when the RAR. is done downloading extract it directly to your P99 directory then ingame turn the sound realism up all the way, to 100%. you will (hopefully) not be disappointed.
ENJOY!

I am trying to find some freefilesharing so I can give the player base this but I cant find any
if anyone has any suggestions, help would be awesome :)

[JayN]

the old sounds made the game imho, half of the game is its sound. Brings me back to my noobie days, love the music

[Bamz4l]

lets get er done

[drelk001]

I am not sure what the files are that change the sounds but I know that some of the game is glitchy and stuff. I am going to find out what is actually wrong with it.

[drelk001]

hello guys, So I have been playing with the files and stuff for a while. There is actually one thing wrong so far, at least that i can find! some item graphics are larger than usual, so far only torches and some epic items thats it. The classic sounds are all there and I ave even found some more stuff out about my file formula.
Sorry Telin , these files are the actual classic particles. what I mean by that is that the spells in this file formula (FF) the spell particles are coming straight from the classic EQ disc.

Human blindness is even more enhanced, they cannot see ANYTHING at night, but if you turn the gamma way up, you almost can see things.

If there are any items with a non-classic look with the normale P99 files stuff then it will look classic FOR SURE with this FF(file formula) same with the luclin textures, no where should you find a luclin textured zone.

I have been working on finding out if there is a way to just load P99 on the trilogy disc I own but so far I move the EQhost.txt and log in via EQW or an older version of the EQEmulauncher. so far I login and it crashes.

SO if anyone knows of a FREE filesharing program thingymubobbermunuminadoodoodahdoodoo then PM me!

You got the classic particles to work with titanium?

[drelk001]

You got the classic particles to work with titanium?
yeah! all I did was move the spells.EFF out of the EQclassic disc and replace the ones in the titanium directory with the files in the EQclassic disc ... to be honest I dont think this is ACTUALLY the classic spell effects, It may nuft be server default.
Like if you log into P99 and get a club, it doesnt have spikes, but you log into a different (Legit server) you will get club with spikes.

lol I actually read somewhere that thats a client thing

[NextGenesis88]

Don't you think Telin would have tried that already if it was that easy though? I don't think he would do all this work if it was and I don't think he would not have tried doing that. Just saying, but I did download it and I'll maybe try it out soon as long as I back up the files that will be replaced.

I think he tried it, make sure to get telins spell stuff when your done, just in case

[drelk001]

I removed the spell effects that I had on it, I have made a thread with a link to both mine and Telins projects, in one download. I HIGHLY suggest downloading this one instead of the one in this thread...

hows everyone liking the sounds?

[Rhun]

I like them. I like the P99 footsteps better, since they sound more realistic on grass, sand etc. But thats not a big deal.
Anyway, the volume of the rain sound is extremely loud. even louder than the dreaded thunder sound.
Is there any way to get that toned down?

[mtb tripper]

how did you get the persona part of your classic ui man? with the class symbol, etc.

[Danyelle]

I got this working by copying all the .eff and .xmi files out of the Trilogy client into the Titanium client (of which several of both had been removed and didn't even exist in Titanium to overwrite). Old sounds everywhere!

same one?

[drelk001]

anyone having problems with the sounds or whatever?

[drelk001]

Works great for me!

Just used the sound files from your package and kept the spell effect files from the P99 update files rather than using the ones (assuming possibly outdated from Telin) that are packaged with your zip.

I ont know howto remove a thread or I would have removed that one. I am trying to get this project a bit more popular, I figured is I teamed up with Duxa or Telin it would be cool.

I just added this to the P99 wiki

The original midi music files can't be restored because those were converted to mp3 format with the Titanium client, and they aren't included in the Titanium install - back in 1999 when midi was still a thing in games, these would sound different based on your sound card. They're still floating around online for nostalgia's sake, but unfortunately there isn't a simple way to get the client to read them instead of the mp3s. The Titanium music I'm sure is just the original midi converted into mp3 using an industry standard sound card, so if you went and found the midis and then converted them to mp3 they would sound exactly like the mp3s included with Titanium.

Also, some of the classic gameplay sounds don't loop correctly with the Titanium client, but the wave files themselves are the same as they were in classic. I've uploaded these in a zip if you want to revert to them: download, extract to EverQuest directory, select overwrite: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14728818/Project%201999/classicsounds.rar

[drelk001]

yeah, this was just a start, kinda was hoping some high end devs could go off of what I started, talked to telin and he pretty much told me the same thing lol

[Gisshan]

What sounds were you playing in your original video you linked? Couldn't we just convert those sounds into the correct format and overwrite the files?

