New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

Devs can't really do anything about VOIP as much as i wish they could but they can put a stop to this if they really want to.

Which they don't. Because there is no need to. You and chewie screaming DOOOOOOOMM!!!!, while funny, doesn't make it so.

You need to stop obsessing - it's bad for you, really.

in the future, people will say "ah yes, i remember project1999, was great until some asshole publicly distributed map-hacks and other non classic shit"
way to go meatball, end of an era

Wow. You and Hawk need to get a room and paranoid out together.

[no chewie dont]

why did they disable in game maps?
or, even better question:
why would you find a 3rd party workaround to enable something disabled? theres other servers that have it, have a blast there imo

What's the trakanon respawn timer? I'll add a small check in log for when the text he has been slain is found and mark the next spawn in an overlay for the map [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Interested to see what it does to the size of EQ log files.

Any testing in terms of growth per hour / week etc?

I wonder if you could just clean the log out periodically with a quick script to remove all /loc's.

Also tristantio, I've always thought it would be cool to have a guild damage parser. One that collects and correlates the different damage logs. This seems like it would be a good base for something like that.

Im glad they disabled it due to MQ2.

Enable maps, and MQ2 will have a huge advantage, anyone thats used MQ2 (basically every single server on EQemu) can attest. As it stands now, even if u do enable MQ2, it wont be as useful as it was before.

As long as it didn't affect the server or give you info you didn't already have, why wouldn't you if you wanted it?

And how is a map app any different from the printed maps we had back in 1999 sitting right next to our computer?

Most important questions: why do you care what other people do? how does another person's private fun affect you?

And no, Hawk, Devs really cannot put a stop to log parsers, any more than VOIP.

For comparison, here is the currently under development map section of my P99 Parser in action. Sorry for crappy video quality. (GTK3+, Python, Cross-Platform)
