Idea for fix EQ and get ride of the patch server for good
I am not much of a coder but i do know alittle, I have an idea to help out eqemu..
is there a way to make a new everquest.exe or eqgame.exe and code the world.exe zone.exe into it so when you open everquest it loads all the items, sounds, textures ect... and get ride of mysql and just have a small files it download from the servers
and once you download it, it will combine it into 1 file called something like this (66.66.66.66Database.eqdb)
The IP of the server then the database name and eqdb for the file name so everquest will know what to load
yea i know the files sizes are big but you would only have to download it 1 time or when ever it has been changed or 1 time per server you join and the only thing that the server would do is just send out the info like NPC locs and PC loc
now i know you wont beable to code this scrach but i was thinking if we and EverQuest off of the unreal engen they have the souce code out for he unreal gold engen this is just alittle bit as you can see it is a choppy idea but i know how to get it to work just i cant code to well
reply if you think this is a good idea or if you got something better
and please post about how stupied this is just post why you tink it is a good idea or a bad idea
