<p>oh, wow !</p><p>Nice musics</p>

[Xalmat]

<p>Win! Time to listen.</p>

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Hmm the Qeynos Dojo has caught my attention...I hope it's a positive change sich as a new head of the Dojo (the old leader is wandering around the Fens hand ing out the Epic Questline.)</span></p>

I'm guessing themed housing.

[kcirrot]

<p>Anyone know where this data exists in Windows7?</p>

[Xalmat]

<p>It exists wherever your EQ2 install directory is.</p><p>Then within your EQ2 directory:</p><p>TestServermusiczones_exp07</p><p>and</p><p>TestServerpaks</p>

[feldon30]

I actually can't get this patch to finish. It gets stuck on ShaTplt.vpk. I've tried deleting my existing file to no avail. It downloads the file, checks it, and deletes it. In the error logs it says that the CRC doesn't match.

<p>SIGH, nice job SOE.  After your update EQ crashes over and over now.  Can't even log into the game. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[feldon30]

If someone still has these files, please send me an e-mail morganfeldon (at) gmail.com. Looks like they updated the manifest and these files don't download anymore, and I missed them because of the ShaTplt.vpk file. Don't run Test patcher until you make a copy of these files (if you are interested in the Velious music).

<p>Just seeing those zone names again gives me a chubby</p>

[Enica]

<p>Speaking of these files, I was just poking around in my EQ2 folder and in the music folder, there's an XMI folder with files that have names from EQ1 in there (lots of Luclin stuff).  Any idea what those are?</p>

[Barq Bandit]

<p>Those music files are the ones played via the original Frostfell music boxes from years ago.  There were eight different boxes and functioned in much the same way as the musical snow globes did later on, but with midi music instead of EQ2's own mp3's.  They were a lovely touch of nostalgia for EQ1 veterans.</p>

[Enica]

<p>Ah alright.  Even though I've been around for the most part since launch, I've had to take quite a few breaks.  And almost all these breaks seemed to happen right around winter so that this is only my second Frostfell.  I wasn't here for the snowglobes.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
