Find? I wrote that from scratch LOL [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And from the AppDB [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The vertex setting in source code was described there, luckily - or I wouldn't have been playing for months [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for the write-up though!

Is anybody currently running EQ in Linux via Wine?

Not only do I have the "no models" problem, even after modifying the source and compiling myself, but when I login, it tells me that I don't have the latest spell files. I have checked and re-checked to make sure I actually have the latest files... permissions look fine, as well.

The link to download the eqclient.ini in the original post is broken, so I don't know if there are crucial settings in there that I'm missing to get the models to show. I did turn off all pixelshader options in the ini file, but still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My config:
Kubuntu 11.10
ATI Radeon HD 5770 x2 (crossfire) w/proprietary drivers
Everquest Titanium

Check to see if you have both a DSETUP.dll and dsetup.dll in your default folder. If so, try backing up/deleting the DSETUP.dll file.

That was the case -- I haven't seen that before. I no longer get the "outdated error". Thanks.

I am still having the issue with the invisible char models. Am I doomed with the ATI cards? (5770 x 2)

The only time I ever ran into that was when I either forgot to add pCaps->MaxVertexBlendMatrices=0x4; to directx.c, or put it in the wrong place, and then built wine. I never tried it with an ATI card so I can't offer any advice there.
