Luclin Graphics - Page 2

Zaela · #1 12-12-2016, 10:06 PM

As I posted back when the globalload change happened, it would be really, really easy to block the current workaround. The canonical globalload.txt has a line where globalpcfroglok_chr.s3d is loaded. To show LoY froglok models. These aren't classic. The workaround depends on this line being there for the models to animate at all (it's the only one with the right settings in the TTFF part). It's unlikely anyone would put up with Luclin models that are stuck in their ragdoll pose 100% of the time.

It's been a year and a half since that was pointed out. I don't think the devs care very much about this issue. Plus when they did make the globalload change, they did not say anything about it. If they came out and unambiguously said "Luclin models are against the rules," I'd stop giving out the workaround (not that it would be relevant if they spent 30 seconds or so editing the canonical globalload file to cripple it). But as long as their stance isn't available anywhere noticeable, banning anyone for using the workaround would seem a bit unfair. So for the time being, it's out there for those who want it.

They can ban me if they ever come around to it. I've played p99 for all of 5 hours or so. I don't even like Luclin models, personally. I just know a bit about EQ's data formats, and the only thing that is good for is making little tools.

I'm sure the elemental Luclin graphics work because I had to turn them off under options at log in when i first started [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Old world armor was successfully transitioned to Luclin models. Velious armor was NOT adapted properly. There was a project for it that was nixed before completion in favor of EQ2 development. The Velious armor tends to disappear into the geometry of the Luclin models.

I will now show you my druid on live with the Luclin model + Velious textures so you can share my horror. His BP is a crystal chitin chestguard, aka Velious plate, while his legs and gloves are high elf cultural chain, feet are coldain skin boots, and wrist is a serpentine bracer (old world textures chain, leather, and plate respectively).

Needless to say, I have the classic models enabled on live for fashionquest purposes :P
