EQ2 emulator, any out yet?

[Patreecia]

I remember WoW had emus all over the place really fast after the beta releases... i wonder if theres any for EQ2...

[Echoes]

I heard there is one in progress, this should kinda be in off-topic tho'

[Scorpx725]

*shrug* Who knows?

[Xabob]

*shrug* who cares?

[Scorpx725]

Not me, fo sho.

[cofruben]

yes...it is in progress.Zordon is coding it,I will help him when I get some time :? .

[hypershadow66]

where istheir site located?

[Edgar1898]

Tell him to code it in C/C++ this time instead of that ruby garbage and he might have more people willing to help :)

[zordon]

I really love EqEmu forums.

This is the same as to claim that EqEmu is written in Perl.

Ruby is just a scripting language you can use with emu - not the language emu is written on. You guys never even check what the other emu is :)

[sotonin]

I think the biggest debate is. We'd like a real db and not flat files. Man i'd be psyched to work on the eq2emu with you zordon. But i can't stand flat files. :(

[zordon]

It was done to make it easier to install. I havn't decided how it would be in eq2emu.

Anyway I am currently working on eq2collector trying to have it ready for tuesday and not really on emu yet. If you want to take part in analyzing eq2 data let me know.

[Edgar1898]

Wow all it took to draw Zordon here was a post about my distaste for Ruby heh :P

I'll tell you the truth, I have never used Ruby and I know very little about it, for all I know it could be the best thing since (insert cool thing here). Zordon, are you really making an EQ2 emu? If so, what language is it going to be coded in? I dunno how much support there is around here for an eq2 emulator.

[Edgar1898]

Zordon, I'll probably make a collector for it too. Is the packet protocol similiar? I havent had a chance to look at it. I'll help collect for you once I get eq2 installed later this week.

[zordon]

The basic packet protocol the same as in EQ1 login server. But they decided not to take a chance to send any plain data anymore. Everything is encrypted.

P.S. If eq2emu will ever comes out from me - scripting language will be python

[Edgar1898]

What about the language the actual code is written in?

[zordon]

It will be written in C++ same as my EQ1 emu (sorry for breaking 2 year old rumor that it was written in ruby).

[sotonin]

Shit zordon. Now i'm going to have to buy EQ2 to help out. I wasn't planning on playing it. lol

:D

[govtcheeze]

Zordon, if you need mysql / php type work for the database or scripts, let me know.

[Daeath]

So what does this mean for EQ1EMU? No more EMU releases? No more database development?

Oh well...

I got some buddies who'll be on EQ2 24/7 starting on the 9th... how soon can you expect a packet collector out? I'll make sure my buddies are collecting EQ2Live so I can get on an emulated server sooner... :twisted:

[cofruben]

there are two projects,eq1emu(This one) and eq2emu(from zordon).Different people in each so we will continue working on eqemu I hope.

[Rogean]

EQEmu will remain alive, although I don't know how active many of the developers will be. Many of us, including myself, will be playing EQ2 =P

[McFox666]

Hopefuly eqemu will stay alive =(^_^)=
I dislike EQ2 :/ 'this' is NOT an EQ >_<

Long Life EQ !! Long Life EQEmu !!

I love ya the devs and peq staff :p

[hypershadow66]

what is the minimum requirments for video card specs with eq2?

[McFox666]

what is the minimum requirments for video card specs with eq2?

A graphic card with 4 textures :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (IRC Private Joke xD)

[Knight Errant]

Awesome. I can't wait for the first release. This is gonna rock.

This is why you should get the newest verson of EQEmu and back them up long with quests databaseand source code. So if the people start leaving you'll beable to play EQ1 any time you want....


Who knows maybe the EQ2emu will be able to emu EQ1.


I dont have a computer powerful that can run EQ2 like EQ1
I dont want to play in 640x480 low everthing and have it still lag

atleast for now.

[mysticalninjajesus]

maybe someone should remake all the eq1 classic world zones with high polys and we should make an eq1 emulator on eq2 engine omfg!!

[cofruben]

Who knows maybe the EQ2emu will be able to emu EQ1.

huh...I don't think so :)

[maveren]

What about the language the actual code is written in?
the actual server side code is probably written in Cobol and or job control. I doubt soe uses pc languages on there 3 million dollar servers

[DamienStone]

It will be written in C++ same as my EQ1 emu (sorry for breaking 2 year old rumor that it was written in ruby).

lol zordon I didnt know everyone in the world knew about your eq2emu. Just remember when you invite people to join the dev team that I have to activate their account on our dev forums and limit the forums they can view (unless they help with MxO of course but if not I will give them access to your eq2 forum)

-Damien

[Knight Errant]

I don't know much about programming but I would love to beta test when you have something playable.

