SOE Hits my immersion for 600 points of damage!
 

Hi,

New player here, Mr Oldfart, i have been running around in norrath for the past week enjoying every bit of it until today when i finally got 24 and a nice gnome helped me research the lvl 24 pet "Haunting Corpse". I was excited see Jabober grow in size! But once summoned he looked like a tiny ugly new skeleton version, you know the ones SOE made which looks like utter complete shit.

How can i fix this? I need my immersion, i want the old red original beautiful skeletons not these badly made plastic pygmy pieces of trash!

Thank you for all the hard work, the server is truely a classic experience, beyond anything i could ever imagine, but please help me with this issue!

Thank you!!

i bet you missed the globalload.txt in the ressource folder

Nope it's there, i did have all the skeleton models correct all through lvl 1-20 but at 24 it became a SOE skeleton (red one) :(

Thanks for the tip though!! All are welcome, i want to solve this!

When i click that link i get

im pretty sure its because they havent put classic darkbone models in yet..

My bad. Staff forums. Best explanation I could find with my search terms and I don't think there's any super secret info in here.

Damn, sad to see that, i can live with the ugly skelly ofcourse, but i would loooove to see the old models, thanks for the quick responses, back to norrath for me!

I think there may be a way to force pre-luclin models. When I first started, P99 had all the original player models, but all the mage elementals were the updated models (with heads and muscles etc). What I did was at the very first Everquest screen to show up when you start the program, select the "Option" menu. I got a pop-up within Everquest saying an external menu would open up, which it did. In this menu, I think I first selected my GFX card and then on the next menu, I was able to select which luclin textures to load. I deselected all, and then continued through the menu. When I got back into Everquest and loaded up P99, all of the mage elementals were the old floating torsos and arms. I don't know if this will work with skellies, but you may give it a shot.

Good luck.

i understand adding classic darkboned skeletons to P1999 prob wont be able to happen
but i wont be aposed to the devs adding say the classic zombie / mummy in its place if thats possible
i know its not classic but the change would be purly cosmetic
