Yea the vanilla stuff has been up since last night. Sadly am sure with the compile here having some active stuff and all the plugins it will take a bit to get them totally stable. Only a matter of time and a metric crapton of work.This downtime is worrying me. There's a man on the Everquest Facebook page, basically saying, "Nyah nyah. MQ2 will never work again (under 64 bit version.)" Someone responded that he was using it right now. Maybe it's his vanilla compile or something?
This downtime is worrying me.
MQNext update is being worked on. Link above Dewey's will get you the basics for live. We just need time fix everything and get our release system sorted for it.
There are some big discussions about MQ64 vs MQNext and where the community wants to head that needs to happen. Then the whole truebox server restrictions needs to be addressed. I really don't want to open these can of worms quite yet. Our focus is getting live out, then test out for next, and make sure all our tools are setup to handle future patches quickly. Then once these urgent problems are addressed, we can start dialog above which I think may get a bit heated, as people have differences of opinions on this.
Don't panic.
Everything will be fine.
Most of the basic plugins are working.
I expect Fry and company to be able to push a "vanilla" version of the code at some point soon.
The custom plugins that use non standard offsets and detours require those to be rewritten using a different method and will of course take longer.
Next came about when I was taking a break from game, what is the difference and how difficult AND especially how better is it than MQ we all have used for yrsI switched to MQnext sometime ago and love it !!!
I guess I need to be careful with definitions as well since we are at a turning point with the various incarnations of macro quest.
MQ2 vs MQ64 vs MQNext ( which seems to be moving to just MQ ? ) is a bit confusing.
What will be my signal to switch to Next?
What will be my signal to switch to Next?
There's really no need not to move to Next at this point.
