Patch Notes: September 29th, 2019

[Rogean]

The latest patch contains new required files. Download the new Patch Files from the top of the Home page, or the Getting Started Guide.

Code
Rogean: The Non-Cleric 10% Healing Penalty has been corrected to affect all SE_CurrentHP Effects.
Rogean: [Sep1999] All AE Spells and Songs will be limited to 4 targets prior to this Era. Post Era, they will revert to Custom Rule (Currently 25).
Rogean: [Dec2001] Cycle Nearest NPC has been disabled prior to this era.
Haynar: Updated pathing to help prevent mobs from falling below world.
Haynar: Changed how coordinates are updated when mobs summon players. This should help prevent players from falling below world.
Haynar: Mob pathing will now check for hazards using the same interval positions update. This will help navigate hazards better, and places with lots of falling areas, like upper spiders in velks, mobs will be less likely to fall off.
Haynar: Fixed an issue with mob position updates, which caused mobs to sink into the world. The Z destination was using their targets offset incorrectly.
Haynar: Adjusted the z_offset calculations for mobs to match exactly the same as the client calculations, based on a decompile of the client. This helps with mob bouncing.
Haynar: Mobs moving up and down steep terrains, will update their z location better. The distance it could correct was too limiting. This contributed to giants falling below world in ring wars.
Haynar: Mobs feared should update their z-coordinates better.
Haynar: NPC's will be less susceptible to interrupt by combat/spell push (Credit work by Torven).
Haynar: Bash can now interrupt spells, even if the stun component does not land (Credit work by Torven/Mackal).
Haynar: Bash from behind no longer gets a bonus to stun. This caused an increase in stuns from behind, and when combined with flee stuns, it was worse than intended.
Content
Nilbog: Ring and Circle of Surefall Glade can now be memorized.
Nilbog: Corrected a dialogue issue with Disciple Symbol of Cazic Thule.
Telin: Priestess Ghalea's quests should be working again.
Telin: Jarlen Meadowgreen's baking services are no longer needed now that the plague is over.
Telin: The Kly in Dalnir should no longer despawn instantly upon mesmerizing or feigning death.
Telin: Marshal Anrey will no longer mention his quest if your faction isn't good enough to complete it.

Thank You!!

[Velkor]

Nice.

[Fammaden]

Thanks for all your work on this project.

[sounion]

Thanks Rogean and team.

Surefall glade!!!!

[Tempus]

Thank you!

Thank you!

[Pringles]

Push interrupt changes just a straight port of TAKP's? If so god speed raiders o7

[Saisu]

Haynar: Bash from behind no longer gets a bonus to stun. This caused an increase in stuns from behind, and when combined with flee stuns, it was worse than intended.

A ha! This makes sense why if you had a group of mobs chasing you and hit you from behind, you could almost get perma stun locked. I didn't feel right, and I'm glad Haynar figured out why!

Thanks. Y'all normally link it on the thread itself, that's why me and others had errors...ive never actually used the link in the image above to download a patch, since playing here (over 9 years). Very easy to miss that.

[Balimon]

Downloaded the current patch and I'm still getting the spells_us.txt error.

[Clima]

couldnt extract dsetup.dll due to Trj, *fixed* Through going back to 49v and not patching the dsetup.dll with the 50v patch.

[skorge]

Downloaded the current patch and I'm still getting the spells_us.txt error.

I downloaded new patch and it fixed it for me. Being here 9 years and that's a first i've seen they didnt include patch file link in thread.

I would close it out and try to download the file again linked above by Baler. See if that fixes it.

Thanks for patch!

Rogean any thoughts about Quaking ? Your completly ruining gameplay for all the European fans with this 3-9 PM EST weekend USA primetime Quakes. It means all Quakes happen midnight Euroland. Also all static 24h respawn mobbs we have to go up in middle of night for.

[Midoo]

holy fuck, no more legging it through the GIGANTIC breadth of west karana and qhills for centuries every time i want to train my barbarian shammy

i'm weeping, this is so fucking beautiful

[Lizardtheinsane]

Why not just post a link here? Where is the link at the top of the page? I'm clicking the link in the getting started section and it just takes you to the home page. It says there are 467 players on the server. What am I missing?

