Thank you for this Nilbog. This project is far from dead. I am working on getting to 39, where these effects can start really pissing me off again. My motivation has shifted to Leveling for now. I spoke with Telin about this in depth the other day. He found some interesting stuff while comparing the two clients, eqmac and titanium. He will probably post with an update on that. I am going to edit the first post this week, and also point to here from the EQEMU forums to see if we can attract some more attention to this, and possibly some more skilled hands.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as well. We'll get this working some day, I'll be around to help when you get 39 and start diving in again.

Furi, you and I discussed this Earlier. Here is a Screenshot on this thread of 3 classic bolts in the air. Right now they have the same graphic as a GBS in someones hand flying towards the target. They should look a lot more like large Firestars

Additionally, the bolt itself does not travel fast enough towards it's target currently. It should move a bit faster and hit the target a short amount quicker than it does now.

Seeing as this thread is all about spell effects and classic looks, this is as much as I could find. If the effect itself can be fixed that would be great... though I'm not sure there's any way you could fix the time it takes for the bolt to hit. I'm guessing that's something that takes place on the staff's side of things.

Do ya think it's fixable?

here is the main thread listing consolidated issues

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if it has bearing to this, but there is a file called missle.eqg. Any correlation?

this is from an emu server like 5 years ago. seems better than p99 tho.

That's what's so frustrating about the entire thing. This was an older client that utilized dx8. Which seems to be key to all this.

Uggme, the look of the spell can definitely be fixed. I will work on this soon.
I'm 35, almost there. I'm already starting to get pissed thinking about it so it won't be long until I dedicate time to this.

Btw azxten, the gravity value eludes me. I can't find that entry

You men are doing the lords work.

I just came here to say that.

I have an old EQ disk. Lemme know what you need.

I haven't fuxed around with a hex editor like this before, but I'm willing to try my hand.

I'll take a crack based on your original post.

Some of the effects like the 39+ targeted aoe magic are massive compared to what is here now lol.
