Sepulcher of Jhanda

The map is not showing up in game. I do not have a DDS file for it but a JPG instead. That is what the auto updater is downloading for me. I deleted the jpg and it redownloaded it and still will not show up in game.

My guild was in CC tonight and, surprise! The map was of the Down Below!

Eloa · #3 03-24-2005, 07:38 AM

Yes Florence We are currently having an issue with a few zones such as this. The problem is that SOE used the same maps, just blocked them off in a couple areas. To go along with this and make things harder for us, they used to same map reference name as the original maps zone, so we're trying to figure out how to use a different map even though SOE is telling the game to use the down below map. We will get it. I think Quib's been working hard on this one.

Quib · #4 03-24-2005, 02:07 PM

I'm working on CC/Down Below and Gobblerocks Hideout/Serpent Sewer. Should have it automatically loading the two properly soon. Luckily, SOE turned on the translucent fog for CC and GH so I'm using that as a true/false to get the correct POIs to show.

As for the wisp trail bug involving closing the window: I'm looking into it and may have a fix. I'll keep everyone posted.

what would we do without you?

Quib · #6 03-24-2005, 03:50 PM

Well, I imagine you'd do pretty well. Managing the website and/or mapping is way tougher than nailing down quirky little UI XML bugs. I'm just greasing the joints for this complex machine called EQ2MAP.

I think I've fixed the CC and GH POI issue. POIs should be working properly again in Serpent Sewer and The Down Below. Going to Gobblerocks Hideout and CC to make sure I have them loading correctly. Taking screenshots of various zone's POIs along to way so we can get that alignment issue taken care of.

I have done the installation and the updater works fine, but when I go in game, I don't see any maps after I zone. Typing 'M' gives me the old map. Please advise.

taco-man · #8 03-30-2005, 06:05 PM

can you try renaming your eq2.ini file that is in your everquest directory to something else (to keep as a backup) and if you have an EQ2MAP directory in you everquest ii\ui\ directory renaming it as well, and then running the updater. it will redownload all the filesfor it and create a new eq2.ini file for you. if that fixes it either one of the other ui mods you have was messing it up or a file the updater got was corrupt (which isnt likely because it uses an md5 check on almost all the files and redownloads any that dont match)

once you are done testing you can get rid of the files and folders you made and put your old ones back.

Palandrel · #9 03-30-2005, 08:54 PM

It didn't fix it. The eq2.ini got created as well as a new EQ2MAP folder like the previous time. It is not a problem with other UI modifications because I use the plain vanilla UI. Is there a way to type a command to "launch" your map interface from within the game?

taco-man · #10 03-30-2005, 09:08 PM

its just whatever key you set the map key to (default is m) could you attach a screenshot of what it looks like so i can tell what is wrong?

athmosphere · #11 03-31-2005, 03:12 PM

this is the error:

error Getting File List:
The operation has timed-out.

thanks

Here is the printscreen. I am not sure if it might have an impact, but I am playing both on a US and on a France server (2 different regions).

Daggan · #13 04-03-2005, 11:10 AM

The update program, EQ2Map Updater, never opens a full window on my XP system (SP2) and there is no way to resize the window to full. I would like to see the text of what is going on in that window. I did not find anything in the FAQ that applies to that.

the next version will be resizeable.

Thought I would post and say thank you for whatever you did, my updater displays perfectly now on my PC and laptop, I am very grateful =)

I was wondering if it is possible to change the path that the updater follows to auto-launch EQ2, I recently installed Mooks auto login (which i dearly love) and it needs to launch from the EverQuest2.exe file instead of the EQ2.exe file, but I cannot find a way to change it in the program, I did change the value in the config file but it still uses the EQ2.exe file and I am not sure what else would cause this.

If nothing else I can uninstall and reinstall to redirect it, but was hoping for an option that I am missing maybe.

Thanks for the great work, you guys rock =)

taco-man · #16 04-16-2005, 09:41 PM

there sure is, if you go back to the download page for the updater there is a section about command line options, look for the /setautolaunch command. once you set the the new autolaunch file using that command you will want to remove it form the place you add it to (the directions explain where to add it) or it will think you want to set what file to autolaunch every time. the new version will make this process much easier by adding a button in the program to do this.

Catasi · #17 04-03-2005, 11:32 AM

Per the message in the updater, I am posting this problem with some observations. The crash seems to happen whenever there are a largish number of updates (most days of late). It also seems to be when there are only one or maybe 2 updates left although the progress meter usually sticks at 50+%.

If another application is already open at the time of the crash, you can change focus to it by clicking on its window. I am not sure the existing application remains totally functional. You can even start a new application by double clicking on a desktop icon. However, those new applications (including Task Manager) will hang during startup or shortly thereafter. In all cases the system tray (mine autohides) will not raise and I have to resort to the Reset button to get the PC back.

I am running WinXP Home on a 2.8 GHz P4 with 800 Mhz FSB, 1 Gb of memory, Integrated NIC and an ATI 9800 XT (Pro I think it was).

Thanks for a great UI Mod !!!

droo · #18 04-04-2005, 03:24 AM

Still don't see any POI's showing up in Feerroot despite quite a few listed.

MsUnderstood · #19 04-04-2005, 12:16 PM

On my map system, rivervale east doesn't appear to work.

My map guide falls off the map at some point and it never moves to the other map for rivervale. Anyone else have this trouble?

tonyis3l33t · #20 04-04-2005, 12:30 PM

yep this is a known issue.

FlorenceSopher · #21 04-04-2005, 02:01 PM

At least in Thundering Steppes. I just logged in, via the updater, and when I opened my map all the eq2map poi's are gone. World map still shows the zone connection overlay so I know eq2map is running...

tonyis3l33t · #22 04-04-2005, 02:09 PM

rerun the updater

Allurah · #23 04-04-2005, 03:57 PM

I get this error each time I run the auto updater

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Dragonforge · #24 04-08-2005, 09:18 PM

first off the app is great i have it running on my win2k machine no problem .. but on my Win XPHome machine i am getting
Application has generaded an Exception that could not be handled
prosess id =ox5ed (1540), Thered id = 0x178(376)

thanks for the time

Sgt_Pitt · #25 04-08-2005, 10:09 PM

i fixed my problem, it was because i selected US, region, EQ2 installed the game files in a folder called something like US_Region within the EQ2 main directory, so i copied the contents of the US_Region folder back into the main Eq2 folder and Eq2Map is now working.

Thx guys, great mod, keep up the good work
