That's in addition to this project of course. The ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between Titanium and older clients.

Alas I am no programmer, wish I was. Just wanted to say it's cool what you're doing and I will be watching with interest. I'd definitely be using the classic client as a result of this work, if it were possible. A number of things in the Titanium client bug me, even if they are minor.

Bump, any update on this?

Not to be a downer but if you did finish an older client and got it working for P1999, nobody would end up using this unless it was mandatory.

I'm sure some players would be pretty excited about it at first only to log in on the old client for five minutes and figure out it's hard as fuck compared to Titanium, then switch back.

There will be a lot of other code issues with the P1999 Server using the EQMac or Trilogy client instead of Titanium even after it is working and able to log in.

disagree, there's a good amount of pluses for using it, most of which you can experience on eqmac if you've played there (secrets' classic client is working from the eqmac client for windows she did)

+classic skys (way better looking)
+rock solid framerate on newer systems
+near instant zoning on newer systems
+no tacked on new engine bullshit that slows stuff down
+no support for stupid newer models that gms cast on people (sorry)
+the dream of the 90's is alive in norrath
+come on, don't be dumb
+its fucking awesome

-cant just move to stop looting/sitting

You forgot classic spell particles!! That's my favorite nostalgic memory. (Probably would fix the mage bolt too, as it worked on EQMac)
It also has the old water, which I don't care for, but it is classic.
It gets rid of the white zone name in middle of screen when loading a new zone.
It has a simpler UI, but you get used to it.
It removes that white distant fog.
It would probably fix Bard animations for various instruments.
All the boats would be classic.

You can move to stop sitting if you create a hot key with the /stand command and link it to your forward key.
