They run their own server code. They may have broken away from older emus before titanium. So my question is, is it easier to change the code on the client to repair spell effects, sky, water, animations etc. or is it easier to change the server to work with any client before titanium?

If I had to bet, I would say that this client would connect to the EQMU just fine. Its the login server that I'm having the issue with. If you check out the Emu, it has op codes for all the older clients. Its the login server and the EQHost.txt file that are different.

Great work.

I had to chance to try these out today. Even if it isn't 100%, it is an incredible improvement over what existed and has my blessing.

Is this being added to the auto-changed files when launching from eqemu anytime soon?

[Rhambuk]

you guys went WAY above and beyond to help provide the community with the most accurate emu server.

Thank you, SO MUCH!

Awesome work, I haven't logged into EQ Classic for over a year and a half but I think I will just to see these spell changes!

Excellent work guys!

Are these fixes live with Patch 28?

No but you can get the latest revision from the tech discussion. It's stickied there.

Didn't read thread so not sure if it's been said, but at level 25 the healing spells, you would get the sphere of blue particles around you when casting, as it does when you get it casted on you.

If that makes any sense, not sure at all how to word it. But I remember, wanting to be a healer so bad because I thought it was badass.

Particle colours are out of whack as well... "back in the day" a Lvl 1 casting shield type spells (Skin Like Wood, Minor Shielding etc) would just be casting green.

At 24 (iirc) this would go up to green/(yellow/orange).

At 39 (iirc) this would go up to green/(yellow/orange)/blue.

You could always tell the pro players buffing people in Greater Faydark by some of their spell particles.

Not limited to shields either, extra strands of particles seemed to be added to the slow/tashan effects and the intensity of nuke effects. The shields I'm 100% on, the others...were they definitely pre-Kunark or added later?

This is one that has bothered me a bit as well. I remember my first character on live looking forward to getting to level 24 to get the orange buff effects, and then being surprised by the level 39 effects.

Not sure when they changed it, but I stopped playing on live during PoP and dont remember the particle effects being the same for all levels.

Those issues should be fixed in the latest file download. I'm not sure though, they're fixed in the version of the file I use.
