HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[agentjayd007]

I made it all the way to the step where I have to change the eqclient.ini file, yet when I open it in TextEdit the only thing listed on the file is

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE

Literally, that is all hah. Did I get a faulty download or something?

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for making this happen. I'm an EQMac refugee and I'm trying to get p99 up and running[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've gotten as far as the character selection screen. Everything looks good menu wise, log-in wise, but all that is displayed is the sky and tiny little pixels which float and jump around. I'll try to attach a screenshot.

Any Ideas?

PS Finally! I've been wishing for a boxless server for years on EQMac. So happy to be here[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

System specs? Looks like a rendering issue to me...

Ive done all of the steps, it runs but it doesnt run for p99 yet because when i go to replace all of the files that are required to be replaced it just crashes when i try to run it again... The files im referring to are the Files V.30 now with the latest patch

Edit-I read some later posts which i should have done in the beginning and i will see if what i found to be fruitful... Yep that worked, if anyone else had such issues i just copied each individual file that were in the subfiles of the latest patch and pasted them in the existing file so it didnt replace the whole file that was already in my EQ folder

Runs just as it did in Mountain Lion. No issues!

Sounds like you are missing key files. I assume at some point you copy/pasted entire folders (either during original install or with patch items). Maybe you did it correctly with the patch file, but perhaps not with the original install.

1) Make sure you replace all of the files as outlined in the original post. Do NOT just copy over the folder, you have to go IN to the folder, copy the items, then copy them IN to the correct folder. Just copying over folders replaces entire contents (containing key files to run the game).

2) Once you have done that, repeat for the new patch files and folder (again, replacing contents within the folders, not replacing the folders by a simple copy/paste).

Start over. I made this mistake myself but doing it carefully a second time and it worked just fine.
