Question - problem

[johnreb1969]

First, let me say that I am not tech savvy at all. I downloaded Very Vanilla and would like to progress to more. First things first. I updated it and tried to load EQ, but it crashed. I tried make a shortcut to patchme. Still it is not working. I am sure that I am not doing something right that would be easy to most. I have a read through the posts and don't find any that seem to apply. If someone has any idea that could point me to the post that likely applies to someone dumb to this kind of stuff?

Do you get a crash message window pop up?

Did you update both EQ and MQ2?

 

[johnreb1969]

I did update both. When I loaded EQ first, I did not get a pop up. If I loaded vanilla first I did get message pop up that said everquest has crashed, not macroquest. I will add that I am on Phinagel server if that matters.

It doesn't work on that server, as it states on the page here "Does not work on: "Truebox" servers, such as Corinav, Phinigel, Agnarr (other tools such as MySEQ are available) "

Ok. a guy in my guild sent me to this site. Ty for the reply.

If you subscribed purely for use on that server, if you ask nicely... they may refund you. PM Redbot and ask nicely

Just to make sure that I downloaded the correct thing, I am looking mainly for the map/tracking function. Is there something that does only that which will work on phinagel?

 

[Rooster]

in the link above... (other tools such as MySEQ are available) ... haven't used that in ...over a decade so i can't help with that at all though.

yes MySEQ will help with tracking and map stuff - it runs outside of the game and is very useful. I've used MySEQ for a very long time, well before I knew about MQ2 or Redguide and I wouldn't play EQ without it.

In fact, I am surprised other games haven't ADDED some feature that allows you to have a map hud on another monitor. I keep MySEQ on another monitor and frequently will be solely looking at that screen when pulling

OK ty much. I got all that going. it opens fine, but no mobs show on the map. Again I am sure its something easy, but Im not literate to that stuff. Ive gone through and clicked most everything un view tab still nothing. I select the map of the zone im in and map comes up but just shows map. no npc or pc. Any suggestions where I should start trouble shooting?

[johnreb1969]

Im checking that now.
