I've always been curious about oldschool eq and would love to try this but man is it just too many hoops to jump through to acquire Everquest Platinum. Hell if I could just buy the base game I'd be willing to do that even, but noooooooo Instead I'll just keep reading this thread and live eq vicariously through somethingawful

Look at that perfect circle. I dinged twice in less than an hour. I'm up to 25 enemies but I still get smacked around a bit. Also, I saw Flowers of Happiness on red. Is it anyone here?

Zaphod42 posted:While we're talking "nice to have" features, if you could have a "breadcrumb mode" where it'd keep a history of your past locs, possibly as different colored dots, would be super useful. Especially if you could draw a line between them so you had a rough version of your path. I spent like 30 minutes coming up with this. It basically just plots a curved dotted line from past locations. It doesn't have different colors and it doesn't show the /loc points that the line runs through right now but it could be useful. I made it use the 10 most recent locations but that could be something that could be configurable. Let me know if this is kind of what you were wanting and i can maybe work on it a little more and send the code to Pilsner if he wants to include it.

Big thanks to Lahara on Red for letting me (Minamata) leech off the swarmkite clinic you put on. For the first time I have a character at level 50! If anybody comes across Words of Grappling or Words of Acquisition (Beza) in their travels let me know!

I'm honestly considering starting a second bard just to help PL newcomers! That was a lot of fun and I gained 2 levels in like 4 hours? I wasn't as fast as some bards, but we got results for sure! Also, I'm pretty sure I saw those words drop on a man o war. You might ask around the people who were in the group for them.

Then later they patched it so that Bard point-blank damage-over-time songs did ZERO damage if the monster affected was moving at all. ZERO. Game was pretty much dead to me at that point. I remember they also patched kiting in general some number of years or so before so that DOTs did a fuckload less damage if the monster was moving as well, but took it out much later after several more years of people complaining how stupid it was. Did they put that in here too for the sake of being "classic"? Mercury_Storm fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Sep 4, 2015 |

Yes on P1999 DOTs will do like half damage if the mob is moving when they tick. Its a little annoying but you can work around it, root-rot if that's what you're looking for or otherwise kite with DD or quad-kite with AOE.

Yeah, setting the length of the trail is probably better than the number of points and is something I can change with a little more effort. As for clearing the trail history on zone out, it doesn't right now but would only take a minute to add. Can you tell me if there is a message logged when you die? I don't have a client set up to run right now so I can not test it to find out. If there is I can look at adding clearing the trail on death and also put a marker on the map when you die with the last loc you were at.

Yeah putting an automatic marker when you die would be legit super useful. If I'm smart enough I hit /loc but then I've gotta figure out where on the map that is manually after I spawn, having a marker would be super convenient. Looks like "you have been slain" is the key phrase you'd look for, and I guess just grab the most recent /loc before that ideally.

Some files have to be deleted/replaced. Did you use power ISO or something like that to mount a virtual drive and install it? Did you patch it? If so, reinstall it. Also, install it in ANYTHING but the program files folder. For some reason applications cant edit files in newer versions of windows, so install it in C:/games or something.

I just put up a new version (6) with the following changes:
http://www.zlizeq.com/Files/ZlizEQMap-v6.zip Interesting work on the trail / dot thing, although I will hold my horses until I'm sure it's worth spending time on. Is it for farming or kiting and such that a trail of past locs would be useful? Auto-making a /loc when dying isn't possible for sure. Zaphod42 posted:Yeah putting an automatic marker when you die would be legit super useful. If I'm smart enough I hit /loc but then I've gotta figure out where on the map that is manually after I spawn, having a marker would be super convenient. Ironically I had to highlight the waypoint with red in the screenshot, since it's a fairly low-visible blue circle, but you should see it pop up when you do it yourself.

Yes if the kiter can hold aggro you can just beat her down with the rogue & snares & dots. Also I want to tag along and help you for the sword drop, which is one of the better off-hand aggro proc weapons in the game outside of poopsock raiding.
