Each time you log…","content":"** Texture Cache **\n\nIn an effort to improve loading and zoning times, we've added the \nability to cache textures to your hard drive. One of the things that \nyour computer is doing when you load up the game or change zones is \nbuilding textures and putting them into RAM on your computer. Each time \nyou log in or zone the game has to create the textures you need and put \nthem into RAM for use during gameplay.\n\nThis, obviously, takes a little time.\n\nWe have added an option that allows you to save that information to \nyour hard drive rather than creating it each time you log in or zone.\n\nThis does have a few drawbacks. It will require a lot of hard drive \nspace to store these textures. In the most extreme case it could use up \nas much as 1.5 GB of hard drive space, though this would be the \nextreme. It could, however, easily use 500 MB of space on your hard \ndrive. And because writing all this data to your hard drive takes a \nlittle time, the first time you use this feature it will take a bit \nlonger to log in.\n\nThe game will never allow you to fall below 500 MB of space on your \nhard drive when creating the texture cache. This is to prevent any \nproblems with a shortage of space on your hard drive. But it also means \nthat you will need to have plenty of hard drive space free to use this \noption; 500 MB plus the amount needed for the texture cache.\n\nAlso, if you change any of your setting for graphics {like changing the \ntexture quality) it will have to rewrite these files, meaning that your \nfirst log in after making such a change will take longer than usual as \nit writes these files to your hard drive.\n\nThe benefits is that once you have allocated the hard drive space and \nlogged in to create the needed files, the game can then read that \ninformation directly into RAM from your hard drive rather than creating \nthem each time you log in or zone.\n\nWhat this feature does not allow you to do is to increase the settings \nabove those that are recommended. If the game suggests that you only \nuse ten models, turning on the Texture Cache will not make it a good \nidea to turn on more models. This feature will not change that. Those \nrecommendations are based on the amount of RAM you have available and \nyour video card. The hard drive cache does not effectively add RAM to \nyour machine, it just allows the game to save time creating the \ntextures that your existing RAM and video card use.\n\nThere are two ways to activate this feature. You can check the 'Texture \nCache' box in the Options screen, or you can turn it on from within the \neqclient.ini file. To activate it, add the following line to the \neqclient.ini file:\n\nTextureCache=TRUE\n\nThis could improve load times dramatically depending on your settings. \nThe more models and graphics features you have turned on, the greater \nthe potential decrease in loading times you will see using the Texture \nCache.\n\nRemember: This will require a lot of hard drive space, so be certain \nthat you have a lot of free hard drive space if you turn this option \non. The more stuff you enable (models, texture quality, etc.) the more \nspace you will need.\n\nWe expect this to be of greatest benefit to folks with 256 megs of RAM \nand a lot of hard drive space. The more RAM your system has, the less \nbenefit you should expect to see by using the texture cache.\n\n* Patch Changes *\n\n- Fixed a pathing problem in the waters of Acrylia Caverns\n- More fixes for face and hair issues: Most notably a bug with Erudite \nmale hair color arrows changing the hair style instead of the color.\n- Fixed a problem that was causing the % to crash some people when \nusing in tells.\n- Addressed several potential crash bugs.","content_hash":"0c3b0f73dba885521aec08173ec442a46f8c50cb1ea576eb5d306ce09acb94e3","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 13, 2001 12:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"13a64aa7759e224f518b4aa8ddaa22f87a9d70606202ce320bc00d03f210e29c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":258936,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 13, 2001 12:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"458f2b170fbafe639c0a1371b0358cf8e38a8224ad6dfe378a2926bab025c1cf","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":268276,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 13, 2001 12:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"21af52729f97bc7bec3c4bd13102b3d7b8d0507e9b536ad4b0b31ad7c968d564","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":60348,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 13, 2001 12:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-12-13-1","id":"2001-12-13-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-12-12","effective_date":"2001-12-12","display_date":"December 12, 2001 12:00 am","title":"December 12, 2001 12:00 am","year":2001,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Changes"],"change_count":17,"word_count":293,"summary":"Patch Changes * Several changes to hair functionality: Expanded beard color choices for Erudite males, pushed back the camera a bit for human males when making hair selections (so they can see themselves) and fixed it so that the camera will no longer rotate around Erudites while in hair selection…","content":"* Patch Changes *\n\n- Several changes to hair functionality: Expanded beard color choices \nfor Erudite males, pushed back the camera a bit for human males when \nmaking hair selections (so they can see themselves) and fixed it so \nthat the camera will no longer rotate around Erudites while in hair \nselection mode of character creation.

