HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[Nyme]

Finally got my wrapper uploaded to Dropbox. It works with OS Mojave (10.14.6), not tested with Catalina. I think there might be a small issue with the ui where it shows a small error when you log in (but works fine). Should be fixable by downloading the patch and reapply to the UI folder.

Thanks. In the end, this was virtually plug and play for me (I just really didn't know what I was doing with Mac and all this Wine stuff).

Just to be clear for anyone trying this -- the wrap in the dropbox does not have the p99 patch files applied. You'll need to apply those by opening "package contents" and going into the folder.

I also got some errror about info.plist and permissions; I was able to fix this by moving the package directly to my desktop. It didn't work from a folder in my desktop -- I had to put it right on the desktop.

I'm getting this same info.plist error when using Nyme's wrapper, but don't understand what exactly you're having on your desktop to fix it? I've added the wineskin's entire package to the desktop along with each individual folder and none of those attempts worked. just getting the same error

Nyme,

When I run the game I am getting that UI error. I applied the patch to the UI folder but it's still happening.

The main issue with this "Your XML files are not compatible with current EverQuest files, certain windows may not perform correctly. Use "/loadskin Default 1" to load the Everquest default skin." error is that now the main menu does not show up in game.

I can bring up settings and everything else using the hotkeys, but I can't easily access the menus. Are you seeing this on your side as well?

Could be related to this thread? https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=335951

You can also try alt/command + O to see if it opens?

OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I spent two days messing with with my own wrapper to no avail and your wrapper WORKED LIKE A CHARM. I LOVE YOU.

Only additional step is adding in the most recent patch files.

Running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

Vile’s wrapper is RIP
Nyme’s wrapper is verified operational up to Mojave 10.14.6
i advise against upgrading macOS to Catalina

Thank you Lulz!!!

After hours of experimenting different issues I tried Nyme's wrapper, I add the new patch, and was able to log in. The problem is I can't see the world properly.

I can see NPCs/PCs, Doors, and Trees that are immediately around me....but nothing else? The horizon is infinite and I'm boxed in my starting zone. Any recommendations?

I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro and am running High Sierra.

Any help is appreciated. used to play back in the day and so excited to re explore.

After spending hours combing through all the different options, your file worked perfectly! Just updated some of the files from the recent patch, and bomb - worked right away. Thanks so much!
