Oldschool graphics?

    Will Phinny have the oldschool 1999 graphics? or is it something you can toggle on and off?

    You can toggle characters on or off for old graphics, but zones and mob graphics are the same regardless of which graphic settings you use.

    You can, however, use old spell effects by creating a batch file to delete spell effects file on every start up. The only drawback is they removed the sparkles on the hands. So you see the finished effect on the target, but no more sparkle showers from hands. :(

    If you wish to know syntax for batch file, here it is:

    Code:
    del "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\spellsnew.edd"
    del "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\spellsnew.eff"
    del "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\combattheme1.mp3"
    del "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\combattheme2.mp3"
    del "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\eqtheme.mp3"
    cd "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\"
    start "" "C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme
    exit
    
    Simply go to your desktop, right click, select New, then highlight Text File. Name it "EQ-NoPatch.bat". Then once you rename it, right click and Edit. Paste that code above into it. Save/close it. Now, you only need to run your original Everquest.exe (patcher) when a patch comes out. When that happens, run the patcher, and instead of clicking Play, close it back down then run your batch file. Voila! Old spell effects. Hope this helps.

    Oops, you can remove the three lines that delete the MP3 files. I don't like the new music. :p
