3-10-04 EQLive Patch

Shawn319 · #1 03-13-2004, 02:25 PM

As of 3-13-04, EQEmu (0.5.5) still works with the live patch. The patch on 3-10 didnt break anything major (if anything at all).

Remember: always backup your EverQuest directory before patching JUST IN CASE.

P.S.: The EQEmu Test Server is running 0.5.5-RC1 (Release Candidate 1) and should be available for release in the next few days. We need as many of you to log in and test this server as possible. Please reply all bugs to this thread.

Thanks, Shawn319

RC1 lets you log into an opensource server that enables the eq client to connect to it, thus emulating EverQuest for free.

Is there a way to just make a server 100% exactly like everquest server, all quests enabled and the same, npc's say the same thing, mobs have 100% same hp/ac as in reg eq, and all that? i know this isnt happenin, but i want to know the reasone why you cant steal all that data if you can steal the maps? Would be really cool if that could be possible in the future.

It's simple really.... yes this could be done... and it would take a ton of work (which is what many of the people in this project are busy doing now)

One problem is that there is a lot of data to enter... a VERY lot.
Another problem is that the data isn't always easy to obtain. Unfortunately, one can't simply "steal" the data (the maps are actually on your computer already... no one had to "steal" it) Some of the data can be collected by watching what the EQLive servers sends to your computer (ie. use a packet collecter) However, not all data is sent to you... some of it is done server side (mobs AC/ATK is one example of things not sent to you) So on these things, the world builders have to make educated guesses.

So, if you want something that is as fully populated as live, as well supported as live, and as accurate as live, well... play on live, it's the only way you're going to get that experience at this point in time.

I'm not sure if its just me, it only happens on this server though....i hope i did get the right forum, but it did say report bugs here..

Anyway, after about 30ish seconds of logging a character on to this server i get a client crash, anyone able to help??

Same here... within about 15-30 seconds after appearing at the dock in Oasis (login) the client crashes hard with a dialogue stating "The EQ client may have crashed... bleh, bleh, bleh... do you wish to send a report... bleh. YES/NO.
I'm sure the dialogue is generated by the client, and I didn't worry about the exact text because it's generic... no error code info.
I certainly wasn't about to select YES and have the client attempt to send SOE any error reports.
(Unless the info is requested... I can easily reproduce the crash).

Same bug here...except now im crashing the SECOND I should be able to see oasis after clicking enter world on character select. Before I would be in for about 30 seconds and bing bang boom crash. I don't have this problem on any other servers.
