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

Great program! This is what EQ was about early on when people set up websites, built parsers, and created things that were not already in game. No one is forced to use this and there are no unfair advantages due to the fact that zone layouts don't change. Keep up the good work!

Exactly true. How do you think we all ended up playing on an EQEmulator site? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Its because of folks who do things like this that we can even play (real) EQ today.

Some people are having issues with non-standard install paths.

For this, you can edit the settings.lisp file to point to your custom path, if that still does not work (it seems it may have trouble going over different drives, if you have EQ on Z:/Games/EverQuest or something) the easiest solution is to create a shortcut/symlink so you can get to the EQ files via the standard path:

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest

wtb exe

Its up in main post, download the 7z file and unzip it, the exe is right there (just click and run it).

Well, technically you click the bat file so it can launch your web browser and the exe at once.

Oh, I hadn't followed this thread since the initial post saying there would be an exe soon

Right on, I'll give it a whirl

Thanks!

I ended up solving the issue with the nonstandard path but moved my eqinstall to a standard path anyway. I am still having some issues with this though.

1. It doesnt seem to work in the 2 or 3 zones ive tried, it always defaults back to ecommonlands

2. even when in EC it doesnt show my character moving or anything. I have a loc macro setup and the log files seem to be named correctly.

Anyone else seeing these issues?

Ya'll bitching about this are idiots. The goal of the devs is the recreate a classic server environment. What one does with the information coming out of the game client is and always has been past where SOE/P99 devs have cared about.
