I really didn't care much for the cartography window that came with LoY, and I thought, frankly, I can do better! So what started as trying to make some small asthetic improvements ended up begin an all day project and a complete overhaul. UPDATE (1 June '03): I've cleaned up the buttons so they weren't yellow on a light background. The button borders were also darkened so that the style matched the main border a bit more. Also the images are completely independant so they shouldn't intefere with any other mods. The compass was also removed from this mod.

I've updated the links on the first post so that they now point to the download section here at EQInterface since its there now. I'm also considering making a 'pocket-size' version of this map, that would roughly be be about 1/4 the size as this one. If anyone would be interested in this type of map, let me know! If no one is interested I just might make it anyway . . .

Description: The mod replaces the LoY cartography window and the compass.

This has me stumped, in that I don't see the compass anywhere in the screen shot. Bit more detail on what you mean, please?

I ended up modifying the compass because it shares the same TGA file as many of the map buttons.

You could save a lot of space by removing the scroll in/out and moving buttons (just make them size 0), and making the buttons appear smaller. I am definately looking forward to this!