[yoyu007]

zondor have registered eq2emu.sourceforge.net
and eq2collector.sourceforge.net

and partner of moemu.sourceforge.net



PS:where can i download the everquest 2 clients?

thats mxoemu.sourceforge.net not moemu

*snaps his fingers all over your face with attitude*



uh huh thats right lmao

[RangerDown]

PS:where can i download the everquest 2 clients?

The patcher of course! (With an active EQ2 acct)

Just a reminder, even tho your asking about EQ2, it's still copyrighted files and still considered against the forum rules to be asking for those files from any place other than game-company-sanctioned distro channels.

[Windcatcher]

I'm not planning on supporting an EQ2Emu project...I have serious ethical problems with trying to emulate any game that is new or relatively new. Undoubtedly a lot of effort has gone into EQ2 and I think the game should be allowed to flourish without any interference. I especially wouldn't want it on my conscience that people were using an emu to cheat (such as exploring zones ahead of others).

I have mixed feeling about people who believe that its wrong to emulate new or relatively new games but yet they emulate older games. Just a little confusing.

[hypershadow66]

so wheres the forums/website that isnt FTP for eq2emu?

[DamienStone]

so wheres the forums/website that isnt FTP for eq2emu?


zordon has a private dev forum for eq2emu on my MxOEmu forums.

which are also private except to us Devs :)

Why emulate when you can work on your own MMORPG.
Personally, seeing at what point EQEmu is, i would rather wish to see all efforts going into a GNU client using eqemu than another random emulator that will just emulate something that already exist, because yeah, something like MMORPGMaker would be the pwn. What miss now to get something like this is only a client and an NPC importer.

I think a MMORPG maker would be worth it . There could be a fantasy MMORPG maker, Sci-fI MMORPG maker. If you could create customizeable MMORPGS with graphics like Matrix Online or Everquest 2 and on a large scale like that. But it sure would probably take a while to make.

-Damien

[mysticalninjajesus]

an mmorpg maker will never produce a quality mmorpg sry.. besides, there are already mmorpg makers.. there called free engines + a coder + someone who knows 3dsmax/maya/photoshop .. no mmorpgmaker will ever do a better job than that .. especially if you just choose fantasy and it randomly generates the maps, quests, npcs, mobs... that idea sucks huge balls.

however eq1 on eq2 engine would pwn amazing amounts of ass.. when eq2 emu comes out im totaly gonna work on that lol

[govtcheeze]

Any way to get collects for eq2 into the hands of the people that need them? I have not touched the bin files, but I know some people who are collecting (myself included) and would like to submit these to the devs.

[Knight Errant]

Send the files to the people who need them through email.

[Knight Errant]

Does anyone have any idea on when the first release will be?

[mysticalninjajesus]

does anyone want to start a project where we bring classic everquest gameplay to eq2 engine with eq2emu.. complete with all new zones based on the old world everquest?

[mattmeck]

EQ2 is so diferent from EQ1 that it wouldnt be feesable.

the gameplay / classes / spells / everything about it is so diferent it would be like saying " lets take a City of heroes EMU and make it EQ " Totle diferent animals

[Knight Errant]

A question. In EQ 2 do you actually get to own a boat and drive it and all?

[Vaerie]

Mattmeck is right, but still, it would be fscking cool.

[mysticalninjajesus]

knight i asked my friend and he said yes he knows where the boat merchant is but he doesnt have near enuf money.

Mattmeck: eqemu servers can have different gameplay / class's / spells from eqlive. give me a logical reason it cant work. oh wait, you cant lol!

[Scorpx725]

eqemu servers can have different gameplay / class's / spells from eqlive. give me a logical reason it cant work. oh wait, you cant lol!

By adding "lol!" to the end of that, you made your self look like a friggan idiot.

But for some logical reason, ok. Two different games, different codes, etc. And Im sure you cant make it all the way you want it, cause there WILL be something different, that you cant do. Thats a logical reason, and no I wont play your retard game "and this is why...".

[mysticalninjajesus]

lol

Two different games dont see the problem here different codes dont see where that will be a problem either. And Im sure you cant make it all the way you want it, cause there WILL be something different, that you cant do. now thats what i call a logical reason .. lol not

[Vaerie]

lol

Ok, try taking EQ and turning into BF1942. Both are 2 different games and have 2 different codes.

[mysticalninjajesus]

lmao. try taking eq2 and turning into eq1. both are 2 diff games and have 2 diff codes, yet its not a retarded and impossible idea.

try taking a bf1942 and make a mod to be eq, now thats plausible

[mattmeck]

The way combat and spells are set up you cant make EQ2 into EQ1, try playing EQ2 before you say everyone else is wrong, you have no clue what your talking about and are just trying to Troll the forums.

[mysticalninjajesus]

your the one trolling my post trying to get the eq1 remake project going. im watching my friend playing and i know how eq2 plays. :evil:

[mattmeck]

This is a thread about EQ2 EMU, not ew1 remake whatever.

