Players:Compatible Clients

2013-07-20T16:20:04Z

Flunklesnarkin: /* Destiny of Velious */

EQ2Emulator offers support for many different Retail Box Sets of the Everquest II Client. The current status on which client is supported is listed below. Note that no client is 100% compatible, since the server is still in an Alpha Development state. Those which are partially compatible still may not work 100% of the time, due to the evolution of the server itself.

The details below are current, as of April 2013.

== Rise of Kunark ==
This retail box set is no longer supported. Although you can connect and play, no further effort towards compatibility is being made by the EQ2Emulator Development Team.

For detailed setup instructions, [[Players:RoK_Client | click here]].

== The Shadow Odyssey ==
This retail box set is no longer supported. Although you can connect and play, no further effort towards compatibility is being made by the EQ2Emulator Development Team.

For detailed setup instructions, [[Players:TSO_Client | click here]].

== Sentinel's Fate ==
This is the oldest client retail box set we are supporting. '''We do not support the retail box directly''', but a "patched" version of this box set should be the most compatible as of this writing. (see [http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=1535| this thread])

For detailed setup instructions, [[How To Create a Compatible Sentinel's Fate Client | click here]]. (Probably still works but outdated)

== Halas Reborn ==
This client was not a Retail Box set, but instead was a digital download mid-way between Sentinel's Fate and Destiny of Velious. Some players might have preserved a backup of this client, who's Everquest2.exe version is around version 6353L or so. If so, you can use this client to connect to EQ2Emulator as well.

For detailed setup instructions, [[Players:Halas_Client | click here]].

== Destiny of Velious ==
This is the last known Retail Box Set provided by Sony, and therefore will likely be the last Retail Box Set EQ2Emulator supports.

'''Question:''' I can't move my "Bottomless Bag of Envy" window, (The huge backpack alpha testers start off with), the backpack is too large to fit on my screen and I can't access the top to move it.

[[File:Backpack Unmoveable.jpg]]

'''Answer:''' Move your mouse to the side of the backpacks window until you see the arrow which allows you to make the window wider. Drag the window much wider than it is (20 slots wide probably works) then right click on the window. Select Window settings and then click on the default location button. This will move the window further down in the screen. From there you can adjust the window size to your liking.

== Age of Discovery ==
Everquest 2 went "Free to Play" in the Age of Discovery expansion. This changed the entire dynamic of how EQ2Emulator will progress and support clients in the future. Since EQ2 is now "free" essentially, emphasis on supporting the latest clients in an Emulator has taken a lower priority to making the last Retail Box set 100% compatible (DoV).

''Moving forward with any new client support from AoD+ will rely on the individual player taking backups of their EQ2 Live clients as they play EQ2 Live.''

'''AoD is currently NOT supported by EQ2Emulator. When it is, if it is at all, this Wiki page will be updated.'''

== Chains of Eternity ==
The following clients are compatible with the emu project. Any client with the same data version will "likely" be compatible.

'''9502L data ver 1199 - 9712L data ver 1205 - 9770L data ver 1208 - 9810L data ver 1212'''

2013-07-19T19:40:37Z

Flunklesnarkin: Removed Name... Don't want to associate my edits with somebody else in case they are wrong :3

== What to expect ==
In the latest release (0.7.1), many features have been implemented. See the [http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/index.php?i=pages&mode=status Project Status Module] for a complete list. We are still in an ALPHA development stage, so nothing is 100% complete. Combat, spells, quests, items, loot, even mounts have found their way into the code. Everything requires a second look, so when you are playing on an EQ2Emulator, we ask that you utilize the /bug command in-game and report anything you find that is not working.

== Getting a copy of Everquest 2 ==
To play on the emulator you must first have a '''legal copy''' of a compatible Everquest II client. See [[Players:Compatible Clients|compatible clients list]]

Asking on the forums on how to illegally get Everquest 2 is frowned upon, you will not receive an answer and you may possibly be banned, so please do not ask this question.

