Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Oct 28)
Sorry Odessa, I know I'm a total noob. I am not sure which version of DirectSurface I have. I am trying to download the zip off page one of this thread and it is just hanging. I reloaded v1.4 of a_troll's last build and then restarted /plugin dsurface and /plugin mq2radar. They both show they load but I get a message saying I need DirectSurface 0.103 to run radar. There is also a DirectSurface.exe file in the MQ directory. Tried running that as well. Hitting F11 seems to just pull up the standard HUD. Help me Obiwan, you're my only hope.
Is there a sequence to load DirectSurface, then radar? Can you please give me a radar for dummies post? Tyvvm in advance. Looks like a great tool if I could get it up.

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Oct 28)
You have to have the one (DSurface0.111) from the link, anything else won't work. Once you download it unzip it anywhere you want and run dsurface.exe (it's not a plugin, it has nothing to do with eq/mq really). Copy dll to your mq folder. In game just do /radar mq2radar. If that doesn't work you missed some step.
That's very funny

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Oct 28)
downloaded DSurface0.111 - check
copied the files .dll, .ini and the .exe into the eq macroquest folder - check
started dsurface.exe (icon up on comp next to the mq icon) - check
did /plugin dsurface - plugin dsurface loaded - check
did /plugin mq2radar - Plugin mq2radar loaded - check
did /radar - message: Couldn't parse '/radar'
did /radar mq2radar - message: Couldn't parse '/radar mq2radar'
pressed f11 - brings up normal HUD
I can't see how I am missing anything but who knows. Above is the step by step. The program Dsurface.exe runs and has an icon in my system tray. The plugins, Dsurface and then mq2radar both load seemingly fine. This is more a challenge to figure it out at this point although I do think it would be useful. Step by step can you see anything I missed?

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Oct 28)
face it i am a ID10T
I have .net framework installed I also use the lavish software, and it requires .net framework. when i reloaded the .net 2.0 i get commands and it shows it loads but no radar. i have a custom hud will that effect it? and f11 is showing hud but not the radar.odessa said:for the 25th time, install .net framework

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Oct 28)
Hmm, that's really odd. So you can do /radar options and see the list of options but radar does not show up at all?
Not sure what to tell you.

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Oct 28)
I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome plugin. This thing is very, very nice! I have a smaller custom Map that I used as a sort of radar. Your radar is a much better solution.
Seeing heading due to the triangles is much better than MQ2Map, and clicking through the radar is great! Best thing is being able to resize on the fly!! Awesome work on this one Odessa.

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Dec 5)
I've got the exact same problem as Tagger does.
/plugin MQ2Radar
F11 will show the HUD (or hide depending on previous setting) but no Radar.
It also says it injected into eqgame.exe with a number I assume is eqgame's process id.

/radar - Gives a lot of radar option spam (as it should).

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Dec 5)
Ok for some reason I am missing the arrows and everything else, all I can see is the map and the names. No circular border or anything else. Got it as it was with the latest RedQuest build, tried using the DirectSurface directly from your site but no change there either. Any ideas?
Addendum: Also I do have .net framework installed and there are no errors visible. All DLLs and everything are in the right place as far as I can tell. Only running MQ2 and DS that's it.
Subsequent Addendum: Fixed it. Downloaded the copy from your forum and noticed there was about a 300k filesize differents. That accounted for the lack of graphics. Note that the copy included with RedQuest is A) out of date or B) sans perdy graphics.

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Dec 27)
Just got this going tonight, and I love it. The only problem that I ran into was the fact the the newest copy of DSurface (0.127) is now linked in the original post, but it seems that MQ2Radar isn't compatible with this version. When I tried to plugin MQ2Radar with DSurface 0.127 running, I got an error that MQ2Radar is only compatible with DSurface 0.110 or older. I was get DSurface 0.111 by manually changing the link to the newest zipfile to http://www.om-tech.net/odessa/dsurface/DSurface0.111.zip, but it might make sense to keep version 0.111 linked on this thread until MQ2Radar becomes compatible with version 0.127.
PS - RC to you for this one (wish I could give more than just 1 per thread, lol). Just getting started with it, and already loving it way more than my old map.

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Dec 27)
Awesome plugin...works great.
Excellent for kiting.
I set radar view at 1900 so it takes up the full screen and then set the OTD at the center over top of char triangle. That way I have distance and direction in center view.
A casting radius circle would complete this.
Great work.

Re: MQ2Radar (UPDATE Dec 27)
Has there been any new compiles of this plugin? To me this is the greatest thing I've found for MQ2, following assist on raids with multiple incoming targets has never been easier, and knowing if mobs are approaching while soloing is very nice as well.
The .dll that is the in the redguides compile seems to be very different from the .dll from this thread. The one he has is only 112kb, while this one is over 400kb. When i've tried to use the one in the redguides compile, I only get the basic lines of the map drawn on my screen and nothing else. No frame around it, no pc/npc/anything showing up on the map.
When version 4.xx was up and running, I just downloaded the MQ2Radar from here and that worked fine. Now that crashes my EQ client when I attempt it with the compile listed on page1 (as of 1-22-07) due to a change in the structs. Any chance of an update here?
