Forgive my ignorance, but what does this actually do? Does this keep my P99 files current or is it more general to EMU server stuff?

It patches the files neccessary for the servers that keep theyr files up to date ... for P1999 and EZ server etc. to quote the feature list from the link:
Features:
- Get Serverlist (from eqemulator.com)
- Watch Server Status of as many servers on the list as you want and get a speech warning if prefered
- Start the EQ-Client (You can either set a shortcut (*.lnk) or the eqgame.exe)
- Patching eqhost.txt
- Get newest updates of custom server files (spell_us.txt, map-files, etc)
- Patching to certain server-only files whenever you need (if you play on different servers)
- Change Font-Size (for bigger screens)
- SoF-Client support
- SoD-Client support
- Auto updating of the launcher
thats what it does ...

Uaellaen posted the list of features, you can keep your files up to date and switch between servers easy (patch for that server you want to play now)

version 1.1: 88 downloads so far, no feedback/bugreport sent (just one from 1.0) - so i guess this is a good start ;)
enjoy the tool and dont be shy to send bugreports or even requests for new features through the feedback-system or the moestaverne.com forum
for upcomming changes, also check http://moestaverne.com/forum

not yet, but you can just create a shortcut which handles this and set this shortcut in the eqemulauncher options
*added this to the upcomming feature list
Zordana
06-16-2010, 12:50 PM
125 downloads so far - the only sent feedback regards things that are working as intended
(manualy deleting/replacing server files befor eqemulauncher could back them up can lead to problems. if you set EQ up for p99 you have replaced your spell icons file, servers which use the original file will have the spell icons not work properly then)
Zereh
06-16-2010, 08:10 PM
My only issue is that it does not shut down once you start P99 with it. The last line always says something like EQEmuLauncher will close in 3...... but it never does. I've been using it to make sure I have updated files and then shutting it down and starting the game the old-fashioned way.

06-17-2010, 02:07 AM
it never does? any error comming up? it should minimize itself after 3 seconds..
if you wanna close it instead of miminizing you can just press play and when you see the message Launching EverQuest just press close=)

Version 1.2 released - use Version 1.1 to update =)
Zordana
06-20-2010, 07:07 AM
180 downloads and almost 100.000 serverlist requests this month. gogo =)
i got 3x feedback.. 2 of them were regarding problems with spell gem icons:
if you set up your everquest for p99 and THEN use the launcher to connect to other servers, you dont give the launcher a chance to back up files you delete/change for p99, so those cant be recovered for servers where the original file is needed, thats why it is recommended to use a fresh titanium version befor using the launcher
the other one was a problem with windows 7 not saving the config file and having problems with downloads and/or patching.. this is caused by UAC (User Account Control of Windows) not allowing access to certain files. if your EQEmuLauncher folder and EverQuest folder have the correct access rights or you have UAC disabled, it should work!

The auto-update client thing is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
This thing should be required for P99 since it's the dead easiest way to stay up to date!

I am computer retarded. Is this necessary for playing on the P99 server? I don't Play on any other server.
k2summit
01-06-2011, 10:22 PM
Its not necessary. It is convenient however, it will update any new files p99 is using. If you dont use the launcher, you have to manually download new files and extract them to the correct place.

I have not been playing long here. So far I dont think I have had to do that. When that is done, do we receive instruction on how to patch?

I've been playing since July and I've only had to do it once, and it was clearly stated in the patch notes how to do it, with a link to the new files and everything - it was very easy. I only play on P99, so I don't bother with this launcher, though if I played on other servers as well (which would then have different files), I could definitely see a use for it.

wineq or not wont make a difference ... you can set the wineq link in the options instead of eqgame.exe, the EQ folder has to be your EQ root either way ...

The more things i try to fix, the more goes wrong. I downloaded the supposed fix for the spell files missing error but that made everything worse. Then i tried someones suggestion to download this updater but it wont even run. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Any ideas?

does the EQEmulauncher 1.1 or 1.2 make the SoF client more stable? Or is this just a convenience? Honestly, if I just play on p99, I don't see a personal need for this.

It appears to have been designed for ease of use between the various servers. At one time I was switching between servers and would have to redo my folders upon returning to P99 or other other server. Although I've downloaded the client I never did switch between other Servers to see how well it worked.

since Uuaellaen is updating the p99 spell files continously, it is even usefull for people who just play on p99..
btw.. i have implemented some sort of better error reporting and exception handling, i will release this new update soon...

Hi there,
I'm just starting and trying to download the launcher. However when I try the link you provided the website is no longer there. I found it elsewhere but when I open the files there isn't anything to install it with.
Know anywhere else I can download the launcher?

Should be able to go to http://moestaverne.com/ - Not much there other than a message saying it is under construction, but underneath that is a link to the download.

I have great news for you.
Rogean and I worked out a way to keep you guys always up to date. Instead of reading informations from my file-list, for the Project 1999 Server, the filelist comes directly from project1999.org - so as soon as there is a new update, eqemulauncher will know it ;)
Enjoy the launcher =)

im glad you guys like it..
i am still working on the rewrite, but reallife keeps me pretty busy, so i dont have much time to work on that (as you see moestaverne.com is also still under construction)..
here is a little preview of the new version:

for the people having troubles with the launcher: here is a video from a player of akkadius' funhouse server explaining how to set up the launcher
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOxyLIKI4N4
Also: in the first post, i have implemented an image showing how many requests came in from the launcher.. that is actually not updated anymore, but for those, who are interested: there are about 17k requests per day, so i guess people like the launcher :)

i receive a lot of feedback regarding problems with permissions or black screens or serverlist not showing up etc..
im working on moestaverne.com right now and a launch is in sight!
with it, there will also be installation guides (with screenshots) and news regarding the launcher and my other projects and services..
but for now, here is some information which should help those people having trouble:
=====================================
if you get the error "Not enough permissions, aborting patching..." this is due to the launcher having insufficient rights to write to the everquest directory..
the solution:
rightclick EQEmuLauncher.exe,
go to properties.
Under Compatibility, check the checkbox "Start as Administrator" or "Execute as Administrator" or whatever it is on the english client.
Then click OK and start EQEmuLauncher.exe and try to patch again.
If this doesnt help:
open the windows explorer and navigate to the folder where your have your EverQuest installation.
Rghtclick your EverQuest folder
Click on the Security-Tab and click on "Edit".
In the Group- or Usernamelist, click the User you are logged in with.
Then, in the list below (Rights) give "Full Acces".
Then click OK and start EQEmuLauncher.exe and try to patch again.
=====================================
If, after starting EverQuest, your screen goes black, this has nothing to do with the launcher, but most likely with your resolution settings in your eqclient.ini..
=====================================
if there are other problems ingame, this is most likely due to wrong custom files or any files damaged and also has nothing to do with the eqemulauncher..
=====================================
if the serverlist will not disappear, this also not the launchers fault... the launcher patches the eqhost.txt..
tho, if you arent using Titanium, the login server port changes from 5998 to 5999.. for those having troubles with the login server with the titanium client: sometimes servers wont appear or there are only empty brackets: []... for me, logging out and in again fixes this..
=====================================
i hope this helps to get problems fixed.. if there are still any complications, dont be shy and use the feedback button within the EQEmuLauncher

Rumzuck
