Druid Wolf Form Problem

[pseudonym]

I dont understand it...seems my wolf form is messy. Ive uninstalled reinstalled, reinstalled new patches. Whats odd about it, I see other wolf form fine ... besides corpses which are stiff and raised off the floor.

Any ideas?

Can see other people in wolf normally
My wolf forms are stiff and raised above ground level
Wolf form corpses are stiff and above ground level
NPCs not effect .. all good there

This could be related to you not having the growthplane line in the EQFolder/Resources/GlobalLoad.txt file. Can you paste the contents of it?

Try removing the growthplane line. It has fixed it for some people; I am not sure why either.

The exact text to remove:
1,0,TFFF,growthplane_chr,Loading Characters

[pseudonym]

No change =/

[Dac321]

I have the same issue.

[pseudonym]

Any other ideas?

[Secrets]

I'm not sure. Have you tried re-installing EverQuest from scratch? Also, post the contents of the dbg.txt in the EverQuest/Logs folder if the issue persists after that. It may contain useful information for us.

[Daldaen]

Anyone figured out this issue. I'm disinclined to use wolf form when it looks like this haha.

[Tenpin]

My shaman pet wolf has the same problem. It is stiff and doesn't move its legs.

[RangerDW]

Having the same problem. Has anybody found a fix for this? May have to reinstall everything but really don't want to if I can help it :/

[Daldaen]

Level 44 wolf form, Form of the Great Wolf, seems to have its own issues, atleast for me:

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x205/Daldaen/EQ000017.jpg

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x205/Daldaen/EQ000018.jpg

Apparently, it gives me illusion human (also does this with other players who use the spell, not just myself)? Or mabye I just have a bug/incorrect file. Help on this would be appreciated!

[Daldaen]

Also the faction mod on the spell, that makes you non KoS in Unrest, is non functional. i'm KoS inside the house in Unrest even when under this spell.

Seems the spell has an issue of some sort, shall I bug that?

[Molitoth]

I have the same problem. It was effected when they patched Skeleton/Wolf Form graphics... =(

[nilbog]

Form of the great wolf turns me into a wolf. It's a white wolf, which is wrong, but its still a wolf :P

My faction inside Unrest, as a wolf, is indifferent.

For the people having these issues.. look at your \resources\GlobalLoad.txt file.

It should contain the following:

Closed P99 completely, opened up that file you suggested and copy/pasted in. Form of the Great wolf still has me shown as a human male :/.

[nilbog]

Did you save the file? Paste the location of the file, as well as the contents.

[Daldaen]

I opened the file, cleared it out, pasted in your entire list of text lines, saved and closed to then restarted P99, still a human. Will do it again I guess :).

Edit: yep no change, still a human when I cast it :/

[Daldaen]

To add to this, Treeform is broken for me. So illusions in general.

Treeform yields no race or any discernible change other than the fact that i'm rooted.

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x205/Daldaen/EQ000039.jpg

Wolf form and Form of the Great wolf still have the Stiff legs/Human illusion problems respectively :(.

[Daldaen]

Ahh, so I found the issue sort of. Opened my log file, dbg.txt. Here is what I found (after casting Form of the Great Wolf and Treeform:

[ooantipostoo]

I just run the old patch file, before wolf and skele form was changed and I have zero issues.

[Tol]

I just run the old patch file, before wolf and skele form was changed and I have zero issues.

Can you elaborate? I thought patching in any way would make eqemu non-functional.

[Elian]

Had same issue ...reinstalled solved it. I had the stiff wolf form and it seemed that some other wolves were humans...such as the coyote at the rings in Steamfront. Clean install works fine. Copy your charname_project99 and UI_charname_project99 so you dont lose you UI setup and macros/junk.

[Jazz]

Using the updated textures (s3d zone files?) caused this to happen, when I reverted to the old s3d files, the problem fixed itself.

[phantom]

Can someone tell me which file the wolf form textures are in? I'd like to use updated textures for everything else but revert to the original file so that wolf form doesn't look wierd and I don't see a male human coyote by the steamfont rings.

That is exactly what my globabload file is. Also, there isn't an updated growthplane_chr.s3d in the updated textures. So why do they still mess up the wolf?

[Lyrik]

Side note, stiff wolf form existed on live if you were hit with share wolf while sitting, though it reverted upon standing again.
