Is this reliable? I mean, how buggy is this patcher?

There is no patcher.

It is not buggy at all; it works the same as SoF practically. You just need to login via Gaeorn's loginserver on the SoD client. You can buy the SoD Client on steam here:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/24130/

Copy the directory out of the steamapps folder and you're set.

It works out of the box with EZ, provided you ran #setlsinfo on mentioned servers (PEQ or StormHaven). You need to change your eqhost to tsahosting.net:5999 though after you run the command on the aforementioned servers.

Please read this post for more information and follow the instructions for SoD Clients:

NOTE: You cannot use the #setlsinfo on the EZ server (yet!), so you need to login to PEQ or Storm Haven and use the command there. You should be able to login after that.

NOTE2: PEQ users can also login via PEQ's login, if you have a PEQ login account. Keep in mind all PEQ-only accounts are temporary, and if you would like to login there, you would have to use PEQ's website to claim your EQEmu account. It is more preferred to use the first login option provided by Gaeorn.

Just as a quick FYI, shaman spells like spirit of leopard do NOT stack with the spell effect listed on the brawler charm.Another reason is to use the Minimum damage modifier as it increases the maximum damage range, rather than the amount you hit in a range.

Nothing negative, dont think the thread is about anything like that.
Just curious if Secrets is an RL friend of Hunters. I see he helped Hunter install new hardware. Can be taken either as S/He was physically there helping put equipment in, or S/He was there to help test the new hardware in game.

Not really important, just nosey is all. Im sorry

I am not a RL friend of hunter, I am an EQEmu Forum Helper.

I just help whoever needs it, honestly. I spent 8 hours out of my day to walk Hunter through it online without access to the server box at all. I didn't expect anything in return. It feels great to have someone thank you after all of that, and that's why I am in EQEmulator in the first place! It's a hobby, nothing more, and I help whoever needs it, provided they don't harm anyone else.

As for trust issues, there was no trust to be had as I never had any sort of database access or server access at any time. I made sure Hunter knew how to do everything himself by the time he was done, so if something happened to the server at any time (such as HDD failure), he would know how to fix it.

Hunter is a really nice guy, and I figured I would help him out.

I gender-bend irl!

Well, I do, but....that's an interesting topic.

fixed

How many times do we hear PoFire crashed over the months but we never see a zone reconnect... Like I said, just pointing out: Crashing a Zone is still possible when over pulling.

I was using Rampage + Aug V x4.
I think the Aug 5 when it kills a bunch of mobs all at once, that's when it causes a zone to hiccup/lockup

You are confusing your client crashing with the zone crashing. If a zone crashes you will see a yellow zone message.

Incorrect, the yellow zone message is only on Linux, not Windows. There are certain debug flags that determine the zone crash message showing.

We compiled in release anyway, so that furthers the EQDEBUG flag.

Another thing to note is there is only one known EQEmu crash that we've yet to fix related to AIYellForHelp, but if you are nuking NPCs that should not be the case.

Another thing that could have happened is you pulled the entire zone, and your client desynched as stated. After 20% packet loss the server drops your connection, just as an FYI.

8 aoe attacks + whole sanctus seru zone (783 mobs) = no zone crash, and a lot of loot!

Was tired of not being able to use the SoF client on my characters on EZ, so I converted the spellfile to be compatible with both the Titanium and SoF clients.

Enjoy.

The SoF client has the mana bug fixed, just as an incentive to use it.
