*EQClassic* Re-Mix
Initial goal: To create a true classic (no expansions) Everquest Database which will work with the current EQ EMU.
- To make this database available for everyone as well. Far reaching Goals: To establish a classic server and host GM events with raiding and new quests to keep players busy. I would like to ask people to help me remove and adjust things by messaging me or doing /petition in the game. I have a daily goal of accomplishing a certain amount of fixes and will be checking /petition regularly. I am currently staring at the LDoN camp and staring at the doors and objects in the database struggling to figure out what to remove. (HELP) --------------Updates-------------- 5-9-10 Greater Faydark - Removed Faerik Windrunner Greater Faydark - Removed Nexus Scion Greater Faydark - Removed Seana Marsinger Greater Faydark - Removed Stefan Marsinger Greater Faydark - Removed Niflel Faliwae Greater Faydark - Removed Enyaanuia Windancer North Felwithe - Removed Larroniae Huial South Felwithe - Removed Thwinose Vilgarn (Global) - Fixed Priest of Discord to always have staff equipped (Global) - Changed start item lantern to Tome of Discord Nektulos - Renamed a pyre beetle to fire beetle Nektulos - Removed bad drops from fire beetle Kaladima - Removed Kennelia Gwieal Kaladima - Bronlor Lightblade was about 10 levels too high 5-10-10 ---------- Butcherblock - Removed Mimzit Furnov Butcherblock - Removed Gaellane Ivyweaver Butcherblock - Removed Jilsuia Lluarea Butcherblock - Removed Magus Tira Butcherblock - Removed Vual Stoutest (Global) - Removed POKTELE500 (POK BOOKS) (Yeah I know that should have been the first thing LOL) Gukbottom - Evil Eye drops manastone Gukbottom - Assassin drops guise of the deciever Najena - Drelzna drops J-Boots |
It isn't clear which database you are using as a base, but I suggest you have a look at the ax classic database (if you haven't already).
http://www.nahunta.org/~eqemu/ Even better, contribute the changes you make back into the project. Project1999 has the most accurate classic database, but it is not available for public use. You can, however, review their dev/change logs to get a general idea on things you would need to be working on. Classic data gets harder to come by with each passing day, and requires some reliance on the fallible human memory. I wish you the best of luck. |
well it took P99 devs almost a YEAR to tune PEQ DB into Classic DB, and they had half a dozen people on the team...
If you working alone... this may take you a more than a couple years =) |
This project is mostly removing a LOT of the content and garbage that was added in over the years. I have a list on one of my dusty hard drives of all of the newbie quests items + quest givers. I'll try to dig it up for you.
Edit: I found it, it was scavenged from VTZek's old forums a long long time ago. Newbie Armor Items - Originally Posted by Baldor Code:

Don't start wiping players characters early in the game because you've discovered a mysterious mob dropping time gear. |

They are indifferent on project 1999 as well and I kind of remember them being KOS. |
They are supposed to be kos and I don't care what ANYONE says, the decaying skeletons in all newbie areas were NEVER kos in classic eq. They were always indifferent.
|
Update: Drowned Citizens are now KOS..... I remember "exploring" in my noobie days and falling in the dark water and not doing ANYTHING and getting WOMPED... =D
Are you sure? I'm not really certain. I remember pulling skeletons back in the day and some were definitely kos... but maybe not all of them Anyway I may not get much more done tonight, I did enough for one day including the whole actual spawning of Khrix's Abomination for the eru cleric shield quest. (but the abomination spawns at carpet instead of in the little room behind Khrix cause I thought that made more sense... and I made it slightly more impressive. ::wink:: |
Skeletons were always KoS but decaying skeletons (level 1 - 2) were not. There were some skeletons at that cave entrance in Toxx that were KoS however. I don't remember if they were decaying or not.
|
Bah, I had to work overtime at work yesterday so I was too tired to do anything with the server. =( I'll have to make up for it after work today.

Quote:
The skeletons to Paineel entrance were on Eru sk/necro factions, not everyone was kos. The zone origonally (well, ok origionally it wasnt even there, but..) just set you back to the entrance of it w/o any mobs there. Then before the zones opened up, the skeltons were added as a warning for players to be careful entering once it was available. |
looking forward to this when it's done. Are you going to disable luclin models? that would be cool if you do.

