I swear sometimes the EQEmuLauncher is more trouble than its worth. And I can't believe all the information regarding setting up P99 without the Launcher has been removed...
Here goes:
1)
Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to
C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is
C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the
eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select
Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the
Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select
Properties.
4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the
target line to say
"C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select
Apply and then
OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the
C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the
eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the
eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest
eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v27, found
here.
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the
C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the
C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at
EQEmulator.org.
12) Select
Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.