It is our duty \nto see what hasn't yet been seen and to make song of it when we return. \nWe carry news, song and spirit to all of Norrath. We have also taken it \nupon ourselves to carry personal news in the form of letters wherever \npossible. And that's what I've called you here to talk about. \n\n... \n\nNo, I am not assigning you the duty of establishing a mail route into \nGrobb. We've lost far too many young bards trying to do that. \nRecruitment of smart young lads and lasses is nearly impossible when \nthey all think that we plan to send them out to become bard fillet. \nWe've only been able to recruit youngsters that no other guild wanted \nbecause they were so... \n\n... \n\nNo, of course I don't mean you. \n\nNow stop interrupting. \n\nI have a job for you. You know, don't you, that Al'Kabor has once again \nbeen clomping about using his powerful magics without much regard for \nconsequences, don't you? \n\n... \n\n/em sighs. \n\nOk, your FIRST task is to read up on current events! () \n\nYour second task is to find out if the rumors about his recent \nexperiments are true. They say (and \"they\" are pretty reliable) that \nthings such as noble-looking Kerrans calling themselves the Vah Shir, \nstrange beasts of burden and new spells and songs have started showing \nup on Antonica. They also say that this is all due to the experiments \nof that Erudite Wizard Al'Kabor. You are to head out to one of the \ngreat wizard spires and investigate. If you can, interview one of these \ncat people and bring us back one of these horses they talk about... \n\n... \n\nMaybe you should talk to my assistant about things like directions out \nof the city and where you can find some shoes more appropriate for \ntravel.\" \n\nAll this you overhear as you wait outside for your turn to talk to the \nloremasters of the League of Antonican Bards. \n\nThe door opens and you see a dejected and confused looking young bard \nstep out. Following him out the door you hear a bellow, \n\n\"I also expect you to let everyone know that we are NO LONGER trying to \nestablish mail routes to Grobb! Trolls can't read very well anyway.\" \n\nShadows of Luclin opens up new adventures and new challenges, as well \nas new rewards for those with a spirit of adventure. \n\nAre you up to the challenge? \n\n*** Notes for Shadows of Luclin customers *** \n\nIMPORTANT: do not lose your Shadows of Luclin CDs. Because of the \nimmense amount of data on the three Shadows of Luclin CDs, you will not \nbe able to just copy the executable file into a new directory and \ndownload the rest of the expansion. We have placed restrictions on the \namount of data that customers can download from our patcher so that \nmassive patching as a replacement for reinstalling from the disk will \nnot impact our other customers. So if you have a hard drive problem or \nyou wish to install EverQuest on a new computer, you will need to have \nyour CD to do so. \n\nTECH SUPPORT: Please visit our Tech Support Center at if you have any \nproblems with your Luclin installation. \n\n/facepick - this new command will allow those of you with Shadows of \nLuclin to change your characters face. It will only work for characters \nusing the new models. If you've turned off Gnomes and your character is \na Gnome, you will not be able to use this command on that character. \nAnd it will, obviously, only work for those with Shadows of Luclin \ninstalled. \n\n/dismount - This command allows your character to dismount from a horse \nif for some reason he has lost the ability to do so using the bridle. \nThere is no /mount command, only the bridle will allow you to mount a \nhorse. \n\n*** Other Changes with this Patch *** \n\nAlong with our preparations for the introduction of Shadows of Luclin, \nwe have made a few other changes with this patch: \n\n** Gameplay Changes ** \n\n- Increased the amount of mana given by high Intelligence and Wisdom \nscores, as well as that granted by items and spells. \n\n- Fixed a bug that was causing rogues to critical with every use of a \nthrown weapon. \n\n- Fixed a bug that caused the experience bar to displaying incorrectly \nafter leveling. This also seemed to cause a crash in certain cases when \nin F10 view. \n\n** PvP Changes ** \n\n- PVP looting will now display to the group. \n\n- Empty corpses will no longer disappear when looted by an enemy \nplayer, they will decay at the normal rate for empty corpses. \n\n- Guards in 'guard zones', such as cities, will continue to protect \ncharacters that they find the least offensive (the one with the highest \nfaction). But guards in outdoor zones will be less likely to join in a \nfight. They will only come to the aid of people that they like. \nOtherwise they will not get involved in PvP combat. \n\n- Etched Peridot of Nature will be removed from all locations, \nincluding those held by players on their characters or in their banks. \nThis item was not intended to be available until Shadows of Luclin went \nlive, and then only in Luclin zones. \n\n** Spell Changes ** \n\n- Spells that heal less than 10 points of damage will not generate a \nmessage to the player. \n\n- Velious portal teeth (Great Divide, Wakening Lands