...Actually, I think I mostly just really detest the Luclin models, like, I get kind of mad when I think about them, those half-assed animations and incongruous, washed-out textures. SoL sucks so much that it sort of bothers me to think somebody may be looking at my character with that rubbish enabled. | |||

The easiest way would be to use Secrets of Faydwer, which in my experience has mostly the lack of Highpass Hold to recommend against it.
Others have had more difficulties with it, I gather. Each set of models has positives and negatives associated with it, in my opinion. In my dotage, I have really come to appreciate the animations of the classic models. Plus, they seem to be more aesthetically in synch with the zones themselves. Back when I played on live, I used the Luclin models exclusively once they were available. | ||

Just wanted to add a little info to anyone wanting to try this out. Wish there was a way to make High Pass work though. | |||

Agreed... Id love to play an Ogre or Troll if it weren't for the old graphics.

You'll have to get a fresh copy of uifiles/default, and it'll work at that point. Also, you shouldn't replace GlobalLoad.txt with the P99 copy either -- this is also designed for Titanium. You should, however, still be replacing the spells file and db strings file.

I really enjoy the Luclin graphics in Project 1999, something must be different about computers nowadays that can render the Luclin graphics more seamlessly than when it was released. I recall hating them. So kudos for this tutorial!!!
However, there are a few problems I have noticed. When retrieving item links from the database, the first 6 or so letters are shifted. So a "Chunk of Meat" is "of Meat". When you inspect someone the items are not displayed in the correct place, or at all. These are obviously both database issues. Know any workarounds? | ||

You need to fix your UI for use with SoF. There are a couple of posts with SoF compatible UI files in them. Note that you cannot install the UI files provided as part of the Project 1999 installation process or this will break the SoF client. This will solve the issue of seeing items in the wrong slots.
Unfortunately there is no way to fix the item link issue. At some point in the development of the EQ client, the method for processing links changed in order to include more information, such as augments. As a result, the SoF client expects a different type of information for links. The Titanium client does not send this, so you see part of the name missing as a result. People using Titanium will see your links preceded by 4-6 random garbage characters as their clients cannot properly decipher SoF links. Hope this helps.
