EQ Lite Client Guide [Auto-Script or Manually]

[jcr4990]

Can I get confirmation that this doesn't remove any files needed for Velious zones/textures or anything like that? Not sure if its been updated post-Velious or not. Last change log date I see is 03/09/2014. Trying to cut down my P99 folder to try out a Ramdisk.

Hi JCR - My script keeps all Velious files. It has since I created this script! (in anticipation of Velious being released).

Cheers!

Does the manual work also include everything needed for velious?

Thanks

[FatMagic]

Yes, it should include everything for Velious (unless the P99 staff has added or kept additional zones that I'm not aware of).

Maybe someone can provide some insight:

I'm trying to get this to work, but I'm on a mac running eq through wineskin.

Since my actual path is

macintoshHD>users>me>desktop>eq>contents>resources >drive_c>Program Files>Sony<EverQuest

I've dropped the .bat file into drive_c

Now I open up my terminal, navigate to the drive_c and try ./eqlite.bat and I'm stuck

It won't copy everything as it's not recognizing the path specified in the .bat file which looks like this:

cd\
set eqlite_dir=c:\EQLite
mkdir "%eqlite_dir%"
cd drive_c:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest

I've also tried

cd\
set eqlite_dir=c:\EQLite
mkdir "%eqlite_dir%"
cd drive_c\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest

cd\
set eqlite_dir=c:\EQLite
mkdir "%eqlite_dir%"
cd c:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest

with no luck, any ideas?

You're running this from within Wineskin, right?
If you're at a CLI in Wineskin, and you're at the root folder of the Windows installation, what do you get back when you type 'cd' and press enter?

Whatever it's returning is what your path format should look like in the batch script. Running scripts is all about system and/or user context.

So if you get back this for the root of C: in Windows:

Some_Drive:\

...then your script should look like this:

cd\
set eqlite_dir=Some_Drive:\EQLite
mkdir "%eqlite_dir%"
cd Some_Drive:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest

Note that you need to update the path to the EQ program files directory, as well as the path in the eqlite_dir variable as well.

I've added this great script to the wiki to make it easier for others to find it:

Thank you! I haven't tested this script in a while, so if there are any issues let me know and I can fix it.

Actually just tried it today. Unfortunately it deleted "mss32.dll", and it wouldn't even start without it. So I replaced the file from my original, but then it crashed after the loading screen (with no message).

So, it seems it's being it bit too aggressive in what it deletes.

Is there a list of contents not needed in the EQ directory? I'm running EQ on mac using wine and fear trying to copy directories over or anything like that. I would like to remove files not needed. Thanks.
