Patch Notes: Sunday, February 10th, 2019

[Rogean]

Hello Adventurers!

First off, I would like to apologize for the delay in getting this patch out to you. There were a number of systems that were receiving an overhaul, many of which interdepended on one another. With some of this incompleted and real life schedules getting in the way, and due to the growing size of the pending changes, we decided to take a step back and split the patch up.

The latest patch contains new required files. Download and extract the Project 1999 Files (V46) (http://www.project1999.com/files/P99Files46.zip) to your EQ Titanium Directory.

October 2001
The Broods of Di'zok have fortified their ranks. Chardok is more dangerous than ever, but those who adventure there may be greatly rewarded.

Code

Rogean: Netcode changes to throttle rates. This will result in faster loading times and possibly help (or make worse, we'll see) any desync.
Haynar: Fixed skill cap mods so they are loaded correctly when zones start up.
Haynar: Updated structs to support /who all LFG.
Haynar: Fixed an issue with CoH not clearing aggro when it should.

Haynar: NPCs should be able to see what is in the water better now.

Haynar: Updated NPC pathing behavior so mobs can reach their destination easier.
Haynar: Capped non-damage hate component for out of class procs/clickies to 400 hate.
Haynar: Added combat flee stuns. A mob hitting a player from behind who is running away, has a chance to perform a stunning blow. Credit to Mackal & Torven for working out the mechanics.
Haynar: Added support for light sources - Credit original work from EQEmu.
Haynar: NPCs hailed will now only face their target if they are standing.
Haynar: Zoning characters will no longer show on friends lists.

*cry*

[redhorse]

Soo.. looks like good stuff. But I read it all and did not see anything about knight dps adjustments, general 2h dps fixes, or monk triple attack. So, this is not the "real" final patch. Thanks for your work though!

[Octopath]

What are some big things still on the horizon for a future patch?

Thanks devs!

[White_knight]

Not 100% sure but I think something might be in place for knights. Seem to be hitting a bit harder and I think my lowest hit was more than 27.

[linklindlink]

- the Left Goblin Ear quest rewards less experience
- Blocks of high quality ore no longer drop.
are these changes classic?

[Magbed]

Keep crashing every 2 zones... patch made it worse for me.

Cant even login it just crashes when i try to enter with my char.

[Valadiscrin]

its not leting me in, i did the patch, it worked let me in, got a rez on my bard, i hammered to ot, and it crashed, now it wont let me back in when i get to the server select screen it crashes me to the log in screen. iv reset many times, iv even rerun the patch. idk why it wont let me in.

[Twochain]

Awesome update guys, i can't believe how fast i zone lmao.

[Awweshux]

Anyone noticing Spell Improved Superior Camo not working as before?

[Jedanor]

I logged in to go get my spells and I have ZERO chars that I have been playing. Just the first screen when you come to the game initially with a human char to create. Oh well...only days I get to play are the weekends. Guess it's a work around the house day.

[sydbarrett25]

Not working for me either. Think server is down. Tried before and after server with no luck.

[Rachels]

I am also having issues logging in. I have downloaded and extracted the patch to my p99 folder several times. I turned off my virus protection and still can't load a character into the server. I can only make it to character select and eventually it times out and kicks me back to the log in screen. Any other suggestions out there?

[Jedanor]

Nevermind...all working now....

[sydbarrett25]

Nevermind...all working now....

Really? Then must be on my end?

[Wharfrat]

Thanks for all your hard work!

[kotton05]

[Dugface]

Crashing everytime i zone and half the time when logging in after the patch now... bit unstable

[riczaj01]

Really? Then must be on my end?

mine too. I've downloaed and updated the files 3-4 times now, and it always says that i need to download the patch. not sure what i'm doing wrong.

[Ashintar]

Those zone times are awesome!

[sydbarrett25]

mine too. I've downloaed and updated the files 3-4 times now, and it always says that i need to download the patch. not sure what i'm doing wrong.

