Anyone got an old database?

[TacoBiscuit]

I would love to have a Ruins of Kunark, Scars of Velious, Shadows of Luclin, or Planes of Power database to put on my server, can anyone help me and link a database that runs the expansions above? Thanks in advance. :D

[caravellex]

I think that the PEQ database that comes with the simple server installer comes with those expansions!

Yeah, but the PEQ database is in the Omens of War Expansion. And that isn't in the era I want my server in, the earlier expansions were more challenging and difficult than the newer ones, so I can't use the current version of PEQ for my server.

I am also interested in a legacy database, Pre Kunark would be amazing...

Everyone is interested in a classic database, but not a single person is willing to do the work necessary.

Don't worry, I am!

Well, I hope you are capable of setting it up. :)

Wasn't there an older version of the PEQ database that was classic, Kunark, Velious, Luclin, or Planes of Power?

[Kingly_Krab]

There were older databases, but they included items and drops far beyond that of one particular era. We're currently up to Omens of War for actual 100 percent done content as far as I'm aware. If you're interested in making a classic or progression locked server, you'll have to do most of the work yourself, as those that have already done the work are usually not willing to give free hand outs to the lazy.

Kingly says it best. This "can of worms" has been opened and closed many times on these forums. There has never been
a "classic" database with ALL the work done to it, put up to be shared with the public. I'm not lazy on a keyboard, but
gathering all the info involved, (items, loot, spawns, etc.), from an era like that, I'm not prepared to do it myself. I don't
have the memory for a lot of it, so I would have no choice but to spend eons of time trying to find it all. I like to be
helpful, but not THAT helpful, lol

I've been working toward this very thing for quite a while now. It's not trivial, nor do I think you're going to find anybody to do all the work and release a DB for public consumption. Otherwise I suspect it'd have been done by now.

[Lane]

You’re aware you can limit the expansions right? Granted you will have to go through a lot of items and other dB entries and remove, it definitely can be done with the PEQ DB

[N0ctrnl]

Limiting the expansions is just the start. The very start. Tuning encounters, reverting zones, cleaning up out of era items, skills, spells, etc. There's a lot to it.

I found a solution, not the best one, but it can help me get off the ground, "YardDoggs PEQ Luclin Database", I have been using this for a day now, but the boats won't work. Any way I can enable them?

Here is his link to his Database: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41593

[minijag]

Your best bet is to use a teleporter. I think there are extermely technical reasons why the boats dont work, even p99's boats are shit, and not at all the way classic worked.

It seems that the link for the db has failed.

[kris1]

It's not that no one wants to put in the work, it's that for every person that knows how, there are 100 that want it. That and they won't let you box on p99 (which is entirely lame, and inaccurate for the time frame they are in). I'm not greedy...I would love to pay for that which i do not know how to do. I just don't want people telling me how to play.

[Nightrider84]

The boats are a nightmare to begin with. The problem is there is a direct3d issue with the old boat model used which causes no collision with the boats. The only fix for the boats that i've found is the workaround I did initially.

http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38515&highlight=boat+guide

There are a few more posts in there that have more info on how other people got the boats working better than I did. So I would read that through.

Also on a side note, making a classic server like your talking about takes alot of time. Even with a team working on P99 it took them forever to get things working right and they still patch and make tweaks.

An easy starting point for a more classic experience is to disable all the revamped zones, Turn off the tutorial, and change the starting zones for all the races to the original home towns based on their race/class choice.

[HuginnNavarita]

EXCELLENT suggestion Nightrider84,

I like your simple idea of a classic feeling, and you made me spill my coffee with the direct3D model comment haha how I remember it was buggy back in the days, and love your boat+guide, will be fun to mess with this, THX!

[Nightrider84]

Here is the guide I made (never posted) about how to get the classic servers to load on your client once you made the changes server side.

You're Welcome =P

Required for Classic zones to load.

Remove all Misty_thicket files and Toxxulia files.

Only remove nektulos files and lavastorm files with the same name that aren't in this list.

Any zone files that you don't have in this list may be aquired through the Titanium and SOF/SOD clients.

I recommend getting the files through titanium first before getting the remaining files from other clients



Lavastorm.s3d
Lavastorm_chr.txt
Lavastorm_chr.s3d
Lavastorm_obj.s3d
Lavastorm_sndbank.eff
Lavastorm_sounds.eff

Misty.s3d
Misty_chr.s3d
Misty_chr.txt
Misty_obj.s3d
Misty_sndbnk.eff
Misty_sounds.eff

Nektulos.emt
nektulos.s3d
Nektulos_chr.txt
Nektulos_chr.s3d
Nektulos_obj.s3d
Nektulos_obj1.eqg
Nektulos_soundbank.eff
Nektulos_sounds.eff

Tox.s3d
Tox.xmi
Tox_chr.txt
Tox_chr.s3d
Tox_obj.s3d
Tox_sndbnk.eff
Tox_sounds.eff

In case underfoot is your client that you're using.

Files Needed for Underfoot to run correctly with the server.

I get that servers like P99 cannot sell access to the server, because it's a replication of someone else's property. But their DB is not. It's theirs. EQ didn't use that kind of DB. I sincerely think they would be well within their providence to sell their SQL. As someone with well over $1000 in donors on THF, I would not think twice about paying at least $500 for it. $1000 if I could get one for vanilla, one then including Kunark, and then one including up to Velious.

[kris1]

Nightrider84...WOW...sweet.