[skorge]

Problem is, look at the top of this page, there's like nothing up there about a new patch download (you have to go back to the home page to even get to the new patch download)...it's literally only shown on the home page which nobody really reads...except when they put a big graphic on it or a new patch update.

I've been here since 2010 and just now noticed the patch was at the top there on the home page...that's how unnoticed it is, lol.

[Worry]

Nice stun fix. Well done to the staff, as always.

[BlackBellamy]

NPC's will be less susceptible to interrupt vs Bash can now interrupt spells

Who will win this interruption battle?

[loramin]

Thanks as always for the fixes staff.

@Rogean I imagine you've already thought of this, and you haven't done it for some very good reason ... but if not, have you ever considered making a URL redirect to the latest patch?

In other words, if you setup a URL like "www.project1999.com/patch/latest", in whatever server manages the domain (Apache? Nginx?), then it might make things a lot easier because all documentation everywhere could just point to the same place. That way when someone needs a patch, the error could even say "You can download the latest patch from _____ URL".

Like I said, there's probably some technical reason you don't want to do this, but if you just haven't thought of it it might be handy.

[deadlycupcak3z]

I was def a baby when EQ was released originally so I don’t know what the 10% healing penalty is - if it is essentially all healing coming from non-clerics is 10% reduced on identical spells then that is EXCITING for my g99 cleric journey <33

[ihshan]

can't reach the patch. security problem
can someone UL it elsewhere i can take it plz?

Yes. This was already in place. for example, Cleric Superior Healing heals for more than that of the other classes which can cast the spell. The bug fix was that the penalty was not affecting items/etc. For example invigorate clicks on some items should heal 90 not 100, or Jeldorin should proc for 162, not 180.

just open the zip file, hit extract to, direct it to wherever you have P99 installed(it will have the resources/spelleffects and uifiles folders in it. Click ok and when it asks you to replace existing files just hit Yes to All

This is assuming you are using WinRar (my program of choice)

[WandersX2]

Anyone take a look at this timestamp/file size see if there is a discrepency to what they have?

hello I am having trouble logging on to P99 Blue.

I have downloaded and added the new files like normal but when I log on it show this message. One or more of your Ever Quest files are not the correct Titanium version for p99. you will not be able to play until the files listed in red are replaced with the correct versions. spell_us.txt (1556449171)

not sure what else I need to do I replaced it with the new p99files50.

could you help me figure this out please.

[WandersX2]

[Clerit]

Thank you

[Dolalin]

Noice.

[ashby_jonny]

same thing here I download the p99file50 and get the same spell_us message in red that needs to be replaced. anyone know how to fix this issue?

[ashby_jonny]

how did you fix the problem with the spell_us.txt

[Lanuven]

Avast was blocking my download, might be that

That was it!

[ashby_jonny]

still can not figure out how to fix the spell_us issue.

I have removed and replace the files a dozen times and still get the same thing when I log in spell_us.txt can some one help me with this issue please.

[Mavinor]

Hello,

I don't know what I am doing wrong, apparently, others don't have to deal with this. Every time I download a patch, my kebinds get reset. I spend the day of playing discovering (in frustration) keybinds I had set up prior to the patch, and having to change them. Sometimes causing hazards to me and my group. What's am I doing wrong?

[ashby_jonny]

still can not fix this spell_us.txt issue please can someone assist me.

[fatalis]

stuff aggros through z axis

more warping through walls

been trains here for hours haha

[Rogean]

If you're having issues with AV try the newest upload pack (50b).

[Snagglepuss]

A ha! This makes sense why if you had a group of mobs chasing you and hit you from behind, you could almost get perma stun locked. I didn't feel right, and I'm glad Haynar figured out why!

So true and frustrating.

Thanks for the hard work Devs!

[Litherix]

So... patch 49 nerfed bandit sash quest xp.
Patch 50 nerfs karana rabid bear/wolf farming....and fixes teleports into surefall. Qeynos is the red-headed stepchild of EQ for all eternity i guess?

[Madbad]

Since patch I have seen Piranhas path across the bridge in Nektulos Forest. I wonder if this has to do with z-axis changes?

Z-axis changes might need some tweeking, Velks in particular.

Yep, same for me.

[Vyal]

Rogean: [Sep1999] All AE Spells and Songs will be limited to 4 targets prior to this Era. Post Era, they will revert to Custom Rule (Currently 25).

