Minimap Setup

Elderan Map Setup Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for Elderan players to set up their minimap files using the provided scripts. Both Windows and MacOS users can follow these steps.

Prerequisites

• Download the ZIP Package from here

ZIP package contains the following files:
windows-minimap-install.bat (Windows script)
macos-minimap-install.sh (MacOS script)
minimap.otmm (Minimap file)

• Unzip the Package:

Extract the contents of the ZIP package to a folder of your choice (e.g., C:\ElderanTools on Windows or ~/ElderanTools on MacOS).

Instructions for Windows Users

Enter your character's name exactly as it appears in the game.
Press Enter.

The script will:
 Navigate to the minimap folder.

Open the Terminal.
Navigate to the folder where you extracted the ZIP package (e.g., cd ~/ElderanTools).
Run the command:
 chmod +x macos-minimap-install.sh

Execute the script by typing:
./macos-minimap-install.sh

Troubleshooting

• Script Errors:

Ensure the scripts and minimap.otmm are in the same directory.
Verify the target directories (AppData on Windows or Library/Application Support on MacOS) exist.

• Permission Issues:

On Windows: Run the script as an administrator by right-clicking windows-minimap-install.bat and selecting "Run as Administrator."
On MacOS: Use sudo to run the script if necessary (e.g., sudo ./macos-minimap-install.sh).

• Minimap File Not Found:

Ensure minimap.otmm is present in the folder where the script is executed.

Notes

• Always exit the game completely (do not just log out) before running the script.
• The new minimap file will use underscores (_) instead of spaces in your character's name.
