Question - Map not showing anything

My map just suddenly stopped working on 1 toon in my bot team. I can no longer see pc/npc etc on the map.

Anyone have any ideas? I reinstalled MQ and still having the same issue on one toon only. The others its working fine, can toggle on/off named, npc etc.

Thanks
 
/mapf npc
/mapf pc
/mapf npcconcolor
/mapf target
/mapf targetline

I think those are the basic ones.
 
Thanks for the response. I've tried toggling them hide/show and still nothing is showing. The only thing that has any impact on the map is /mapfilter normallabels.

Is there a plugin I disabled somehow maybe?
 
/mapfilter custom

^ Will clear any custom filters you may have used at one point which may be stopping your map from working.
 
Bump -

Still having issues with the map. I tried all of the above. When I run /macro map as Maskoi mentioned I get the following:

[MQ2]Checking if MQ2Map is even loaded
Option 'ground' color set to 255 0 255
[MQ2] Mapfilter is now set properly
The current macro has ended

No matter how many times I enter I always get the same. Is it a problem with the macro? The weird thing is I can still enter /tar in the window and this works fine, kissassists works fine. I just cant seem to get NPCS or Named to show up on the map.
 
do /mapf and see whats loaded

normallabels is one of them that should be set to show
if named is set to show, it wont show every other npc

can also do /mapf all and it will set everything to show
 
In your root MQ2 folder delete your mq2map.ini file.
then /mac map see if that fixes it.
 
Thanks alot everyone for your responses. I just deleted the .ini files and reloaded. Still not working.

Very frustrating as the one character that the map ISNT working for is my puller. All the other toon' maps work as usual - can toggle on/off to show/hide npcs,pcs.

I'm getting close to re-installing Everquest all together..
 
do you have the labels on? i've found you need base, 1 2 3 all to be on in order to see the map correctly. I had that issue recently.
 
put this in your mq2map.ini file

[Map Filters]
NPC=1
PC=1
Target=1
NPCConColor=1
Chest=1
Trap=1
Ground=1
Trigger=1
Pet=1
All=1
TargetLine=1
PCConColor=1
Corpse=1
NormalLabels=1
Group=1
Menu=1
Timer=1
Untargetable=1
Mount=0
Banner=0
PCCorpse=1
Object=1
NPCCorpse=1
Mercenary=1
 
i had an issue similar - i just had to redownload mq2 and recompile and all worked well. Just save your INIs and custom macros to another folder so you can move it back after recompile
 
/mac map
/mapfilter custom

I find using those two will fix most map problems dealing with bad configuration. The custom one particularly since I use custom to find where things are on the map from time to time and it does not get reset by /mac map.
