Obtaining UF+ icon/wep graphics on UF client

[yz125]

I am curious to know if this is at all a possibility, and how difficult it would be about doing so. I have an up to date live client that I can get the required files from. I'm wondering if anyone has tried to do this since KMRA did it with an older client that showed icon/weapon graphics from a later expansion.

Trying to see if maybe I can copy the files from my live folder to my UF folder. To be able to see RoF, or even CotF icon/weapon graphics.

Thanks in advance.

everquest\uifiles\default --> get all the dragitem(1-181 or whatever is current highest value).dds from live and drop into this folder.
Can't remember but probably need to search the live install for *equip.eqg in the root everquest folder, copy those to the emu install and probably also need to add them to the GlobalLoad.txt in everquest\Resources
Been awhile since I have touched this and others can confirm/deny any aspect of my response.
Edit EQUI_Animations.xml, this is a copy of one of my underfoot installs I use on emu

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! Does your HoT+ weapon/shield graphic particles show up?

When I play I box 12+ on most servers and have all particles off, I believe they do but its been over a year since I had particles on.

Hmm. I can see the weapon and shield particles just fine up to UF. I've noticed in some other topics, other people are having the same problem as I.

http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32835&highlight=weapons was a great tutorial. I have your EQUI xml, and all other info that was posted in the correct spots.

I am using:
2,0,TFFFE,hotequip.eqg,Loading HOT Character Equipment Files
2,0,TFFFE,voaequip.eqg,Loading VOA Character Equipment Files
2,0,TFFFE,rofequip.eqg,Loading ROF Character Equipment Files
2,0,TFFFE,hofequip.eqg,Loading HOF Character Equipment Files
2,0,TFFFE,hofequip4hof.eqg,Loading HOF Character Equipment Files
2,0,TFFFE,cotfequip.eqg,Loading COTF Character Equipment Files

So not sure why the particles aren't working.. =/

Ok so... nevermind. The more I look into this, the more I learn that it's the specific client used to show weapon particles. Ex. UF won't show UF+ particles, RoF won't show RoF+ particles.

Particles go outside the useable range of IDs.. if someone knew how to change that.. they would probably show up.... but if its hard coded then I guess we are boned :(



EDIT


Found it!!! Get a live account and download it... then search for *.edd

There should be 3 files ..... actoeremittersnew.edd , enviromentemittersnew.edd, spellsnew.edd

I used the live ones to replace the UF ones BUT make sure to backup the old ones just incase ...

I copied all the missing files from the Live download into my UF EQEMU folder and BINGO I can see the particles on RoF weapons :)


These weapons look SEXY as hell lol ... I also have the new weapons from the newest expansion they look BADASS

One last edit... looks like you can also update all icons up to COTF as well!

RoF icon / graphic / particles on sword ...
COTF icon / graphic / particles on shield... woot!

All on UF client!

Rain of fear has files named hof, not sure why.

The 3 folders... ActorEffects, EnvEmitterEffects and SpellEffects need the live files that are missing to see some of the particles as well FYI! :)

[yz125]

Everything works now. Every weapon/shield graphic & particle works, UF to and including CotF. Thank you so much!!

HoF is the t4 of the expansion which was released as a second part of the RoF expansion. So you can use rofequip, and hofequip.

This is definitely sweet. Thanks a ton for the information on how to get this patched together. Very quick and easy. I am also currently running the UF client, now patched with the CotF graphics/icons.
