No map. ?

[Zeppo]

Ok, haven't been using seq for about 3 years now.
Been out of game.
Using my 21 day trial from Sony now.
Got FC4.
Installed showeq 5.2.2.0

I run SEQ, and get the ShowEQ - Main box with the list of mobs and stuff when I log in, but no map ever pops up.
I looked back through, and it said it found the map, but nothing.

I will keep searchign for an answer, but if anyone has an idea off the top of their heads, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Z.

You probably didn't install any maps.

[Zeppo]

I knew you would say that.
I had to run out for some errands right as I posted that, and thought about that in the car.
I used the map.tar, and I have maps in the usr/local/bin/share/showeq/maps directory.
Isn't that where they are supposed to be?

SEQ sure has changed in the last few years.

Thanks!

Ok, here's the display of text I get:
Don't know why it is looking for unknown, because the thing seems to know I am in West Freeport.

I will keep fiddling with it.

Thanks!

there should be a .showeq/maps directory. Put them in there. The filters go in the .showeq/filters

It is probably /root/.showeq/maps

[Zeppo]

That was it.
Thank you!

[BlueAdept]

Glad to help. Enjoy.

They can live in two places. The search order determines which will get used first

$HOME/.showeq/maps
/usr/local/share/showeq/maps

So you could put them in the second folder and that would make them available to any user on the system using showeq.

What you pasted about SEQ looking for Map zone 'unknown' is because it doesn't know anything when it first launches and ALWAYS tries to load a map of that name. Once you zone it can pick up the zone name from the zone struct and then find the correct map.

Just for completeness sake on this thread, if you are using my RPMs, the default place it looks for maps is in ~/.showeq/maps and, in /usr/share/showeq/maps (NOT in /usr/local)

If you built from tarball and set something other than /usr/local/ as your build prefix, then it will be in your PREFIX/share/showeq/maps... of course, if you did that, then you likely are fully aware of where it would be. As far as I can tell, the ~/.showeq/maps is hardcoded and will work with any version you might build, regardless of where you set your prefix.