[Knight Errant]

How diffrent will the EQ2Emulator be from the EQ1 Emulator?

[tobyisatramp]

I just orded EQ 2 and would die for an emulator 4 it ,as once again i find my self short of money to fund my monthly subscription fee!

So if there is one in the making or compleated plz plz keep me up to date !

or email me a tobyisatramp@hotmail.com

SORRY $ SUCH A LAME FIRST POST! :?

[yoyu007]

eqemu2.sourceforge.net

eqemu2db.sourceforge.net


died?

or killed by sony ?

just like gotwow?

[Knight Errant]

We can hope not.... Long live EQ 2 Emulator!

[Elkay]

How diffrent will the EQ2Emulator be from the EQ1 Emulator?

It will be coded right the first time? =X

[Knight Errant]

We can hope. I hope some new information gets released soon.

[Dominica]

If you get a collector built and ready to go, i have an active account and play constantly, will be more then happy to collect for you :D

[Knight Errant]

Go for it Dominica.

[Knight Errant]

So what is the progress on the EQ 2 Emulator? It seems everything has been quiet for awhile.

[Knight Errant]

I pmed Zordon on the MXO fourms he is working on the EQ2Collector and things are going extremely slow and he has loads of other work to do. It will probably be awhile till we see a EQ2 Emulator.

[sotonin]

The collector isn't the issue. it's almost done. (the first part anyways). We've got a rather large and growing DB of EQ2 data already.

FYI, blizzard killed GotWow, not sony. And don't hold your breath for a EQ2emu for a long time. It's so far off it's not even funny. Collection progress is going very smoothly though. Been collecting data on EQ2 since day 1.

[Knight Errant]

So we probably won't be seeing an EQ2Emu till later next year. Next summer if we are lucky?

[Scorpx725]

Id say next summer, if not later.

Though the project could speed up, who knows.

[sotonin]

it took a few years after eq1's release to get one even resembling a workable prototype. i'm sure eq2 may be faster because of the advances in collecting. but it very well may take a few years.

[Knight Errant]

It would be a bummer to have to wait a few years in order for the first release. I hope the project speeds up.

[Scorpx725]

Well... if you had no clue there was one and it just came up it wouldnt suck to wait, cause you wouldnt be waiting.

So.. this was pointless. Forget about the Emu for a while.

[Tajk]

Scorpx725, you mean summer 2005 or summer 2006? i dont mind waiting cause i know the devs making a hell of a job! í head alot of complaining about eqemu still, all i can say is hush :P seriously! them devs working the hardest they can!... so



WTG DEVS

[Scorpx725]

Well, as Sotonin said, it would most likely be somewhere around a year atleast from now to get something working. Then getting it actually playable.. eh

Id say summer '06 for a playable project. Having something working on the other hand, much quicker.

[Tajk]

woot so like a fully working playable version 2006, not too bad! i said it before and i say it again!





WTG DEVS!

[RangerDown]

I'm sure that this dev team won't be involved in the EQ2 emulator. Go ahead and give em credit anyways if you like, I'm sure they won't complain :P. You'll most likely see Hackersquest be the first to come out with the EQ2 emulator.

That said, I think this current dev team does deserve a WTG for their EQ1 emulator.

WTG DEVS!!!

[Tajk]

well sorry :P i give them credit cuz if they didnt make EQ1, they prob wouldnt have the knowledge to make EQ2emu at all!



so once again, WTG DEVS

[solid11]

As Rogean mentioned earlier this month....

"EQEmu will remain alive, although I don't know how active many of the developers will be. Many of us, including myself, will be playing EQ2 =P"

I think I'm understanding why it's taking so long for a current version of emu to come out. Also maybe why you haven't heard from a dev on here for updates on the progress of the patch......they all playin EQ2 =).

Seriously though, if the devs don't want to work on EQ1 anymore (curse my thoughts) and concentrate on EQ2 that is fine, but this site has grown with many more fans since the live patch of DEC 17. I think it would be a great parting gift to give everyone one final emu to work with 12/17. Not to mention you would shut up alot of redundant posts I know we all get tired of seeing =). BTW, can there be a sticky or main post just saying "Don't ask when new emu will be out, or you will be banned until your great-grandchildren die"? Is that too forward? =)

Anyway, It will be a sad day indead when the last EQ1 emu comes out...........=(. I guess all things must come to an end.

[mattmeck]

Its stated all over that we dont give status reports and there is no ETA, if you want a statuus report pull the most recient code off CVS and look at whats still broke.

BTW, can there be a sticky or main post just saying "Don't ask when new emu will be out, or you will be banned until your great-grandchildren die"? Is that too forward? =)

If stating it in 500 places, and the fact that people dont bother to read stickys hence why so many people get banned for posting warez, what makes you think this would work?

[Knight Errant]
