How to enable Luclin Graphics

[frefaln]

^ Go back and read the other stuff I've said. I just said I didn't have a problem if the OP enabled the models. I'm just trying to explain why some people, including myself, would prefer that everyone sees the same thing.

I don't need you to understand my perspective, but you're not going to stop me from sharing it. I certainly don't need your stamp of approval on it.

Luclin models have worse animations than atari sprites.

The talk isn't pointless at all, I've enjoyed hearing perspectives other than mine. Don't like that? Tough.

Point taken.
I will rephrase.

The conversation itself wasn't pointless but:

We probably shouldn't totally shit up this person's thread with hate.
They went out of their way and found a really interesting way to customize their gaming experience.

I don't see this kind of talk on the custom UI threads.

Does it work as explained?
Does it not work?
Any bugs?

That would all be more on topic as opposed to:
"I'm not going to try it because I don't like that you can do this".

People are going to make their own decisions and have their own perspective.
I have the utmost respect for Dumesh and his posts, and I also don't see a problem with what you posted frefaln. I'm just trying to show a little respect for firesyde424 as well for putting in some work and posting it here for others.

Another post burned up by the haters. Do we need to start a who's more classicer thread?

I think it's pretty cool he figured out a way to do this.

Id be interested in trying this out, but that "major" bug is a bit too much. Im currently lvling in HK and often use the HPH to get around. It would just be too much a hassle if that zone was broken.

Is there any other way to enable the graphics? Or another way to turn fix the bug?

I'll admit I got caught up in this too. My bad! Thanks for pointing this out. The 2nd post in this thread lists the bugs I've found. If you are trying this out and find some other bugs, let me know. If you find a solution to one, let me know that too. =)

I had EQ on vinyl.

I absolutely can't wait to enable this and run around judging you.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why this works in SoF so that I might be able to try it in Titanium. But I just don't have the knowledge of the client, let alone the file structure. I tried moving files between the two clients and got nowhere. From what I've read on the EMU forums, the issue with HHP has to do with the SoF client executable. It looks for the revamped version instead of the old version. I played around with the files a little bit but I couldn't get it to work.

I know that at some point, probably prior to the character loading screen, the server and the client exchange information about enabled expansions. That information presumably is still the same regardless of what client you are using. If you use a new account, and connect to P99 with the SoF client, you will see the old models. If you then connect to a server with Luclin enabled and then go back to P99, you will see the Luclin models.

At this point, I don't know enough to do more than speculate. If anyone else has more detailed knowledge, I'd love to hear it.
