Title: Custom Map Window
Post by: Hunter on September 10, 2013, 11:30:36 pm
Posted on left side of forums a link to custom map window someone gave me.

Making it available here for everyone else to use too:

http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=get8

Has very few buttons, likc "C" Button for Center yourself on map, etc.

So small, makes a great radar type window to keep up all the time!

You can see the pic below, and the size of it compared to the spell gems:

  • Make a copy of your <your install path>uifiles\default\EQUI_MapViewWnd.xml file
  • Load the attached file into uifiles\default
  • Completely shutdown client and restart

One thing you can do if you don't want to lose your original ui files is make a new directory in uifiles, then load that as a custom ui.  It will load any files that are in that directory but any that aren't it will load from the default directory.

That is what I do, so my default folder is always original and works.

/loadskin default
For example
But using hunters way will list all available UI's in a pop up window

Might I add another suggestion. Make Q your map keybind.  Makes life so much easier, especially when you need to spam map for places like The Abyss, in which a minimap is a nightmare.  By using Q its very simple to open Map window and close it.

E for attack
Q for map

always makes MMORPGs easier, just cant strafe.

Hi
Made a small mod to this, as was missing a couple of things i use
also moved buttons to side edge, to make clearer, so it is slightly bigger, but not much )

It still gives XML error, but only because atlas isnt there

Edit
Posted to Hunter, if he okays it, will link it
