RoF2 Client Comes to EQEmu!

[vsab]

Do we need .txc files from a titanium install (I've not included them)? I've done a diff of steam vs titanium and there are 200+ files missing, and compared to live 700+ files are missing (although ROF2 is 2 expansions behind now).

Again, for anyone installing the client, you can refer to the Play Guide as linked in the news post. It includes information for setting up the client like making sure not to patch and to just copy your files.

vsab,

The missing Titanium files look like they are mostly the zone files for zones that have been replaced with newer versions. This is the same issue as we have seen with the UF client. In order to access the old versions of the zones, you would need to copy the zone files over from an older client (such as Titanium, SoF, or SoD). They started removing old zones with the UF client and I am sure it will remain that way for all clients going forward.

The RoF2 client is still much more complete than the base UF client from Steam was. The base UF client was missing files other than just the zone files and even included a partial dbstr_us.txt file which means there were a lot of unknown db string errors for stuff like AAs, spells and others. The RoF2 client is a complete client, but it is just missing the old zone files that are no longer used on Live.

I don't think any of the Live files would be needed, though you may be able to copy some over to get access to newer stuff like maybe new Icons and Weapon/Armor models.

I followed the steps on the installation guide having downloaded today. It informs me the client may not be compatible. (I have not patched the client, Followed the instructions to the "T" Please don't tell me they have patched already? or am I a NEEEWWBB..

Where are you getting the message that it may not be compatible? What screen/step are you on from the playguide?

Doesn't look like they have updated the download yet according to this:

And on the topic of hotkeys, you can still make the old slot based hotkeys by holding ALT+Click instead of just holding Click. In RoF2, holding Click now creates an item-based hotkey that will follow the item if you move it around your inventory. This new feature has not been implemented, but hopefully will be before too long (at the very least to reduce confusion as many people have posted about this "issue").

One small issue I have noticed with the F2P client, is with getting a clicky shortcut from an inventory slot and dragging it to the hotbar.

detail:
-top level inventory slot with a clicky item in it.

-by left-clicking and holding(then getting an icon that can be placed on the hotbar) instead of the inventory item, it keeps pulling up my charm slot item.

-so now my charm slot item icon is on my cursor, if I try to put that icon on my hotbar, it just disappears.


I tried this on my own server, and thought it was something that I may have screwed up, so I tried it on EZ server and the same conditions happened there as well. (clicking on top level inventory item, only to have the charm slot appear on my cursor) on EZ server I left-clicked(held) on an inventory item, and the Noobie Charm v1 appeared on my cursor.

-on both servers, the charm slot shortcut icon appeared on my cursor, when I was no where close to clicking on my charm slot (I was in the inventory)

Please disregard my previous post. I just read in the Dev thread, that apparently, this is a known issue:

5. Item Hotkeys - The new Item Hotkey always shows the item in the Charm slot due to an issue with how item headers are serialized now. This is a new feature in addition to the old slot based hotkeys.
