Compass?

[Zeakus]

When was the compass added? Having to spam sense heading is just annoying!

[loramin]

It is annoying. Welcome to Project 1999, where both the content AND the UI stay the way they were in 1999-2003*!

* except when limited by the Tittanium client.

You can relieve some of the pain of sense heading by binding the hotkey to your left and right arrow keys (or whatever you use to turn).

Options->keys->hotbar

Set whatever hotbutton # you have sense heading on to also be pressed with whatever other key you want.

You can also add it to spell / ability macros via "/doability #", where # is where you set it on your ability menu.

[Heebo]

Buy one from Bubar ya dingus

[Ezalor]

to relieve this inconvenience, simply carry a rusty short sword around with you at all times.

dropping the sword on the ground will always point north.

you can then telegraph the direction you choose to travel in increments of 45 degrees angles.

you're welcome.

[Zeakus]

Lol, no i've bound my sense heading... I just can't get the damn compass to show up!

[Reeses_007]

Compass doesn't exist lol

Bind the ability to a movement key, it maxes fast tbh. That sword trick is neat though, never knew that Ez.

Ok maybe I'm not clear....

Log into live, screen shot UI, print out color copy, cut out compass window, tape to screen.

It isn't going to work on P99 no matter how many button you press.

I was in East Freeport the other day and someone in /ooc asked "where is the soulbinder in freeport?".

He took the bad news a lot better than this guy ....

[Zeakus]

I remember seeing the compass being part of EQ since Kunark. I was just shocked that it was disabled for Project 1999. No one has been able to tell me why. I'm starting to get the impression that there are portions of p99 community that are as bad as League of Legends lol. I'd hate to see the end game raiding if this is the responses to a player asking why compass is disabled.

P.S. I did raid back in EQ from 2000-2003 on the Xev Server for Harmonium.

[Thulack]

The compass was not introduced til later on. It was here on p99 for first 3 years til they were able to remove it from the client. So your "remembering" is off. The search function is also your friend if you want to find answers.

[JackFlash]

Learn 2 EQ and search forums. You remembered wrong.

[Ele]

Compass was added in August 2002, beyond the scope of the server.

New Interface Window: The Compass! Press Alt-D to activate it. The higher your Sense Heading skill is, the more responsive and accurate the compass is.

It was in P99 for several years since it was part of the UI. The Devs in the last couple of years have been able to tweak the client side files and disable non-classic UI elements such as the compass and map. Hopefully, they will be able to limit the number of hotkeys and chat windows in future patches.

[Zeakus]

That can't possibly be right... but I remembered... I think... maybe... well....

Hit up Bubar in the EC Tunnel and grab yourself a compass (http://wiki.project1999.com/Compass). You'll feel better in the morning.

[Zeakus]

NO... RAGE QUIT!!!!

This is the kind of shit that I love about eq. I had completely forgot this trick.

It's not what you asked but how you asked it. it was clear that it wasn't available from the inital responses (reading comprehension ftw) and several people tried to help you work around it but you insisted on some nerd rage because people didn't answer the question exactly the way you wanted it answered. Then you started calling names.

Let me guess, you're a Millenial, arent you.

If I had my way, yeah (before my classhole comrades find this post, yes you could switch to full screen)...

Does the cloud trick work here? I swear I tried that when I was first starting, remembering the clouds always went west to east but I still kept getting lost. Though maybe a sky setting I have turned on/off.

[nilbog]

Yep. People didn't read the manual that came with the game I guess.

probs not because skies right now arent classic

Telin is working on restoring classic skies, so if it's not working now it should soon

[Telin]

The clouds currently move south to north. Sun sets at 5pm in west as moon rises in east. Same as 5am except in reverse. That'll help you
