Howto get the correct SEQ for Kael Drakkal and Old Sebilis

**LordCrush** · 07-11-2003, 01:34 AM

A little howto for you on the non-english Euro-Servers Kael Drakkal and Old Sebilis.

I seems that we normally one patch behind the US/English servers (Looking on SEQ not everytime bad :p ). That means sometimes the Version of the CVS can bring you a working SEQ for the US-Servers, but not for the localized that are one patch backwards.
Here the Version/Date of SEQ-CVS that gives you a working SEQ for your eqgame.exe-version.

To get the correct SEQ-Version out of CVS use this:

Code:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq co -D MM/TT/YYYY showeq

To identify the EQGame.exe i use a MD5 Checksum.
(For a MD5-Proggy for Win32 look here : http://www.etree.org/md5com.html )

Code:

md5sum eqgame.exe

Perhaps you have to apply some patches =)
copy patch.diff into the showeq-src directory and use

Code:

patch < patch.diff

For correct Map loading open map.cpp
Find this lines and comment out the 2 Lines (i will make a diff for this)

Code:

  // load the map if it's not already loaded
//  if (fileName != m_mapData.fileName())
//    loadFileMap(fileName);

Euro-Patch 9.7.2003

Code:

MD5 Sum						Works with SEQ from Date
e7659b5a06b91148cf5957552b8b43c2 *eqgame.exe	07/09/2003

and you need to apply this patch

You need to place the spells_en.txt from your everquest-directory to your showeq-directory usualy at /usr/local/share/showeq.
Make sure that you convert the file to the Unix-Ascii format (LF not LFCR)

You can get converter Utils here:

http://www.bastet.com/software/UDDU.ZIP

Code:

DOS2UNIX c:\temp\spells_en.txt

Hint: Don´t do that in your Everquest directory... it overrides the file

How to get this on your Linux box you can find some information in this thread

**Zaphod** · 10-08-2003, 04:41 AM

Just an FYI, in 4.3.14 and later you no longer needed to do the DOS2UNIX thing (see CHANGES). I made the spells_en.txt and eqstr_en.txt loading much more line termination tolerant (heck, it'll even handle Mac style line termination...

).

Enjoy,
Zaphod (dohpaZ)

**LordCrush** · 10-08-2003, 05:13 AM

Hehe ... Thank You

Ok ... then nothing special to do =)

FYI :

It seems that the Patch that is scheduled on 10/9/03 will not come to Kael and Sebilis the same time. On the german Ubi-Board a GM posted that Kael will not be patched.

**LordCrush** · 10-09-2003, 03:21 PM

FYI:

10/10/03 ... Patch was not on Kael, I dont know about Sebilis, but don't think so ...

Use Tarball 4.3.15 and you are just fine.

MD5 of EQGAME.EXE from Kael Drakkal still : 0016923a12f4a8ad817ca6d427ebf0a9

**suseuser7341** · 10-16-2003, 12:15 PM

For 4.3.15 & 16 you may want to apply the patch for spawn names containing special character:

utf8 spawn names

Wow ... i never hoped that we would get this ... i tried myself, but failed (mostly lack of knowledge and lack of time) thank you !

**LordCrush** · 10-17-2003, 05:24 PM

Short info .. latest SEQ .16 works fine with the latest patch and suseuser7341 patch works great with it too =)

Thank you suseuser7341 =) it makes the Spawntable much more readable

Patch 17.10.03
1e1be3eeb38bf23cb0e6b425bdb9fab8 *eqgame.exe

Use Tarball 4.3.16

Download the tarball here :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/s...r.bz2?download

To extract use the following

Code:

 
tar xjvf ShowEQ-4.3.16.tar.bz2

Download this patch

UTF8 Patch

Copy the file into your src dir and apply it with

Code:

patch < utf8.patch

Then you need to get the eqstr_us.txt and spells_us.txt . This files are not avalible when you patch from german / french server. The simplest way to get them is to make another directory with a minimal EQ-Installation and patch it with the US-Life-Servers... (I have seen a thread around how to get the files with wget ... )

Copy both files to your mapdirectory /usr/local/share/showeq

Btw renaming the eqstr_de.txt to eqstr_us.txt etc. does not work

Have Fun

@Suseuser7341:

Did you test the spawnfilter ? I think the filtering on names that include umlauts does not work any longer.
