EZ Server

Very rarely, someone will lose item in the aug pool. We do not refund items, but I've made exceptions for people that lost their Epic that could be verified they had one via Epic Vendor turn in quest + Screenshots.

Don't forget to take a screen shot if you lose an item in the aug pool. Error codes will hopefully help as well. I'll need this info as well:
Character Name:
Item Name:
Aug Name:
Zone Name:
Date/Time:
Error Message:

I've edited a field for the epics that might have caused item to be deleted when inserting an aug. We'll see if this works.

I've edited the Warrior 4.0 and Paladin 3.0 graphcis due to particles lagging out multiboxers. Keep me posted if any epics are problems or need graphic changes.

If there is a graphic you really want for an Epic, then post a picture of it and make a vote if players want to use that graphic, and I'll do that. I can copy any weapons graphic to any other weapon easily.

This weekend I got lots planned to work on EZ Server.

I plan to finish up the AFK Script and add it to all zones.

Need to work on LDoN, removing the current afk script there, possible replace with new one. Most of the LDoN Merchants in Nexus need to be revamped, and consolidated, cause there are too many NPC's for just LDoN with cards, charms, teleport, sell tokens, etc, so that'll get all cleaned up.

Finally Epic 3.5 quest needs to be created. All the items and drops are done for the 3.5 Epic, but there is no code in yet for the Epic Vendor so get your 4.0's now if you want to bypass the 3.5 cause the 3.5 Quest will be implemented very soon. I've given players time to farm their 3.5 for over a week already and as well as advance notice so they can by pass it quick if they want.

I've got lots more to do, probably over 100 things to get done on EZ Server but my time is limited so thats the focus for this weekend.

We've already started the work on T5, but it'll take a long time to complete. Will be a lot different style (and tactics) from any other custom zone we've done before.

Thanks H! Wish I'd had the foresight to SS mine, but will from now on.

get off my butt, im not good with pictures

Sure, I could probably swing that.

oh!

While I am very happy to hear that you're open to suggestions for the graphics, I have been hesitant to make any suggestions as I really haven't seen all too many of the 4.0's first hand to judge whether or not I am content with how they look. Obviously not everything can go 1 persons way so rather than people blindly making suggestions when maybe the current ones are totally acceptable, could we have maybe a preview thread of what they currently look like?

And I'm not just asking Hunter, but anyone who has theirs to maybe make a thread that everyone could contribute to and show us what we're currently dealing with, and maybe have it transition into the suggestions thread itself.

How far back can we go to pull weapon models from? Just curious cause I saw http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=22157 (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=22157) that little ditty and it says from kunark, but I don't remember that at all.

Its a neat looking model imo, not sure if it can be done though.

~ moved to suggestion ~

I can understand about the lag, but now this is the look of epic 4.0 epic war ....

I think we need to find anything else.

thats badass
could always use the pally 4.0 graphic from here
http://files.o2k.org/wtf.html

Please change the Warrior 4.0 to the current Paladin 4.0 graphic. This will require a change to the paladin 4.0, but at least warriors will get an awesome looking sword that has no particle effects (which will match the name of the item, afterall, the word "sword" is in the item name).

This is the pally 4.0 that I'm suggesting be used for the warrior 4.0 graphic:

Give me some time to think of a new Paladin graphic.

You can get the complete graphic file from the eqemu wiki.. or was it from the forums.
A lot of the really nice graphics are restricted to Seeds clients and/or SoF clients which makes sad panda a pedo panda

If this is serious (Haven't logged on since the update) I would like to suggest:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=10304

As it has a similar look as the old 4.0 and looks rather beastly. I also think maybe the 4.0 zerker axe should be the old warrior 4.0 as it just seemed 'right' and with the low population of zerkers, it wouldnt lag as bad as when the warriors had it.

or maybe something like this http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=12629 just trying to think of something that looks 2handerish, but at the same time most people are going to just go 1handed probably lol. I would love to use this on my SK even if i had to give up my shield for it.

of course I would drop anything to use this http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=52829 but we dont have that expansion :P

I could suggest some more but as i said I want to wait and see the others first. Although i've seen the monk 4.0, maybe I can find something for them lol

Some other cool graphics

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=11385
http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=11958 <--- Sword in hand. not sure if it's any actual weapons graphic
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=14006
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4853

I'm sure there are some others out there :)

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=52829
is a sick graphic, I am not 100percent but I do believe it requires Sof/Seeds to view it.

