    Default Stuck

    Help please...

    I originally installed eq in the following directory then downloaded and extracted maps inside...

    program files/everquest/maps

    Well, it didn't work. Then i figured that maybe eq was looking for maps in the...

    program files/sony/everquest/maps

    so i moved the everquest directory into the path above, downloaded and extracted the maps there... still no maps. So I left a copy of all the maps in both the first location AND the second location... neither of which seems to work.

    I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

    I assume you have a shortcut to EQ on your desktop.

    If you right click that shortcut, it should tell you the path to the Everquest install you are using, i.e. c:\program files\sony\everquest\everquest.exe .

    You would go to that Everquest directory and open the map folders. You will download and unzip the map files to that directory.

    Hope that helps.

    Default No maps, no luck.

    Yes, i checked that. It is pointing to the

    c:\program files\sony\everquest

    directory... and my maps were extracted to the maps directory in that location. still no luck.

    Any other suggestions?

    Could be a permissions issue. Take full control of the sony folder and all subfolders.

    Same problem here. I extracted the maps into every EQ folder i could think of and still nothing. I remember having a lot of trouble when TBS came out. I kept messing with them and finally got them to work. Not having that luck this time around though.

    I use Vista and I am the administrator. As I stated already, I had several problems when TBS came out but was eventually able to get them to work. I remember having to extract them into a file somewhere and then copy them into the correct folder. I tried that this time but then I still get a blank screen on my map when I log into EQ.

    Frustrated and Lost

    Don't know if this will help, but this was someone else's way to fix it in Vista.

Anyway im not sure if this is your problem but i noticed i run everquest out of C:\Users\(your username)\Everquest.exe - so the way i fixed that was i extracted maps into C:\Users\(your username)\maps , im not sure if this will fix your problem but its worth a shot, maybe vista is wierd i dunno it fixed mine though i hope this helps you, let me know if it fixed your problem, thanks

    OK I got the maps to work last night. I did everything the same way and it worked this time. The only things different were that my PC had rebooted for some MS updates and I downloaded the 11/14 maps. I saved the zip file to my desktop. Then extracted them to a new folder on my desktop. Then I copied them into my EQ folder and my EQ Maps folder. I logged in and there they were. Honestly I have no clue why or how they started working but I am no longer lost.
