luclin elemental graphics gone

[deven1313]

I have had the Luclin elemental models ever since I installed EQ/Project 1999 a couple of months ago. However, due to glitching, I completely uninstalled the game and re-installed. Now, I don't see the new elemental models anymore. I have made sure that UseLuclinElementals=TRUE in the eqclient.ini file. Anyone know how to get them back?

Turn them on/off in the options menu at the login screen? That's how I thought it was done..

Strangely, I don't have an options menu on the login screen. I am using duxau1, I wonder if that's part of the problem?

*Edit* I did find the options after all. However, all the models were already checked. Any other ideas?

[bigjeff100]

try to uncheck them and see what happens? I'm not sure!

You could always switch to these: they're cooler looking (IMHO) and more classic:

Maybe I will if I can't get the Luclin ones back. I think the ones I had look super cool though, with the heads and how they move.

To update this, last night I noticed the Fire elemental was showing the Luclin model as I wanted (the one with the head). I then tried the Air elemental, but it was non-Luclin. I tried it again today and this time the fire elemental was back to non-Luclin. So, I don't know what's going on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone have any other ideas? I should point out that I am using the updated character and zone models found here (http://p99.yourfirefly.com/) . I tried removing them to troubleshoot, but it made no difference. I'm also using DuxaUI so not sure if that makes changes to the models?

I've heard rumors that the devs might have added code to prevent Luclin models, and while I'd also heard that code might make exceptions for elementals ... maybe it doesn't (or did but doesn't anymore).

I have no idea of those rumors are true or not, but it would fit perfectly for a server that's dedicated to classic EQ to have code to prevent non-classic models. And that explanation would fit your inconsistent experience (maybe it's not 100% effective at blocking the new models?)

It should be easy to test your theory. Turn on the models yourself and see if you (or anyone else for that matter,) is able to constantly see the Luclin models.
