Iksar Animation Fixes (2HS, Archery)
For some inexplicable reason, the Titanium client corrupts the Iksar male 2HS and Archery animations while loading them. The animation data itself is fine -- and identical to what came with the original Kunark CD -- and earlier clients like the Trilogy client don't have the same problem.
In short, these... http://i.imgur.com/JSUnu2W.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/82NZXSM.gif ...are not classic. I recently stumbled onto a fix for this. Moving the animation data around in the client datafile that contains it magically makes the problem go away. So I made a "one click tool" to do just that. (The code for the tool can be found here.) Steps: 1) Download p99-iksar-anim-oneclick.exe from the link provided. 2) Put p99-iksar-anim-oneclick.exe into your EQ folder. 3) Double click p99-iksar-anim-oneclick.exe in your EQ folder (or run it from the command line, if that's your style). A console window will pop up and briefly inform you of its progress, and any errors it runs into. If all goes well it shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 seconds. The tool automatically makes a backup of the file that needs to be edited (global4_chr.s3d, backed up as global4_chr.zae) before it does anything. http://i.imgur.com/Iri6nzh.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/9QOuOAq.gif The fix may also apply to the same animations for Iksar skeletons, guards and citizens, due to the way animation data is shared between models. Troubleshooting: * If your EQ folder is in /Program Files/ or /Program Files (x86)/, you'll need to either run the tool as admin (right click -> Run as administrator) or move your EQ folder somewhere else. The tool makes a backup file in your EQ folder to make it possible to revert the data file it edits; newer Windows versions don't let programs create files in folders under Program Files by default for security reasons. * If you can't run the tool and it complains about a missing dll, you may need to download and run vcredist_x86.exe from Microsoft here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=29 |

More awesome work done by the p99 texture crew.
Nice fix Zaela! @Rogean / Nilbog You guys should consider working with the texture crew. They have found and located the classic AoW (that has wings) seen in the original velious launch trailer. They also found the Akanon Kings original half gnome half mechanic model. I believe they need something from You to be able to implement those models. At the very least I wish that p99 staff would support or sticky pin the graphic update when it is released. They kept everything strictly classic , the end result is just a crisp no blur HD remake of Everquest. Adding another level to the immersion and nostalgia. |