Having a tornado in the area with this server right now may have issues!!!!!!
question, do you guys remember small rawhide dropping in Crushbone in classic? I don't, I think either it was just from the emperor or it was added later....? |
sorry not much has been happening these past few days
5-14-10
---------- East Commons - a black wolf no longer drops uber tons of loot at a time. East Commons - Removed Coyote Skull from a black wolf East Commons - Removed Shadow Wolf Paw from a black wolf East Commons - Removed Black Wolf Tooth from a black wolf East Commons - Removed Empty Lootdrop (most likely calcified bones noob loot) East Commons - Removed Leather Boots from a decaying skeleton loot table East Commons - Removed Rusty Ulak from a decaying skeleton loot table East Commons - Modified Bone chip drop rate on a decaying skeleton East Commons - Removed Woven Spider Silk from a large spider loot table (noob quest item) East Commons - Lord Shin Ree was loot tableless.. added loot table. 5-15-10 ---------- East Freeport - Removed drop, Rat foot from a large rat East Freeport - Removed drop, Ray eye from a large rat East Freeport - Removed drop, Rat tooth from a large rat East Freeport - Removed drop, Plague rat tail from a large rat I don't remember them dropping those rat tails anyway although I think I remember seeing them in either tox or steamfont... or both? |
Plague rat tails were added sometime later, maybe luclin release?
|
So they shouldn't drop period anywhere? ah.....
I really need more help on this, I only have two people so far, the more the better because it sure can be hard to remember everything 100%. Also I will still be going public with the database but it needs so much work and has so much crap it shouldn't so it's not really appropriate to make it available yet. Exp on the server is not as slow as real classic right now which is a bonus for those that are helping out finding stuff. =) |
5-16-10

It would be really nice if there wasa list somewhere of what NPC's, mobs, quests and items were added or removed with each expansion.

I started this exact project a few months back, although I was trying to create up to velious. I had a bunch of sql files that do some modifications that might help you. Of course, I didn't get close to finising either, and im not sure how much different my changes would be to yours.
Let me know if you are interested |
Could probably help out I think.

Butcherblock - a rock spiderling lootdrop legs changed to spiderling legs 5-23-10 ----------- (GLOBAL/MISC) - Removed all Nexus Scion from the database Tox - Removed npc Ilisiv Gantrau (LDoN era) (GLOBAL/MISC.) - Spell scrolls are no longer stackable (GLOBAL/MISC.) - Fixed all items that were 20+ stackable |

Bring the server down for a little for some updates.
Just to let people know I can now be reached by E-mail and AIM with regards to the server.... E-Mail: eqclassic@post.com AIM screen name: EQClassicRemix |
I foresee myself backing up all the ancient EQ database things that players want to keep for classic servers...Another backup is better then another data loss.

Illegal activity
The server was down for a while because for some reason my hosting along with my home internet was turned off due to illegal activity. It took me 5-7 days to get new hosting and switch to a new cable company at home.
They actually turned off my home connection around 7pm due to illegal music downloads. The whole issue has it's roots originally with the police which have been monitoring my internet and contacted these hosting services which caused the hosting services to start spying on me. No, I will not tell you why the police were interested in me. :rolleyes: I would have posted sooner but I had no access to any internet for a time. (I have a 3G internet card but I never get any service with that either at least in my home and having to go park my car somewhere with my laptop just so I can get a wireless connection was too much work for me.) |
DO you guys know where Talorial D`Estalian' is?

Scary days for noobs back in pre kunark era...
I remember playing my first eq days in steamfont.. everything that did not con green was KOS. It Took me a freaking month to get 5 levels, my wizard had to "meditate" for 30 minutes to get a full mana bar. EQ at that time had a hard on for unsuspecting noobs, even guards and merchants would kill you after a few "beg's". That was my first death as I remember when I logged in for the first time and saw the beg button so I figured this guys in shiny armor would be compasionate so 5 begs later my avatar had it's first corpse run.