== Client versions that work ==
The current supported client will always be updated on the [http://eq2emulator.net main page of our Portal]. Check there before asking questions about your current version being supported. If your version is higher than our current, you will have to wait til EQ2Emulator gets updated to your version.

'''ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR CLIENT FILES BEFORE CONNECTING TO SOE LIVE SERVERS!'''

In fact, it is highly recommended that you make a copy of your live EQ2 client and use that only for EQ2Emulator, keeping the two completely separate so patching will not break your current Emu client.

Example:

C:\<EQ2 Live Install>\

C:\<EQ2 Emu Install>\

== Connecting to a Public Server ==

===Getting an account===
Before proceeding, you must create a [http://www.eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/ucp.php?mode=register forum account] than create player account to play on the public world servers. To do this, use the [http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/index.php?i=pages&mode=acctmgmt Account Management] module found on our portal.

Click on 'Create a Login Account', complete the form and click on "Register Account", Now you can begin connecting to the server.

===Connecting===
It is advised that you backup your Everquest 2 directory so that you can play both on Sony's Live servers while testing the server emulator out.

To connect to an emulator server you must first edit your eq_default.ini file.

Find the line similar to
cl_ls_address 199.108.12.33 199.108.........
and change it to
cl_ls_address eq2emulator.net

For boxed set clients it is suggested to run the EQ2Emu Patch Utility. (I'm not sure if it's required for the live / current / streaming clients).

I have copied the information over to the wiki from this thread here.

http://www.eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=1535

This is being provided for some users that seem to need help transitioning between live and the EQ2Emu version. This program should be rather straight forward and has a setup process that you have to follow. If you have any questions or run into issues you can ask them here.

(Download link for patch utility) http://www.eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=712

Edited by John Adams: 5/10/2011
We've switched to supporting this tool as part of our EQ2Emulator Core Utilities. See the details below for how to use this tool properly.

First, unpack the RAR file. You should have 4 files in the folder:

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher0.jpg]]

Run EQ2EMuPatcher.exe. On first launch, it will ask you where your EQ2 Dir is. If it does not, click the button "Change EQ2 Dir":

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher1.jpg]]

Browse to your Everquest II folder where the Everquest2.exe file is and select it. Then click Open. (In Windows 8 the directory is C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II)

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher2.jpg]]

Pick which version you wish to patch to. By default, 5122L is selected.

Values include (Info taken from Xinux's forum signature ;p)

EQ II Original Build = 1360
Desert of Flames (DoF) Build = 1360
Kingdom of Sky (KoS) Build = 2654
Classic? Build = 3375
Echoes of Faydwer (EoF) Build = 3554
Rise of Kunark (RoK) Build = 4412
The Shadow Odyssey (TSO) Build - 5122
The Sundered Frontier (SF) Build = 6118
Destiny of Velious (DoV) Build - 7628
Age of Discovery Build (AoD) = 8295

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher4.jpg]]

If your Everquest2.exe does not match our version, you will be asked if you wish to patch that file.

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher3.jpg]]

A backup is always made, but you should ALWAYS back up your own files accordingly (specifically, Everquest2.exe in this case)

If patching was successful, you should see a screen like this:

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher5.jpg]]

Now run the Everquest2.exe or simply click the Play EQ2emu button from the patch utility to login to the server. There should not be any patching screen, you should be taken directly into the game login. '''If your game shows up with the sony patcher then it may be because you have clicked a shortcut link to the patcher instead of clicking on the Everquest2.exe program.'''

'''There may be additional client compatibility steps required to make your client work 100% properly. If you experience problems in game with the interface please check this wiki page for possible updates: '''[[Players:Compatible Clients|Client Compatibility]]

Alternatively you can always ask for assistance on the forums.

This is being provided for some users that seem to need help transitioning between live and the EQ2Emu version. This program should be rather straight forward and has a setup process that you have to follow. If you have any questions or run into issues you can ask them here.

We've switched to supporting this tool as part of our EQ2Emulator Core Utilities. See the details below for how to use this tool properly.

