screenshots

Hope your site can handle the load (not that its not very popular already.)

Im wasn't really concerned much about that when i started on it because my "bad" computer has 2gb of ram and my good one has 3, but hopefully it wont use too much.
