All, I am happy to present with you the latest server source update with a bunch of goodies.

Notable Changes:
  • Many Server Stability fixes and improvements
  • Guilds no longer spam rank on zone in
  • Expeditions disabled temporarily to observe some stability related issues as well as to address some other mechanics, shouldn't be a big deal and fixed soon

Zone Dropping Issue (Fixed):
  • Issue: Originally, people would witness when zoning clients that not all clients would make it and they would hang and/or the client would go (Not Responding) resulting in having to log those clients back in.
  • Root Cause: What is occurring here is when the zone to zone process occurs, the clients connection is passed to another process for handling. This particular process is called world, when this process gets busy, the following has been occurring. When a client zones, and world is processing the zone to zone request, the client will send what's called a OP_SessionRequest, to essentially establish its session again. What has been occurring is that the client will sometimes get impatient and send OP_SessionRequest twice, which world would drop those connections which result in either client crashes or client hangs.
  • Resolved: This issue has been resolved by our coders group and more specifically a private member who wish not be named. We have tested this working 100% for players running box armies of 12+ zoning simultaneously with no zone drops or crashes, this is now running live with the update.

Rain of Fear (2) Steam F2P Client Now Working & Released:
  • Thanks to in majority work by Trevius from the EQEmulator team, and various others of us. The F2P client from Steam is now available to play/use on EZ and I recommend everyone update to it and start testing it for their own sakes for the performance, memory usage and stability alone. This client is far better than UF. I need everyone to start adopting the mentality of making this client the new normal.
  • http://store.steampowered.com/app/205710/
  • Custom Files: All of the same EZ Custom Server Files apply, simply download them into the new EQ Directory
  • MacroQuest 2: You can get your RoF2 build here: http://mqemulator.net/downloads.php
  • Bugs or Issues: Please report them to this same news thread if you find any issues with this client. Keep your UF client incase you need to fallback to using it because of some issue you ran into. If you are crashing and you have no idea why, send an E-Mail to akkadius@live.com or post on this thread your logs/dbg.txt file from your EQ Directory and what you were doing to crash.
    We currently have a tracker on the community page regarding open issues and what is resolved: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?p=236218#post236218

(Make sure to just get the Free to Play one, as there is no need to buy the latest expansion on there since they are both the same download.)

You will need to install the Steam application, and download the client through it. You would then move or copy the Everquest folder it downloads to wherever you want to save it (I normally call mine something like Everquest_RoF2). Then, edit the eqhosts.txt file and create a shortcut to the eqgame.exe file with the patchme argument the same as normal. Steam should have stored Everquest in a folder similar to this:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\EverQuest

This download is still considered RoF Expansion, but it is a different patch (about 6 months later). If everything goes well, I am hoping for this client version to be the new standard for EQEmu to replace Underfoot. We are calling it the "RoF2" client. Even if you don't switch over to it immediately (while it is still be developed), I highly recommend everyone get in now in case SOE decides to patch the version that has been on Steam since May 10th 2013.

Donations:
  • I've been getting bugged to the earths end about these. I will be doing these until the end of the year.
  • Starting the 25th, I will be doing double credits and will be available for a limited time.

Here's what I did when setting this up lemme know if I missed something >

1)Downloaded rf2 from steam
2)Moved rf2 eq folder to a place outside of steam (ssd hard drive)
3)Moved EZ server files and EZ spell files into new rf2 everquest file
4)Changed eqhost as per eqemulator's instructions
5)I'm runnin through eqwin so didn't bother to do patchme stuff

Did you run the optioneditor.exe to set graphics card etc?

Try without eqwin, just do a shortcut with the patchme added, and try again, without eqwin

VERY NICE, thanks  Akka and team, giving it a run now =)))

Hmm aug's seem a lil messed up wont let you put more than 1 of same in armor (and yes I know how to bypass that, its in top slot) Have anguish boots, with a rank 7 heroic aug in bottom slot, and then 2 rank 6's in top two slots. took out the very top most augment and now it wont go back in cause it says I have 2 of same aug in there.  Tried to do it in old augment sealer then but that doesn't seem to function anymore.

Additionally its not letting me put link from anything in inventory inside hotbars atm.  Armor, top inventory slots, stuff in bags nothing is linkin to hotbar so I can setup clickies.

(and pls don't take all these posts as whining or nothing hate/akka Smiley i'm just excited....  Grin )

   I have been working all night trying to get this resolved. I can get one or two toons in then the rest start crashing at the char select screen. It doesn't matter if they had logged on to the server in this client before or not.
   Some times i can't even get one to load in. I haven't changed the folder at all except to change the host and add the required files. I have also redownloaded the folder to make sure it wasn't my copy. When I am in server it looks and runs well. but getting past the server select is dicey at best.

Ok, so I got the new client loaded, and the new MQ2. Works awesome! Love the stability and the great features! Any ideas at all on a UI?

thought of something

is there anyway someone could get this download package, idk, put somewhere else?

DLing from steamwhatever is ehhhh

any possibility someone could take on that project, to streamline it as much as possible, I think it would make this move from one client to the next easier for everyone

just a thought