and Cobalt Scar) \nare no longer required to teleport to those locations. These items are \nalso no longer soul bound. \n\n- Fixed a bug with the Bard Song of Occlusion \n\n** New Commands ** \n\n- /stand now implemented. We've added this command because not everyone \nspeaks programmer and would think that the logical reverse of /sit \nwould be /sit off. :) \n\n- /particledensity command - Switches particle density on the fly \nwithout having to click it in the menus and exit the game. \n\n** Some new things you'll see ** \n\n- We now have the ability to flag an NPC as non-targetable. This in \neffect renders the NPC non-attackable as well. Clicking on one of these \nNPCs will cause your current target selection to clear. This \nfunctionality is used primarily for the presentation of content. For \ninstance, if we want an NPC to spawn and tell you a story, he can tell \nhis story without being attacked mid-sentance by other players. It also \nopens up some pretty interesting content avenues. As an example, we can \nmake NPCs unharmable until you do a quest \"stripping them of their \npower\". \n\n- There are several new item classes (types) in the world. For example, \nthere are weapons that do enhanced damage versus certain races (e.g. \nPerhaps you'll find a +2 vs froglok sword, or a +4 vs Bear club. In \naddition we can do the same type of thing with types of creatures (+3 \nvs humanoid, +1 vs Undaed). We've also added elemental modifiers (e.g. \na +4 Fire sword). The bonus value is calculated as and increased DMG \nstat on the weapon, except that the elemental portion is run through \nthe resistance system before calculating the strength of your hit. \nThere are some items out there with bonuses to some more interesting \nstats, but we'll leave it to you to figure them out :) \n\n- There's a lot more out there. Be prepared to reevaluate your \nassumptions and redefine the way you approach the world. Proposed \nsolutions to situations and quests that you might have previously \nwritten off saying, \"They can't do that in EverQuest\", might be exactly \nthe way you need to approach the problem at hand. As fellow gamers, we \nenvy you as you approach Luclin and find everything fresh, new, and \nwaiting to be solved. And to those of you who aren't first to solve the \nquests or adventure in the new areas, we urge you to do so with your \nfriends, and leave the spoiler sites out of it. Good luck on your \njournies. \n\n** Note on New Features ** \n\nEverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin contains many new features which have \nyet to stand up to the scrutiny of 400,000 experienced players. Without \ndoubt there will be some situations where we need to reevaluate the \ngameplay-impact of some of those features and adjust them accordingly \nto maintain game integrity. As an example, we think that they might \naccelerate and decelerate too quickly, but will have to wait until we \nsee them used by a broad spectrum of players before we can make a final \ndetermination. We thank you for your patience in these matters. \n\n** Note on Impending Features **\n\nAs we approached our launch date we found that several features which \nare planned are also not yet ready for prime-time. We're currently \nworking on the following items, many of which will be implemented in \nthe very near future: \n\n- Extra flora in outdoor zones. Sprigs of grass, small bushes, flowers, \netc. \n\n- A robuste merchantile system in the bazaar that lets you flag \nyourself as a merchant, set prices, and conduct business without having \nto conduct business manually with each buyer and seller. \n\n- We will be polishing up issues regarding tinted items in game. In \nother words, things that shouldn't tint with a tinted item (e.g. your \nskin) won't tint when the feature is complete. \n\n- Light beards on high elves, dark elves, half elves, and dwarf females \nwill be tintable along with the hair color. We are going to leave in \nthe ability for you to change your appearance until after we've added \nmore customization options. \n\nWe thank you for your patience and patronage as we implement these \nfeatures. Good luck with your adventures on Luclin! \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"d420a5786affeb7ffda9aeed627b7d68aa383cea2371d7fdcd8da6bf2b208f3d","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 4, 2001 6:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"68e4addaac61eca337f712591563175c7e7c6f18c24b61bc73d24b5fb20b3958","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":242198,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 4, 2001 6:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"35825f242c19df9acb5727dfdc271a90b5d778ed0e5198134f0b9a69ff0ccf80","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":250956,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 4, 2001 6:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"7589879d2ed1debb836c30621f5a7aa19e2832beee670d2246a7451a46eb6a23","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":43028,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 4, 2001 6:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-12-04-1","id":"2001-12-04-1"}]}
