How To Create a Compatible Sentinel's Fate Client

This is for players wishing to connect to the Server Pack 1.2, Official TessEq2 server, or another players server, with a Sentinel's Fate client. This process was discovered by EmulateS, due to a number of people having issues with the EQ2Emulator Patcher. This should solve a large number of lock out issues that you may stumble upon.

Instructions

Install The Shadow Odyssey out of the box (Not Patched!) Explanation forth coming.

Install Sentinel's Fate (Not Patched!)

Make a copy of both installs prior to doing anything (very important).

Patch only Sentinel's Fate to Live, that's right to Live using EQ2.exe (not the launcher 11/15/2010)

Find and run EQ2EmulatorPatcher by Image in his Terrific Post: http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1535&start=0 [Post states NOT SUPPORTED DON'T ASK] point install to "EverQuest2.exe" in your Sentinel's Fate folder and patch it to Build 6118L.

Okay, now that we've made it this far...

Edit your file: eq2_default.ini as described by John Adams in his Awesome Post: http://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=2363 EQ2Emulator ServerPack 1.2 Release.

Run "EverQuest2.exe" ONE TIME ONLY and LOG IN! Once logged in DO NOT CREATE A CHARACTER and EXIT the game before attempting to do anything else.

Here is the list of files in your Sentinel's Fate folder that now need to be Deleted: [folder] cache [folder] logincache-us [file] alertlog.txt [file] assetslib.vpl [file] ui.log

Now to copy some files over before doing anything else, From The Shadow Odyssey game folder (Again NOT PATCHED):

[copy from The Shadow Odyssey to Sentinel's Fate folder replacing file]

[file] UIBuilder.zip (to main folder - this is the only file in the main folder needing replaced)

[copy from The Shadow Odyssey/UI/Default folder to Sentinel's Fate/UI/Default folder replacing files and folders]

Copy EVERYTHING in The Shadow Odyssey/UI/Default folder EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING FOUR FILES (You will replace everything in Sentinel's Fate/UI/Default with these files EXCEPT AGAIN THE FOLLOWING FOUR FILES): JUST IN CASE YOU THINK TO DO SO... DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING IN THE DESTINATION FOLDER YOU ARE OVERWRITING ONLY OR YOU WILL BE MISSING DATA!!!

DO NOT COPY OVER THESE: [file] eq2ui_journals.xml [file] eq2ui_journals_active.xml [file] eq2ui_journals_quest.xml [file] eq2ui_popup_claim.xml

If you can't get Sentinel's Fate working following these instructions; go to the forum's support section and ask publicly.

Main Map and Mini Map don't show well and opening your inventory is only working in bank even though you can open all bags. Temporary resolution run to bank open bank and yes inventory will open fine here.

We're still working on it so be patient!
