You are probably just as far as they are Sakrateri, and they don't have a public login either, they're using an older version of EQW to access the worldserver directly, bypassing any login.
I would love to hear more about your "hacks" to the Kunark client to get it working :)
PM me sometime about it, would really appreciate it.

P.S. ......... I have lots of old-school spawn files :)

/golf clap

ahh, Matt... I thought Wizzel had hit the sweet spot myself, but I digress. Obviously a forum littered with personal attacks will do little to further our work on the project itself. Maybe the post that elicited Wizzel ought to be examined as well :-)

But Sakrateri, your work towards an EQ classic client and game is awsome, keep it up. I prefer the new game myself, well up until are the LDoN, DoN eras anyway, but I can see the appeal in going back to the old and familiar that most of us knew.

Since there are atleast two projects going on surrouding the EQ classic game, I wonder if Doodman can be coaxed into adding a second LS server to support this, unless neither project wants to hook to the mothership so to speak and have other plans.

Never mind....

Nah, the admins here pick who they dislike carefully and edit accordingly. I'm sure this will be deleted, too.

Too bad I missed Wizzel's rant. I sorta like them now. ;)

The server looks very interesting Sak. Are you planning this to be LAN and Online? Or just LAN?

Right now it is Lan. I have been able to get an old PublicLogin working with it that only supports up to 12 accounts but its a bit iffy right now. I am confident that after it gets out there that there are people much more proficient then I in programming that will be able to fix this thing up even better. I have come back to America now to get a Fianc'e visa to England and my computers and all my programs to work on this are still over there, I could be here a couple of months so until I get back there, theres not alot I can do on this but work on it I will when I get back. I want people to know that may have seen the video I posted that the sound is just fine, I was missing some snd files in that copy of kunark I had for some reason but took them all from a patched up to date client and the sound worked just fine then.

More work and less talk I say-
These forums are incredible! no one wants to do a damned thing but talk, criticize. Every day I come in here hoping to find something new for the project , and all I see is stuff like this.
Reminds me of my my "Fireman" days; we had very few fires, so plenty of time to gossip and fight with each other.

Eh? lost me there Angel??

Penguins.

Oi! At least it's not in the "good ol' days" where people used rocks as a game and whoever bled the most won. =P. You'll have to post some screenies of DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS!!!!!!

For old sailors !
 

Yes , boats do work... Not a small skiff but a full blown sailing vessel of old ...

Would ya look at that. What a sight to see! Nice work, pal.

No fake... people's desire to be uppity and flamish nearly kills all desire to work on things like this. On the other hand, even caring support gets tiring when it manifests itself in complete idiocy. I'm not talking about here, btw.

Heh. I hear that one.

He must be referring to nearly every public WoW community. ;)

God, I cant wait for this to be released. I still have my original EQ and kunark disc. The first thing I'm gonna do is bash in some skellies in gfaydark and walk to the docks in butcher and take a ride. I'm also going to do something I never did before and time how long the boat ride from butcherblock to freeport takes.

Nice work Sak, it seems like a lot of people have taken interest in this type of project ever since the classic server PEQ/CEQ spawned.

We have something similar going on at http://www.mrzioto.com/ ( thread: http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?p=140436 )

Got the world completely populated, I have found a way to use even the newest database with this old client, This saves me ALOT of work. you can see in the screenshots in my game gallery here GALLERY where I have track up that the zones are full of mobs.

WOW looking good :) thats great to see

Oh how I have missed tracking "a stonegazer cock". Thank you, Sak. This looks awesome ;)

Gunthak on an Old Client

^ click me ^

Great job Sak, looking forward to this.

You're the man, Sak!

gah! i cant wait

I can't wait either!
 

Yes I cannot wait either... literally!!! I have the emulator configured and ready to go but for some reason I cannot get my EQ trilogy to connect to the server. Can you post a patch or info on how to mod the client end? I wanna get this working with minilogin at least... I NEED IT!!!!!!

Trilogy
 

You have to have the Titanium version disk set.

... Darktides... /glare Soulshot ;)

No.....
 

NO.......He stated this is done with a hacked kunark client. I have a kunark CD which is everquest trilogy... classic, velious, and kunark. I am trying to use it with emulator 2.3 but not able to get it to work and I think it is due to the client since sak stated his client is hacked. I want the "hack" or patch for it so i can get it to work even if it's just by myself. Please sak!! I need it!! (Desperately seeking retro EQ!!!) That is before Sony messed it all up. I have my own titanium server right now. I hate it. I want the original everquest UI and models. i can get the old models to work with titanium but it;s not enough.

As stated earlier I do not have access to my files right now except the database.

Great Job!
 

It's looking good! When do you think you'll have a playable beta?

I do not plan on having a playable beta as such, before public release I am going to let a select few (that have allready been selected) try it out for a day or 2 to make sure all is ok and then it will be publicly available.

As for a time frame I am hoping to have this out within a few weeks of my arrival back in England (I leave the US christmas eve.)

As stated before this will be far from perfect but it will be playable with a full mob, item, and loot database.

My wish is that there will be enough people wanting to play and work on this together to get it working to its full potential. I hope that people will share here any fixes and updates that will make it as good as I am sure it can be.

Can we get an update?
 

Looking back, there's traffic on this thread every few weeks with more information. I wonder if I could bug you for an update, Sakrateri. I'm definitely interested in contributing to the success of your project :) Just let me know when I can give it a whirl.

This is the version of EQ that I am using Kunark

You can get that which will work out of the box or if you register on my forums you will be able to get a program that hacks the exe and then be able to use any version you like.

I am about ready to give this out including the EQEMu2.3 with a database sql to source in that is populated up to PoP.

Just doing a little more testing to make sure it is going to work ok for everyone and then it will be available.

Its Here !
 

The files needed for this can be found on my forums once you register, As I am not sure of the legality of giving programs that hack exe's I am not going to post it here BUT It seems to work with every version of EQ ( even tried with an up to date version and it worked fine) and if you have any version that it does not work with please let me know which one.

The EQEMU server is also available there BUT again, REMEMBER this is in no way a finished product and needs lots of work still, however you can play and kill mobs and see old graphics, spells and mobs. Just Please, Please work together by posting fixes here and I think together this will be a solid working server.

I do not have alot of time right now so i figured it best to give it out to all the smart people here and together with what time we have then it will all come together... Please enjoy :)

I'll behind ya 100% of the way sak, Working on my project right now, only thing is still using eqemu / peq db.... (customizing)

Trying to make my own classic server.... If you think i may be able to help pm me and i can tell ya my qualities.

Server OP

so whatever happened with this?

is there anyway to just steal the interface from my kunark cd's and use it on my up-to-luclin (not including luclin) server?

otherwise, can i play on yours? :grin:
