Drakkin Race/SOD/SOF zones

[Nacl2]

First of all yes I realize this very well may end up in the Idiot posters section but here goes....

Thanks for all your hard work on getting all this going. I also know that SOD is still getting worked on. Not trying to be over zelous. If i need to wait longer so be it and no problems here waiting

I went from TI version of the game to the steam download of SOD. I did not play or get the SOF game. I can log in with both and the only problem i have or see is that with the SOD "which I figured would include SOF files" I cannot enter any SOF zones or make Drakkin race. Do I need to get SOF as well as SOD? And steam when I got SOD said SOF and SOD but it is a duplicate that is added in to SOD Download.

Again sorry if this is going to wrong place or if I am a total idiot. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again for getting this all going guys.

The SoD download from Steam contained all previous expansions and the base game so you should be able to zone to where ever you want to. That is assuming you are a Admin/GM of the server that you are playing on. If you are on someone elses server you may want to talk with a Admin/GM about which expansions and zones are available on that server.

If you run your own server just use the #zone shortname and you can go any where you want. Drakkin should be available if SoF is enabled but given what you said it probably isn't. Expansion configuration can be done in the variables table. Use this list to help determine how you want it set: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...iables#setting

Check your variables table and set the field "Expansions" to "32767". That should enable the client to use all zones up through SoD and also the Drakkin race.

Well I am playing on projecteq.net server. I am pretty sure they have SOF enabled. I cannot login to Eqemulator.net with SOD with port set to 5998 or 5999. I can with Titanium though. I know it is still buggy using the SOD.
I havent gotten my own server working with SOD yet but havent really messed with it too much yet. Was waiting for new PEQ database to come out.
Unless you can think of something else I can try, I will wait to see what happens and in the mean time play without Drakkin capabilities. Maybe try to get my private server on lan to accept the SOD client.

Thanks for the quick responses.

When said I cannot load to SOF zones it tells me at character select I cannot use Cresent Reach as a start city because I do not have expansion. Same with making a Drakkin. maybe that helps maybe not. /shrug again thanks.

BTW was this the proper place for this type of post?

Actually, since your post is specifically about the PEQ server, your thread should have been made there, not here.

The reason you are unable to access SoF or SoD zones, or use Drakkin is probably because PEQ only has content done up to LDoN currently, so the newer clients can't access the newer content there yet. Also, since LDoN did not have the Drakkin race, they probably have their expansion setting set to only go up to LDoN. Doing that will prevent accessing zones past that expansion and prevent you from using player races from later expansions, which is why you can't create a Drakkin.

You won't be able to use SoD through the EQEmu Public Login Server until Rogean gets it working with it. But, on PEQ, you should be able to connect with the SoD client if you connect via their private Login Server.

If you want to verify that you can actually access SoF content, you can create a character on Storm Haven using the SoF client and you will automatically start in Crescent Reach. But, you really don't need to bother even trying that, because I am sure it will work just fine.

Thanks for the information and that helps.

Only reason I tried to use PEQ's server was to check that it all worked LOL. Guess I should have made sure of what content they were running. I noticed they said you can log in with the SOD client, which I can, but didnt see that information.

Thank you greatly for taking time to let me know.

I am trying to set items in Db to be Drakkin usable,
the value of 65535 was ALL races (including shroud) pre-SoF, what is the new ALL value with Drakkin included?

Also, will this have any issues for Titanium users when the value will be hcanged to a higher number?

thanks!

The Drakkin just bumped the Shroud bit one higher. 0xFFFF (65535) is all 16 player races, with 0x8000 (32768) being the Drakkin bit specifically. The Shroud bit is 0x10000 as of TSS.

The Titanium client will see the 0x8000 bit as Shroud still. 0x10000 seems to get ignored, or is being masked out during the encode, I didn't check in the code.
Enchanted Mithril Dagger (id:84169), which has races 65536 (0x10000), shows up as Race: None on Titanium.
Elegant Crystalscale Cuirass (id:37359), which has races 32768 (0x8000), shows up as Race: Shroud on Titanium.

And PEQ, for instance, already has them that way. From what I can tell, about the only issue on TGC seems to be some people getting confused by what Shroud on the items is supposed to mean, for the rare cases where the race list includes them and isn't just a blanket ALL.

If you didn't do anything to the item import from eqitems you shouldn't need to adjust anything about the items table at all to let Drakkin wear all the armor they could on live.
