eqmac

[goathoof]

Not sure if any of you have heard but EQMAC is now free to play
Does anyone know which version of seq would run eqmac? the unique thing about it is it only runs up to PoP

Thanks!

There is not one as far as i know. The protocol would probably be similar to the timeframe when eqmac branched away from the regular eq. I tried a few versions to see if the would pick up the client session at all. None did. I didnt go any further though. It should be possible to get something up and going. Even a myseq server would probably work since it is a pretty simple app, and use it with an existing client. I have never written apps for a mac though.

I was surprised to see this as the original information about the free to play stated the Mac server would be dropped. I see they did change their mind. The post about the change for anyone actually interested http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=183280

bump, just wondering if anyone is pursuing this?

EQMac (Al`Kabor server) can be played on a PC fairly easily using EQ titanium edition + EQ secrets executables

is it just a matter of finding some correct offsets to use?

eqgame.exe Modified=14/06/2008

i assume RAM editors are needed to get the critical offsets

I tried myseq server version 1.20, 1.26 and 2.26

the closest i could get was using myseq server 1.20 using the offsets for Shards of Dalya expansion ones as per here
http://www.showeq.net/forums/showthread.php?6148-Shards-of-Dalaya
it was picking up 4 different ZoneAddr pointers, and couldn't get any others to work
close but not close enough...

any dev able to help out a little bit?

it's just a PC client running eqwindows with eqgame.exe from June 2008, but it is connecting to Al`Kabor mac server which would have POP-era encryption and offsets, I assume circa 2003 sometime

For using MySEQ, these get you mostly working. There are issues with race being 8 bit, in latest version of server there is an EightBitRace setting in the config.ini. I am moving that to the myseqserver.ini in next version. Hated switching it off an on, when it really is tied to a certain myseqserver.ini setting.

I was testing it out and found that the spawnid is 16 bit also, so that flags with the 8bit race also in the version I am working on.

Some of the classes will be off, so you will need to update your classes.txt.

Use myseq version 2.2.4, because the spawn id and owner id are 16 bit, and I do not handle that yet. So you need the old pet handling code. It will be updated in next version, to work with the id's, but I am not ready for a release. Also the world time will not work until next version, as it is 16 bit for year, instead of 32 bit like is currently done.

With 2.2.4 version, for server, go into the config.ini and set EightBitRace=1, to work with eqmac version.

Razzle you are the man!!

Thank you so much for your awesome work.

[solidsnake]

Thanks very much for that Razzle, that got everything working for me with one exception. Ground Spawns don't seem to show up :( Any ideas on what might be wrong?

[jmac]

This is great info for MySEQ, thank you.

However since /bazaar does not work on EQMac for PC is there anyway someone can help me get a working ShowEQ for EQMac, specifically for the bazaar search logging which could theoretically could solve the bazaar search problem.