Then idk whats going on. Server number is increasing and no one else is complaining. Im not really savvy enough to figure this out either... or

[Meiva]

The short zoning is amazing. Thank you! The client froze on one zone. May have just been a blip, though
I had to end task out.

[riczaj01]

Then idk whats going on. Server number is increasing and no one else is complaining. Im not really savvy enough to figure this out either... or

no its a me problem, just not sure what i'm doing wrong :)

[Awweshux]

Big thanks to all the staff who somehow continue to put huge amounts of time into this project after 10 years of dealing with ungrateful nerds! Dare I hope the 2H buffs are coming soon, and I can finally outdamage all of the gharns/fon scrubs?

[Meiva]

Then idk whats going on. Server number is increasing and no one else is complaining. Im not really savvy enough to figure this out either... or

Hi all. You need to extract the new files in to your Everquest directory. Your computer should prompt you as to whether youd like to override or copy the files. You want to override in most cases. If you don't get that prompt, you're likely not doing it right.

If you continue to have problems, uninstall and reinstall and follow the getting started guide. This sucks, but shouldn't take you too long.

[sydbarrett25]

Think I deleted the files for downloding the game. Really think I need to do that again? When I originally downloded them, I have a file that is flagged as a virus, dont want to do that again...

Edit: I am able to get into other servers. Red did not work however

[Rygar]

Mr. Nilbog, question:
Nilbog: Added many missing pet names.

This a result of my pet name research post? If so, possible to add, "Credit to Rygar for the complete list." or something? It took quite a bit of digging and figuring out, was pretty proud about it. Not that it is something I want for each bug report, just felt like that one was an 'above and beyond' type thing.

Am sad the Dalnir / Hole updates didn't go live, but lets me look forward to things in the next patch :)

Cool list from all the devs, Norrath going to be ablaze with adventure!

[Kemiman]

I am having the same issues where I am on the character screen with it stating that "your spells file is outdated." I've done an uninstall and reinstall of the game, and applied the appropriate patch with the same results. Any other ideas?

[bernardsalmon]

New chancellor spear? Will the old one still work for key quest?

[kingpinner]

Some Mac users are getting this error after adding new files to directory it seems...

[sounion]

thanks so much for the hard work guys. literally letting me relive part of my youth :)

[reznor_]

cheers! great work!

[Oleris]

Anyone give a run down of what's left.

Some stuff off the top of my head

1) triple attack, bard melee buffs

2) bard dagger proc lasting 3 mins

3) light blue con system returning

4) resist changes for dragons


Also, I wish lifetaps were made unresistable again.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and now am getting an error "windows cannot finde 'eqgame'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. Is there an easy answer on how to correct this?

[Darkforger]

No high quality ore drops is completely ass for someone who does human cultural smithing and has spent years to do so. Is high quality ore going to be made available at a vendor like all of the other cultural ores?
:confused:

[loramin]

First off, I would like to apologize for the delay in getting this patch out to you.

Beautiful post, but just one thing: on a free server where mysterious people I've never met keep making improvements to a game I love playing (and using to relive my turn of the century nostalgia) NO ONE is owed any sort of apology whatsoever.

But thank you, thank you, and thank you also to all the hard-working devs and researchers!

[Dorubbaga]

I will need a little more of a walk through on this. When I click the file, it says open with "Windows Explorer" default or "save file". When I look at options other than Windows Explorer it does not show me the file you say to save it to or extract it to. What do I do? I am on Windows 10 and using Firefox.

Small and large bricks will continue to drop.

[seabass315]

Is there currently and 20% xp boost on ?

[Opius]

Still broken on my 52 Paladin...

[Gromf]

Garath the Trader trading in knight weapons and monk fists on primal/priceless velium weapons yet? This patch should have been the appropriate timeline for that.

