[MilanderTruewield]

Just curious, are you still using Telin's spell particles in the new patches? I downloaded his about a months and a half ago, and the ones in this patch are much more dense.

Just wondering, if you aren't, I'll go get them again from his thread :)

[twgmot]

Thanks!

[Nocsucow]

Good shit Rogdawg , Nildawg , Haydawg, Aludawg

[Lanzellot]

thx for the work

[Marrx]

Hello, it seems as though shared bank slots have been removed. What happens to any items or containers we had stored in those slots? Are they gone for good now?

[Thulack]

Hello, it seems as though shared bank slots have been removed. What happens to any items or containers we had stored in those slots? Are they gone for good now?

Shared bank slots were never in the game if you saw shared banks its because your UI was buggy and your weren't suppose to. The stuff that was in them in gone forever if i remember correctly from someone else posting about this months ago.

[khanable]

I see stones and coffins got a price bump, did sky keys as well..?

[Thulack]

I see stones and coffins got a price bump, did sky keys as well..?

yes. 528 for key of swords and 264 for misplaced according to Key master atm.

[Lifelover]

I Installed the v.33 patch now i am getting a error on my char select page about my spell list not being up to date? Can anyone assist

[Thulack]

I Installed the v.33 patch now i am getting a error on my char select page about my spell list not being up to date? Can anyone assist

Did you get a overwrite message after you extracted the files?

[Lifelover]

Yes and I Did

[Caloosadesign]

Im having the same problem Lifelover. All my toons are gone and I get a spell error. I downloaded patch and extracted it into the correct files.

[dbouya]

is the change to light blue cons purely cosmetic? or does this change experience too? was light blue as a consider color never classic in the first place?

[Caloosadesign]

Ok I got the patch to work. I had to download the original files and the extract the patch into it. Make sure you don't over write the entire folder when you extract the patch Lifelover.

[Thulack]

is the change to light blue cons purely cosmetic? or does this change experience too? was light blue as a consider color never classic in the first place?

Yes there was no light blue con in classic everquest. Green con mobs should not give xp either.

[RollingDwarfPally]

Just checking, but you extract to your p1999 directory, not the eq titanium directory, right?

[r0xx0r]

I could of swore there was a light blue before- it just never had gray, the range of green on here was just to large. so light blue should still be in game, no?

[dbouya]

yeah i'm pretty sure that light blue style experience gains were classic... they just were part of the color green? then later on devs thought it was confusing some green kills gave experience and some didn't? so they invented light blue?

or am I remembering that wrong?


edit: someone in game explained it to me... this is a client ui change... and the server exps aren't changed, whew, i was afraid this was gonna be a big nerf to exp gain in non-perfect camps.

[skorge]

going from having the con color on the target box to not having it is a HUGE shift to me, im surprised nobody else has said anything yet about this, lol...yea i know its classic but wow, why did it take five years to make this change?

[Tankdan]

No target con color is pretty lame after years of being accustomed to it.


[B]Alunova: More FTE shouts will now be zone wide. If I have missed any please post a bug report.

Thank you.

[Isic]

What prompted this change?

Nilbog: lesser spirits for the shaman epic quest require indifferent or better faction. They no longer immediately depop upon giving a gem, but shortly after.

[khanable]

yes. 528 for key of swords and 264 for misplaced according to Key master atm.

hot damn

[evilkorn]

What prompted this change?

Removed the con color from the target window.

DAMNIT

[Estu]

I feel like a moron now but I must be the only one who never realized the con color was in the target window in the first place :p

[Juevento]

Every patch makes me want to quit just a little more...

Rogue hide still not fixed and removing the con color box feels spiteful.

No target con color is pretty lame after years of being accustomed to it.

