Project 1999 - 15 Questions!

Project 1999 (/forums/index.php)

- Blue Server Chat (/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17)

- - 15 Questions! (/forums/showthread.php?t=81360)

I'm getting about 10 friends started on P'99 at an upcoming LAN/EQ training session and I just need clarification on some things, because... it's been a decade :)

The wiki did answer many questions, but I still wonder about the following (default UI):

1. Do chat channels exist in P'99? If so, how do you create/join one?
2. How do you display the last thing/things you typed in chat?
3. Evolving Items, Shroud Progression, Radiant/Ebon Crystals/Reclaim button, AA points, and Dye are not used in P'99, correct?
4. In the action window, what does the Find button do? Is it the same as Forage?
5. In display options, how does Near Clip work for particles?
6. In mouse options, what is Look Spring?
7. In display options, what is LOD Bias?
8. Are target rings broken?
9. In display options (advanced), what does the Dynamic Sky Reflection size change?
10. In general options, what does Allow Context Menus do?
11. In the skills window, is the Make Hotkey button not used in P'99?
12. How does binding work in P'99? Is it called binding? Can you bind anywhere? Who can bind?
13. Where can I find a chart with class/race experience gains/penalties?
14. Is there any way to save/apply the same UI layout on multiple characters?
15. Is there any way to keep track of quests short of pen-and-paper?

Thanks beforehand :o

you may seriously want to look into some IP exemptions for a 10-person lan party

Way ahead of you :p

this sounds like a blast, hope u guys stick it out after the party!

Lol 10 lvl 1s running around...this is going to be the worst best party of all time.

i envy you.

I would love to have like a 10 man lan party every weekend for 6-8 hours.

That would be the perfect way to play

Just get in there and play IMO. The answers to half of your esoteric questions don't even matter.

Navigate to your main Everquest directory. Take the character name whose UI you have already set up. Find UI_CharacterName_project1999.ini. Copy-paste this file and replace CharacterName with the name of the character who will inherit these UI settings.

The wiki contains information on quests submitted by users. You're expected to do some amount of work rather than relying on a quest log, so you may need to use a pen and some paper.
