Gates of Discord - Updated June 4rth

Re: Gates of Discord

OK I did a testrun today, and there seems to be a problem.

I copied the whole SoD folder and patched this copy up to GoD. Then started SoD patcher, complete repatch after deleting files.txt of course. When I start SoD out of this folder (and changing the path to eqgame.exe in eqw accordingly), I get a transparent window when the eula-screen should show up, and that's all.
 
Re: Gates of Discord

here is what i did.

1. run the Game.exe directly from the game folder
2. on the patcher go to advanced and unselect all expansions and select GoD
3. patch
4. run sod patcher shortcut that is on my desktop, select repatch all and it all works fine.
 
Re: Gates of Discord

Sounds like the right way to do it, didn't think of it, thx. :toot:

Still working with a copy though, just in case.
 
Re: Gates of Discord

Huh I just did a testrun on another directory of course, I 'd say it's safe. Launched Everquest.exe and just selected GoD in the options (all up to LdoN also already selected here) and patched. It went pretty quicker than I expected.
Then I used SoD patcher, did the mistake of merely patching (froze my PC after launching game) and after rebooting I selected Repatched All.
Everything went good, Im just stuck with the Live maps for some reason but you just need to remove all the files in Maps folder and download the maps file in SoD webpage if it happens to you. No new zone layout (went to Freeport Darkwoods and East Plaguelands), no new models...everything's fine.

Worked fine. Just needed to repatch map files.
 
Re: Gates of Discord

Anyone that hasn't done this yet better... I hear that PoN has a nice GoD model in it ;)

After doing a bit of research on the new patcher the company is implementing soon I am making this post to let people know to start patching to GoD now if you have not already.

The development team is starting to use GoD zones and NPC models which will require patching to GoD. The new patcher being tested by the company will make this much harder. You will need to buy the GOD disks if you don't already have them after the new patcher is implimented.

Just a little bit of forewarning so you know whats up ahead. Be aware that GoD AA's are NOT being implemented as our client will not allow them.

Since GoD AA's will not be added, will the class "Beserker" not be added as well?

Since the client we use doesn't have an option for them I assume they won't be playable.
 
Re: Gates of Discord

It appears to me that our client has an option for them. It'd probably be possible to implement them but I read a long time back I think, that Wiz didn't want to add them. There was a good balance of classes with what already exists and berserkers were unneccisary. Don't quote me on that though cause I have a bad memory
 
Re: Gates of Discord

This is a BUMP.


PoNightmare utilized some GOD models. ToTarhyl will utilize more. Soon there will be entire zones cut off to those who have not done this.



GET GOD PATCHED!

It's not only that, but berserkers are the absolutely worse concept of a class and probably the worse balanced class that was ever introduced into EQ

More like combat abilities wru.

Loading mobs is one thing; it's very easy to do with the force-loading that was implemented in I believe LoY or LDoN. Getting the player profile data to add in a feature like combat abilities or new AA's is nigh impossible at this point.
 
Re: Gates of Discord

Frankly, I just wish we could get OoW zones working. GoD zones I could take or leave, but OoW zones were almost universally awesome. Oh well :(

NPC models from OoW+ were also really, really good. Some of the Dragon models in the newer (than what SoD has anyway) are just awesome.
 
It has been months+ since i patched is their somthing i can look for in my directory folder that could tell me if GoD is installed?
 
You could do a search for GoD zonefiles, a few out of my head:

Natimbi
Barindu
Riwwi
Vxed

I just wanted to confirm that this process worked for me.

If you don't hit the repatch all button on the SoD patcher, you wont be able to get past the EULA screen when eqgame.exe is run.
 
Lucky me, I've patched all the way up to DoD, I think I'll just move it back down to GoD... :toot:
 
Just curious, do we have to have the cds, or will simply patching like stated above work? Because I seem to have misplaced my GoD cds...
