Troubleshooting

• Script Errors:

Ensure the scripts and minimap_file.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_file.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.
