Hokkay, found some time where I was bored: for you luclin model lovers out there, a quick and dirty workaround thingy https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ide%20Door.zip

On the one hand, it also works around the internal model dependencies (don't need human for erudite or wood elf for other elf). On the other hand, I hope you like baldness and, if a robe-wearer, pantslessness. External mesh pieces (like the baggy parts of robes) don't seem to get loaded correctly. Dunno if that would be fixable by cramming more data in there (where is hair even loaded from?). No idea if this applies to bulky plate armor or not!

Suitably flawed, but I wouldn't expect this to work for very long in any case.

Luclin models still work for those that like them. I've personally used this and it works just fine. Might have some graphical glitches with Velious armor. I've noticed in particular my chestplate doesn't show up right unless I equip a classic/kunark BP then swap my Velious BP back on. I've gone back to classic models for now just cause I generally prefer them but its nice for a change once in a while.

Enjoy EQ how you wish my elf pals. Don't let the obnoxious and incredibly annoying classic purists get ya down.

INB4 banned, there is a very good reason they blocked folks from messing with character models.

The post I quoted has been on the boards since the day after they changed how the globalload file works. I've personally re-quoted it at least 2 other times. Staff members have posted in the same thread where it was initially posted (after it was posted) and nothing has been said about it not being allowed or banning for it. Nor has people using Luclin models ever been said to be against the rules by any P99 staff member to my knowledge.

Correct. The change they made was to nerf people on Red99 from exploiting turning skeletons into human models to avoid the lack of names above people using AON's. The nerf was not made targeting Luclin models it just happened to break the previous method that enabled them.

Nice try tho!

I don't understand any of this, aren't models use selectable?

The game experience improved for me with the release of Luclin models. Personal preference though, still love this era the most, so will take the FAR subpar classic graphics over EQ LIVE and P2002 using Luclin graphics. I get you classic purists at heart though, even though your tastes in character models is disturbing.
