Clients which is best for use?
I know this sometimes comes down to opinion, I have tested Titanium and it works but has a few quarks like if playing a ranger and using tracking you get disconnected because your tracking list showed up empty.
I tried ROF2 and it has an issue with the elevators in Greater Faydark. You can ride the elevators down but if you get on them from the ground when it starts going up you fall thru to the ground. I know ROF2 is a newer client and actually liked the look of it and it has some improved graphics. I tried Wayfarers Havens Version and could not get it to connect to the network on login. I used my eqhost file from Titanium and it just sat there saying connecting. So basically I am looking for advice on the clients to use with the server. Another question is also if you use ROF2 what patch if any did you use? |

It's generally best to use which-ever client is suited to whatever server you are playing on.
Check your specific server's forum or ask the players in game. This forum is not specific to any server, this is the emulator project as a whole forum. |
I amusing the Akk's Linux Install Eqemulator version, what is best paired with it?
|
RoF2. For any of the recent builds by Akk, be it Windows - Linux - Mac - it's going to be that one, including the docker stack.

The reason I ask is I can do everything but in Kelethin when I get on the elevator with this client the character falls thru the elevator. Is it missing an update to the client ?

Each client version (Titanium, SoF, UF, Rof, etc) also comes with their own individual perks and quirks in the way they integrate with the server. This all has to do with the fact that the main EQEmu (project) devs/teams cannot/will not "hack the client files" to accomplish their goals with the PEQ project. The individual server owner would be acting on their own accord on how to handle those scenarios. Example - Using the old highpass with the RoF2 client is doable, but you're on your own to make it work. (or find help in the community for it). What it all boils down to, as you run into all the various bugs, you will have to decide which client would better suit YOUR needs and preferences for a server. People hate Titanium, for some performance reasons and other people will love Rof2 for it's QoL features, etc, but will also come with trying to make some things work, that you wouldn't have to in Titanium.(and vise-versa). If you see something broken (or not functioning properly), you need to fix it or, find a workaround for it. Something I did in the past with RoF2 client and that "elevator" in Gfay (a quick fix) was a simple port script on an NPC, which put your toon up where the elevator normally takes you: Code:

In reality I am an IT guy that setups networks and equipment and scripts things to accomplish my goals. I am in no way a programmer, wish I had taken it further than cobol and pascal. I have not worked with that in over 20 years. If I knew how to fix these issues for the clients I would. I guess the mystical thing is that in Titanium the lifts are fine and in ROF2 the character falls thru even on servers that support ROF2 as their only client. So it has to be something between client and eqemu that is not sinking. You can ride the lifts down but not up when using ROF2. So it will be Titanium. I set the server up as a place to just have some fun. Again thanks. |

Later, once I upgrade my server hardware, I plan to do massive changes to my server (like deleting all post-Titanium content from the PEQ, etc. to clean it up and save room). I also have a lot of personal stuff that I added. |
