My Getting Started Thread - Help!

[bOONDOGGLE]

Hey man, i've only started playing Project 1999 a few weeks back and I had a whole lot of trouble trying to install everything manually.

I got pretty much every error you mention (spells out of date, error when going fullscreen, etc.)

What you need to do is look up Duxa's Project 1999 Installer.

Basically you can select from a ton of different options for what type of setup you want (old music vs new music, etc etc) and it changes all of the appropriate files for you.

All you need is to download Titanium then run the Installer. The good thing is not only does it setup everything for you, but you can just run it again if you want to change the settings (you don't have to uninstall the game).

Duxa's Installer will automatically install the EQ Emu Launcher which is an application to help you connect to the Project 1999 servers. The main benefit of this is that it will automatically check your files and update whichever ones are out of date (that's how I got past the spell files error - since the manual download locations are no longer up).

As for the full screen issue: When you run Duxa's Installer it will ask you if you want to play in windowed or fullscreen mode. Select full screen and it will then automatically run in a fullscreen windowed mode (as in, it is still technically windowed, but the window is the size of the screen). For some reason I cannot get Project 1999 to run in actual full screen mode without the error.

Let me know how this helps and what other questions you have (like I said, I ran into pretty much every error in the book).

Also what is your character's name? I'll look you up.
