Can someone please explain how to update the wrapper and the engine? I tried to follow the post but the wine-skin still says it is version 2.5

Thanks

Got it working now, the wrapper can be updated via the advanced settings and tools.

Got it running now, but still need some finetuning with gamma and resolution.
My Specs:
15' MacBook Pro Retina
2,7 Ghz i7
16 GB DDR3L
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1 GB GDDR5
Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Thanks for this guide!

Up before today, I have never touched wine, wineskin, winery, or any other type of "wine" program.

That being said, I have carefully read and followed the instructions on Phobus' post and the Project1999 program seems to not want to open. I checked the eqclient.ini file and it definitely doesn't have the .txt extension. Other than winery/wineskin, do I have to download some other type of wine program?

EDIT- Updating Wineskin did the trick.

Has anyone figured out how to fix the mouse turning lockup?

Lowering max frame rate adjusts how wide of an angle you can mouse look before it goes to shit.

Would sell my soul for a complete fix to that.

Please explain "goes to shit"? Using Linux, the issue I've been having with mouse-look is that I cannot continuously mouse-look. I can do X-degrees (I think somewhere around 140deg mouse-look turn), and then the turn angle locks and it switches over to zooming the camera in and out. I don't know why it does it, it didn't do it on Windows, and its annoying. I'd like to be able to perpetually mouse-look turn as long as I'm holding down the right mouse button. Is this the same issue you are having?

This is the same issue I am having, somewhat. On the OSX side I can mouselook left/right for about 180 degrees before my cursor leaves the EQ Window, which removes focus from it/requires me to reclick/restart mouselook.

I've noticed that the x degrees is tied to width of the EQ window and also to the max FPS. Maxing EQ as wide as my monitor's native resolution and putting it down to 30 max fps allows me to turn 360+ degrees continuously, but still has the previously mentioned issue with anything past that.

edit: also the "mouse sensitivity" setting is tied to the amount of degrees. Low sensitivity = low degrees. I have mine at 100 which does not change the actually sensitivity of the mouse, heh

So if there was a patch like there was today and I dont have EQMU launcher set up on my mac ( think its windows only?) how do i do update the files that need to be updated? Is it as simple as clicking on the files from p99 homepage and copy and pasting them in my p99 folder? Thank you !

Yes. Sort of.

The only thing you need to be careful of is, if you copy one folder over another in Finder, everything in the existing folder will be removed and you will only have the contents of the new one.

Sometimes the patches include files with in the Resources folder, so you have to be careful otherwise you'll end up deleting stuff inadvertently.
