What's with the scroll bars? Do you have every page on one page?

Other than that, might impressive. I've seen that idea brought up a few times, but dropped due to memory requirements to load each and every single map. It would be immense.

each tab has all the maps the correspond to that tab.. for instance.. kunark has all the kunark maps. when you click the tab it loads the maps fromt hat tab. There about 15 seconds loading time.. but other than that.. no biggie. These maps were chosen because each one is about 8k in size.

Theres no way to add a second set of tabs for the specific zones? Seems having one long scroll window could be a little annoying.

That said, it looks great, and ill probably use it when its done <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

Wholly shit, that's the coolest thing i've seen. You are the man, that's gonna save me sooo much damn time. Truely, it's the best mod i could think of.

One question with a little problem not soo much directed at your download just on overall thing.

How can i use a downloaded UI. like geists for example, and the map mod? if i log and and load the new map mod it defaults my ui, then if i load my UI, it takes the map off?

08-09-2002, 02:28 AM

And throughout the VI and Sony offices you hear the faint mumble of Smedley saying..."OMFG...what kind of a can of worms have we opened with this new UI?"

Woot! Very nice work. very nice.

the maps themself are 768x768. The map window is resizable.

What resolution do you want to run them under? :P Even at 800x600 you can set the window to a size you like and scroll the map.

Remind us next time and we will make something that only works for some folks :P

slight problem. i loaded the skin, and the map tab opened, but all the text was HUGE. like i was MAX zoomed in

any way to shrink the maps or zoom out

note, this was at 1024x768 resolution

also, it seems that i was only getting 1 map loaded. like on antonica i was getting the befallen map, but i couldnt scroll all that far right

also, on the help tab, i was getting only part of the image (like i was only loading one part of it or something). just looking at the image id say only 1/4 of it was loaded (the top left quarter)

any ideas

question:

does this use the action window as I seem to have read?

if so, how do i get around not being able to make socials anymore? every once in a while I'll come up with something that I want to make a social for (i.e., new INC message, new /ooc I want to remember, new macro, etc..)

I always did this thru what I think is the actions window. Am I completely off base?

if I'm just an idiot please /bonk me and i'll learn my lesson.

thanks for the mod. it's a GREAT idea that i've been wanting for some time.

take care,

Very impressive--good work.

My only change? I'd use the window control bar or pet bar or even friend panel instead of the action bar..maybe I'm old fashioned, but I use the action bar so much I really need it where I have it--small in the lower right corner.

But it's your invention, your work, so you make it how you like...but damn, it is impressive.

Something on your side?

08-09-2002, 03:20 PM

i posted this on my guildmsg board for the once ho did not understand the reamy compleatly like i did.

this is how it mostly works...

there 2 commands you must remember

/loadskin default 1

/loadskin (a map name)* 1

*mapname of the map where you put your uimap files in.

installation

unzip the files into a made map in the map

program files/everquest/uifiles/

like i took (uimap) as a mapname

program files/everqeust/uifiles/uimap/

and here i put all my files of uimap.

now i go start eq

... few sec later...

now im in eq

i press

/loadskin uimap 1

and in my action bar there appears a hole lot of tabs...

i have to expand the size of the action window to make clear the names of the tabs.

loading the maps takes a little time and it seems your pc is stuck... wait a while and the maps appear... youl have to scroll but its usefull.

if you dont want so manny tabs again just do this.

/loadskin default 1

and you load the default action bar again seems to take a bit longer then just the uimap but it works.

and again your actoin hotkeys are scruwed up and you have to fix them again a few mouse clicks will help that.

thats all... i hope this helps.

Got a suggestion. The drop down boxes for continent and then zone is obviously a better solution. But in the interum you might try this.

Make a series of UI Mods with the names Kunark, Luclin, Faydwer, etc. You then load the skin with the appropriate name when hunting. Maybe even break up the maps some.

I realize it would require the user to reload a skin everytime they change continents and want a map. But it might make it a bit easier to navigate thru the maps.

