5/31/2014 - All new (and old) projects will be posted at my forum I created. Visit it here P1999 Graphical mods (http://modp99.forumotion.com/) Recent updates to my forum: Akanon completely retextured

I know most people prefer this classic server to appear 100% classic, and although the blurry nostalgic memories of bad textures are nice for a bit, I have found a way to upgrade your textures which significantly improve your visual experience. (currently working on an even larger improvement)

A lot of people have the idea that EQ Titanium already comes with the new textures (I believe Lucin brought these new textures) However, they do not for whatever reason (probably to save space, the new zone files are much bigger in file size)

From 2001: "EverQuest was first released in 1999 with low-resolution 32x32 textures. EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin will feature 256x256 textures, with some as large as 512x512. The higher-resolution textures will make the game's online fantasy world look more detailed and lifelike. Sony also released new screenshots showing off some of the game's environments using the higher-resolution textures. " - Gamespot.com

So how does one get these new textures?


TUTORIAL:

1.) (optional) Back-up all current .s3d files in your Everquest folder (sort file types by using details view in windows)
2.) Download Textures: http://p99.yourfirefly.com/ (thanks to norova for hosting)

3.) extract RAR to EQ folder C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest (rewrite all)

and you're done! easy right?

(If anyone has texture comparison pictures with kunark, post it and ill add it. I have tested a couple zones and there is clearly a noticeable (good) difference, and the zones are a bit larger in file size just as the old world)

They did this right before luclin came out iirc.

Don't remember any sort of complaining about it at the time, I think most people liked the texture update.

A lot of people have the idea that EQ Titanium already comes with the new textures (I believe Lucin brought these new textures) However, they do not for whatever reason (probably to save space, the new zone files are much bigger in file size)

So how does one get these new textures?

1.) Simply download the free version of EverQuest Trilogy linked here: http://eqplayers.station.sony.com/content.vm?page=Download
(http://eqplayers.station.sony.com/content.vm?page=Download)
2.) install the game in a different directory then your P1999 EQ titanium directory

3.) Do not run EQ trilogy, open the trilogy directory and sort the folder to view all .s3d files (details view in windows)

4.) Open your project1999 directory and backup your .s3d files just in case of any issues (especially lavastorm and nekulous, I haven’t tested them yet)

5.) After you’ve backed up your files, replace your P1999 .s3d files with your Trilogy files ( drag and drop or copy and paste)

6.) That’s it, now you can delete the Trilogy install files and download files


It might seem like a ridiculous silly process but i found that its very much worth it. Just to reiterate, make sure you back up the files, i have not tested every zone, but so far no issues while traveling around, if there is an issue with a zone, just replace that zone with the back up.

Interesting! Has anyone noticed slower zoning or performance?

There may be a slightly longer loading period due to the zone files being larger, however i have not noticed any issues with the new zones or any longer of a wait. The Textures are still pretty bad compared to modern gaming, but its a big step from the original zones.

In my opinion, this actually made the game look worse. But that might have something to do with the fact that I was so used to looking at the original textures for 3+ years, that the "upgrades" looked worse because they were so different.

Vanech
01-31-2010, 08:54 PM
Well, I must say cities with lots of cobblestone etc. look extremely nice with the larger resolution images, but it seems as if something is still missing file-wise, as the grass textures appear to not be changed. I distinctly recall exclaiming to a buddy of mine in tells about the crispness of the new ground textures in butcher when I installed Luclin back in the day (on Live).

It may just be that the larger ground textures weren't made available with the trilogy set, but were present on the Luclin expansion CDs. From what I've read, SoF comes with the newer textures but the Titanium install does not, despite the fact that the initial changes were made a few expansions before the Titanium pack.

Seeing as I have both Titanium and SoF, does that mean I can bypass the Trilogy download and just copy the s3d files from a SoF installation for the higher res textures?

Your best bet would be to view the file size of a random zone, say Gfay, .s3d file and see whether or not the file size is bigger in SoF compared to Titanium, if the size is the same then you wont see any differences, if bigger its probably the same as the trilogy.

I like it. I always thought if Sony ever made an EQ Classic server they could just polish up the graphics a bit, and that's all this really is.

My big question is can any other older models be scavenged from this? Could this fix the female High Elf with missing parts of her head? Or the helmets with visors that have just a colorless gray texture where the eye-hole should be? Or the halflings wearing plate with holes in it?

Ok do not try this with a live up to date patched game folder.:eek:

I coppied all the S3d files from live and backed up all the s3d files in my p1999 eq folder and replaced them with the live coppies. Almost every mob in the game is a naked male human... Coyotee's, Scarabs, Mummies, specs, sg's, skellies, bears, wolves, cats, hg's and who know what else. However the Croc/gator graphic was normal :cool:

This is NICE! Great find Psycher! Only thing I dont get is, why would the textures from Trilogy be BETTER than textures from Titanium? It's like ass-backwards lol

phantom
02-02-2010, 10:33 AM
Just wanted to say I did this and I'm happy with it. The non-city texture changes (like grass) are somewhat more subtle than the city changes but overall it's a nice effect.

