New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

It's not small at all. I was thinking of playing again on the Red server. But with this in place? No way. What's the point?

Went to type something out, then thought of this -

In all fairness, do not forget this is nothing extraordinary or unprecedented in scope. He didn't birth anything that your or I could not do on our own, were we to be educated in the means. I am certainly not perhaps you can.

The obvious solution is to remove /loc on red!

This man is clearly a connoisseur of immersion. What is your immersion threshold for wanting to play? The average player must be at least 50% as immersed as you? Maybe 40-45% is more realistic.

LOL.

Um, but truly, immersion is something that HAS to come game-side. If everyone isn't playing by the same rules in a multi-player game, then it will never work for an individual. You can try to not twink, you can try to do dungeon crawls and outdoor hunts instead of static camps, you can try to not use GPS, but if other people aren't doing the same then it inherently ruins your own attempts when you group with them.

That would be awesome.

Should just enable maps so this virus doesn't infect everyone.

whatever happened to mental maps? eq zones have many landmarks in them that people can use to generate a mental map of a zone. they can also memorize the old eq atlas ones. sense heading and land marks are all you need to navigate around. folks jus wanna be all lazy

Did you run the exe instead of the bat file?

I put up a README (and you can view formatted on my github posted in the OP).

If the thing launches without issue (the exe) you'll just see the REPL (the * prompt).

Running the bat will launch the exe and your default web browser opened to the localhost:4444 URL this runs on.

Ambrotos, not sure what you're talking about a virus (maybe trying to spread FUD)?

All the code is open sourced on my site, you can compile it yourself, also I've had problem free auction tracker exes for log uploading available for the last 2+ years on p99.

haha dude I was poking fun

I'll try the readme tonight, I'm sure it was just user error/me being sloppy/rushed

I keep getting http://localhost:4444/ could not be found. I take it this is an issue on my side? Any quick suggestions for a fix that I can just google.

Look in the console that opened with the browser, if it says something like "NIL is not a STRING value" it means your EQ path could not be found automatically.

In a future release I'll have some more helpful setup interfaces so you could just browse to it etc., and set the path.

For the time being, make sure you have in settings.lisp a line such as:

(setf *eq-path* "C:/Your/Custom/Location/")

Note that you need to remove the ;; (semi-colons) in front of the sample path, and include the trailing slash (and use forward slashes).