[raistlinmejere]

I downloaded and extracted the files EXACTLY as the patch notes indicate I should. Yet now when I log on I have ZERO characters and it says my "spell files" are out of date. SO WTF DID I JUST DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT?!?!?!?! So i read the forums looking for answers. There is none. Only a vague "dont overwrite" ALL the files when extracting. So lemme get this straight, theres a patch but Im not supposed to overwrite old files with updated files??? Whats the point of the patch then? To screw players from logging on, and make them search for non-existent answers on WHY the patch is f**ked. I have no clue what to do and there are ZERO instructions other then "download and extract to...." which I did and guess what? NOW I CANT LOG IN. Excellent instructions.
So now what EXACTLY is it that Im ACUALLY supposed to do in order to patch the game "correctly" so that I can play?

[Gaffin 7.0]

download zip, make a new folder on desktop, put files in it, organize > select all > then copy them

go to your eqemu folder top left tab > organize then paste, replace all it ask to.

let me know if it works, it should

[Szekk]

One thing that happened to me is in my rush to get back online, I hit the "Quick Connect" button and was logged into a different server than Project 1999 where I had no characters and the spell files were not valid. I backed out, and manually selected the correct server and logged in and all was well. This is something you may want to double check.

[Telin]

Just curious, are you still using Telin's spell particles in the new patches? I downloaded his about a months and a half ago, and the ones in this patch are much more dense.

Just wondering, if you aren't, I'll go get them again from his thread :)

I'm not sure if it was updated or not myself. If not, I would highly suggest getting then from the server chat thread. Not only are they more classic, but they perform better with many effects like fire. They also center all effects that were misaligned with the character.

[Taminy]

Yes there was no light blue con in classic everquest. Green con mobs should not give xp either.

High greens gave xp at least if soloing. I remember doing that on my warrior when I was bored.

[phobus]

I feel like a moron now but I must be the only one who never realized the con color was in the target window in the first place :p

The UI I'm using doesn't have it. All you kids who've been using that as a crutch can get off my lawn. :)

[Grimjaw]

lol seeing as much tears over that con color in target window as I am about the maps being removed. shits classic. deal with it

[Nuktari]

When are yall removing item links? That shit aint classic.

[Gustoo]

I just feel bad for new players with these nerfs.

And still wondering why blue 99 is able to duck to cancel spell and red still cant?

This change would take 10 seconds to implement.

[no chewie dont]

velious ui doesnt have con color in target window anyway pras

[mwatt]

Thank you Kanras and Nilbog.

I wonder, does anyone know when LB goes back into the game? Velious, hopefully? (that fix, though classic, kinda bugs).

We have changed the way the /consider command works and expanded the level range at which players are able to gain experience. We have added a 'light blue' area between green and blue. NPCs that used to /consider green but gave experience will now /consider light blue, as well as NPCs of slightly lower level than those greens. You will always get experience for something that is light blue. You will not receive experience for greens. At the same time, by including lower level NPCs in the light blue /consider, we have increased the range of lower level NPCs that will grant experience. This will be most noticeable for characters of higher level.

I did the same on my user account and it doesnt work. I tried to delete the files, then copy them. It's not working. I extracted them in a folder and copied / replaced them, it's not working.

Anyone else having issues with outdated spell files on a non-admin session of Windows 7?

pls no

Haynar: Fixes for AC being low.

Please elaborate?

[Haynar]

On AC changes. Below level 50, worn armor will help more. There were a few other tweaks when you had low ac, that caused you not to get hit max by high level mobs too. So if ur naked, it will be more severe of a beating.

I extracted files organized-copied-placed in folder-organized-copied-pasted to my sony file-clicked copy to all questions and still getting need spell update


checked and files in sony folder show the date of modifcation is today date

[Grimjaw]

do the extract as admin, right click, run-as admin.

certain files get blocked during the extract, if not done as admin.


the more people on win7 these days the more this problem gonna pop-up.

goddamn Microsoft and their UAC "extra step, for safety.." well guess what Microsoft.... users are going to get accustomed to clicking "OK" every time it pops up anyway. obstruction is not security Microsoft!!!!

Thanks for the good work.

I miss seeing Light blue cons on my track though. Was fun to see Seb ent mob con Green now...