Yes it does. Item model 11053. anything higher than 10842 requires SoF/SoD or Underfoot. Course that's where all the good item graphics are, people should just switch. =/ No real reason to use Titanium

This one is really nice !!!

Too bad it s not the same expansion...


This one is not too bad too (http://common.allakhazam.com/images/i/d/id11958.png)

i really like the Faraday Stormrider's Fiery Avenger
(http://everquest.allakhazam.com/equipment/fpics2/faraday_stormriders_fiery_avenger_fashion.jpg)

or the The Sword of Ssraeshza wich has the same graphics as natures defender
(http://common.allakhazam.com/images/b/2/b2d1cd56c0e870d0748004e3f6d12721.jpg)

Another good one. Petrified Heartwood Flamberge

Hunter you should construct a pole of the mentioned weapons in this thread so people can vote on it.

I always loved the model of Bloodfrenzy.  (would work better as 1hand sword so maybe for War 4.0)

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=13242

I hope that link worked..

WTF LOL ZOMG @_@ WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

And lol at the warrior graphic. Hahahahaha! It went from epic flaming battle axe to a glass hatchet. Bwahahaha!

Here are some pics of various weapons:

Yes true, truth is im to lazy to remake my UI's for 25+ characters for seeds.
I highly doubt its possible but it would be nice, probably a pain, if you could set 2 graphics to a weapon.

If client.type=titanium Then weapon.graphic=780 Else weapon.graphic=1200

Anyways all the sweet graphics I would want to see are restricted to any client but titanium

Anything, I say anything is better than what my 5 boys are weilding at the moment. 

Well you have been a evil gnome. Now you are The gay evil gnome.
Its almost a improvement, notice the capital 'The' its like a title or something!

5 boys? I see how you roll, weirdo.  >:(

The items I linked were from EQlive plane of time loot tables. I remember there being nice weapon graphics from PoP, no idea of Omens of War (which this server supports).

That would be possible to code an update packet for that to trick different clients, but also completely unnecessary.

Also, even with client manipulation, there is no way to hack Titanium to work with SoD graphics and files simply because of the texture renderization that SoD+ 'eqgame.exe' builds reference. The same kind of renderization is noticable in EZ Server's 'Caster's Guild' for Titanium... Unless you have 'Advanced Lighting' checked, the whole zone shows as a dark texture. Although this is merely an example of a slightly different issue, the relation is very similar. Even if, you are then talking about forcing your player base to download files that unless made mandatory in a certain fashion, becomes alienating.

Even Danyelle when dealing with similar issues over at 'Blood of the Akkadian', is irritated by limiting content options by 'Titanium' based capabilities. The only way you can encourage getting a new client is to be offering 'benefits' server-side to switch over to the client, which is a slow but very attainable process. First you can start by offering some alternative progression zones in SoD, then even item bonuses and things you can attain simply by getting SoD+.

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=17031 your welcome

and for paladin's http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=20572 just make it 2hander

how about Blade of Carnage graphic
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=6447

or Katana of Pain
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=47882

or Sword of Ssra
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=11806


...for war 3.5?

Your weapon graphic are supercute UXT !!!

IF it s compatible titanium (POP is) that good for me !

http://raidloot.com/Stats.aspx

may be easier to look up raid weaps. small pics though

I vote SSRA sword ! ! !

I would vote for this to be new pally 3.0. As is, no sparklys or glowing.


http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=74309

Last I seen, the paladin 4.0 was the splitblade graphic. Unless that was changed also.

SSRA sword !!!

At this point, anything is better than the current 3.0 fine steel graphic.  I hate looking at my pally now  ???

i like it better than the blue thing, i'll be happy with anything as long as it don't have particle effects

And I'd be happy with anything WITH particle effects.  But not the point of my post.

Fine Steel =/= epic.
