Technical requirements:

• MSCOMCTL.OCX: Microsoft Common Controls 6 (SP4). This file is not required by Windows, and may not be on all computers. It is however required by L.I.A.M.². To avoid the installation of this resource, save it directly to your L.I.A.M.² directory.
  

Error reported:
Error 399, Component 'mscomctl.ocx' or one of its depenencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

• SHDOCWV.DLL: This is a Windows resource that SHOULD be present on all of your computers. This file is required to run L.I.A.M.², but you do NOT have to install it to use it, just save it to your L.I.A.M.² directory, and it should work fine.
  
• It is uncertain whether the presence of those files can make L.I.A.M.² run properly under a Windows emulator on Mac or Linux.

L.I.A.M. stands for Leprichaun's InterActive Map. Written in Visual Basic, the program was designed by Kain McBride, the mortal player of †Leprichaun, shortly after DA:IM went retail. McBride believed that gamers should be able to have access to a free map so he designed a better map with more features. It used to be updated on a regular basis, and the most recent version is generously up-to-date, but there are a few Lairs and buildings that have yet to be added to the map.

A detailed description of the map and its features, as written on Leprichaun's site, reads as follows:

L.I.A.M.² is a fully interactive map of the city. Current features include:

• AutoLogin - automatic Login allows for single click vampire login. This feature requires you enter your vampire name and password into L.I.A.M.², by default it is disabled when entering a new vampire.
  
• AutoNav - Autonav means the minimap follows you around the city. There are two types of AutoNav available: standard and precognition. Precognition is much faster, but sometime over ridden by the standard setup. Standard Minimap: zoomable to 11x11, the minimap will be your guide through the city.
  
• Graphical Minimap - zoomable 9x9, this minimap gives a slightly different look at the city.
  
• Navigation Lines - drawing a line to the closest, second closest, or third closest bank / pub / transit.
  
• User Buildings - showing the locations of buildings & etc. on the map.
  
• Shopping List Generator - yes, a fully featured shopping list generator. Select your shop, your items, your level of charisma, and you're good to go...
  
• Full Featured Help - yup, a help file... mind you, it hasn't been updated in a long time... I plan to add an autoupdating help file in the future...
  
• Contact Leprichaun - report your bugs through email or yahoo messenger at the click of a button...
  
• Emoticon Tutorial - yup, nothin to do with vampires, but I figured most people here use yahoo messenger, might as well know the emoticons. Has a virtual chat window built into it to let you test them...
  
• Its FREE! - unlike DA:IM, L.I.A.M.² is absolutely free! though I do appreciate donations.