One of the reasons I install my games on an alternate drive and change the security of the Games folder to give my user account full access. You never have to worry about running things as an admin.

[Alluveal]

I still can't get mine to work. (I have Windows 7)

Opened 7-zip (as admin)
Extracted into a separate folder.
Went to folder, copied all / pasted all into EQ Titanium folder (as directed).
Clicked, "Yes" when it asked me if I wanted to do this (or needed admin permission).
Clicked "Yes" to overwrite files and folders.
Finished.

Still getting the "Your spells file is outdated" error.

Happened on my account and a family member's account.

[Trebeh]

Right click where to run extract as admin.?
Couldnt find when i right clicked extract

[Savok]

The tracking window in the default UI has to be fixed so that rangers can no longer track Light Blue.

Haynar: Removed the con color from the target window.

Nooooooooooo =( It might not be classic but we had it and it wasn't such a big deal. Why change it now?

[NegaStoat]

Thank you very much for all your hard work in this patch. The server staff rains down blessings on the unworthy.

Downloaded the RAR file, unpacked, and carefully replaced the files in my game install folder each in turn. If I had done a straight replace of the UI folder, I would have lost my Velious UI so I was glad I inspected the folder contents when deciding what to move over / replace.

In game now, stuff is working fine.

[Ele]

Nooooooooooo =( It might not be classic but we had it and it wasn't such a big deal. Why change it now?

We march ever forward striving for that classic feels.

[Valdarious]

The only reason I can see that some people are having some issues is maybe once the files were put into place, they might be in a read only state. I was getting the spells error also. I went into the security of the folder of EQ and reinstated full control permissions on the entire folder and only then did it finally work.

[Jereel]

We march ever forward striving for that classic feels.
The 'classic feel' was playing something new, that hadn't been done before. Taking away small convenience features doesn't make it feel more classic. just makes it feel older.

Got to be something simple that I am not doing. Tried on 2 computers that i run eq on and having same problem with both. So I know it is something I am missing.

[Alluveal]

FIXED! I am in.

1. I uninstalled Titanium. (I had it installed in a "Program Files" folder, which I'm now learning was a mistake.)
2. Reinstalled the game in a new folder. I made C:\EQ
3. Followed instructions on "Setup Page" here on p1999. (Deleted the arena, nek, lava files listed).
4. Downloaded new patch.
5. Extracted patch into its own folder under "MyDocuments"
6. Copied files over. (Note, I did not copy whole FOLDERS over. I just copied the main files, then went into each sub folder, copied those files and pasted them into the game subfolders. Hope that makes sense.)

It works now. Reposting this on the other thread too. Hope that is okay.

*Thank you, Nilbog :D

Can anyone confirm?

[maakur]

going from having the con color on the target box to not having it is a HUGE shift to me, im surprised nobody else has said anything yet about this, lol...yea i know its classic but wow, why did it take five years to make this change?
When are yall removing item links? That shit aint classic.

I too miss the con colors in the targeting window. And yes, it's true - this wasn't classic, but for all the people frothing with "anything not classic should go!" I can't help thinking it's a bit like certain Supreme Court Justices who insist that -- ridiculous though the result may be -- we should never expand the scope of the constitution in a manner that's plainly better for everyone and not incompatible with its general thrust.

"Everything classic because that's the era!" is somewhat like saying we shouldn't IRL have any rules or principles regarding cars or antibiotics because the country's founding fathers couldn't have imagined modern automobiles and medicine.

[Gustoo]

Yes. Im 100% for full classic, I wish UI could be forced...but the double standards / inconsistencies arent justified. Why does blue have duck to interrupt and red still does not? Is red even supposed to be classic like? So many custom features and then some nerfs come along to make game play harder for newer players.

I'll confess to feeling these exact same emotions at times. But then I remember that some "big" things that need changing either can't be changed or are very hard to change, or there is insufficient information with which to make a change. Whereas some "little" things that get changed instead of "big" things may be relatively easy to accomplish. These folks don't have unlimited time on their hands, so they get done what they can. After all, they don't get paid much. :)

Don't overwrite the folder. Open folder and copy paste new items in. I backed up all files prior. Then I overwrote the resources folder and not the others.

