New p99 patcher + utility bundle (testers and feedback needed)
Hello all,
I have a new patcher + utility bundle that I am working on (created exclusively for p99) that currently does the following:
The things I plan to add that are not there yet:
Some other ideas I have for realtime log parsing functionality (all will require you turn /log on) will include the ability to type something such as: Code:
/me [ahu] pc fbss Or another one: Code:
/me [ahu] dps self At this point, I'd appreciate some feedback/testers for what I have so far (which is just the working patcher, none of the other stuff yet). Before testing, please back up your EQ directory just in case (although in my tests I haven't had anything bad happen). You can download the software at: http://ahungry.com/p99-patcher-min.7z And run it by extracting via 7zip and double clicking the batch (.bat) file. You can view all the source code at: https://github.com/ahungry/p99-patcher/ At this point I have tested it under Arch Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7. As the software runs on port 4444, you may receive a prompt from your Windows firewall/antivirus alerting you of this (and requiring an OK or Yes click). If you do find an issue, please email me at m@ahungry.com. Thanks! |
Download file has been updated to include any dll's you may be missing

Thanks tristantio! I'm going to give this a try. Good to see another Arch Linux user here!
|
The play option doesn't work for me, I get a error. Patcher is premo though.
|
Sounds like a great way to share my credit card information!
|
Hah, I wish :p
If something doesn't work (for instance, the "Play" button) can you include what Operating System you tried it out under? I don't have a full EQ install on any of my Windows virtual machines so tested a junk "eqgame.exe" executable with the "Play" button to ensure the proper process was spawned and passed the first argument ("patchme"). Thanks! |
Haven't tried running it yet but I did go through the source just in case anyone was worried about running it and can provide 3rd party confirmation that the only connections it makes are to project1999.com for the p99 patches (with a checksum to make sure you got what was expected) and a call to http://ahungry.com/p99-patcher.json to get an updated list of p99 patches. I'll give it a shot sometime to see how it runs on ubuntu 12.04. Also thanks for the auction tracker! That thing is awesome.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it and I appreciate the code review/assurance for everyone out there :)
|
I support tristantio's efforts fully! :)
Akkadius's patcher (no longer supported here) was updated to include a checkbox option to load EQ running a single core... I don't know how easy that was for him to implement, but will you be adding something similar? :) |
I had a tester email me regarding Duxa's batch script, which is something similar to:
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C Start /affinity 1 .\eqgame.exe patchme Do you think that should be the default (checked) or let user check it and default to multi core? Also, if you have your game installed in an entirely custom location, you will need to add to the settings.lisp file a line similar to: Code:
*eq-path* "D:\I\Hate\My\C\Drive\EverQuest\" |
