Map QuestionFollow

I went to EQ Toolbox and downloaded the "ALL" version. Unzipped it into my C:/Program Files/Sony/EQ/Maps folder. When you look in there all the maps are there. When I log on I still only have maps that came with my EQ CD's. Ex. Frontier Mountains has 1 Graphic and 3 Notepad files in the folder just like POK. I have the POK map but not the Frontier Mountains map. I downloaded the Sony version also so I know they are compatible with the game.

Someone told me to download from EQAtlas which I haven't tried yet.

On a last night, I did reboot and repatch to see if that helped and it didn't.

Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong or where I can go to get the maps downloaded and working?

Where is this EQ Toolbox?

I also loaded some maps from the Atlas site - and just looked and only have txt files there?

I have all the expansions.

yah worked here too, i think maps hate you Josette

There are two versions of the maps. Can't remember which to use, though I thought it was the Sony version, but you said you used that one. The site tells you which you should use, just make sure you got the right one.

Well, you could try to download the other version and see if it works.

It does include the LDoN maps. The maps themselves are pretty accurate, however the mob spawns may not be.

No idea. Eveything works fine for me. Are you cleaning out the directory in between attempts?

I did the same thing as Josettee.

It's there on both my boxes, so it's not just you. On some maps you can disable lables to clear this up. I'm not sure about PoK however, I think I know where things are at so I try not to bring it up there.

OK here's exactly what I did (as best as I can remember):

I clicked on the link as provided above (in my last post, where I quoted it from whoever posted it before). I used the default settings on the web site that comes up - Sony format and zip file. I clicked the "download all maps" button and, on the next screen, clicked on the link for "allmaps_soe.zip". I saved the file to my My Documents folder. I then opened explorer and, after looking around on my hard drive with explorer, located the Maps folder somewhere in program files under Sony/EverQuest. I deleted the entire contents of the Maps folder. I then navigated in explorer to My Documents and right clicked on the downloaded file, extracting the contents to the maps folder in the Sony/EverQuest section of program files. When done like this, it never asks you to overwrite anything since there's nothing in the Maps folder to overwrite. That's about it.

I tried this last night and it didn't work for clearing up the duplicate lables. Click the layer button, it's either 1 or 2 that removes the extra lables.

Good luck.

And it never saves this as your preferred choice, so you have to click on it every single time you zone in. There must be some layer of the map that I can delete because this is the most annoying thing ever. (Well, maybe not, but it is annoying.)

I plan to investigate what to delete tonight when I play and get annoyed with this all over again.

Of course, once I figure this out, and then want to download maps again because there are new zones I want the maps for, it will be starting over at square one.