Not ur fault bro; trust me we all appreciate your (and everyone else's) hard work going into getting P99 feeling "classic."

I guess we have gotten spoiled with certain "non-classic" mechanics such as in-game item links and the con color on the target bar. At this point into the project, we, the community, assumed that these would be left alone, since P99 debuted in 2009.

I think to soften BIG changes like this in the future you should give some fair warning. Especially if you plan on removing in-game item links. Even though I'm upset about the removal of the color con on the target bar, I can deal with that.

[OriginalQin]

The changes to LB con are pretty ridiculous. There are some very minor cosmetic things like this that make the game more enjoyable and were an oversight on the original dev team's part. It doesn't make sense to change it after so many years.

Speaking of so many years, is it classic to have Kunark for year after year? No. Okay, so not classic timeline, not classic. Obviously you make do with some things. How on earth is it more enjoyable to have less information about what you're fighting?

Anyway, sorry for bitching. I just get annoyed at these little "nerfs" that don't improve anything. Thanks for the badass server nonetheless.

[OriginalQin]

I am getting motivated to see what else I can work on that will be unpopular.

If it is so unpopular, why do it? I don't understand. This idea of "classic" is worn so thin at this point. There are a lot of things that aren't classic, and classic had a lot of bugs and oversights that needed to be fixed to improve playability. Remove maps and compass? Fine. Just a little annoying, but that's it. But you start doing things that make it harder to exp, harder for people to group, harder to play the game -- when these things were just silly oversights to begin with, as acknowledged by the fact that they were patched -- I just don't see the point. How on earth does it help the server to remove LFG search functions or LB exp cons, just because it wasn't "classic"? It's just too over the top and does not improve enjoyment one bit.

A lot of this stuff is really badly designed in the original EQ, true, and we still played the game, yes. But it was all fixed within a year or two. This server has been in Kunark for how long?

Everything you are saying sounds reasonable. However, it is just your opinion. Others may have the opinion that when you allow differences from Classic you step on a slippery slope. Pretty soon, allowing little improvements and deviations here and there, it would be easy enough to have a server that was not so classic at all. IMO it is better to err on the side of Classic. One person's utter annoyance is another person's appreciated feature.

Bottom line is, it is the dev's opinion that matters and we are here on sufferance. It is very important to remember not to let a feeling of entitlement creep in. We are entitled to NOTHING. But we are lucky, because this is the best game around. We owe these guys. Not everything they do is going to be pleasing and you can't please all of the people all of the time anyway. It's ok to express opinions but never look this gift horse in the mouth.

I admit I started playing during Velious era, but they definitely did not run the speed they are now when i quaded them during Velious on live. Was this something put in to match Kunark Era? Did Sony slow them down during Velious? Or was this just a byproduct of some other change in the code?

Still doesnt work after the steps described.

[Glenzig]

I did have one question about this patch. Maybe I missed it in the patch notes, but the run speed of certain mobs has drastically increased. It seems like most cats and birds are much faster since the patch. All I was wondering is if this was an I tended change that we will have to permanently adjust to, or if it is an unintended side effect of something that got implemented with this patch.

Thank you for your continued hard work.

[Quiet]

Also appears they removed Skin Like Nature from Rangers, and nerfed their DS.

[LulzSect]

But that's not what the classic UI was. This was it if you pressed F10:

I'm not sure why everyone thinks you could only use this:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-17Y8ZOKquok/TVtyzVXJjpI/AAAAAAAADB0/RLGcEbkoHvY/s640/EQUI.jpg

When you could also use the first one since launch.

That transparent UI was the shit back in the day.

[Kalanmyr]

Did druids get the nerf bat? Breath of Ro seems to do less damage, root resists more frequently and breaks more often and the level 54 wolf form is no longer the cool looking black model I had just gotten used to.

