SP-1 Error(False Flag?)

[ketzerei84]

First note that I am playing on Linux(Mint 18.1/Cinammon). I have other emu servers(seperate titanium installs) which run fine.

With a fresh titanium install, Spell files v44(which is the current according to the stickied 'getting started' post) and the following launcher script:

#!/bin/sh
# if you don't have the script's cwd set, you get XML errors
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine/
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sony/Project1999

# Bind to one core of the processor and launch.
# The client will spew a lot of errors, especially every time
# you target a mob, hence the stdout/stderr redirect.
# You probably want to leave off the 2>/dev/null until you're satisfied
# everything is working.
taskset -c 0 padsp wine eqgame.exe patchme 2>/dev/null

When I finally get to the character select screen all my characters are humans, with the "your spell files are out of date error code sp-1" text across the character select. I'm sure you've seen it before.

dsetup.dll is case sensitive, others have had good luck with the below on Linux:


Things i did to get everquest P99 working on my Antergos/Gnome3 setup

1. Copied eq1 folder to linux
2. removed files from eq folder as per p99 website
3. When copying p99 specific files into eq folder pay attention to case sensitive files, in particular dsetup.dll! You have to rename it to DSETUP.dll
4. Get sound to work. Open terminal and enter sudo pacman -S lib32-alsa-lib lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-libpulse lib32-alsa-oss lib32-openal
5. Edit eqclient.ini and change video mode or size to fit your monitor
5a. Change windowedmode to false if you want fullscreen
5b. set refresh rate to 60

I also have the blank server login screen occasionally but usually only takes one retry to get it working

Welllll, that worked, but apparently all my characters are... gone. le sigh.

You're sure that you're logging into the right server, P99 red vs. P99 blue? If you've doubled checked the server I would put a post in the petition forum.

Its apparently an old LS account that I dont even have access to the eqemu account for where all my characters are. The 20 minutes at a time to get a server list is obnoxious though - and an eqemu specific problem since idont have the issue with other severs which dont use the eqemu login server. Know of a way to bypass the eqemu login server, like p99 USED to?
