Top-Level objects

${Navigation.Active} - (Boolean) TRUE if moving to a destination.

EQNavigation - is a separate program that is used to generate the zone mesh files

EQNavigation GUI Usage - Build and Save a Zone Mesh

  1. Open EQNavigation.exe. Its included in the Redguides Compile and should be in your Macroquest2 folder where you update your files.
  2. The first time you open EQNavigation.exe it will ask you to locate your EverQuest and Macroquest2 folders.
  3. Click the 'Choose Zone...' button to open the zone list.
  4. Select a zone from the zone list to load the geometry.
  5. Modify the build settings accordingly.
  6. Click the 'Build' button once the zone has fully loaded.
  7. Click the 'Save' button once the zone has fully built.

Mesh Creation Configuration Notes:
  • The more complex the zone, the higher resolution you need to navigate.
  • Mesh creation process will take anywhere from seconds to an hour depending on your computer speed and resolution size of map.
  • Maps are saved to your /Your Mq2 Folder/MQ2Navigation folder you designated.