I have several additional suggestions, maybe add to original post:
1. When installing Trilogy, de-select Kunark and Velious to save yourself a bit of time on the install and the copy.


2. There is an easy way to make backups of just the files you're replacing, instead of all of them (so as not to waste disk space).

A. Select all the s3d files from Titatium and move them to Trilogy, selecting "No to All" / "Don't Replace" when prompted.
B. The remaining s3d files in Titanium will be the ones you are replacing, as they are duplicates of the ones in Trilogy. Make a backup directory and move them all there.
C. Move all the s3d files from Trilogy to Titanium.

Note: This does NOT take into account the two broken zones, so don't ask me if you need to keep them or not, I don't know, but it's easy enough to copy them back from the backup dir if you need to. Also, it would be interesting to compare the gequip, bmp files, character files to see if they're the same size or different, although probably any changes are irrelevent for Trilogy / Classic era content anyway.


3. Enabling / disabling luclin models doesn't matter for the character models, but it DOES change the elemental models. I happen to like the new elemental models, so I have this enabled.

Scrooge
02-02-2010, 11:37 AM
I like the newer elemental models also, only problem with that is targetting mobs under the new model can often prove difficult...

I tried it this weekend and had no issues and must say it was a noticeable improvement in most non city zones as well. Rathe Mountains looks very different, as does even Oasis. This effects tree textures as well as sand, grass, walls, etc.. The entrance to Guk from Innothule was vastly different looking and surprised me the first time I ran up.

I love classic the classic feel but don't mind some minor texture upgrades which this provides.

No problems at all since I swapped files and it's a lot easier on my eyes too.

thanks for testing the zip for me drplump, I honestly haven't tested it, however I used the exact files that are used in the previous tutorial to make the zip. There honestly shouldn't be any issues in making any classes or anything of that nature, the only files in the zip that you replace are zone texture files, nothing to do with the game client itself.

lol what kind of comment is this? This is called a waste of reading.

What do you even mean by "important" - it's optional content that increases texture graphics. If you want nicer textures, then get it - if not, don't. It's "importance" to p1999 is irrelevant, as it's based on personal preference.

As for the OP - great job, I'm using them and it's great!

I am in the process of downloading this, and installing it. Should give us an idea of what files are needed for the Classic-Velious era, and which of the files in our install are for extra BS that's not needed.

I will be trying this all out soon enough :).

Psycher
04-08-2010, 08:47 AM
All files in the zip contain new zone files for all the zones that are currently available in project1999. No zones released as an expansion are in the zip.

If you are having problems making this work check the following:
1.) Did you properly extract the zone files and overwrite the old ones? if you did not get prompt to overwrite, you probably did it wrong.
2.) Run "OptionsEditor.exe" in your EQ directory. Make sure you do not have "texture compression" checked, and make sure you have your texture quality listed as "high"

Not sure what's wrong.
Texture compression is off, texture quality high.

Backup up ALL s3d files and replaced the files. When I try and log into the server, screens flash and eventually it just shuts down.

UPDATE: When I went into EqOptions.exe I also changed the resolution, resetting it back to the lowest and then once ingame to the resolution wanted fixed the issue.

Tried these things out and here is what i noticed:

1. Zone load time raises (logically
2. More common that zoning will freeze client

IF you do these things, you should stick with one of the 2 options.

Either use the Trilogy version or the zip file provided.

I tried to be smart and used a copy program that could check wich file was the biggest, when deciding if to override or not ...
(there actually is some files in the titanium version that is larger than both the zip fil and the trilogy version)

well obvious .. DONT DO THIS !!! :eek:

Heh... it screwed up various zones like NEK ... looked nice but I kinda got annoyed by the floating fires all over zone without any torches :p

So use any of the 2 versions and stick with override all, cause it is 3 different versions and the zone files (world+object) need to mach and not be from 2 different versions

How exactly are you backing them up? do you extract .s3d files from the download link you gave us and copy paste them in? or do we manually change them one by one? sorry im confused

Move (don't just copy) all of your existing .s3d files to another directory (for example, old_textures).

Then, when there are no .s3d files left in your EQ directory, unzip the new .s3d files files into your EQ directory.

I like this... makes the game slightly more appealing for thous who are having a hard time getting adjusted to the extreme graphic flash back.

* I have to admit... my first day on the server did cause my eye's to hurt and I started getting a pretty mean head ache that even two extra strength Tylenol couldn't fix. But by day two I had adjusted. =)

I like the old models more as well, but I know a few people that prefer the newer ones. Where exactly in the EverQuest folder do you enable the new models to be used in place of the old ones?

