Question for P99 Devs, regarding Titanium Client
This is not directly related to P99, but myself, and another EQEmu user, have been trying to figure this out for 3 or more days, and today learned, that the issue I'm dealing with, is in regard to the Titanium Client while trying to run a private (Windows) server.
Original Post via EQEmu I hope you guys don't mind me bringing this issue here, but this problem appears to be unique, in some way, and you guys are top dogs, using the same client. The short version (so, you don't have to go to the post):
I'm wondering if any of you devs, around here, have seen this issue, or know of any possible fixes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | ||

And if a random person who doesn't even know the software, on what really is the wrong message bard to even be asking, is helping you ... then I think it's probably time to step back and realize that you need to spend some time reading the EQ Emulator documentation [You must be logged in to view images.

Never seen anything like that. EQEmu has changed a lot though. You don’t set it up the same way anymore. Config is now in json I think. Nothing like what we use here.
Its probably been several years since I tried to set up an eqemu server. Because I keep multiple versions of perl installed to support diff servers, it would not install easily. If you have a clean pc to run on, it should be super easy to set up. Just point and click.

Seriously though, what do you need multiple versions for? Do different EQ Emu versions depend on them? I didn't even know EQ Emu needed Perl.

P99 uses perl 10. When i started on takp, we used perl 12, which has since been removed. Lua is now scripting choice. Takp i build on VS 2017. But p99 never moved past 2010, so I need set up to build both. Its a fun combo.
My dev laptop is set up to code on either project. Keeping it working for all has been a challenge.

As Haynar said, a lot has changed for eqemu. Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of us could help you better than the folks maintaining the current version.

And yeah Lua seems to be the new "hot" choice for adding scripting to apps; I'm more partial to JS or Python for scripting, but to each their own. Quote:
But ... c'mon: would you really rather maintain a mess of Perl scripts, or scripts written in a more ... sophisticated language (Python, JS, or heck even Ruby, which actually stole a lot from Perl)? I mean, if so, great. It's just that Perl isn't exactly known for being maintainable, so most coders I know would pick a different language if they had a choice.

I don't think anyone is disputing that Perl is garbage. It would just be a massive undertaking at this point to convert all of the scripts to another language, and at that point what are we really gaining.

P.S. Nilbog AND Rogean (and Haynar!) posting in the same thread? I haven't seen that in ... I can't even remember the last thread like that! And who would have thought: all it took was a little Perl-bashing (well, and an EQEmu question) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
