lgequip.s3d and lgequip_amr.s3d load hair and bulk armor/robe/sash components.

Thanks for that. Cramming all the lgequip* data in seems to have fixed everything. Pretty complete workaround now.

Use it while you can: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ide%20Door.zip

Open source and all that (it's all scripts). Just unzip, launch exe, point it at your EQ folder when prompted, select what you want, hit the button and give it a good while to do its work. Only uses files you already have in your EQ folder, and creates a backup of the things it changes.

Well that didn't last long

Should ultimately be pretty easy to block the workaround, I think.

I'm all for people using the luclin models if they want, but shouldn't you be banned for making and supplying a way to circumvent the rules?
Rules are rules, even if they are stupid to some degree.

Agreed. Also, you are going to piss off the staff even more than you already have.

Dunno! Haven't heard anything from anybody. And although I've heard secondhand rumblings now and then I haven't noticed any clear statement about "no more luclin models from now on" or anything like that. I don't know anything about the supposed exploits of slightly narrower ogres or whatever people mention now and then, either (that much would be easy to do without needing luclin models, in any case).

It's fine if they want to block luclin models, but they'll need to do at least a little bit more to accomplish that. I think that can be done without having to go too far and put checksums on every file or anything crazy. I might have a few ideas about that if someone wanted to ask, but I doubt they'd need any help.

I'd be okay with a ban. I don't play games. But as long as there is something I can do with this otherwise worthless experience with the EQ data formats that doesn't take much effort and that might be of interest to someone, there you go.

If I cared enough to do something bad I'd probably try to be at least a little sneaky about it.

Shouldnt the people who were using the luclin models as an exploit be banned for using the exploit? They were allowed to cheat, and the rest of us got punished for their cheating.

You're a hero my friend. I hope everyone that was glad this got changed cause they enjoy others having their fun ruined are very sad at this moment in time.
