[GUIDE] Using Luclin character models in P99

[A1rh3ad]

Yeah since the new method seems legit (cant make skeletons human to exploit or something like that) ive been using the luclin models on and off. Ive been doing things like adding dx9 features like bloom and motion blur (which fixed the incredible frame skipping with shadows issue), upgraded the textures to the HQ ones, new water in old zones, alternative spell effects, changed windows midi sound font, and put in the old loading screen/character select/combat music. The gameplay is still classic but it looks so much better on the eyes. This is everything I ever wanted. I couldnt get into the game back then because I couldnt stand how it looked. Now it looks so much better so I can enjoy the classic difficulty without the eyerape. This has to be my favorite mmo sofar.

Are you still able to use Luclin models? I tried to install them but it didn't work, even though I followed the directions.

Nope, it won't work anymore. Even though they have the texture pack for Luclin pinned in a guide and encourages its use (eliminating the "its classic" reason since you can still swap to Luclin textures), they explicitly server-side disabled it for those that prefer Luclin models (affecting no one else if you had it on). They also did this to the sky/water.

I recommend the HD texture project.

Pretty sure these were disabled as the different character models allowed some geometry exploits or something. That and they're ugly / not classic.

Yeah bannable offense for liking luclin graphics.

This method no longer works as mentioned. If I recall there was some configuration changes that needed to be made for Velious prep/launch

There are definitely geometry differences. Large races can run full speed through Unrest and parts of Neriak that definitely required ducking. New water becomes translucent giving unfair advantage over classic players.

Just bumping to emphasize my disgust for classic models. Luclin models hurt no one. Unrest running? go fuck yourself. thats not a real reason. This is tyranny. this is personal preference forced on everyone else while we simultaneously get xp% stock on UI and all of the other non classic jazz. The fact that i can tab to wiki is not classic. This whole fucking thing is non classic. At least give luclin models to blue, fuck!