Edit - Breath of Ro appears to cost 250 mana for less damage compared to the 225 mana it originally was...


Can anyone confirm?

Breath of Ro appears to have been nerfed I noticed as well, despite it not being in the patch notes. Went from 103 dmg per tick to 92 dmg per tick. Didn't check mana cost.

Check permissions and read only access to all files in your EQ folder.

[Rivthis]

Why are you forcing us to not be able to use Luclin graphics? If we want to enable them, WHO CARES?!


I use Luclin graphics, patched the game and had to go back to my globalload file and change everything back the way it was before the patch and that fixed it. ;)

Didn't have to edit my eq ini file though, nothing was changed there.

[Valdarious]

Where do i do that? not computer savoy

[mwatt]

I have more tweaks in mind for AC. But currently working charm resists, chanter/shm/mage npc debuff ai, npc's charming pets, some pathing issues when target changes, a few mob speed tweaks, adding doors to los code checks.

H

Thanks for the feedback Haynar. Those things you are working on now sound quite worthy. Any AC issue - assuming there is one - is not a major one, from what I personally have seen so far. My overall impression is that I am getting damaged a little faster than I was, but it is not crippling.

[psway]

I for one am happy with the AC changes!!!

[Ladytron]

I however am not so happy, still unable to get thru to char select without getting spell list errors damned thing

[Ecclesiastique]

Why did I do the con color and target window changes?

They were on the master wish list to be more "classic". And I thought it would be fun to learn something new and figure out how to do. Thats how i have fun. Pretty sick huh? I am not the best or fastest coder. But I do try hard to get it right.

More fun to come.

H

*CRY* I appreciate the hard work for fixing everything.
But I am so missing my con on the target window so very much!

Excuse me while I go sulk now :P

[tacomagradd]

I appreciate the work but I really wish you had left the target con color alone. Making the game much clunkier in the name of "purity" that cannot be reached due to things like item links, etc, is a mistake. You still have to /con to see how the mob feels about you, so I don't see why this is necessary.

For some people who don't really have much time, these changes are really inconvenient.

[Valdarious]

Heh, I was mostly just responding the ever present "Because Classic" crying. Yes, the colored con is a little inconvenient but I can work around it. I will say that I don't think it needed to be removed though.
I like P99 because of the era that the devs have decided upon not necessarily the classic problems that plagued classic EQ. Even though it was plagued, it is still one of the best games I had played and that is why I came back here.
So I have decided to respond in the same manner when ever I see someone cry out the "because classic" argument. Those people seem to think it is cool also.

wait until you cannot cancel a spell mid-cast and have to wait for it to finish its timer!

[Clark]

Resists are horribly broken from this patch. On tashed mobs my 60 Enchanter is getting Charm Resists, Mez Resists, and early root breaks. Unheard of.

Also my 55 Shaman when using malo line is getting many more early root breaks. Root should last full duration if malo line is on mob especially :( Help please.

[feanan]

I'm still getting exp on light blue mobs that are now green

[helcahisie]

So, basically, you were automatically rooted while you were casting? I didn't know. I thought it was always possible to move during casting to cancel the spell.

[helcahisie]

"waaaaah now not only do i have to target the mob, but i have to press the c button! bullshit!"

Seriously, while I do know that some people like the changes(and some people don't), I don't understand this kind of an attitude toward people who have different opinions. Why do you have to make fun of them just because they happen to disagree?

[pharmakos]

from what i understand this is working as intended. elimination of light blue is just a cosmetic change. some old light blue mobs are green now, other old light blue mobs are dark blue now. all should still give exp.