Not classic. This functionality was added in late 2003.

[Sauryan]

Is it normal that the "Cycle through nearest npc" key doesnt work anymore ?

[Izmael]

Not classic.


Maybe this feature could be reserved for Green and, like the pet window, be allowed on Blue?

It doesn't take away any classicness or anything, just removes a little frustration when dealing with buggy EQ targeting.

[Sunderfury]

It doesn't take away any classicness or anything, just removes a little frustration when dealing with buggy EQ targeting.

Previous pet window reversal was stated that it was allowed to stay on blue since it was same patch as custom UI and very close to velious, but hot bars were disabled due to being too far out of classic timeline.

Following this logic, I wouldn't hold your breath for it to stay on blue, too far out of timeline.

[Davantage]

Any chance you fellas could take a look at Velks? Must be due to the axis change, but getting trains pulled from the top somehow by just engaging mobs normally at the bottom/on the way up. Its unplayable, try as we might for hours last night.

Thanks for all the hard work!

[Dolalin]

You guys should all count your lucky stars that they haven't disabled Mousewheel zoom.

[imsorryGMs]

I enjoy changes that make the game unplayable

[Jimjam]

It reassures me the only reason I didn't get to higher level as a kid was because the game was unplayable, and not because I sucked!

[loramin]

And /tt and /rt aren't supposed to be here either are they?

I'm going to be so sad when they remove /rt (as will every raid buffer :().

Still worth it to get to play here though!

Not being able to cycle thru targets is pretty horrible though.

[evogelion]

Before the patch, I could cycle through NPC's using the key binding "TAB". Now I cannot use this function, even when I remap it to another key (yes, I used non shared keys). Some others I played with last night said they could not use the "cycle through npcs" function while others said nothing changed for them.

I'm pretty sure you have to patch to have it broken, and the latest patch wasn't required, so that's why some people don't see the problem. Everyone will have no choice but to get the next patch though, so everyone will have this soon.

[Gustoo]

Can we have a detailed list of UI changes that are upcoming so we can begin planning on how to deal with them?

When did cycle target button start existing?

Yeah if you use patch 50 you can still tab cycle, if you are using 50b it doesn't work but we aren't forced to use 50b right now.

[saftbudet]

Suprised all so upset about cycle tab. When the big thing is that for some reason push does not interrupt ch anymore. Where was that comming from. Afaik we always pushed on live to interrupt spells. And its a strategy here that actually takes some cordination and focus. Why the hell did you remove chance to interrupt ch on npc.

[soronil]

Why the hell did you remove chance to interrupt ch on npc.

Haynar: NPC's will be less susceptible to interrupt by combat/spell push (Credit work by Torven).

According to the patch note,s they reduced the chance, they did not remove the chance. As to why, the answer should be obvious. "Shit's classic". (They must have had some evidence proving that the previous code was not accurate)

[saftbudet]

The bug report on forum that they marked as resolved partly was implemented on an old post about 4 guys in seb could not interrupt an npc .... based on that devs make a custom implementation to stop pushing.

Just go to arena in kael and try interrupt an adjuntant. Can push it like 5 ogre length it will still land ch.

[saftbudet]

Oh well atleast its same for every raid ��

[Dolalin]

Push doesn't interrupt. Bash and kickstun do. Make friends with a knight or warrior, preferably several, and swing those shields.

[Dolalin]

Cycle target was a change in 2004, Daldaen provided links to Alla posts about it.

Learning to target mobs the old fashioned way will separate the men from the boys. Git gud.

[imsorryGMs]

I wonder how push will affect the jorlleag and gozzrem encounters in tov

[Gustoo]

It will have a huge affect on all encounters where push was used to reliably interrupt.

[Kinaki]

Please unroot all dragons that gate. And remove memblur after x distance mechanic.

[Detcidda]

Funny, I could have sworn it was there a minute ago?

[fahdazz]

Talk about quick service lol

[Chokanson9901]

Also getting 0xc0000005 after patching from 50b to 50c. Tried turning off windows defender and allowing the program through the firewall. But no luck.

[Nuggie]

Sounds like those 8 man vox teams are out of business. Or they learn to deal with 4 ch's. Mana drain spells are important again.