[Darkforger]

Small and large bricks will continue to drop.

okay, thank gawd!

Now I can thank you for your incredible patch!
Very impressed by the number of changes and the time that this would have took you all to complete.
TYVM for your dedication!
:)

[Para99]

Anyone give a run down of what's left.

1) triple attack, bard melee buffs

2) bard dagger proc lasting 3 mins

3) light blue con system returning

4) resist changes for dragons


Also, I wish lifetaps were made unresistable again.

I thought the resist changes impacted more than just dragons? Either way we still need the immunity messages with those changes.

i.e. A Rock Golem is immune to your mesmerize spell. (or whatever the exact text is)

[Deuterium]

I have done the download and extracted to my P1999 titanium file. I continually get the the Character Screen and it says I need Spell Files. So I do the process again, V46 and been extracted and applied several times and deleted and redownloaded and reextracted. Still says I need spell files. Still disconnects me. Please HELP!! Thank you!

[Madbad]

fast zoning, not classic

need to add zoning delay

Kidding, keep up the good work, you guys are the best!

[drakkan]

Oh nice thank you so much! Knights hopefully do gooder dps now =)

Edit oh wait that part not out yet. *sadface*

Is there a list of what that patch will eventually bring for sk's? I couldn't find info but I heard something about a harmshield, I know triple attack but looks like that didn't come yet...offense skill caps?

[Brool]

on my 4th reinstall today, anyone else run into problems?

[Teppler]

My game won't load into my char into Trakanon's Teeth. I need to ctr alt delete out after hitting Enter World. My EC char is fine though. I can log into him.

[Iksar_with_a_plan]

I dont have an eq titanium directory only a project1999 file

[Oleris]

I dont have an eq titanium directory only a project1999 file

That's the correct location.

RIP load times

[riczaj01]

on my 4th reinstall today, anyone else run into problems?
it's my 2nd. I cannot launch the game now. Going to have to do it a 3rd time.

[Sorn]

Mr. Nilbog, question:

This a result of my pet name research post? If so, possible to add, "Credit to Rygar for the complete list." or something? It took quite a bit of digging and figuring out, was pretty proud about it. Not that it is something I want for each bug report, just felt like that one was an 'above and beyond' type thing.

Am sad the Dalnir / Hole updates didn't go live, but lets me look forward to things in the next patch :)

Cool list from all the devs, Norrath going to be ablaze with adventure!

I've actually double-checked on live as well to make sure it's accurate but there is a very old list of all pet names that's been around for a while (because every possible name for a pet is auto-loaded as a special NPC in every zone). It's just a long-ass list that would be a pain to double-check and add.

Plenty of people have had their bug reports fixed in patches without credit in patch notes so don't expect your research work to be acknowledged specifically in patch notes unless it's actual dev work that possibly also impacts EQEmu :P That's how they've always done it.

[sydbarrett25]

it's my 2nd. I cannot launch the game now. Going to have to do it a 3rd time.

Went to work, but was having problems all morning, not just you man.

[Triiz]

Speaking of taking credit for contributions...


Nilbog: Sentry Kale will respond properly at dubious faction for bracer quest.


Yay I finally contributed to P99 in a very minimal positive way.

It didn't make it in the patch notes but I checked and Fabian's Strings quest is also fixed he has a MQ bank now. Faction for NFP guards or Soulfire quest now available with 50% less carpal tunnel!

[mattydef]

The only thing i was looking forward to was the knight updates since chardok is going to be ridiculous anyway. Looks like the melee changes were the only things not put into the patch. I thank you guys for your hard work though its much appreciated.

Takp made it just an algorithm since I determined the proper formula to prevent loading a list, don't see why that can't be done here.

Like I said, not looking for that every time of course, but it consisted of crawling like 1500+ old guild web pages to find a mountain of classic evidence to determine the effective list and confirming pet names aren't unique to class / body type.

