InfoMap Advanced v1.8
InfoMap is a Vanguard UI map mod for use ingame. It is a joint project with contributions from Cobal, Drakonar, Maraka, Nadger, Soresha and Xndyr.
The advanced version of the InfoMap mod includes significantly more functionality than the default Vanguard UI. - Enhanced terrain maps showing roads, rivers and major structures.
- Higher resolution maps of the cities.
- Map browser window, giving access to maps and data layers for all continents at any time. Each continent is divided into sections which can be zoomed in/out by left/right clicking on the maps.
- Interactive maps of the raid dungeon, Ancient Port Warehouse, given in the map browser window. The dungeon is divided into sections which can be zoomed in/out by left/right clicking on the maps. The sections can also be toggled on/off on the full map using the buttons or by right clicking on the images, revealing the dungeon areas underneath.
- Data layers with PoIs for metal, stone, wood, cloth and services which can be toggled on and off. Uses distinct markers for each of the PoI types, with a key to the markers given in a separate window.
- Direct access to the web-based PoI maps on Soresha.net providing full access to the PoI database with many different options available.
- Improved riftway map window, easily accessible at any time.
- Resizable minimap, with functionality to zoom in/out by double/right clicking over the map. Optional buttons on the minimap to open the windows for the riftways, map browser, key and web-based PoI maps.
- Two optional hotbars with buttons to toggle the data layers and open the riftway, map browser, key and web-based PoI maps. Can be re-positioned in layout mode.
- Initial selection of resource types according to character's harvesting skills, triggered by moving the mouse over the minimap after logging in.
- Smaller icons for ingame and CustomPoIName.txt file PoI markers.
- Map images optimised to require less memory.
- Essential craft information for attuning catalysts, upgrade recipe requirements and harvesting nodes included as an additional tab in the map browser window.
The date in the filename indicates when the data was extracted from the PoI database. The PoIs are collected by players using an Automatic Logging System and comparison scripts are used to check new data, so the accuracy of the data is high.
The map mod can be installed on it's own or combined with other map standards compliant UI mods. It can also be used in conjunction with a CustomPoINames.txt file for your other PoIs.
Installation instructions and further details are available on the project web page: http://www.soresha.net/infomap/
Replacement Data Images
Updated data images for InfoMap Advanced are available from the project web page. These updates will be generated as new data becomes available in the PoI database and announced via the website's RSS feed.

Re: Re: InfoMapAdvanced
I have been having trouble using this mod.
I followed the instructions im sure, i did it 4 times.
I keep getting an error message when i try to save the change to vgclient.ini file. Im not using any other mods.
the error message says: Cannot create the C/program files/sony/vanguard/bin/vgclient.ini. file
make sure the path and file name are correct.
All i did to the file was make default say InfoMapAdvanced. Like the instructions said. But am still unable to save that change. Any help is appreciated, im looking forward to using your hard work.THX

Soresha was correct. You are having a permission problem with Vista.
When you get to step 5 of the Install instructions in the readme file you should:
Instead of browsing to the vgclient.ini file, open Notepad first...
You need to open Notepad by right clicking it from the start menu and "Run as Administrator"
Then use the file menu within Notepad to find & open the vgclient.ini file.
Now you make the change in step 5: Change ShellName=Default to ShellName=InfoMapAdvanced Save the file over the old one.
I hope this helps,

i tried Right clicking the "Start logo" and i don't have Notepad...mine says Open as Notebook in OneNote
and i a complete noob when i try these things..i like need real detailed instructions..haha

Re: Re: InfoMapAdvanced
I've been wondering, if it would be possible to add another overlay for each continent like the harvesting ones.. just with location names and add another button to the controls to show/hide that layer.
I made a rough one for Thestra and could provide the TGA files for all continents if needed.
rough version

I use Drox and loaded the replaced the map folder under droxui but I still get the same standard map. Any idea how to get it work in Drox?
Thank you.

Well the community seems to still be waiting for a GU4 compatible version of Drox so I'd wait and see what comes out in the next few days. Someone will probably put out a version that contains InfoMap.

No ShellName line
My vgclient.ini file does not seem to have a ShellName line. I attempted to add it, but it seemed to have no effect. I even tried the /uiload command in game and it didn't seem to help. I've also deleted the ini file and restarted, then added the line and nothing seems to work. Any advice?

Re: Re: same prob as Fulo
today,i found if i don't use Full Screen Mode,it don't work. so,maybe is this UI must be in Full Screen Mode?
I always play windowed myself so it's not that. It's more likely the game isn't finding the map images for some reason.
A small number of people have reported "black map syndome", but unfortunately neither myself nor Nadger have been able to duplicate the problem which makes solving it a little tricky. All I can suggest for now is removing the mod, doing a full scan, getting a fresh download and trying again.
If anyone does find a solution (or even the cause of it), please share!

Erm, that's like a Windows error if you can't save the file. Is it a Vista permissions problem? Or are you trying to edit the file whilst the game is running? I wouldn't attempt that!
Can't think of any other ideas atm.
