What's a good FPS limiter so that mouse turning doesn't take six years?

Change it to 60 in eqw.ini :

code:
[Foreground]
Vsync=FALSE
MaxFPS=120
[Background]
Vsync=FALSE
MaxFPS=120
Update=TRUE
PriorityBoost=FALSE
Probably keep Background FPS high or autofollow will get messed up.

Had the same problem and fixed it with Nvidia Inspector. Run it and force EQ to limit everything to 60fps and Vsync. If you have AMD, not sure what to tell you, much like every other problem that nails AMD users with no recourse :(

^^ EQclient.ini doesn't fix the FPS issue that causes all this bullshit, sadly

They worked for me. In the eqw launcher you have to uncheck 'fix ini' or it will erase your changes each launch. I am running the 1920x1080 fix and Hotkeynet and they work great. Just have a little server lag but otherwise has been solid so far.

How do you form a guild on this server? It's not like classic where you get 10 people in a chat room and wait for a GM I am guessing...

Let's try to get one started tomorrow sometime.

I made a Steam group a long time ago for EQ Mac. If anyone wants to join and we can try to coordinate in the chat room or something it's here:

Is there any way to get rid of the terrible UI that comes with the windows client from the rerolled thread? Loading the other ones doesn't do anything nor does adding more to the uifiles folder.

I've been thinking the same thing. I tried three boxing for a bit, but gently caress doing that on a laptop. I think I'll focus on my shaman for a bit or maybe mess around with a beastlord. I'm in zero rush.

My only concern with this server is that basically everyone is 3-boxing at the moment. I hope it doesn't continue that way because it definitely takes away from the community when one person is maintaining his own group and leveling themselves. I can still find groups, but then I'm not talking to anyone anyways because the other guy in group is focused on his three toons. Though I do remember herv doing that and not having a problem keeping conversation going.

Server was still pretty good today as well. I'm very impressed with how smooth things are moving.

edit: of course since I said that, the server is down. Ah well, that's what beta is all about.

Also I fought with ISBoxer a while and it just flat won't work. Giving that Dexpot thing a try before I try HotkeyNet. Even EQWindows won't work because the client's so old it doesn't even support hardware cursors :sigh: Also means there's no way to limit FPS to 60, so my mouselook sensitivity is hosed up vertically

Edit - I fixed the mouselook/FPS problem by changing the FPS limits to 60 in EQW.ini and forcing the frame limit in NvidiaInspector as well.

Edit2 - Zliz are you gonna fix your map program to grab the new log file/location or you want me to do it? I ugly-hacked mine to work
Hmm, what needs changing (apart from missing PoK and such)? You can change the EQ dir under the Settings & Help dialog.

I'll be able to group up with you in a couple of hours if you're still on. Like 730 or 8 PDT.

e: Had a great night in Befallen. Empty zone, fairly safe once you establish a good camp. Lots of pulls. We went from 5-10 in about 2 hours. There's room to go up to maybe 20 or 25 there and some nameds that provide a good chance at drops. Probably a better option than Upper Guk (overcamped), CB (social aggro range is bugged, crazy trains forever), or BB (same as CB). I have the key for tomorrow RCarr we can try to progress farther in.

Logs don't go into a /Logs folder with this client, they're just dumped into the main EQ directory. It's just a quick 1 line change in your code to get it working on here, but then it won't work on P99 and I'm not really motivated enough to add in a setting for people to choose between them :downs:

Ah, I see. I plan on making the tool server-agnostic, and I've made a note to include a toggle between scanning for log files in the root EQ dir or in the \Logs dir.

Been coding my map project all day, I have the basics now with a profile-driven setup where you can easily switch between TAK and P1999 setups.

One question; can anyone tell me precisely which "bonus" pre-expansion zones will be included? I will include all Kunark maps, so that's Iksar covered, but what else? Plane of Knowledge, Shadeweaver's Thicket, and what about Shar Vahl?

Also, testing the waters with a Barbarian in Halas/Everfrost, I quickly discovered what I had feared: The zone names differ on P1999 and TAK. On P1999, it says "You have entered Everfrost", but on TAK it says "You have entered Everfrost Peaks". I will gamble and take all the zones name I have gathered from live EQ (http://www.zlizeq.com/Guides-Zone_Level_Chart) and assume they are the same on TAK.

Talked to speedz in-game tonight. Turns out we need to have 8 unique people in-game at the same time, then send one of the GM's a tell, and they can create our guild.

I dunno if we have 8 or not though:

Myself (Droll, Nekro, Cukekis)
Herv (Mafx, Tyka)
Manstache (Jippy, Duncton)
Sketchy (Sungura, some other name I can't remember)
Budd (Miller, Coors)

NPCs as a whole are too strong at the moment compared to PCs; nearly always hit, usually for max or near max - so NPC vs NPC is a better matchup than letting your PC get his poo poo wrecked. Innate DS on fire pet is just the icing on the cake really.

Ah good to know. I did thought I noticed that my necro pet was tanking a lot better than my ogre shaman.

One thing about a pet class though-the run speed is so jacked right now that PC's outrun NPC's like crazy. I couldn't figure out where the gently caress Xibarer went until he ran up to me when I was 5 seconds away from camping yesterday when I finally figured that one out.
