Looked into it a bit more and I guess HoT wasn't removed from the project after-all.  I thought Derision had removed it when he removed the Live patch files.

Here is a list of all patch files that include all of the clients compatible with EQEmu as well as some that were partially worked on and never completed:
http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FEQEmuServer%2Fcommon%2Fpatches

Note that HoT is listed in those patch files, but so is Anniversary and the Anniversary client was never even able to log into EQEmu at all.  It is probably only left there as a reference, but could really just be deleted completely.  Even though the HoT client is listed there, it is a specific client version from a certain Live patch date sometime last year.  It wouldn't be playable at all.  At best, I think you could log in with it and move around.  Here is a link to the .conf file for HoT that includes all of the opcodes for it:
http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/source/browse/trunk/EQEmuServer/utils/patch_HoT.conf

Notice that most of them are set to 0x0000, which means we don't have them identified for that client yet.  Then, compare those to the results from one of our compatible clients such as Underfoot:
http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/source/browse/trunk/EQEmuServer/utils/patch_Underfoot.conf

In that file, almost all of the opcodes are defined correctly.

If a server identified you as running the HoT client, then the dev for server you were on didn't know how to use the GetClientVersion() command.output properly.  The "HoT" client for EQEmu would be missing so much stuff and would be so buggy that it wouldn't be playable at all.  I would be surprised if you could see any items or NPCs.

I am not trying to start a debate/argument here.  I am just trying to give the facts that I am aware of.

The HoT patch source files weren't deleted, but the registration is commented out.

Code:
void RegisterAllPatches(EQStreamIdentifier &into) {
Client62::Register(into);
Titanium::Register(into);
SoF::Register(into);
SoD::Register(into);
Underfoot::Register(into);
//HoT::Register(into);
}

void ReloadAllPatches() {
Client62::Reload();
Titanium::Reload();
SoF::Reload();
SoD::Reload();
Underfoot::Reload();
//HoT::Reload();
}

So is the only way to get a copy of the HoT or Underfoot client is to torrent it?  I'm not seeing it on Steam anywhere...

It does appear to be missing from the Steam store.  I guess we'll have to wait and see if another usable client is made available when they complete the transition to free to play.

UF seems to be for sale via download from Amazon.com for $39.99, HoT is $19.99

I'd be careful downloading from Amazon.  In the past their downloadable clients haven't been compatible with the emulator.  I don't know about those two specific downloads, but based on track record I wouldn't trust it.

The DL from Amazon is not compatible.  I tried it and ended up getting a refund.  Steam was the only one that worked and as stated many times before it requires some patching before it works as intended.

OK, this might be an incredibly stupid question, but I can't seem to get started on Underfoot.  I downloaded the client off of the bay, but I can't even unzip it to try installing it.  I've re-downloaded it off of other sites, but I keep getting the same error message.  Has anyone else run into this problem?  Should I look for the client in another place?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Since you didn't tell us what the error message is, it's going to be hard to offer any help.

<sigh> I do feel like an idiot now, after re-reading the thread I saw that I needed to use 7zip to open the file.  It's working like a charm now, all I have to do is finish following the directions from eqemu and I should be playing again soon.

I downloaded the same file but there is no setup file to install it.

It looks like it is just a folder with all the files in it.  How do you "install" it so that you can run all the patches, etc that Hunter explains above?

Thanks...

There is no setup, its just the EQ client folder zipped up. So once unzipped, place that folder where ever ya want ,get the updated spell file dropped in, create a shortcut to eqgame.exe,  put the patchme in it and have fun !


edit:
 The version of SoD needs it's eqhost modified for EQEmu, from hates site.
The UF client already has it ready for EQEmu I think. If you going to d/l one get the UF client.

Ahhh...

What about the UF missing files folder?  I just copy those into the Main folder and let it rewrite them?

Ok... did what you said and I got an error when I clicked on the altered eqgame.exe icon...

"The procedure entry point ??0nsGetInterface@@QAE@PAVnsISupports@@PAI@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll."

What the heck does that mean? LOL!

Again... this is the downlaoded Everquest_Underfoot_Steam.zip file.  I extracted the files into the C:\Everquest folder, changed the eqgame.exe shortcut with the patchme and changed the eqhost file to eqemulator.net:5999

Thanks again...
