Question for a possible plugin...

[Brano11]

Anybody remember when they changed everybody for april fool's...is there some way to keep my EQ like that in stick figures cause i loved having to lag at all....

There is a way, you would need the .DLL they used to turn you into a Red Stick or find someone who has it. I had it for awhile, but my computer crashed, and i forgot to back up that file :/

guaranteed you can find that at eqinterface or something like that... I looked for it a few weeks after it went back to normal and found in there I believe.

or...

Now to be able to toggle it... So main client has normal models, and the extra 3 bot's clients are stickfigure.

How I do get this to work? I use different folders for multiple instances of eq on one computer. How would I use it? This might help me out a ton with my lag.

 

[Brano11]

So i just take out my DX9 file and replace it? and ty for the file!

 

[Brano11]

When i delete the dx9 file and replace it with that one when i patch EQ it trys to download it again...there someway i can make it not download that file?

 

[Bearcub]

Either skip the patcher or paste it in after you patch, but before you launch?

 

[Brano11]

ive tried typing /patchme and /nolpad but that doesnt do anything..still goes thru the patcher.

 

[Sum1]

Make this your target on your desktop shortcut for eq to avoid the patcher:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

- right click your shortcut, go to properties, and replace the target path there with that one above... if EQ is in a different directory you'll have to adjust it... that's just where it is on my comp.

 

[Brano11]

now it wont even load EQ lol....and that path was correct for me too...lol i guess it wasnt meant to be!

 

[Zero0003]

just replace file after patch

 

[Brano11]

tried replacing the file after patch...didnt work...now i changed everything back to normal and it wont let me run eq....pops up error...Please run Everquest.exe....so i do and it says the same thing...thinking im just gonna have to redownload EQ and not mess with anything lol

 

[Brano11]

Ok so i got wineq running and everything and i have the file path set to go to EQ....but when i choose the patch option to OFF nothing pops up on the screen not eq or anything....then when i change the patch option to ON it runs just like normal no problems at all.

 

[brainiac]

They've patched the dll multiple times since april fools. Just from that you're not going to get it to work.

Also, I have to ask the question what are you trying to achieve by using this dll? Graphical eye candy? it looked horrible.

A whole lot less lag when boxing. For the bot toons in background I know it made a big difference. Your right tho, it was kinda of neat for a few days but did look goofy.

Load MQ2FPS and type /render bg off

That makes it so it only renders the UI stuff in the background, turning the boxing lag nightmare into a dream. You could also try /render fg on and see it in action.

sorry have been out of town...but to answer brianiac i liked it cause i had no lag whatsoever! I have to play on a laptop and lag can get bery bad but with the stick figures it was awesome lol!
