Have you made the EQ2.ini file point it to eq2maps ?

I think eq2maps is default.

You need one to tell eq2 to look for a custom UI.

Add those lines to your eq2.ini file if they are not there allready

cl_ui_skinname EQ2MAP
cl_ui_subdir UI/

Where EQ2MAP is the directory containing the eq2map files.
Change the name if you need to.
