What are /r/project1999's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This has been a problem for me for years. I took a break from playing and when I came back I found that a program I had installed in the meantime completely fixes it. https://justgetflux.com/ totally free

It's a program that makes your monitor have a more "natural light" to be easier on your eyes, but that's not the point. Just having the program running, with the values set so that it doesn't actually change the brightness/color of your screen anyway, completely removes the issue on windows 7.

Was so thrilled when I realized it wasn't doing it anymore.

The best I can offer on this (frequently asked) question is a wiki page I made awhile ago:

While there is a P99 Discord, you can't get the client from it, so that discord link you saw was probably put up by a private player (unofficially) to share with his friends. Unless you can find that link, your best bet (as the wiki will explain) really is to sail the high seas. Without doing that you'll have to waste money and wait for a CD to arrive in the mail (post-Christmas).

A couple of ideas to get around your circumstances:

1. Get a VPN service. I use "Private Internet Access" and they only cost like $5/month (you'd only need it for one month). When you use a VPN service your computer never sails the high seas. Instead, you install a VPN program on your computer, it talks to Private Internet Access's computer, the two setup an encrypted connection, and then through that connection (that no one can see, including whoever runs your network) your computer asks PIA's computer to send you the stuff from the high seas.

2. Got a laptop? Just go to a coffee shop, internet cafe, or anywhere else with free wireless. You'll be on a completely different network that your home network knows nothing about.

P.S. One final thought: if you don't read that page be sure to have a decent anti-virus program installed (this one is free with the most "seeds" you're almost certain to get a safe file ... but still you're dealing with internet strangers so anti-virus is always a good bet.

That's quite strange. Perhaps the file got renamed or something similar?

Regardless, it's a tiny file. Here's a link to download a copy -- perhaps you can drop it in and solve the issue easily?

No worries, it can be fixed!

Assuming you have X11 and whatever else you'd usually need from playing previously, with El Capitan, you now need to turn off rootless. Steps for that (from here):

1. Restart the computer, while booting hold down Command-R to boot into recovery mode.
2. Once booted, navigate to the "Utilities > Terminal" in the top menu bar.
3. Enter "csrutil disable" in the terminal window and hit the return key.
4. Restart the machine and System Integrity Protection will now be disabled.

Should be working as normal after that (does for me). If not, drop me a PM and I'd be happy to help further.

I absolutely recommend http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/ it's GNU software written by credible engineers. I've had nothing but problems with daemon tools etc.

So if you're able to successfully mount the ISO can you browse around in the virtual cd drive? I'd try maybe copying the contents of a the mounted iso to your hd, if that fails it's gotta be a problem with the ISO.

Like LordZarak said if you have a working install somewhere you can just copy it over, I've done that too.

That pirate bay link has been stickied on the p99 forums forever. It's like a Picture of a pirate, a bay, a spyglass, an everquest logo and a bar of titanium. Though I haven't been back in a few years so perhaps they've taken it down. They don't want links to torrents here but eh...

https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3894156/EverQuest_Titanium is the one I've always used.

Casey's link is https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/12176796/EverQuest_Titanium_-_Project_1999_-_The_Scars_of_Velious which I believe has the luclin+ zones pruned to reduce space on those old shitboxes.

Raspberry Pis are ARM as well, so probably not. System requirements for p99 are so low, you could buy a used desktop/laptop for a couple hundred bucks and play on it? 🤷‍♂️

VPNs are stupid easy now. Check out any of the commercially available ones like NordVPN or Express VPN. They run like $5/mo and they typically just have a client you install, run, and you’re connected.

I'd suggest using window mode, and using Borderless Gaming or what have you to switch it to borderless window mode. I use an autohotkey script to do this upon ctrl and =, which works great.

Also, it seems that running the game with WineD3D for Windows can mitigate a lot of the unexplainable crashing issues which people may experience with this game.

(Basically copy the d3d9.dll and wined3d.dll files to the titanium folder, and it'll run the game with a Vulkan/OpenGL wrapper.)

if you need an alt email account, check out Firefox Relay, basically makes a email address that just forwards to your normal email. Handy if you don't want to give someone your actual email address.

Great write-up, thank you!

You can always have time for both, can highly recommend this value investing book if you want to learn more about valuing stocks in an relatively easy and concrete way. Had him as teacher and loved his course.

Oohhhh so it's a weapon delay bonus. So the main hand weapon delay gets incorrectly attributed to the bow, rather than the bow delay. I guess this is also easy to test with that duel trick. Thank you! If that's the case I know the answer to the question (formulas below are from a Wiki page that was linked by the p1999 devs - link)...

• Pre-Kunark: weapon delay bonus is the same across the board (even 1h, 2h). Since the bonus is not dependent on delay, only level, no point in switching weapons.