Does the AE spell/song nerf affect pbaoe spells also? No easy bard leveling on Green99?

[Haynar]

Push interrupt changes just a straight port of TAKP's? If so god speed raiders o7

Thus why Torven was credited. Its very close to takp.

https://i.imgur.com/IyLbtNT.png

The framework for it was added to client late feb 2003. Its was actually broke, and didnt work. But loaded the key mappings. It was fixed to work in a March 2003 patch.

[Mattman]

50d fails for me at the character selection it says: "One or more of your Everquest Files are not the correct Titanium version for Project 1999. You will not be able to play until the files listed in red are replaced with the correct versions.

Click this link for more information.

spells_us.txt (1556449171)"

The link leads me to a page that says I do not have access... When the 49 files failed for me I went to an old backup of the entire EQ directory, (I don't remember what P99 files were in that version), and I could log in and get to character selection, but of course it said the files were out of date.... What version of spells_us.txt do I need?

[Baler]

What version of spells_us.txt do I need?

The spells_us.txt file in V50 is identical to the version found in https://www.project1999.com/files/P99Files50d.zip

it differs from the 49 series in that they added surefall glades ports

[Vyal]

Will this be fixed by the time Green is out?

It's not supposed to.
I have been over this. There was never any limits to pb ae there was only connection related bugs to targeted ae.

This was before the September patch
>Extreme Kiting: Killing 6 Reds at once.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/alt.games.everquest/aoe|sort:date/alt.games.everquest/US9YhzsjC0Q/DrsSx8vPsE8J

In a way it feels sort of like this was only added in right now at this time as sort've a F U to anybody who knows the truth about original EQ. There was not even a reason to add it into this patch but there it is so something is up with that.

All facts and evidence I put forward that is in contrast to ae and mob limits has been completely ignored.

[Madbad]

[Madbad]

You are in good company then

[toasteroven]

The problem with the push mechanics and even rooted dragons is that it's getting harder and harder for moderate sized guilds to kill these mobs.

If your goal was one giant guild for the entire server then you're on the right track

Ok, Mr. Security Expert:

What does that 'Trojan' do?

[Izmael]

I maintain a couple software projects in the cryptocurrency mining field and these things trigger every possible antivirus warning in the world (because so many actualy trojans install hidden miners on your comp).

Avast (and all/most other major antivirus editors) has a system for developers to submit new binary files, which can be done PRIOR to actual public release of the said files.

Usually takes a few days to process / analyze, and then your files no longer trigger antivirus alerts on computers who have up-to-date anvirirus definitions.

It's really a matter of, maybe 3-4 days before release, taking like 15 minutes, go through your bookmarks of such antivirus submission system and submit the new files everywhere.

[Dolalin]

Rogean: the Getting Started guide in the Starting Zone forum just sends people back to the Announcements forum. It doesn't link to the actual files. Should change that.

[Vyal]

Ok, Mr. Security Expert:

What does that 'Trojan' do?

How should I know do you see me claiming to be a security expert?

But ain't nobody new going to be okay with these patches when they get flagged with a trojan by literally every single anti virus program even windows flags it and if windows is flagging it then it's clearly doing something it shouldn't be doing. Like installing rootkits to conceal what it is doing?

All I want to know is if this issue is going to be fixed.

IF the file isn't doing anything harmful like spying on everything you do why not just send it to Avast so they can go over it and then post the response from Avast in a public thread?

[Haynar]

Ok, Mr. Security Expert:

What does that 'Trojan' do?
Damn thing breaks my maps.

Wont let me cheat.

Now its making my client more classic, breaking cycle targets.

Next thing you know, the trojan will break my scroll wheel and I will have to F9 again.

Damn you!!!!!

Damn thing breaks my maps.

Wont let me cheat.

Now its making my client more classic, breaking cycle targets.

Next thing you know, the trojan will break my scroll wheel and I will have to F9 again.

Damn you!!!!!

I don't cheat all I am saying is when someone decides they might want to try Green and they come here and they start seeing that the patch is a trojan many will not play it.

Clearly a rootkit to conceal what it does. All of this I assume is part of some anti cheating thing.

The very least you could do is send the file to Avast and have them send you back their diagnoses then post that on the forums to show people it's safe.

