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.

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.

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?

Regarding "black maps" there's now a thread here:

thx for ur post.
there have 5 icons can make mark at the map. if i close these mark, i can see map when windows mode. open anyone of these mark, so dark.

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!

I'm having the same problem as Fulo (see his screenshot) but clearing the /bin/cache folder did not sort my problem..

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


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.

Really great UI ! thanks !

Are there any plans to make the maps scrollable? So we can see the map around ,say Halgarad, while we are in, say Southwatch, without having to zoom it out so far we lose all detail?

Hmm auto-update feature...

I'm sure it's possible. It's something a few other people have asked about, and I'd agree it would be a great feature to include.

However I don't think the time is right to work on an auto-updater just yet, because InfoMap is still in it's infancy and under fairly heavy development, just like the game itself is. The mod is still evolving, as are the data files it uses. It would be difficult to write any kind of auto-updater for the data files at this time, since it would require amending regularly to keep up with the changes to the mod.

If I'm correct EQ2MAP is a few years old now? It's a pretty mature and stable mod. Whereas we still have plenty of exciting ideas for features we'd like to build into InfoMap!
