[liquest]

[Noport]

Downloading New Lauchpad 4 Client updating VoA It's not broke yet they fixed it New Client size is 8,311 MB 80) one client for all that will solve alot of problems.

[Caryatis]

haha Noport you just have no clue.

[Noport]

Downlaoded new Voa client plus all missing client files plus all extracted zones plus mapfiend downloaded all maps New full clinet 9.37GB 9,244 Files 57 Folders nope i don't have a clue 80)

[Caryatis]

relevant...

[Sourdough35]

So does that mean the smart thing to do would be to download the new client on F2P launch day and make a backup copy to wait for EQEmu compatibility to catch up to it? It sounds like the plan, if possible, is for EQEmu to base compatibility off whatever the new client is.

[sorvani]

There is 0 point in downloading a live client for anything other than playing on live. I didn't think the above picture was all that hard to get.

Contrary to Noport's posts, there is no such thing as a VoA client available to be downloaded. There is the default Steam client (unpatched), which basically Underfoot with the HoT zones in the download. Or there is the Live client. One is fixed in a specific point of time and can be developed against based on the opcodes etc. One is an ever changing client with opcodes that can change at SOny's whim, which is pointless to develop against.

[BooPlumb]

I agree with the no reason to download the live thing, but at least Noport seems to want and try and to progress the emulator. IDK if you guys have ever heard the phrase "if you don't have anything nice o say don't say it at all'. Sure some people are doing things that are useless atm but at least is shows his interest

[sorvani]

Giving out inaccurate information is not helping progress and only confuses people who do not know better.

[Sourdough35]

Sorry, I may have been unclear. I wasn't suggesting to download the live client when it goes free to play. I meant, assuming it is available updated on steam when it goes free to play, the steam download would, presumably, have all of the content in it. So what I'm suggesting is to download the steam client when everything goes free to play as an easy means of accessing the client. Hopefully it would have everything up through HoT, since the F2P setup says it provides access to all those expansions.

[lerxst2112]

Until the downloads available on Steam change it's really pointless to speculate what they will contain or if the emulator will be changed to update any new available download.

[Noport]

I known nothing how is pointless and clueless and speachless
believe how you think is correct 80)

I'm happy for you Noport, but you realize that what you do on your own private server with your own private source of clients makes no difference to anyone else right? Until there's an updated client that everyone can download easily it means nothing.

[liquest]

^^ honestly have to agree with him instead on making your own source why not talk to the Emulator team and hop on board make the eqemu better in general have a legit up to live expansion server where everyone is gold status instead of this stupid silver/copper stuff
