I'm actually surprised that nobody has done this yet. I think I read that Haynar might be working on adding that functionality to his eqwindows-style program he works on.

I've actually got a .dll that I made that emulates this function, because I absolutely couldn't stand trying to play without mouse zoom, but it has to be injected into the EQMac eqgame.exe. It's certainly do-able, but I'm guessing it would have to be .dll proxy'd in, sort of how P99 runs it's anti-hacks and oldschool skelly model workaround.

Nope, shits classic man.

If you can't figure out how to play EQ in first person or deal with F9 views, probably not the game for you.

I have the same dll to enable mouse zoom. It would be easy to add to default dll. It was voted down.

What is being worked on it getting window to work closer to newer clients with mouse not locked. Also a built in client switcher, with similar functionality to wineq2. And an auto log in and store passwords launcher.

There are plenty of improvements possible for pc client. Just takes time.

Scroll wheel enabling has been voted down as an added feature. Because it wasn't part of that era client. Which is funny. Because disabling scroll wheel on p99 was voted down because it would upset too many. Even though it was classic.

Getting Rule Lawyered over half the mobs you killed frustrating you ?

If you answered yes to all 3 of the questions above TakProject may be the place for you. With the ability to 3 box and a guaranteed future beyond Velious the future is bright.

This week with pals Scryll and Hagz formerly of this server and new friends made there the following mobs were killed by us at a leisurely pace we set.

Ikatiar of the Venom
Eashen of the Sky
Aaryonar
Koi'doken
Lady M
Lady N
Jorlleag
Sevalak
Cekenar
Zlexak
Yelinak
Zlandicar x2
Klandicar
Ventani x2
Hraashna x2
Tukaarak

Some mobs are rotated such as Dozekar and KT between the 2 raiding guilds on the server. It's a nice environment that lets you advance your characters without it feeling like a 2nd job. If this sounds like the environment you would love to play in. Come give it a look.
Lazie you magnificent bastard. Merry Christmas!

Go figure! That is pretty funny.

numerous issues I was having trying to run the eqmac client, such as frequent client crashes and shoddy net code.

Both servers offer a different product. The people that want to have the pure eqmac experience with the half-mac/half-titanium client that goes with it, will go to TakP. People that prefer the convenience and stability of having the titanium client, will go to P2002.
We (well, Haynar) fixed the stability issues after they forked our code and we closed the source. The crashing/LDs experienced on P2002 is not an issue on TAKP. (or at least greatly reduced) Titanium is not issue free either, and no longer supported in EQEmu, so don't expect fixes to any problems that arise.

I'm not aware of anyone from the P2002 community attacking the TakP server, why does someone from the TakP community feel the need to attack P2002 if the server is as great as you're advertising it as being? Pretty sad way of trying to get players to your server.
P2002 staff (not mere users) are guilty of:

* Exploiting content on our server before we banned them
* Bashing TAKP staff on anonymous forum accounts and discouraging users from trying to play with us
* Impersonating me on Reddit
* Sending TAKP staff lengthy expletive laden hate filled PMs
* Plagiarizing my code

Then there's the thread devoted to vile things said about Secrets they hosted for months before being shamed into deleting it.

Sort of ironic after you just got done claiming that you're a better, more mature person these days Secrets.
I did not use MQ2UltraCrash to crash P2002. We made amends with the person who provoked me and that was that. Salty did most of the trolling anyways. It was an elfpals dispute gone wrong. Have nothing against the server really, just a person that played on that server at the time.