Some time ago a new UO server came out and had its own installer and patches. They claimed the same things "it's nothing but a false positive" so I have heard this exact line before. But in reality it was installing a bunch of things in peoples browsers.

Once people finally figured out what was going on they fixed the installer and patches to make sure there was no more malware.

Don't you want people to know the file is safe? Just send it to Avast and post their response.
i'll do it nvm

So mobs that CH and are chain mana drained are still CHing like it ain't no thang. Also when you try to cast Theft of Thought on them, you are told they have no mana.

This push change might be OK if it requires you to be more tactical about removing their mana but this pretty clearly seems like a bug.

Ever since the patch, mobs in Upper Guk (for me specifically, the AC camp) are experiencing pathing issues where instead of running/swimming away through the water as they have normally for decades, but they are now pathing ***through the wall*** (see edit below). When they pop out the other side of the wall, they are pathing ON TOP of the ceiling, and when killed their corpses are unreachable and un-lootable. This has led to several large trains in the zone over the last few days, and TOO MUCH Ancient Croc loot rotting away.

I can't believe that Upper Guk is the only zone where this is an issue.

Edit:

Upon closer inspection, fleeing crocs (from the AC camp) are not pathing through the walls... they run to the water as expected, but rather than falling into and swimming through the water, they jump up on top of the ceiling, and THEN proceed to travel through what would be a wall.

Sounds classic!

What's up with all these rogue patches with no notes, the inability to push on mobs makes the game terrible now, the mobs scaling walls in TOV the same, not sure what else has been broken but, would like you to reverse this as its really breaks the game.

Everyone should petition so they know how much of a problem it is.

Blue = Beta. Green is the end goal.

For ten years prior to Green we've all gotten a wonderful, 100% free, well-supported EverQuest server to play on. The least the devs can ask (which they never even explicitly ask, it's just sort of implied in your non-existent Terms of Service) is that we players beta test for Green a little.

If they forget to tell us that we're testing feature X ... I can live with that.

[Demonstorm]

There are no patch notes for 50B, C and D.. just for the 29th, but not subsequent patches. So whats being changed?

[Fammaden]

The push interrupt change is in the notes. Changes regarding mob pathing are as well, so the buggy pathing problems would presumably be related to that and a mistake. Everyone who pays attention the the staff comments regarding development in the forums has known the push interrupt change was coming for a long time now.

I can't donate as much as I'd like consistently, but thanks for providing this server for us. It's been a real treat to play and relive my youth these past few years.

Hey! if you download the latest patch and copy that file into you eq files, you should be good to go. Also! I'm getting a temporary block on my IP, I think because I got my wife to join up with me. How long does it take before I can log back in? Thanks!

As a enchanter i have had a hard time mezzing all the mobs without the cycle through nearest npc. Does anyone remember a good way to do it? Run up to each mob then click F8 to target nearest npc?

Just tell your anti-virus to ignore it.

Long ago I did actually get a trojan. The dam thing had a heyday. Thankfully this was in the days before I had 100 or so accounts throughout the net. Some of the accounts were lost for good; some were recovered.

Trying to explain to tech illiterate bank managers was the most daunting. Ultimately I had to just close my account and open a new one elsewhere because they didn't believe something like that could have happened.

So because of all the crap that happened years ago I'm over vigilant about this kind of crap. Maybe I should just switch to Linux but for now I'm sticking with Win10. When I log out I delete the file, reboot, run a virus checker, reboot then go about my usual time. When I feel like playing I reinstall the offending file and log in. Rinse and repeat when I log out again.

Honestly, I switched my in-laws to Linux after they kept getting viruses, and they love it. If all you do is web stuff you'll probably like it too (and EQ works via WINE).

However, really the smart thing to do is just exclude that specific file. You won't lose anti-virus protection over any other file on your computer, and you can trust that Rogean and Nilbog probably didn't put 10 years into this project just so they could act like 14-year old script kiddies and infect some strangers' computers with viruses.

When can we reserve char names? Or pre-make characters.. whatever you wanna call it.

All of my chars are on Red. Wondering if my char names will be reserved by someone else on the blue server... =/

[loramin]

You can "reserve names" now by creating a character with that name on Blue.

Well since they wiped one hundred and eighty thousand names a couple of days ago, there's probably a good selection available provided you make some on blue now.
