It looks like some extra BB code formatting got pasted in there. I think I have corrected it now, please try again with the new eq.conf file.

Interestingly, I just ran across a Go implementation of EQBCS on Github complete with a Dockerfile for easy building and running on Linux. I haven't checked it out yet, but it claims to remove the 55 connection limit and does the things that I added to my own C++ fork, including timestamped log...

I'm always looking for a way to automate things and improve my setup, so I spent a little time to see if I could get Everquest running in Docker. In another post, I explained how to get EQ running on Linux, hopefully this will help more people get it running due to the standardization that...

I changed quite a bit... I split out the modules into separate files, converted to CMake, introduced C++20-isms, and started to remove raw buffer access when it wasn't really needed. So I am hesitant to drop that kind of a pull request since whomever is maintaining the code wouldn't recognize...

I did try to get Dannet working under Wine a few weeks ago and actually did run it under a debugger and you are exactly right, it is failing on epoll. I did try rebuilding it with every other available polling option and was unsuccessful. I gave up because I didn't really need Dannet and EQBCS...

Yeah, I run that on all my prefixes. I wish there was a native Dannet for Linux!

I was pretty excited to try this, but unfortunately I got a segfault when I did. I'll have to look into what this does and see if I can trace what is happening.

I fixed the typo, sorry about that! Thanks for pointing it out. I haven't tried running the RedGuides launcher as I wanted to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to Wine. If you go through a reinstall, next time just copy/zip your wine prefix directory to make things easier in the...

Nice! And thanks for the little easter egg there at the end. I'm looking forward to my new Druid! 😇

Reading Log Files While Windows has a great many tools that can read the Everquest log files and provide some great services, Linux has its own secret weapon: the Unix (and in my case, Bash) shell. With over 50 years of service, the dizzying array of shell tools available will allow you to do...

I forgot about the nav meshes! curl -O --output-dir ~/Downloads https://mqmesh.com/resources/zips/MQ2Nav_meshes.zip cd /opt/wine/mqeq/drive_c/mq/resources/MQ2Nav unzip ~/Downloads/MQ2Nav_meshes.zip

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I just wanted to report in success on Linux running EQ, MacroQuest, and EQBC under Wine. This post isn't really a step-by-step tutorial, but I did want to post a few of the things I ran into and how I fixed them. I know my way around the Linux command line...