Wow great job this is AWSOME specially for people who get lost pretty often and need to find there way fast because u have a train on your butt lol

but i have a question off topic for u...

i was looking for something that i actually never found and i was wondering if it was doable...

i found a skin with hotkey/invent window with the primary and secondary slot at the bottom.... link with a pic follow...

would like to know if it is possible to replace the primary/secondary slot for a small dropable zone (auto equip)... just so we dont have to click on I to drop foraged items... would be awsome for foragers.... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

Solad,

So what is this board for ? happy sprinkles ? I gave an opnion. I did not personally attack anyone in particular. Yes it was a bit harsh, but that is what I am used to seeing on our boards.

I will give the guy credit for taking the time to do what he (and others according to this thread) has done. Te idea is an ok one , just not for me. This thread is posted all over a bunch of boards now, and the consensus is actually very posative in its favor. Some people just need that extra advantage. Personally I wouldnt use it , just for the fact that the time it takes to load the maps , well you could already be halfway across whatever zone it is that you are trying to look up. Then againI'm a bard and can move faster than all in the game.

In summation , I give the original poster credit for his active mind and useing the time to do something that he felt would give him an advantage.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> So what is this board for ? happy sprinkles ? I gave an opnion. I did not personally attack anyone in particular<hr></blockquote>

Nope , but this board is used to share new features implemented into the game. It sure as hell isnt a place to attack people simply because they use something well within the rules to help ease their travels. Oh, and you did not personally attack anyone in particular , you attacked everyone who dares download this mod.

Like you said, not everyone is a bard. Not everyone can zip across the karanas in 30 seconds. Not everyone has the spacial skills to navigate the vast lands of norrath. Calling people "F'ing tools" just because they are smart enough to carry a map around when they travel is just ignorant.

Now that my rant is out of the way.

Ramsus what you have done here is terrific. However , i am having some problems with it. For some reason , when i load up the maps they are very zoomed in and are much larger than what is shown on your screenshots. The maps also seems to be overlapping each other so some of them are bluntly cut off. I know this is probly just me and a few others as it seems to be working fine for alot of people. I tried minimizing all the images before putting it into my skins folder but all that did was made the images hard to read and did not solve the overlapping problem. Anyone have any clue ?

It's very easy to add to an existing mod, it only overwrites 1 file of the UI. None of the mods I have use that file, either, so I've added it to the ones I use, Moro's on my enchanter and Geist's on my monk, so far.

Of course, I have the overlarge map problem too, but once that gets resolved, should be nice. I'm using AMD650 with voodoo3 and ~640ram.

One other possibility, is everyone who is having the problem using the unamable program that oh so many people use? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

seems to me all the people who are having problems with the size are low on ram or processor power... at 1gb ram I'm using 493 with eq running windowed and some other stuff (winamp, cooling software, few IE windows, etc). eq has plenty of space to load the images in atm. another thing, the guy with the intel vid card and the guy with the voodoo3... those aren't really supported under dx8 I think... I know eq uses that to render the stuff, that could be another problem I think.

Its a great mod thanks!

ok a few questions: (feedback)

1) Is it possible to stack tabs in the new UI? So you have it like this..

Click on Velious tab > shows Each zone name as a tab then click for the Map?

Im assuming its not or you would probably have done it already <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

2) If question 1 isnt possible. Maybe you could create more tabs? Like Velious A-H ...Velious I-P etc. This should reduce the amount of time loading when clicking on each tab right?

3) Does it have to be in the actions window? is it possible to change it to its own window ..like the chat window or does the UI not support this? or could it be put in maybe the options menu instead?

08-12-2002, 07:57 AM

Verant cant take anyone to court over this, why? because this is a UI Mod, its not a 3rd party programme like show eq is/was.

Verant has let us customize this UI, they have made it so we can do some pretty nifty things with it, and that is what exactly has happened here, an awesome Mod, nothing more.

Interest isn't declining. It's going up. Don;t get me wrong, I couldn't be happier. I just need to figure out how to support this.

