    Default downloading maps

    recently ive been going to some zones where i dont have maps for. So i deleted all my maps in the eq maps file and redownload all maps extracted etc same thing happened no maps for certain zones. Some that i recall are bertox off of oceangreen villiage and several others i cant recall atm. Ive talked with peeps ingame bout it and they are as stumped as i am, since it is always the same maps that dont work. I even looked to c if the maps were downloaded and they were. Ive restarted my computer and every other thing i could think of im doing a complete scan atm hoping that works. Any suggestions?

    This is because not every map that you have downloaded is full. I've notice that about several of the Crescent Reach maps...and I had issues with Nagafen's lair.

    What you may need to do is download "all maps"...place them in your EQ file. Just watch the size of the file that you are overwriting (if you are overwriting.) If the file is 0 KB, then you know it's giving you a blank page. If you are overwriting a file that was 0KB with something else...then you'll have a map.

    I have done that already...and now I'm downloading each section individually. I have found that the "SS" download had a few maps (to inlcude B. Moors) that were not on the "All Maps" section. Had to go to the "EQ" maps to get Naggy's Lair (soldungB) as well.

    The map names with a _2 are the POIs or Points of Interest. The POIs are various mobs, ground spawns, vendors and NPCs. Sometimes maps have no POIs marked on them, so yes, the files would be empty.

    I am still missing some maps. This is getting very annoying.
