Problems in Bosnia

maddmaxx72 · #1 05-05-2002, 08:28 PM

I used the search function and couldn't find an answer to my problem on here...if there is one I'm sorry to be reposting it. I have been trolling these boards for awhile and if there is a place to get me up and running this is it. I'm in the Army and stationed in Bosnia for a few months. I am going through some serious withdrawls here. After coing across this site I got very excited that there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. I am allowed VERY limited access to the internet here....and there lies my biggest problem. I have my computer linked to my friends through a hub. I have read the info here about LAN play and got it figured out. My problem is that I can't patch my game to get the newest version. I have tried several times but the internet security guys here are kinda paranoid and won't let me connect to the patch server. Is there anyway I can side step this step. I was thinking that if someone knows which files get updated with the patch that I could possibly find someone to copy those files to a web site / FTP and then I could download them...replace the old ones...and then the game would be patched. Does this seem llike it would work...or am I just ass out? Hopefully I can get this thing going with some help from you guys. Thanks for taking the time to read this...and hopefully post on it.

You can access all Patchfiles this Way:

http://64.37.156.21:7000/patch/everq...st-changes.xml

Just modify the Path to access each and every single File.

I went there and it looks like an unfinished XML file. I am not sure how to go about getting the files off the site. Any help?

Based on this XML File the EQ Patcher will check which Files are needed... if you wan't to access particular Files you have to modify the URL as shown in the XML File... e.g. if you wan't the Velious Files search for Velious in the XML and you will find this:

So the new Path will be http://64.37.156.21:7000/patch/everquest/velious/<filename>
where Filename is one of the Names listed below the Distribution Header, e.g.

so the full URL to download the Wakening Lands is http://64.37.156.21:7000/patch/everq...akening.s3d.gz

Have Fun