[paulgiamatti]

Those sounds are already included in the Titanium client, and between all clients it's the same format: .wav packed into a .pfs archive. They're the ones I just linked.

[Gisshan]

I just noticed that...I misread some of your post as you were talking about both music and sounds and I was just thinking about sounds when I read your post. This works for what I'm looking for. As far as trying to get that classic sound there is another post from Psycher

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81207

That has helped get these original midis sounding as close to original as possible. You can use some of their suggestions for ease but if you play around with it yourself you can find tune it to a personal level.

Grimluck seems to be doing some really good with with the music as well:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193468

These can be renamed into their corresponding mp3 and work out very well. They are 'remastered' classic but I'd think the idea of just taking audio samples from a true classic and recording it into mp3 format and not converting it like you say should come out with a pretty good result. I don't have good enough recording equipment to try but if anyone has the ability to hear these classic midi files the way they use to sound then they should be able to re-record them into an mp3 format and just overwrite the files that are there.

[Gisshan]

Although from what I'm seeing it does look like on the Emu side of things there is an issue with the looping of some of the music and sounds in the game. I'm wondering if there might be a way to tie a media player to a log reader that would play certain items in the playlist based on what the log reads in...

I'm sure someone with a little more programming chops than I might be able to run with an idea like that.

[paulgiamatti]

I'd think the idea of just taking audio samples from a true classic and recording it into mp3 format and not converting it like you say should come out with a pretty good result.

Well I mean, technically there was no "true classic" sound to the midi music, because midi isn't actually sound. Midi is basically sheet music for computers - back in 1999 it was completely dependent on your sound card's audio banks. For example, someone who had a really cheap integrated sound card would've had lower quality sound banks than someone with a Sound Blaster Live, so their midi music would've sounded lower quality than the person with a Sound Blaster Live card.

So as Chebby alludes to, it's pretty much just preference - some people had Sound Blaster Awe 16, some people had Sound Blaster Awe 32, some people had Sound Blaster Awe 64 - these were all available in 1999, and they all contain different sound banks, with the higher-bit cards featuring higher quality sounds.

I don't have good enough recording equipment to try but if anyone has the ability to hear these classic midi files the way they use to sound then they should be able to re-record them into an mp3 format and just overwrite the files that are there.

You wouldn't need any recording hardware other than a sound card to do this - all you'd have to do is install the midi soundfont you want, such as the Sound Blaster Awe 32 soundfont that Chebby linked, and then find a midi to mp3 converter which I'm sure is super easy to find with a Google search. Once you've changed your soundfont - which is basically the software equivalent of a sound card's audio bank - any midi you playback or convert will automatically use that soundfont's banks.

[paulgiamatti]

I'm sure someone with a little more programming chops than I might be able to run with an idea like that.

That's not a bad idea. And yeah, the Grimluck reworks are amazing - if I wanted EQ's music I would go straight for these. Crappy midi sounded crappy to me in 1999 and still sounds crappy to me today. I love the gameplay sounds in EQ, but not a huge fan of the music.

[Gisshan]

So far I've been able to get the midi driver working and everything sounds pretty good. I can even customize a couple of the songs since it will read the mp3 for the eqtheme, deaththeme, and two combat songs when I replace them.

The rest seem to pull from compiled midi files that aren't as easily replaceable. Ideally I'd like to take Grimluck's work and insert it into the compiled midi files but I'm not sure that possibly. It may be because I believe those files are just comprised of *.wav files and then there is a parent file telling it where to pull the correct music from in said file.

That may not be exactly how it works but something along those lines. Either this or the log reader I suggested would really allow some flexibility. I'm really happy with what I've gotten so far.

Perhaps I'll find someone who has worked with log readers a little and could work on that media player idea. That would allow for some simple customization for what music or sounds play when and where.

Thanks for all the help by the way to all. The little details scattered around these forums are extremely helpful. Sometimes hard to track down but always very helpful.

[drelk001]

thanks for the support gisshan, I really appreciate it... I have no programming background. As I said previously I was hoping I could just point some Devs into the direction of figuring it out, you know?

thanks again man. Make a new thread and edit on the first post with the updated link (I am unable to edit the first post)