Bonus = (level - 25)/3

• Kunark: 1h weapon bonus is the same as above, but 2handers get a better bonus. Still, the bonus is not dependent on delay, only level and 1h vs. 2h, so in Kunark you should make sure to equip a 2hander.

2H Bonus for >50 = (level - 7)/3

2H Bonus for <50 = (level - 25)/2

• Velious: 1h weapon bonus is still the same as above, but 2handers finally get more tiers. Note that the bonus is only dependent on delay if the 2handed delay is > 44!

2H Bonus for <=27 = (level - 22)/3 Same as 1handers (fast 2handers actually were nerfed in Velious).

2H Bonus for 28-39 Delay = same as Kunark bonus

2H Bonus for 40-42 Delay = Kunark bonus + 1

2H Bonus for 43-44 Delay = Kunark bonus + 3

2H Bonus for >44 Delay = Kunark Bonus + (Delay - 31)/3

---

So this answers my question for the current Green environment: just equip a 2hander.

For Velious, the 2handed bonus comes into play but only if >44 delay. Some examples at level 60:

• Woodsman's Staff (35 Delay) = 17 bonus

• Swarmcaller (41 Delay) = 18 bonus

• Rusty Halberd (56 Delay) = 25 bonus

• Earthshake (70 Delay) = 30 bonus

• Weighted Axe (150 Delay, not usable by Ranger) = 57 bonus

And as for_a_girl said, lower delay bows take way more advantage of this than higher delay bows, so use that Wind Saber on your ranger!

Immersion is pretty important, but you could try a program like this. You can still have EQ fullscreen, and have the advantages of faster alt-tabbing when/if needed.

I use an autohotkey script to do borderless window. I had concerns about the use of the external program but since it does not modifies of act on the gameplay, I've had no issues from the admins. Script here. Just press F12 once in game with the script running to activate.

I also use the software Dual Monitor Tools to lock the mouse to the game screen to avoid clicking off screen during gameplay. I unlock when needed with a hotkey set in the program.

If Win10 native mounting doesn't work for you, you can use third party software like Virtual Clonedrive or daemon tools.

Torrent the ISOs or use this google drive link.

After you download and install EQ, do not run it. Follow the guide I linked above closely.

Hello

If you have CD Roms and don't have a drive you could install on one PC and then transfer all by USB to second PC.

I use Win CD Emu which is really easy to use, and the same as daemon tools but totally free.

With Win CD Emu you CAN CREATE AN ISO IMAGE It's easy

&#x200B;

StepOne : make iso images of your game CD ROMs

StepTwo : Copy ISOs and mounting software on USB

StepThree : Install software and Mount ISOs

StepFour : Enjoy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you installed Win CD Emu on your Second Machine

-Just doubleclick your *.ISO files and select a letter for the drive you wish to mount your iso on.

say G:

-Without having to eject your first mounted iso, do the same with the CD 2, choose H:

-Same for CD 3 with I:

-same for CD 4 with J:

-Open G:\ and start Setup.exe

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-when asked for CD 2, just erase G:\ and put H:\

-for CD 3 erase H:\ and put I:\

-for CD 4 erase I:\ and put J:\

-when asked for CD 1, put back G:\ instead of J:\
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Win CD Emu you can mount any number of Iso you want.

(I'm not part of Win CD Emu team)

Courage, hope to see you ingame.

First: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&amp;iId=229

Second: http://sourceforge.net/projects/q4wine/

Q4Wine is basically a "shell interface" for WINE that simplifies a lot of dirty work. You can create customized presets for Windows applications that force them to open in certain window sizes using selected command line arguments with very little need for the Terminal.

Once you get it running stable you can make sure all the modifications to how the program opens are saved and simply double-click a button to open EQ in the way you've tinkered with. Lovely.

Not sure of this helps but here's a guide using an http proxy: https://www.nomachine.com/AR04E00457#:~:text=In%20the%20connection%20settings%20click,you%20would%20like%20to%20use and one for using a reverse ssh tunnel: https://www.nomachine.com/AR01N00870

Get a MMO mouse like this so that you can play songs without stressing your wrists on the keyboard

I believe that might the manual included with the game. I am trying to find this one:

Works fine for small games like p99 and web even do discord on it occasionally. This is the one I bought has m3 processor and windows 10 so like little laptop.

I ended up using Private Internet Access VPN this weekend, and it worked fine. Was super easy to use. I tried to use the tethering option on my phone but it was going to cost me more than the VPN. Unless there's free tethering options that I'm not aware of.

This badboy would do the job, only negative is the storage is 32GB, so won't be much cop if you are using it for anything but streaming/p99/general internet.
