a few questions from someone new to EQ and EQemu
Hello, I just found out about this project and am quite interested, I have a few questions though if no-one minds, they are:
1. What exactly is a progression server? Have seen it mentioned several times before 2. Are there any good solo progression server repacks? I want to make a LAN server for me and my brother, but want to make it staggered 3. Which client is the Steam FTP one in the titanium/UF etc list? 4. (more of a generalisation) what is the bandwidth usage of EQ normally? Just in case I can't make my own server for LAN/offline play. thank you very much, really eager to get into EQ |
Code:
1. What exactly is a progression server? Have seen it mentioned several times before 2. Nope. 3. RoF2 is the current up to date client. You will not be able to use the live f2p client. You can sail the seas for the client though. 4. It literally takes nothing. Upwards of 70 people on my server daily and I burst to 3mbps up MAYBE. |
Thanks for the quick response, I noticed Akka's installer, could I make that into a progression server at all? How hard would it be? Thanks again

The "progression" part is easy. Just turn off expansions until you're ready for them. Getting the content back to an older state is much more challenging, however.

It's more of a buried treasure chest.

The old method was to set the expansions value in the variable table. The current value for that is 16383 which you get by using 2^N -1 where N is the expansion number. That particular method doesn't appear to have been updated for quite some time now.
Another method is to set min_level or min_status in the zone table then update it or change it whenever the players complete a specific task. This method will probably use quest_globals or heavy scripting It may be possible to accomplish this by other methods as well. |

I know how to make minor changes to the source code but I usually get in over my head really quickly. You can use Visual Studio to edit the source and compile your own binaries. Not sure what the most commonly used version is atm. The database can be altered through command line or with something along the lines of Navicat or HeidiSQL.