Banner ads? (i dont really want to, but if it pays the costs of the hardware, I will).

Paypal donation box? There's one there. Noone seems to notice :P

Any thoughts on this?

Don;t aks me why I'm discussing this here, I guess its because ive been part of thsi community since it started and respect the opinions of most of the folks here, I guess.

I rarely get lost, My sense heading guides me and I can track my way to some places if that is neccessary. Everyone has sense heading.. Why are we putting these maps online? Had to make sure the E-Bay characters could play their lvl 50s the first week that came online? *Sigh* A tragedy I tell you.

Also, head to Veeshan server and petition to have that name changed. Phugg Innaga (sp), after all that is just too close to "F*cking A".

Not sure why some people complain about everything???????

anyways, Ramsus, my comps are real slow with EQ now, so although I and almost everyone else loves it, I cannot use. /cry

yah, i'd move the maps onto some custom tabs off the 'help' window. same with tradeskill recipes. (yes, i know, the html file is hard coded, so you can do it 'easy' and put them there), so that people's 'normal' or 'custom' UI won't get affected.

I like the maps quite a bit, nice job.

Only two observations/suggestions (which have probably already been mentioned):

(1) The maps are a bit hard to navigate through... finding the zone you're looking for.

(2) Some of the zones, Ssra Temple for example, have several levels - because the levels are "stacked" on top of each other they're basically impossible to read (even though they're different colors). Maybe you could just separate the levels?

08-14-2002, 01:31 PM

Am downloading it now and will report how it goes. The UImod posted over at eqtraders that gave you all the recipies changed the help files to do it. This adds to the UI instead so there should be no issue.

I can see V being annoyed if you removed their help files from people to show them something, but this is a add on that does not remove anything.

08-14-2002, 06:26 PM

why loadskin every time?

I just tossed the window into the top left (my unused portion) of my screen, and minimized the dang thing. How often do you actually use the other tabs in there?

I also tossed all my (normally) swapped socials on to an unused hotkey bank along with 5 empty ones (in case I need to make a new social), and mapped "sit" to my keyboard. Got plenty extra room on my hotkey banks even with my Everamp socials in there.

Also, found a workaround for the 15 second freeze up when you click on a map tab. Seems to be caused by the UI loading the image the first time you use it, so I click every tab when I first log in (figure I'm usually saying hey to friends and guild then anyways, and almost always safe), in the case of a /q to clear aggro on a raid, you would only need one map anyways, so just log back, FD, and hit that tab.

I know this is a few days later... but my hubby loaded this skin on his main char, and we find it pretty cool it works great. The only problem was that after the patch wednesday his char kept booting him to the desktop and staying logged on forever until he actualy rebooted his system (yeh like Karnor is the best place to have that happen).

So anyway...while he took a nap I deleted his folder with all his skins. He had like three downloaded, but I'm not sure how many were in use on that charated what kept getting booted to the desktop, so my question is....

Is this one safe to reload? I'd hate to load it and find out what my be the hard way.

I could be wrong but it seems that everyone with the font problem is useing less then the recommended (512mb) of RAM, perhaps this is a memory issue more then anything else?

That is, of course, the only conclusion I could see due to the fact that someone had the Radeon and stil had the problem. This deletes the video card as being the issue.

We released a version of the maps today in the help window for those who would rather have it there.

I'm working on a version that is custom made to use the eqatlas maps. You will just have to download the maps from them, since muse is pretty protective of his maps.

We're trying to figure out a way to have single maps per page, but so far the only way seems to be with 160+ tabs.. which aint cool.

If they don't break lose with the ability to add our own windows soon, you can expect to a version using the help file. I don;t really want to do that, but at this point, it's the only way to have the maps in a nice organized fashion with a single click to the map you want. Not sure which maps we'll use for that yet. We'd like to allow folks to use the maps of their choice, but we'll see.

Currently there doesnt seem to be a way to actually call a document. Give me 2 things.

Given enough time it would even hav an item database available.