So, basically, you were automatically rooted while you were casting? I didn't know. I thought it was always possible to move during casting to cancel the spell.

you can move, and the cast will be interrupted, but the bar will stay on the screen and will need to finish filling up before you can cast another spell / attack / use an ability / etc

This was the method I always used(probably from my own 14 year old memories), so I didn't even know there was a way to cancel the spellcasting altogether and didn't understand the ducking discussion. Seems 14 year olds can remember better than I thought :P

[feanan]

oh, thanks pharm. I thought they meant LB were now green and gave no exp. Not that I care, since I don't make a habit of hunting LB's, I just was surprised when i got exp :)

[Scrubosaur]

Questions on green cons now - the way it was before :
Dark blue = full exp
Light blue = 50% the exp of a dark blue
Green (that gave exp) = 25% of the exp of a dark blue

So now that there are no light blue mobs does that mean all those in that level range are at the 25% exp amount? If so that is a huge nerf to the exp grind.

Also resists against lower level mobs are all messed up. Greens are resisting lifetaps and root is breaking way too often vs green mobs.

The only thing that changed is the color the mob cons. All mobs that were of level to con light blue to you now con green but still give the same amount of XP as they always have.

[Kaym]

Resists were most definitely changed.

Level 48-50 mobs in Seb full resisting roots/bane of nifes and breaking roots early with malosini on. Never seen this happen EVER before the patch.

It's also seemed like weaker mobs have been getting full casts off as well. For instance, jins in Seb getting casts off on my 60 shaman with ~150 resist pretty frequently.

All anecdotal, but for what it's worth...

All this complaining about the con changes, and only one person mentions the horribly in accurate resist changes ? I am all for making the server more classic but stealth changes absent from the patch notes that dramatically affect the game play are pretty childish.

To expand on the quote above, green mobs are resisting paralyzing earth. Light blue mobs breaking after 3 second paralyzing earth.

Necro DOTs harder to land across the board, and spells such as engulfing darkness that have a 95% land rate or so are being resisted constantly to dark blue mobs.

See Snare's post on:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=355

He compares the MR effects on the darkness dot line which is completely accurate to how classic eq was during the kunark era.

I hate to criticize but I would like the game play to be classic instead of taking magic resist into a direction that is different from the original.

[Potus]

This patch broke the server. I'm having green mobs resist lifetap and even worse they're not missing at all in melee.

Way to go!

Maybe you could be more helpful and give specific examples instead of trivializing the amount of time the staff put into creating fixes and working out issues for this patch.

[Troxx]

Lots of folks here are unacceptably unappreciative of the work a volunteer staff does to keep a free emu up, running, and progressing (however slow that progression is).

There's an old adage about gift horses and mouths ...

[KnuckleSangwich]

No one is unappreciative here that I can see. Just because legitimate issues were introduced into the game with this last patch that are not classic at all and I ask for some clarity does not mean I'm unappreciative.

Get off your collective high horses and scroll back a page or two (or ten) and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Really need me to rehash the last 20 pages of issues highlighted both in text and screenshots?

I've remained pretty quiet about a lot of things on P99 that are trivial ultimately, but there are some clear issues here and I'm all I'm asking for is some guidance/clarity/feedback from the team.

Just because this is volunteer doesn't mean that no one can say or ask anything of the staff. Besides that fact, I've monetarily donated and brought countless players to the community over the years. And the community makes the game.

I helped push for the con color change FYI. We all knew about it. It's high fives and cheers throughout the development team whenever one of us finds a way to restore or correct a classic feature.

I've also spent an entire day making gnomes path in circles. Completely inefficient and a waste of time that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Really couldn't ask for a better Dev team, if the people complaining knew 1/2 the work it went into this server they would calm down and trust you guys to fix it.

I am having difficulty understanding how shamans are expected to begin their epics now if the first mob refuses to interact with them.

[Daldaen]

Find a chanter or bard friend to charm it and do it that way until indifferent.

[Uteunayr]

You don't get faction from quest turn ins on charmed mobs, just experience. If the lesser spirit counts as an animal, maybe the shaman has to charm it?

[Daldaen]

It is possible shamans should default at Indifferent upon creation though. But there is evidence from 2001 of some classes being apprehensive and having to charm.

You don't get faction from charming it. You get the quest piece. Which you then turn in to Bondl in NFP (without charming him) and get faction from that. The charming is only to get sufficient faction to get the quest piece.
