Big props to the GMs on P99

[JohAE86]

I had installed the high-res texture package when I started on P99 (pre-Kunark). The instructions said to back up all .s3d files - which I did, then install the new .s3ds - which I did.

Well, little did I notice that the package didn't include the Kunark .s3ds. My fiancee had also done the same texture install, and we were both befuddled as to why we couldn't zone into TD on the ferries from BB/Oasis. Then it hit me: check and see if I have the zone files.

Yep, sure didn't.

So I threw the TD files in thinking everything would be all good.. yep, it worked. Got on Maiden's Voyage and we were excited to venture out. Then the zone border for Firiona Vie came up, and again, the boat disappeared, and we dropped into the ocean.

After about 20 minutes of swearing and wading about wildly, my fiancee (a druid) gated out. Well, that's half the problem solved. I am a rogue, so...

wade, wade, wade.

lots of expletives.

So I crashed my client (to prevent drowning and NEVER recovering my corpse) and came back today and fired off a petition. Hobby (who is awesome in my book already) responded almost immediately and ported me to shore advising that I fix my .s3d discrepancy.


tl;dr Hobby is awesome. P99 is awesome. I am a big stupid. I fixed the problem.

I'm donating as soon as I can. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Long live P99!