Look for a message from me shortly with a letter Im going to request folks send of to verant. We hate breaking existing windows. We don;t want to hack up their code. ALl we want is 1 new window and the ability to call a file from it

about the problem yall are having with the maps being all blown up etc..... Make sure your color depth is set to 32bit in your options window...

Graphics act strange in mods if the graphics files are saved under one color depth and you run EQ is a lesser depth.

Dunno if thats the problem here but its worth trying.

You won't want any other maps after you see the new ones we will have included.

We will also be making a map 'vault'. You want to edit a map and add some points, do so. Upload it back to us, and once verified it could very well become the standard map we make available. Until someone else takes it and mmodifies it some more.

I am very envious of the people that have the skills to make custom skins for the new UI - I sure as hell can't even begin to comprehend what is involved...

Grats on putting your skills and knowledge to use for the general public! and also Thank You.

I'm going to download (the help version) and install the stuff -- I am curious... but also to aid in trouble shooting the ZOOM issue.

I have a 600 Classic Athlon with 384 MB PC-100 due to motherboard limitations and a 64MB GeForce3 TI/450 in a 1X AGP slot - old and crappy motherboard I guess and I am on a really fast DSL

I tried out this mod a while back, really nifty lil thing if you don't know your way around the zones well <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

I myself don't really use it much considering I know most of the zones in game by heart (what can I say, I memorize shit like no tomorrow) and when I'm in a group I'm normally the person leading. Feel bad for those without safe fall though, haha.

Definitely will be looking forward to your new mod Ramsus, keep up the good work <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

Hmm... one problem that I see right off the bat is that the map you show here for Dawnshroud isn't accurate. At least, the Rockhopper/Sambata caves aren't.

The tunnel goes in, widens to a cave, then turns left, goes for a bit, widens into another cave, turns right, goes, widens to a third cave, then there are two tunnels to the left and right which are very short and lead to the fourth and fifth caves.

Some poor sap trying to use this map to find his way through would end up lost, as it doesn't show what's really there. Maybe the map files you are using are only partial?

Another point... would it be possible to make the lines less harsh? Perhaps about one-fourth the darkness of what is shown here. (I can do a mock-up of what I mean if that's not clear.)

Oh, btw, I would be willing to help draw in the landmarks (buildings and whatnot) if you need any assistance.

09-10-2002, 07:03 PM

the map is 100% accurate. Like i said, they are generated from the game files. The issue is you are trying to make 2d images out of 3d models. If you look closely at the tunnels in the ne corner you will see that while it is square shaped, there is actually rooms carved in to the 'blocks'. In order to show tunnels at al you have to set the depth to a degree that it cuts off the roof. Well, the first cave you enter is set a bit higher than the others. In fact, the only thing low enough to actually show on the map is the well worn groove in the floor. thats why the first room doesnt show up as a room, just as a 'tunnel'. hard for me to explain.

On the left side, the big gray area is the top os the building/zone to SS.

The issues we are having is dealing with depth etc. Every map is different.

For insance, a 3d model of crystal caverns shows tunnels running around spiraling etc. How do you represent that in a 2 drawing? If you remove the rof of the tunnel you are removing the floor of the tunnel above it etc.

if you want to help work on the maps etc, the zone converter software is available on our website at eq-toolbox.com.

Eventually we will have a map depositry set up so folks can get the latest versions of the maps, make any updates and resubmit them.

It's alot of work for us to do ourselves, and if the support is there from the users etc, it could turn out to be a nice set of maps.

I looked carefully at that part of the map, and I just don't see it... unless the part of the tunnels is simply disapearing below "ground level" so to speak.

There are five caves in there, and the map shows three. (Plus the map shows the first tunnel going to the right after the cave, whereas it actually goes to the left.) Probably the best way to handle it would be to hand-draw corrections like this.

As for the Crystal Caves, it will probably be necessary to draw the tunnels in descending shades, so that the topmost levels are bright and the lowest levels are very dark (but still discernable from the background.) That might allow the depth to show through, but if there is a LOT of overlap them it still might be too complex to be workable.

