Half Elf velious fashion bugged with patch

[pallius]

Half Elf velious plate is now showing like fine steel. Started today.

[Baldrek]

It's not just Half Elves (which I can also verify as Ranger SS Chain looks very different). Halfing Druids are having the same issues - my guess is this problem affects all Velious armor.

[Slonekb05]

Yup, all my armor looks like trash haha. Not just you

[Stitches1974]

Yep, all Velious armor graphics are borked.

[nilbog]

This was not an intentional change.

Looking into the issue and will post an update when we find out what happened.

Thank you for the update.

Does this occur on all servers, or one specifically?

Additionally, do you have the following entries in your eqclient.ini file?

LoadArmor17=TRUE
LoadArmor18=TRUE
LoadArmor19=TRUE
LoadArmor20=TRUE
LoadArmor21=TRUE
LoadArmor22=TRUE
LoadArmor23=TRUE
LoadArmor240=TRUE

Mine states:

LoadArmor17=FALSE
LoadArmor18=FALSE
LoadArmor19=FALSE
LoadArmor20=FALSE
LoadArmor21=FALSE
LoadArmor22=FALSE
LoadArmor23=FALSE

I couldn't find a line for armor240

I can only speak for blue server (I don't have any velious armor on green) but it's definitely defaulted back to classic graphics on blue. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help

Velious textures are working on my green iksar warrior (otter hide armour sleeves and wrist).

These textures are loaded despite the fact that my eqclient has the following settings:

LoadArmor17=FALSE
LoadArmor18=FALSE
LoadArmor19=FALSE
LoadArmor20=FALSE
LoadArmor21=FALSE
LoadArmor22=FALSE
LoadArmor23=FALSE

(armor240 also missing).

I presently get the old world graphics (P1999-blue) whether or not I change the .ini entries to "TRUE" or "FALSE"--I tried it both ways. I also tried reverting the patch to the v54 version of the dsetup.dll (in case some tinkering with that was the culprit) but that didn't affect it either. Traditionally P1999 has forced the Velious graphics regardless of the local .ini settings. I do not have access to any Velious items on "Green" to test it there.

Update: Got together with a couple other players on "green" and found that I see Velious textures on Green server just fine. I cannot see Velious textures on Blue at all--mine nor anyone else's. All of them display instead as their old world versions. Both servers are wholly unaffected by eqclient.ini's texture settings, as has always been the case for me on P1999. Notably the Velious custom helms are not displaying on Blue either--they're giving an old world graphic instead.

Came here to report the same.

[Danth]

As an update, the Velious-model Dark Elves in hateplane still display with Velious-style textures, even though players do NOT. I assume in their case it must be tied to the NPC models.

[realsubtle]

Hey, do we have any updates or ideas about this?This majorly impacts the game experience for a lot of players and I would love if there were some kind of visible finish line. If we need to check any more settings etc I'll be happy to look into it myself and post results.

[nilbog]

I can 'see' the velious textures on both blue and green. Looking into potential causes.

[realsubtle]

Really?! That's crazy... I wonder why yours is the exception. Computer programs are weird. They do weird stuff that i dont understand.

[Dolalin]

Could this be related to lots of people having installed the high res Velious textures pack that was advertised on these forums for ages?

I'm affected as well and I never even downloaded, much less installed that package.

As a test, I took the third computer we have here with P99 EQ on it, which I *hadn't* updated yet, and from the v55 files folder copied ONLY the spells.us text file and the dsetup.dll. Still lost Velious textures on Blue server on that machine, too, anyway.

[Dolalin]

Nice test Danth. Guess that settles that.

[Plumpys]

If nilborg can see something and no one else can, is there a pull function from the server that nil has permissions to and we don’t? Test with someone else that has dev permissions on server maybe?

[azxten]

This is an issue where Green works and Blue doesn't. Replacing eqclient.txt and having the client regenerate it does not fix it. Swapping TRUE/FALSE values in eqclient.txt doesn't do anything. Changing Luclin textures, adding LoadArmor lines, etc does nothing. There is no difference between the files the client loads or the Logs/dbg.txt output in either case.

If anyone wants to test you can just run to EC tunnel on Blue and there will always be someone there who should have Velious armor/helm loaded but doesn't.

It might be interesting if Nilbog would backup his eqclient.txt, delete the file, and then start the client and see if the textures are missing on blue.

Also, does this work for anyone on blue? I hadn't checked that yet but determining if some players see the textures would point to a client difference outside of staff/GMs.

[azxten]

I can 'see' the velious textures on both blue and green. Looking into potential causes.

I asked about 40 players in game on Blue and they all said that Velious textures/helms aren't working for them except for one player who said it worked but they weren't sure about what I was talking about when I asked for more info. They said to tell you their name is Boone and you know them if you want to follow up.

Sounds like it is broken for all players on Blue and Nilbog's client is a special exception.

[nilbog]

I think this should now be fixed.

Completely close your client and log back in.

[Fammaden]

Fixed! Thanks Nilbog.

[Halox]

Hooray! TY!

[realsubtle]

Awesome! Thank you for fixing it, I look so cool now!!

Yes it is fixed now.
