Sounds like there are a lot of conflicting interests in this post anyhow I don't see much agreement.

Since Milestone 1 is Classic, no matter what you're using a newer client. I actually tried to get Classic working from my original CD and couldn't get it working in anything newer than Win98SE, and my attempts to set up a VM with 3D support under Win98SE failed, the oldest Windoze with the right drivers is XP which doesn't support the old DirectX. Although thinking about it it might work under WINE!

To me there's some solid justification in using Titanium, since it works in modern OSs, and will likely do so for some time. Also, as I understand it zones like Highpass are hard coded to be the revamped zones in newer clients so there's no way to get a classic HP unless you use an older client. Happy to be corrected on this!

Also with DBG recognizing/supporting P99, I feel a downloadable Titanium client seems the most likely scenario for getting a fully legal licensed version of EQ so the barrier to entry for EQEMU is substantially lowered.

Finally with Titanium, there's a lot less crap to disable!

The original disc client won't work but trilogy does. Titanium still requires modification to revert some model changes made over the years.

trilogy



versus titanium



Taken on windows 7 by the way.

I haven't had a Trilogy set for years, but they're super cheap on eBay so I ordered one to play with, thanks! Even less crap to disable! -- Mg

Cool, unfortunately I don't think there are many public code bases you will find that support trilogy at the moment.

This first one is based on the trilogy client:
https://github.com/erfg12/EQTrilogy-Old

This is based on the mac client, but the netcode base is what you want, the opcodes and structures would have to be corrected, this requires a lot of programming knowledge
https://github.com/EQMacEmu/Server/

I am working off of my own code base which is a customized version of eqemu base back in 2k11. Still have a ways to go before Trilogy is working (zone server) on my server alongside other clients.

After some poking around I discovered that EQTrilogy-old was non-working but OpenEQC actually got some code working with the Trilogy client. See:

https://github.com/randy-girard/OpenEQC

I also found a Trilogy client so I'm messing around with it. Anyone know anything about OpenEQC?

Not sure what you mean it is 'non-working'. Any person attempting to get Trilogy working is going to have to do some dev work, there isn't nearly as much work done to understand these older clients as say titanium. But this source does have the right netcode, opcodes and structures for the basics.

Nevermind we posted at the same time and you answered the question
