little sky-problem

Hi all
I have the prob that all the skies in EQ r black.
It must be a client prob because I have it on each server and on my other PC.
I read here in this forum that it has something to do with the new DX9 skies and that I hav to change the sky.s3d with an old one.
I did this but it didnt help.
Maybe someone has a clue what I have to do to reactivate them?

cfg files

The servers you are on prolly don't have these... If you do 2 layer 3dsky in client you get cool purple and black clouds. But, if server has the cfg files the sky/fog/darkness of zones will be more like "live"

as far as i know you can't.

not until you upgrade to 5.8 when it's finished. Because you must have the live client to have the new skies

ya, I don't even know what the new skys in EQLive look like =) Been two years since I have played.. But the cfg files can be found here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=88515

All you have to do is hit one link from main page to find it =P

edit-place the .cfg files into "\eqemuserverfiles\cfg\ " dirrectory..

they are already there in the proper place.

That's not the issue. we are stumped as to what the issue is. it simply refuses to load them.

Code:

Reading zhdr file './cfg/oasis.cfg'

Using database for safe coords.

Zone safe coords are x = 903.98; y = 490.03; z= 6.4

Couldn't find/read ./cfg/.cfg. (returning -1)

Corrupt (or nonexistant) zhdr file ./cfg/.cfg -- fread count = -1 (should be 588)

Using default zone header data...

o.O
