:eek:

one of the greatest days in this project

[Rogean]

What's your point?

[Nirgon]

I was a fool to doubt how classic you'd make it

A true box emperor

[Rogean]

We're not actually implementing that.

[Nirgon]

Why?

Its not like asking for random disconnections to simulate the classic experience. (That was a thing esp on engages for us)

It is core game? No?

And you already know how to get it going?

Wiztest is against the p99 naming policy.

Nilbog please ban

[Nirgon]

I guess I feel different about it knowing we're being intentionally deprived.

Still a good box emperor tho. Most other people woulda turned a box off putting up with half of the shit.

True random DC would be pretty sick way to give people a real taste

I've been calling for 1999 emulated connection speeds before you went into a nursing home old man.

quit pestering the staff with your days of yonder past.

pretty sure this is just a macro

/sit
/viewport 0 0 0 0

and

/stand
/viewport 0 0 1920 1080 (or whatever)

You can play this way if you want!

[Nuggie]

Not sure how I feel about that. Im not a classic hound like Dald. I do prefer classicness when possible. But damn...

[Baler]

This is nilbog's and rogean's server.
Don't read too deep beyond that.

[DMN]

I don't know what this is but not the original/vanilla spellbook. You stuck your face completely in the book. It was giant and covered your whole screen.

It wasn't. It was fully functional code. I could show you the same functionality clicking the spell book on the Default UI if I wanted.

It did utilize the viewport code to accomplish it though.

Part of it:

if (GameState == 5 && *(UIWnd **)0x850C30) {
if ((*(UIWnd **)0x850C30)->Visible) {
*(DWORD *)0x923780 = 1;
*(DWORD *)0x923784 = 1;
} else {
*(DWORD *)0x923780 = 1920;
*(DWORD *)0x923784 = 1080;
}
}

The variables being adjusted there are the Client's Viewport settings.

[Canelek]

That C++?

I'm a DBA by trade so coding is not really my forte, although my Powershell game is picking up.

[Fammaden]

Yeah see that's the thing, if they could make THAT work then I'd say push it. The black screen feels way less classic and would rip me out of my 1999 immersion!

[Master Roshi]

I actually remember being proud when I hit 35 and graduated to sitting instead of staring at the book.

I don't see why this wouldn't be implemented, so long as you can see chat still, this is how the game was initially.

[Brocode]

True random DC would be pretty sick way to give people a real taste

you actually can do that, add a kid/cat and access to your your router, true random disconnects or just use bad connection, you dont need to ask the server to get the real feel

[BlackBellamy]

I have a fully functional DDOS script. Send me your IP and play times and the level of classic you want (lag, rubberband, or linkdead) and I will make your experience complete.

The original Ui was artworked and spit polished to function as part of the game design. Prefer the original cohesive experience of the RPG. Keyboards & Mice.

hah. That stuff did add a layer of unpredicability and tension to the game. It was something to expect when you logged in as part of it. Crossing an ocean you are unfamiliar with on a boat or going deep into a dungeon only to die from LD. This was part of the consideration of your choices. An uncertainty was made fairly certain.

[Killmiceelf]

To emulate the classic experience,

Put a wan simulator between you and your gateway.

Set the latency to 120ms each way and 256k each way.

Done.

[loramin]

It wasn't. It was fully functional code.

So why not have it on Geen then?

I mean, you don't owe anyone any explanation for anything ... but ... it just seems so right for Green?

[Tecmos Deception]

We're not actually implementing that.

Wow. I never would have guessed you wouldn't implement it. Lol.

Missed this guy

Can't wait to quest with y'all

[Danth]

The mostly-black screen is not so unclassic as some folks may think. The Velious UI reverted to the older "stone" UI when the player opened the spellbook, however the old UI did not allow higher resolutions the way the Velious UI did. The result was that when using the Velious UI on a decent-size monitor, when you opened the spellbook you got a rather small rendition of the old UI centered on--you guessed it--an otherwise black screen.

ddos me, bro

You missed an opportunity to put 127.0.0.1

[Nirgon]

You are so close with buff timer removals

Finish the job, it is your destiny

You survived scrutiny that other ultra talent devs (Yeahlight) did not, moreso even

[Baler]

no, no it's 192.168.0.1

You sound like the Everquest version of Emperor Palpatine right now :cool:

he used to have 18k posts, they took 5k away and he still has 13k, he kinda is a sith lord.

all hail lord nirgon

[Benanov]

no, no it's 192.168.0.1

If you wanted true classic, it's 169.254.0.1

(You know, the IP address Windows 95 would give you when it couldn't find the DHCP server)

[Nirgon]

Eunomia altered the deck to have #1 posts

It counted spamming things/moving things into staff sections too

Wasn't a goal or anything but some people got oddly jealous, butt hurt and abused power

Love some surprise lolz

Nothing but good things to say about Eu, but everyone's got their weird fixations

[Baler]

ooh yes let's turn this into a RnF thread and talk about Eunomia
The only (former)staff member to give me grief outside of when I was clearly in the wrong.

I still enjoy going back and reading the red section when she was a guide over there.

for real though, at this point. water under the bridge. I just get excited when someone brings it up.

[Nirgon]

Well that's merely a coincidence

I mean it kinda is true as far as destiny, having the right traits or what not - like it implies destiny in a way even if I don't believe in that mumbo jumbo

Either people had the talent but not the skin for it, or the skin for it but not the talent

When you're this frigging close to be able to pound ur chest and say "I have made classic fire" why not finish the job. I helped in my own way as best I could many times making a big ugly scene with the bickering but god is this close... sooo close..

He wants casey to come back and play with him.

[Nirgon]

I want the stamina stuff

Especially as it applies to swimming

[Baler]

YES me too. It would really piss in melee players corn flakes.
:cool:

[Nirgon]

There would be a point to getting aug instead of regular haste

Acumen for shamans would have significant value cuz it gave stamina regen but also stacked with VoG etc

There were also stamina heal spells like Extinguish Fatigue

I miss it

[Baler]

Nirgon I like the cut of your jib

[Mblake81]

Yeah the crown of rile is supposed to be an ultimate item for melee. Swing any weapon you wish.. pull constantly.

Mhm mhm mhm

Here's another one I've struggled with recently and used to be certain of: didnt you go through drink items faster in north ro, oasis, south ro? Or was that just a coincidence and EQ urban legend? I remember being like okay I have to buy twice as much water as food out there. People were always asking me for water in nro at dervs, not to mention that the desert madmen dropped them.

[Buellen]

Could sworn that was a myth.

[Ghilran]

If you wanted true classic, it's 169.254.0.1

(You know, the IP address Windows 95 would give you when it couldn't find the DHCP server)

It's 169.254.x.x, and it's a random IP address chosen in this 16 bit range that most dhcp client will pick when no server is found. It's part of an actual RFC and the idea is that two computer out of the box plugged into a network without any other resources could still communicate by randomly picking two different addresses in that range (and by leveraging multicast and broadcast).

Looks like I'm being pedantic again. Please resume with the thread.

Lol, and even more lol all the posts after yours that missed the point :)

just started a networking degree in the spring and am feeling so socks with sandals for getting the joke. Very proud over here

[Nirgon]

Can we replace the gbs graphic with the original bolt

Even if it's not perfectly flying yet