WTB feature that turns on new/old model for a character dependent on which one that character has selected. So if halfelfA has the old one selected, you see the old one. If halfelfB has the new one selected, you see the new one. That's what I've always felt would help to settle this issue. If the new models looked like the old ones then something like this wouldn't be needed. Otherwise, please respect the people who're playing other characters. If they want to look like an old model, please allow them to!!!! It's their choice, not yours. Polygons are insignificant. It's the style of the model that counts. But if a character selects a new one because it has more polygons, fine. So I should see the new one if they have it selected for their character.

Ultimately, sony is the one that disrespected players, not the players themselves. Switching to old models to speed up the framerate should not mean that your friend should suddenly look like a completely different person. Ogres, for example, look cumbersome and almost friendly in the old versions. In the new, they're fierce. If a player wants to look fierce, let them. If they want to look dumb, let them. Give them that choice, at least.

Also, though less important, the new model facial textures have less distinction. The 3d model doesn't change, so the position of hte eyes and nose doesn't change. In the old models, the textures on the face are much different because the facial model is much less defined. So, basically, facial textures on any particular new model look more similar than the old ones did. This is true for eyes/nose/mouth positioning, not coloring.

Btw, this is not the one thing I would change. As already said, I want more breast animations. Bouncing breasts trump all else, imho. Everything else is crackers. Feel free to censor me.

1.) Back-up all current .s3d files in your Everquest folder (sort file types by using details view in windows)
2.) Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YDIFVCGZ
3.) extract RAR to EQ folder C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest (rewrite all)

and you're done! easy right?


I am confused. After extracting the RAR to the EQ folder, do I then put the backed up .s3d files into the folder? If not, then why do I back them up?

Hmm odd. It seems like it's standard port 80 so I'm not sure why that URL would give you problems. Is this from home or at work or both? Maybe grab it from a friends house and copy it to a flash drive or something?

The textures being changed should have nothing to do with your ability to make a necro or SK Erudite.

The problem is if you remove the old files first. There is no new Paineel file in the download and you crash if trying to enter the game into a zone that doesn't exist.

Didn't notice a single change anywhere. Hmm.... How about making some before-after photos sticky? If I am getting anything out of this, I don't recognize it. Took about 5 minutes per copy op and 30 minutes for the DL, for a total of about 45 minutes. Could have done a 6 in that time. :eek: Doesn't seem to have been worth it. Could be that I turned off the hq models at some point. Haven't been able to toggle them back on since I did that.

Using the link in the original post, I was able to download the RAR file in about 5 minutes while I was backing up my s3d files. So far I have not run into any problems since such a quick and easy upgrade.

Like so many others, I am also nostalgic about old classic EQ and I still like to get immersed in the game world just like the old days.

Upgrading the zone textures has helped improve my "nostalgic immersion" considerably. It just looks better!. It doesn't look so drastically different that it's not the same old EQ, just better.

I want updated textures for kunark zones, but kunark zone s3d files don't seem to come with the megaupload file on the first page. You have to download the whole 1 gigabyte + file which is the whole game from the sony website.
I was wondering if there is any other way to get those textures without having to do that.

Going through the folder I made on my desktop I noticed I mistakenly put the Dragon Necropolis zone file in with Kunark. Decided to go ahead and make a Velious file for anyone who wants it in advance so there won't be any waiting when it finally gets released.

Was a little hesitant to do this since I'm sort of a purist, but I actually like it a lot.

That's all that is in the rars we've provided. Only s3d files nothing else.

The first picture has more charm to it.

The "updated" graphics are too smooth, too glossy. They take you out of a fantasy world feeling and make it seem more manufactured.

Ive tried downloading the file for the upgraded graphics twice now from the megaupload link and it gets partially done and then fails. Says something about not reading something or some bs....any help ?

*just tried again today , gets to about 100mb's complete and then says could not download because source file could not be read, wtf ?

we need a new link to the old world files, I dont think megaupload is coming back any time soon.

Ok, found them in previous posts, for simplicity the OP should include that information on the first post.

My hosting is going to go poof in 5 days, letting them expire so just a heads up if anyone else wants to host the files.

I'm currently uploading two different packages for these files. The first is all of the high-res S3D files from the EQ Trilogy install. The second is all of the original low-res S3D files from the EQ Titanium install. You'll be able to directly switch between high-res/low-res just by unzipping the proper archive into your EQ directory.

I will host both on my Linode server which has 180GB of monthly bandwidth, and I only use about 5GB of it. If we come near the limit, I will bump the cap up. Happy to support this cause.

Uploads should be done in a couple hours. I'll post again when they're finished.

No problem. :) Were the downloads stable? I've been watching my bandwidth on that server shoot up really high at times and assume it's people downloading the textures. Haven't heard any complaints so far.

Would like to get the link added to the main post if possible. I'll have to bug Psycher to do it.

ty nor does anyone have a (I know its in this thread somewhere just lazy) simplified step by step on making this work

norova

All you need to do is extract whichever ZIP file you want (high-res or low-res) into your EverQuest folder. That would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest on Windows 7 64-bit. Overwrite anything if it asks.
