Bump. Is there any comprehensive/easy-to-follow guide on getting the wolf and skeleton models back to classic yet? Thanks.

Not going to happen until all the skeleton models are changed server side. And one down side effect is that no one has found a way to get the brown skeleton models to appear, thus I think some necro's would be pissed if their high level pets looked like their level 1 pet.

Did the "Luclin" skeleton model (not the current LDON model) ever have a dark-boned version? If not, that might explain why we can't get a dark boned one to appear with the classic skeleton.

For those that don't remember:

Classic Skeleton (white and brown)

These screenshots will tide me over until the real deal comes!

I had completely forgotten about the Luclin skeletons. Looking forward to the possibility of old school skeletons and wolves, though.

There's no possible way to do skeletons because it would involve distributing illegal clientside files, we've narrowed it down to that.

Sorry.

What if "unnamed people" were able to obtain these "illegal clientside files" on their own. Could you guys turn on the functionality so that these files would work if people had them?

Also how did you get a hold of the files? I have 2 or 3 different versions of EQ sitting around. Surely its not illegal for me to get them for myself off a disk I own.

It has nothing to do with "acquiring files" that are on an EQ cd. Specific files in your folder have to be modified with a special program to get this to work *in addition* to server side changes being made. Thus, either the P1999 team would have to distribute these modified files (illegal and not happening), or everyone would have to modify the files themselves (possible but not easy).

The biggest problem is that *everyone* would have to modify their files, otherwise those that don't will end up with the ugly-tastic "Luclin" skeleton models.

At least getting the wolf models back are easier.

If this server is going to be around for a long time we should eventually make a program that modify the eqhost.txt as well as renaming the new zone files to .bak and all the other changes to play on this server. Why couldn't modifying the model files be part of this. Distributing old files is one thing but modifying some hex values is easy and not the same thing.
