Missing Maps Fix ***please sticky****Follow

#1 Nov 23 2006 at 3:27 PM Rating: Decent
ok, i and many other players have bug where certain maps are missing, through trial and error i have found way to fix it

1. zone into a connected zone <but not the zone of the map that is missing>

Example: Butcherblock Mountains is missing, so zone into greater faydark and make sure your map window is closed!!

2. alt-tab outta eq and go to mapfiend.net now, delete all butcheblock files in your everquest map directory.

3. download the 3 BB mountains files, after download make sure each file is there by opening it up and viewing the text in notepad. Save before exiting each file.

4. alt-tab back into EQ and zone back into butcherblock. DO NOT OPEN UP MAP WINDOW UNTIL ZONING BACK INTO THE MISSING ZONE!! THIS WILL DELETE THE MAP FILE'S CONTENTS

5. open your map window up and you should see the map now.

I have never heard of this problem. Nice you posted this but i highly doubt it will get stickied as this isnt even a tech support forum.

OR, log out, go to mapfiend and downlaod the zip file with ALL the maps and unzip it into your EQ maps folder.

Instead of spending days tracking down which maps you have and which ones you don't, this will make sure you have them all and takes about 5 minutes.

/oocing in PoK will usually get about 10 responses saying the exact same thing.

It's not a bug, SOE simply doesn't provide every map in game.

Mapfiend had a small problem and some of the maps had 0 kbytes. Just redownload the zip file again or you can go to your map folder, click View>Lists.

Anyfile with a 0 is blank. Make a note of which ones are and re-download them individually, choosing to replace the file when prompted.

Here's a link to the full map file.
