I just got sick working on this a tad (spent like the entire night reverse engineering the MIDI code to make a DLL that adds proper MIDI support to the client) but here's the final result:

Notice the Old UI is fixed up a bit as well. This is the result of adding a proper server name to the configuration file.

Next up, position updates and spells. After that I will demonstrate a modern-era client (Titanium) and an old-era client (EQMac) in sync.

Note: Unfortunately the Trilogy client is incompatible with modern hardware, and the EQMac one barely works as-is, so this is the closest you will get to perfection on Windows 8.

position updates. Not 100% finalized as you can see by the jesus dark elf.

I'll fork this tonight or tomorrow and see if I can get the char select music working properly (unless you've already got it covered gnoll). Let me know if there is something in particular you want someone else to handle.

This is one of the greatest classic features in the works.

Speaking of the character selection screen music, since loading the game today takes far less time is there a way to let the main theme play through once before beginning the character screen midi. I can't remember if it interrupts the main theme still.

Yeah with the DLL it's possible. Just gotta add a timer when the character selection functions are hit to switch.

Talking between client versions. Same zone, different clients.