I'm good without the credit understand, was just looking for classic points / acknowledgement :p. The thread was never mentioned fixed pending update, so it may not have even been used.

*not in patch notes but fixed*

*White Dragon Helm now gives appropriate Magic Resist (30 total) +20SV MAGIC from Endure Magic (worn) and +10 SV Magic from the helm, amongst other stats.

Telin: Corrected The Statue of Rallos Zek's faction.


Just looking for clarification on what this means, was Statue on the wrong faction?

[Deuterium]

The Character Screen keeps saying I need more spell files. So I extract the files again and replace, then I go to Character Screen and it says I need more spell files, So I extract files and replace.... Infini Ad Nausium... Please tell me the fix for this issue or re-link the zip document so it will unzip properly.

I had updated the spell formula To ignore levels, it came close to fixing it, but Haynar’s fix I believe got it 100%.

Thank you so much Rogean, Haynar, Nilbog and Telin! This has got to be one of the most appreciated labors of love of the past two decades, if not ever.

FYI: My SK defense skill bug persists, and is still correct by loading a character into Cobalt Scar. It is still shown as red on normal game loading (227), with corresponding AC (910 atm). If a character is loaded into CS on the same client, logged out, and my SK logged into, defense is shown as white (252) and AC is (974). No parsing or evidence of damage taken sadly, but I feel way tougher and skills are shown consistently as different. This is unchanged from client behavior prior to the patch, and I've been telling hybrids when I get the chance (am not very active).

All an FYI, no direct response requested. Thanks again p1999 team!!!!

[Haynar]

There are still issues with skill caps. I got to look at it more.

I'm still getting sp-1 error after installing v46. Running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

Is Hammered Golden Hoop incorrectly tradeable? I saw someone selling one in EC today but didn't think to check if it was no drop. Multiple comments on Zam indicate it was No Drop until 2002. I don't want to make a bug report if it's already No Drop and the guy in EC was just trolling.

Just a shout out to the staff for all the hard work they have continuously done for this server, thank you for all that you do. This was indeed an enormous patch!

the zoning times are simply game changing. thank you very much.

This is the error I'm getting as well. Any work around figured out yet?

One time when I updated P99 i noticed that if I just copy and paste the files into the P99 directory the folders will completely override folders with the same name versus merging the two. This may be the cause of your issue.

The person who made this design decision is probably the same person who decided we don't need a cut function in Finder.

By "Corrected (randomized) Groi Gutblade and Synger Foxfyre spawn mechanics" what exactly was done? Especially with Groi. His timer was 20m20s. Now it appears indefinite. Friend waited for an hour, I waited for an hour. No spawn. Has Groi been broken or is there a new undocumented trigger (much like Quillmane)? Some direction would be appreciated.

Yea right, when stuff was changed like this on live they didn't exactly give the script to players so they could farm easier. Figure it out, search bug sections, or research ZAM for guidance

Dude, not sure what walked up your skirt. Did I ask for the solution? No. I merely asked for guidance as in "No, its not broken". From there, I will work it out. If it is broken, then bringing it to the attention of the coders would help all players. You need to go back to taking your meds.

Doc,
I have seen these links in the past but they did not help as Groi was a single location spawn on a specific timer. The first link is more informative than the second. I have to assume that, as indicated, P99 now allows for Groi to spawn at multiple points rather than its single spawn point which would make more sense. If this was the true intent, then thank you. /bow.

I don’t understand. With all due respect, if NPCs aren’t supposed to be interrupted by push, then how are we supposed to prevent them from complete heal or gate? Won’t this make it even more difficult and frustrating? For example monks would use their dps to interrupt etc...

I have to say, the loading times were lightning fast (yes Sadiki, I did actually log in). Logged on to my wiz and I swear I loaded 4 times in less than 20 seconds, probably less than 15 seconds. Haynar you are unreal (P.S. manually add 20-40 seconds load time now to simulate dial up).

