I ran across this and thought I'd share. Call me overly-nostalgic but I miss these skeletons.

I wish we had the old wolves too. I searched for a picture and couldn't find one.

Another thing, were the spiders in Greater Faydark always modeled after black widows? I thought they were brown back in the day.

Don't take any of this the wrong way, I am extremely grateful to be able to play classic EQ again, you guys are saints. Project 1999 emulates the game in my early days remarkably well. The game's overall quality is unmatched.

I've heard people talking about this before, there's probably something obvious I am missing? They look the same to me?

The ones i've been fighting in Gfay look like the ones from the mid 2000s. Not like the newest EQ skeleton models. Am I bugged or something? They don't move their bodies when they walk either. They just slide across the ground

I think you may be bugged, the ones I see look like this and walk just as abnormally as they always did?

Question for you, is your load in screen the old one or does it have a werewolf on it? When I get the werewolf because I accidentally load up twice or something, all my spell icons are the new ones I assume other things in game may have different graphics as well?

Mine is the old one, if you get the Werewolf it can be changed most likely its due to having a different copy of Titanium from a Torrent site or playing on another EMU before P99

It's been the werewolf loadscreen every time. my spell icons are the old ones though. everything seems classic enough otherwise

you can fix this for sure

maybe try running duxa's all in one installer theres an option to just fix the non classic stuff

Just use the launcher, it fixes all of the files for you, loading screens and all.

GO INTO THE INI FILE...
SOMETHING PROBABLY LIKE
LUCLIN SKELETONS: ON...... change that to OFF
there is definitely one for ELEMENTALS.

Is the OP using EQ Titanium? Or some other version?

I know when I first started here back in 2010 that the skeletons were those horrible grey ones with the big hollowed out eyes.... horrible looking, but they have since been fixed.

Yep that's exactly the skeletons I had when I was first here. I'd definitely do a search for "duxa installer" and see if that fixes it.

Not sure who did the model creation for that particular skeleton variety but they should be shot... they'd look better as undead aliens in some failed sci-fi game.

I just re-installed EQ Titanium yesterday, and I have the old loading screen, music, and character models. I followed the guide on this website, as well as going into the options menu on the main EQ menu and deselecting all the check boxes for the different races. Hope that works.

I dunno. I used the launcher and got these models. Maybe duxas will work. I think those skellies were put in with Luclin. So they're pretty alien looking for sure

Installing with Duxa can and will give you the old models