Another possibility (I don't know if this would work) might be to render the map at an angle, showing the descending tunnels from some direction other than straight up. Maybe have any three-dimensional region like CC use two side-by-side maps, one directly overhead and one from the side. The composit of the two should be enough for anyone to figure out where they are.

Fatal, that's a beautiful map, and it shows off your hard work.

I have a few questions.

1. What size are these map files typically?

2. Are these for the "only loads the zone you're in" mod that's being developed, or all for the "all regional maps at once" mod currently out?

3. Have you given any thought to making a topographical version of the maps?

It may be clearer and more useful when navigating, and would take depths into consideration. It would only be a line drawing topo-pic, and would only require perhaps 4 colors, but in varying shades to show elevation. Green for above ground terrain, blue for underwater terrain, brown for underground terrain, and perhaps white or yellow for structures. This would aslo keep the maps conservative of memory. Reason I ask, is there are several zones that just by looking the terrain from the top it appears you can simply run straight from point A to B, when in fact there a stretch of impassable terrain (hill, etc) that does not allow you to cross over the top of it. The zone becomes a bit of a maze to get through since no mention is made of the points to high to go over. By having a topo-map, the same color line you use for the zone wall could be used to designate elevations to high to breach, allow one to plot a more direct route of travel.

Just a thought. Again, what you have done so far is amazing and appreciated.

Tipop:

Nod, there are 5 caves. Like I said, i couldnt explain it very well. All you see of the first cave (where the tunnel hands the first left is the center of the cave) is the lowest spot of the cave. Yes, some hand editting can be done. But then the maps become alot of work that Im just not willing to do by myself.

Raph:

What do you mean by size? LxW? or filesize? You can size the map to any size you want. I'm thinking 1024x1024 is a good number. Depending on the format you save the map in, it really makes a difference in the file size.

Once the map set is available, you will be able to use it however you want.

Outside zones are quite easy to do topo maps for. The software currently being used does this. but there are alot of settings. Again, the software is available for you to generate your own maps to your own liking.

Since the image displayed is just a static image and has no connection to the game whatsoever, the current method of displaying maps wouldn't work for that. Now..

if someone wrote a program that monitored your logile, generated the appropiate map file, was able to tell coordinated on the map, parse your coords when you hit /loc and generate a new map, that would be kind of cool. It would probably be against the EULA also.

I installed it and works great.

I don't know if this is mentioned by earlier posts or if it's doable, not sure how the map images work within the ui, but I thought it would be very nice if the maps would line up one after another straight down, so there's no need to scroll right and left. It would make a lot easier to locate a map and more user frendly. =D

Been real real busy.. .. um.. I completed that mod I discussed before but it has a couple issues that I wasn;t able to work around.

My current map window is just the PoP maps. 20ish buttons. 1 map per window. If you want it, i can load it. I don;t really use the old maps much. I have thought of making them available the same way, by expansion, but you would have to load a different folder as you changed expansions. Shrug. Personally, i cant stand the scrolling maps. What i would Like is the option to create pulldown tabs that would change windows, thus loading different maps.

And yes, those maps are available from Showeq. And mapfiend. And Eq macros. And...

Well it appears the issie has been solved with the large fonts (just picked this up and got the problem) but I haven't seen any responses as to how one might fix it for less than $150ish. (Upgrade to a 32 bit vid card)

Scanning through all 10 pages, I did notice the one common denominator really seemed to be those of us either with a 16 bit card, or using the 16 bit options for the game.

Since I know a grand sum of nothing on this, I have a question for the makers and modders.

If I were to open the maps in a program (Photoshop, PSP etc) and re-save them as 16 bit files, would this possibly fix my problem? Kind of nice to know, because IF I do, I can send a copy of my finished fixed maps to someone who wanted to host them for DL. Since it's such an awesome mod, I think it would be great if we could somehoow include the "poor folks" who are still toughing it out under our 16 bit voodoo cards.
