Prerequisites

Download the ZIP Package:

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

Instructions for Windows Users

Locate the Script:

Open the folder where you extracted the ZIP package.
Find the file windows-minimap-install.bat.

Run the Script:

Double-click windows-minimap-install.bat to execute it.
A Command Prompt window will open, asking for your character's name.

Provide Your Character's Name:

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

Completion:

The script will:
 Navigate to the minimap folder.
 Delete the existing minimap file.
 Copy and rename the new minimap file to match your character's name.

A success message will confirm the process is complete.

Instructions for MacOS Users

Make the Script Executable:

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

Run the Script:

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

Provide Your Character's Name:

When prompted, enter your character's name exactly as it appears in the game.
Press Enter.

Completion:

The script will:
 Navigate to the minimap folder.
 Delete the existing minimap file.
 Copy and rename the new minimap file to match your character's name.
A success message will confirm the process is complete.

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.
