Still Screwed?
 

Because Windows XP is stupid and gay, I have to reformat my computer if it shuts down improperly, so ergo I have to reinstall EQ and patch to live to play on live..I used to have them in two seperate folders, didn't patch for the EQEMu folder..but I had to reformat my computer a few days ago.

I thought I read something about some servers I will be able to play on since I patched to live, is there a way I can play on any emu server or am I still screwed?

Thanks,

You can play winters roar even if you patched. You may also get EQEmu working if youget the scorpious2k patcher. cant link tho, sorry./

Yeah, I recommend patching to live then downloading the scorpious2k patch, look in his profile for a link.

Try the various patchers like others have suggested. If that doesn't work then yes, you're screwed.

Ok cool, another question..are there any non or semi-legit servers around? at least one where I can use #summonitem? I tried WR and it's a good idea and all, but if i wanted to start from scratch i'd make a new character and not twink him on live =P

The only one i know of is saltyboogers.

And btw, your argument: "if i wanted to play legit i'd play on live" really gets old. Go pay and play on live then, i'm sure sony would love your $12 a month. Nuff said.

Bobby's World is also non-legit.

i do play on live, the only reason i play emu is so i can summon some god gear that i wont be seeing for the next month or so, i dont feel like starting fresh on a new server if i can do that on live

We always need more collectors who have live accounts to collect named mobs for our database. If you are interested, you can check out the howto section. )

can someone tell me what "Right click on the newly created icon and select "Properties" on the menu.

In the Properties window that pops up, find the Target field on the Shortcut tab.

At the end of the text in this field, add a space with the space bar and then type in the word patchme." means?

Maybe this will help:

ill take a look into collecting..but in the mean time, does anyone know a server with at least #search and #summonitem? dont even need the former, but that's all im really looking for, is it too much to ask? =p

Two were already named. what more do you ask man.

what more do i ask? back when i first started eqemu all the servers were non-legit..thats what i ask =P

people play them for a day then get bored with them.

Custom servers much more fun than non-legit. It's fun to #summon stuff for an hour or two once a week and go solo a mob that would take 60 people on live, but gets old. I've been playing scorpious2k and it's pretty fun, be very fun if I didn't crash on every zone :)

i tried the scorpious2k patcher but it doesnt seem to work can someon etell me where i can get a diff patcher or something

no

help on patch placement
 

i have those patches on a CD that my friend gave me, do i just drop them in my EQ folder or what...

yes whatever is on the CD you have to put in your EQ folder

thx ill try it, ill probally have more questions later :oops:

well there should be more servers for the casual eqemu player, i dont feel like re-earning stuff on emu =P

im having trouble getting into normal EQ, it says "this application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem." i tried re-installing EQ but it still has the same problem. what do i do now?

Did you patch EQ to current state?

yeah i have and it still says im missing it, i dunno why tho

Do a google for d3d9.dll and look for the link under the domain dll-files.com or something similar. Download it and extract it into your EQ directory. Chances are youll get another error after that though.

At that point though, patcher should recognize it and re-patch it if you run it.

I like the non-legit servers. In fact I believe I will leave WR just to play on them all the time. I like to see what I didnt get to see on live and what I am not willing to waste my life to get. Is there something wrong with that? Nope...but I wouldnt say that everyone gets tired of the non-legits in 2 hours or even a day. I have been playing for three days. I have never had a lvl 65 or any AAs or anything of that nature. There are many problems but Saltyboogers is the only one right now. Thats all... :shock:

Try re-installing directx9 it might fix your problem.