I don't remember how it worked before then, but each time I loaded it brought me to the splash screen like during log in. Did this always happen on P99? Can't recall for the life of me. I thought live would just keep your screen frozen looking at the 'LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...'

What exactly is a "push"? I've heard it being called in raids to "push" the mob. What are people doing at that point?

[snyder43]

Nevermind!

[loramin]

What exactly is a "push"? I've heard it being called in raids to "push" the mob. What are people doing at that point?

Short version (I'm no melee player, but Cecily taught me the basics in Seb once): when you attack a mob and you are standing close enough to them, you move the mob slightly in the direction you are facing. Currently if you get a bunch of people to all face the same direction and stand close enough, they can collectively "push" the mob far enough away from where they started casting to interrupt their cast.

I'd refer you to the entry into the "Advanced Techniques (http://wiki.project1999.com/Advanced_Techniques_Guide#Pushing)" page on the wiki, except there's no point since this is going away soon. And amazingly enough before I even had a chance to fix it myself, Caiu went and added a note already. God I love the wiki :)

[Haynar]

When melee hit a mob. Or a spell with a push component. It moves them. If they move too much. It interrupts a spell. Currently mobs get interrupted too easily.

I do recall that as late as PoP expansion, that we could push mobs. I don't recall if it interrupted casting, and I doubt it did. Will your patch allow for mobs to be moved via the push, but not interrupt the cast? Moving mobs with melee push was classic. I'm not certain that interrupting their casts was. Likely not.

As I understand it pushing a mob will remain unchanged, the only thing different is a mob will never interrupt it's casting from a push.

Fixing NPC spell interrupts due to push. NPCs should not be interrupted by push. Ever. Reduce rates of bash interrupts for higher level NPCs.

Flee stuns, baby! Another great TAKP copy would be FD mechanics.

NPCs here get new linger timers on reaggro if they haven't begun homing
Monks get an increased chance to blur per fd attempt here which I believe is egregiously wrong. You can FD off 5-10 shrooms somewhat consistently with a minute of chain FDs.
Everyone gets 1-2s of no-aggro after standing which I don't believe is correct (npcs should just only check every so often, meaning there is a decent chance you could get lucky, but it shouldn't be guaranteed)
Sneak/invis does not prevent reaggro after FD


It's a gigantic nerf to the monk class which is sadly sorely needed here. FD splitting is supposed to be hard.

Also no hate from spells out of melee range on belly casters would be excellent. It would make it a lot more interesting to pull all of the lords and ladies out of TOV trains. Witness checks would also make things much more interesting there.

And I'm not sure how we managed to get rogues back to sneaking everywhere, but that should go.

Thanks for all your time! I would hope that porting some of these mechanics over would be . . . not too hard?

[Rygar]

Also no hate from spells out of melee range on belly casters would be excellent. It would make it a lot more interesting to pull all of the lords and ladies out of TOV trains. Witness checks would also make things much more interesting there.


Maybe a slight complication if this does get implemented, but I'm near certain unresistable spells should still land on belly casters outside of melee range (not sure how P99 currently works, but from some research I've come across this seems classic).

So then if not compensated for, Wizard's can cast Porlos' Fury on belly casters outside melee range and generate no agro from it. Would be fun to see a group of wizzies trying to nuke down a ToV dragon though, curious how many it would take on that cooldown timer.

Oh come on. It’s funny because they’re bad.

[Haynar]

Hardcaps for AC likely needed for this era. Monks are OP.

[Zanj]

Did the IP exemptions get reset in this latest patch? I am unable to logon simultaneously with my wife.

[Rygar]

Hardcaps for AC likely needed for this era. Monks are OP.

Just recalling by memory, but would this be considered 'custom content'? I thought Demonstarr55 showed that soft caps were in place at the end of Velious (maybe I misunderstood his post).

Of course, I don't even quite understand if AC on P99 is properly functioning, seemed like something of a debate.

