Default Unknown Zone in Underfoot Client

From the research I've tried doing on the topic, it looks like all non-Titantium clients have a few zones they cannot reach. The more revamped zones exist in the version, the more that are unreachable. Yes?

At any rate, I'd like to try to get on someone's radar the issue where a user with a newer client tries to zone into a zone and is then in limbo because the EQ client cannot find the file the server thinks its supposed to be in.

Specifically, I've noticed this when trying to get into:
High Pass Hold
Nektulos Forest
Bastion of Thunder

My suggestion would be to have the server detect client version and send players to the correct zone name depending on client version. Can this be fixed server side?

Otherwise, can anyone tell me how to fix this?

There is code to support this, in particular the client_version_mask field in the doors and zonepoints tables.

Post 15 in this thread explains how the mask works:

The current PEQ database has entries for several revamped zones (including high pass hold) to send the various clients to the correct version, however this is currently broken in Underfoot. The SQL to fix it for Underfoot is here:

for the record, no client side fixes except the legal procurement of the Titanium install?

For zones missing in the default UF install, you can copy them from another client version that has it if you have another. You would just need to find all files associated with that zone and copy them over and restart the UF client.