First, unpack the RAR file. You should have 4 files in the folder:

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher0.jpg]]

Run EQ2EMuPatcher.exe. On first launch, it will ask you where your EQ2 Dir is. If it does not, click the button "Change EQ2 Dir":

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher1.jpg]]

Browse to your Everquest II folder where the Everquest2.exe file is and select it. Then click Open. (In Windows 8 the directory is C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest II)

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher2.jpg]]

Pick which version you wish to patch to. By default, 5122L is selected.

Values include (Info taken from Xinux's forum signature ;p)

EQ II Original Build = 1360
Desert of Flames (DoF) Build = 1360
Kingdom of Sky (KoS) Build = 2654
Classic? Build = 3375
Echoes of Faydwer (EoF) Build = 3554
Rise of Kunark (RoK) Build = 4412
The Shadow Odyssey (TSO) Build - 5122
The Sundered Frontier (SF) Build = 6118
Destiny of Velious (DoV) Build - 7628
Age of Discovery Build (AoD) = 8295

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher4.jpg]]

If your Everquest2.exe does not match our version, you will be asked if you wish to patch that file.

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher3.jpg]]

A backup is always made, but you should ALWAYS back up your own files accordingly (specifically, Everquest2.exe in this case)

If patching was successful, you should see a screen like this:

[[File:EQ2EmuPatcher5.jpg]]

Now run the Everquest2.exe or simply click the Play EQ2emu button from the patch utility to login to the server. There should not be any patching screen, you should be taken directly into the game login. '''If your game shows up with the sony patcher then it may be because you have clicked a shortcut link to the patcher instead of clicking on the Everquest2.exe program.'''

There may be additional client compatibility steps required to make your client work 100% properly. If you experience problems in game with interface please check this wiki page for possible updates: [[Players:Compatible Clients|Client Compatibility]]

Players:How To Connect

2013-07-19T18:13:42Z

Flunklesnarkin: /* Connecting */

== What to expect ==
In the latest release (0.7.1), many features have been implemented. See the [http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/index.php?i=pages&mode=status Project Status Module] for a complete list. We are still in an ALPHA development stage, so nothing is 100% complete. Combat, spells, quests, items, loot, even mounts have found their way into the code. Everything requires a second look, so when you are playing on an EQ2Emulator, we ask that you utilize the /bug command in-game and report anything you find that is not working.

== Getting a copy of Everquest 2 ==
To play on the emulator you must first have a '''legal copy''' of a compatible Everquest II client. See [[Players:Compatible Clients|compatible clients list]]

Asking on the forums on how to illegally get Everquest 2 is frowned upon, you will not receive an answer and you may possibly be banned, so please do not ask this question.

== Client versions that work ==
The current supported client will always be updated on the [http://eq2emulator.net main page of our Portal]. Check there before asking questions about your current version being supported. If your version is higher than our current, you will have to wait til EQ2Emulator gets updated to your version.

'''ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR CLIENT FILES BEFORE CONNECTING TO SOE LIVE SERVERS!'''

In fact, it is highly recommended that you make a copy of your live EQ2 client and use that only for EQ2Emulator, keeping the two completely separate so patching will not break your current Emu client.

Example:

C:\<EQ2 Live Install>\

C:\<EQ2 Emu Install>\

== Connecting to a Public Server ==

===Getting an account===
Before proceeding, you must create a [http://www.eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/ucp.php?mode=register forum account] than create player account to play on the public world servers. To do this, use the [http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/index.php?i=pages&mode=acctmgmt Account Management] module found on our portal.

Click on 'Create a Login Account', complete the form and click on "Register Account", Now you can begin connecting to the server.

===Connecting===
It is advised that you backup your Everquest 2 directory so that you can play both on Sony's Live servers while testing the server emulator out.

To connect to an emulator server you must first edit your eq_default.ini file.

Find the line similar to
cl_ls_address 199.108.12.33 199.108.........
and change it to
cl_ls_address eq2emulator.net

For boxed set clients it is suggested to run the EQ2Emu Patch Utility. (I'm not sure if it's required for the live / current / streaming clients).
