Highpass Hold
I was a little bit disappointed to revisit this zone after a decade and see it revamped with my SoD client.
The orcs there look almost like WoW orcs now, that just doesnt fit EQ style... Is there a way to change at least the gnoll and orc models back to the old world ones? |
Yeah, you just need to change the races in the database for that zone, and then you probably need to adjust your highpass_chr.txt file (or whatever the zone is named) to add in the old races. Most likely, you can just copy the file from an older install to have the old races available.

Great, will try that out. Thanks alot!

Hmm, there are 3 zones in the database:
highpass highpasshold (the new one) oldhighpass I tried to /zone to the other 2, but for '/zone highpass' I get an error I need to enter a valid zone name. Zoning to oldhighpass works, but it rather looks like highkeep to me, but an empty, unfinished version of it. Dunno which database entry I need for reference now to change the mobs of new HPH back to the old ones. |

So highpass is the real old zone, not oldhighpass? Well, obviously not, else it wouldnt be emtpy...
I already got you on the .txt file changes, I just wasnt sure which database entry to take as a source for my edits. EDIT: highpass_chr.txt doesnt exist in my titanium folder! |

I am not too hip on these either. They are not much like any other character model in even the newer zones. They are rounded, and cartoon-like. WTF were they thinking letting these into the game ? |
I am about to give up. I dug up an oldhighpass_chr.txt, but it has 20 entries in it. The new highpasshold_chr.txt got 6...so I guess I cant just copy and rename the old one without strange results.
Second problem I cant find any of the names of the txt files in the database. Neither gnl nor any other npc codes, just full names. Need more input ;) |
A clean titanium install should have all of the correct files because these zones work just fine on P99 and there are no changes required to highpass files for the clients to play there.
As for the DB entries, I have no idea as I have never tried it out on my test server. edit: A quick DB query shows highpass, highkeep as the correct zones on my server with the new highpasskeep locked with a min status of 80 in the default 1751 DB. They are both expansion 1 and zoneidnumber = 5 and 6 Code:
select * from zone where long_name like '%high%'; |
I tried a clean Titanium as well as a fresh RoK install, but no highpass_chr.txt. Only highpass_chr.s3d...
I can't edit the database as long as I dont know how its connected with the clients txt files. :( |
This is a Couple of Query's to change all NEW orcs on your server and NEW goblins on your server to the OLD versions.
DO NOT RUN THIS UNLESS YOUR SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT: (This will change all the new Goblins and Orcs into the old one on your ENTIRE server) Code:
UPDATE `npc_types` SET `race` = '54' WHERE `race` = '458'; |
are you sure this works without changing anything on client side?
|
No client changes are needed, this should work just fine .. But keep in mind this is going to do all the orcs and goblins in every single zone everywhere.
If you just want to be zone specific, well that's a bit more complicated. But essentially it would look like this Code:

Thats great, thanks mate!