P.S. If I have your ear, would you ever consider limiting P99 to only opening 2 containers? I came across another post from Ele where you said it was possible to restrict moving items within bank bags, but that messing with the movement code was too dangerous (could cause dupes). Not sure if preventing opening a container is the same thing?

[Raev]

Hardcaps for AC likely needed for this era. Monks are OP.

289 AC hardcap is classic. But IMO that only helps monks who can then achieve identical AC to a plate tank while retaining Block (which is not 360 degree here I might add!).

I don't really consider Monks overpowered here in terms of pure fighting capabilities. My Warrior has substantially worse gear than my monk and yet blows him away in tanking ability, and Rogues always beat me effortlessly on the parse.

The problem with P99 monks is not pure offense/defense, but broken mechanics that are way too favorable to monks: all of the previously mentioned FD issues that let monks go anywhere with little risk, NPCs attacking probes, push to interrupt, and (before) the lack of a cap on the blinding orb. If these are fixed then I feel like the various melee would be pretty well balanced.

Then we just need the specific immunities patch to let player nukes and taps and dots land on raid bosses and I feel like things would be pretty reasonable, except for Wizards, and even they do OK with VP/Velk robes.

It would be really fantastic to see Project 1999 finally get some classic mechanics. On the other hand, I couldn't care less about multiple bags being open. Even TAKP's client lets you open more than one bag. Whatever.

[AegnorP99]

Then we just need the specific immunities patch to let player nukes and taps and dots land on raid bosses and I feel like things would be pretty reasonable, except for Wizards, and even they do OK with VP/Velk robes.

If you're gonna let every class nuke raid mobs, then wizards are gonna need something in return. I will accept the TAKP version of Flaming Sword of Xuzl (it's awesome over there) and spell crits as recompense.

Titanium was once a free public download so that probably had something to do with it.

The powers that be have their own limits. Some years back I recollect Haynar saying he had a fix for mousewheel scroll ready to go but was over-ruled. Likewise the admins here have said they have no intention of removing features like item linking or multiple chat windows because they like having those things, classic or not.

I have done the download and extracted to my P1999 titanium file. I continually get the the Character Screen and it says I need Spell Files.

Haynar: Added support for light sources - Credit original work from EQEmu.

Haven't seen anyone else mention it, this new light source action is epic.

It's an option before you log in to the server
When you're at the screen where you enter your account password hit the escape button on your keyboard, it will take you back one screen, there will be an "Options" button, click that
It asks what graphics card, hit next
It asks about graphics for races, hit next
Then it will show you multiple options you can hover over to see what they do, turn Dynamic lighting on, hit next or finish whatever it is, completely restart the game and light sources should be working.

Since last update I constantly crash from server select to character select screen. Half the time screen is blank and I need to stat over. When I finally get in I get a few almost instantaneous zones then crash again. I have tried replacing patch notes a few times, one complete reinstall, and tried patch files one at a time. I know a few people having the same problems. Anyone find out how to fix this?

Post to technical discussion. Include your OS and computer specs as that may be helpful. I know some people were having issues because they were updating some folders but not the files within it.

Yeah, Windows users (of a certain version, I want to say 10) had some issue where Windows would fail to copy over the patch files properly, and you had to copy/paste each file individually when patching to get around it.

But definitely check the Technical Forum, as people might have found a better solution by now.

Is it just me or is Hit from behind stun longer than Bash stun?

hello I am having trouble understanding how to extract the files from the v46 and add them to my EQ directory. when I open the v46 it sends me to winzip is this the only way to download it to extract the files I need?

New player here, just sayin' it would probably be a good idea to update the "Getting Started" post with the new patch, since the game sends you there if you don't have it, only to find the outdated one.

This file errors 404 and installing V47 over v45 doesn't allow login... :( I have extracted and overwritten my files and when I login I don't get a list of servers....
