Yeah, just install it to a different directory.

it wont let me. if i pick "modify" or "repair" it doesn't even give the option of doing that.

actually, it looks like it is doing a fresh install when i do repair. i think i moved my p1999 directory now that i think about it. i noticed that when i stopped it, there was a half installed copy in a new folder in my program files/sony directory.

(9:10:29 PM) Doublestep: i find it funny that when EQmac was under fire and about to be shut down
(9:10:34 PM) Doublestep: we welcomed them with open arms
(9:10:47 PM) Doublestep: now that it's staying and a few p99 peeps want to check it out
(9:11:02 PM) Doublestep: the entire server wants us all to crawl in a hole and commit seppuku

You have to think of what kind of human being is a mac enthusiast, or was.

I want to address this whole sentiment. I mentioned this when i came to these forums about a month ago... there are certain people in certain guilds that literally are scared to death of any type of change. Even change that affects them in a tremendously positive way. About 1/2 of the population is some of the most willfully ignorant/stubborn people on the planet...and the other 1/2 are probably the best people i have met in an MMO.

There is always good with the bad, please don't think all of us are this way though. I for one, welcome everyone and have been giving away free gear like candy as have so many others.

The fact that there are some people on EQmac that have gigantic sticks permanently lodged in their anal cavities makes the server more fun in the end as well, just dont take what they say to heart.

any of the people who were having the memory issues and got it working, what else did you try besides whats in the directions (like checking "fix eqclient.ini" and "change to 16-bit")?? Ive done everything and it continues to disconnect.

During options, it wouldn't let me select more than 2 luclin models even though I have 4gb. Is this related?

EQMac allows multiboxing, correct? Because that might kill any interest I would have in a PoP-capped server.

aye

Yea, it works on PC. Here's instructions from earlier in this thread.

Ok I had issues getting this to work, but finally got it to work properly, here's a rough guide I've drafted to help those who would like to try!

Rough Guide to play EQMAC on PC ( Tested on Windows 7 64bit)
1. Fresh Install of EQ Titanium
2. Take contests of fresh EQ Titanium installation folder and put them into an empty C:\EQMac folder
3. Unzip contents of Secret's patch zip that can be found here http://fileb.ag/0ei29cadn4k7 into C:/EQMac overwriting anything it asks to.
4. Download EQMac via the Web Launchpad 3 http://launch.soe.com/lp3/index.html...skin=everquest
5. Take contents of the Resources folder from the EQMac Launchpad download and copy them INTO C:\EQMac, overwrite anything it asks ( will be a lot )
6. Change desktop to 16bit, run eqw.exe and make sure to check the box for Fix EQclinit.ini

Note* if you want the newer UI, edit eqclient.ini and change newui=FALSE to TRUE, other settings can be changed in eqclient.ini also, like new / old PC models, etc.

I'm setting this up right now, hope to join you guys soon. I'm going to be be a beastlord i think.. Possibly a bard, ranger, or shaman.


EDIT: I look forward to playing with the infamous Diggles.

Is changing the desktop to 16bit a game option or a computer option? And how would that be done in Windows 7?

I'm assuming this is 16 or 32 bit color modes?
