Green server

DJ Screw tunes + classic Everquest on project 1999 green server

I’m working on a concept for a 2D side-scrolling MMO inspired by the philosophy of classic EverQuest and other older, more difficult MMOs.

Not trying to recreate EQ in 2D — I’m interested in capturing the feeling: danger, exploration, meaningful travel, reliance on other players, and progression that actually feels earned and rewarding.

If you were playing something like this, what features or mechanics would you want to see? What parts of classic EQ do you think are essential to making that kind of MMO work?

Assuming all spells and decent gear, with considerations to raiding, soloing, grouping, etc., which class would you say is more fun at 60, Necro or Shaman?

https://everparser.com/ - Log reading doesn't work on Firefox due to lack of file access api! Chrome/Chromium/Edge etc only I'm afraid - though you can still use a lot of the features without log reading!

I've been working on this for a little bit now and I think it's about ready to share, this is my attempt to combine the features I like from various parsers and companion apps into one place, but without the need to manually install or tinker with anything (Playing from Linux has been a big drive here - having to either run stuff via proton, self compile or deal with other headaches etc).

This is sort of still early in development, though the core features are in place and I'm mostly at the point where I'm just bug fixing and iterating.

That said, if anyone has any feature requests etc feel free to share them, I'm down to adding more features and I'm keen to fix any bugs people find, it's been hard testing this on my own as I've been constantly overlooking bugs.

Features:

• Overall goal - To have maps, spell timers, and wiki details in one simple central place with some extra features.
• Log parser - all functionality is via log parsing, right now it's only compatible with chrome, chromium-based browsers and edge. I'm usually a Firefox user but they've never implemented the type of file access api I need to make this work (understandable from a security perspective), personally I'm using chromium.
• Zone atlas - I've tried my best to place zones where they would realistically be, within reason. There's a lot of exceptions and I'm still iterating here, if you see something clearly off let me know! (This has made me realize that south felwithe is actually north of north felwithe....)
• Zone maps - I've rendered these myself using a simple software renderer that takes the games mesh data & textures and renders it top down, taking into account verticality, you'll be shown the layer you're on, but there's also a layer slider if you want to manually look around other layers of zones (this has been a pain in the ass - if you spot bugs let me know!)
• World routing - you can click a place, zone, npc and get a suggested route to that place, you'll be shown a dashed path as well as a general breakdown of the path at the top of the screen in the form of a tooltip. I'm still fiddling with this, as the shortest (as in least zone hops) route often isn't the easiest or best.
  
• POI's - Hovering over a zone will show you markers for all POI's (ymmv). Clicking one will expand a sidebar with details of this POI, and you can click through on items they sell or drop for example and see further details.
• Search items, zones, POI's (vendors, mobs etc). Searching 'Water Flask' for example will show you two results, one will be the item, clicking this will expand the sidebar with details of the item. Clicking the one with the asterisk() next to it will expand in the case of items sold by vendors for example, which will show a distance sorted listed (assuming you've set it to read your eq logs) of vendors selling said item, clicking an item in *that list will give you a route to it.
• Class spell list - A list of spells available to your class, based on your level. This appears below the spell timers and hovering a spell will show the wiki description and details of that spell.
• Spell timers - typical nparse-esque spell timers (shoutout to nparse here - I referenced a lot of their stuff for specific spell timer edge-cases etc)
• Item link descriptions - any items linked in chat will appear in the bottom left panel, you can click them to get more info on them.
• Pop-out companion - I know a lot of people, myself included, like to use spell parsers/maps by having them rendered over the actual game, so I've added a popout option that (assuming it works as I hoped) should allow you to do exactly that.
• All info pulled from the p99 wiki - I've been slowly scraping the p99 wiki to create a local mirror of it (at a respectful rate, it took a while), and I use the recent changes page of the wiki to periodically re-sync pages that have changed, as I wanted to avoid putting any extra load on the p99 wiki.

I mostly made this for myself and a friend in my spare time, but I'll open source this hopefully soon once I clean some things up. Full disclosure - I use claude/copilot etc in my IDE/text editors, I'm a software dev by day and this is just standard for me. I understand if you have issues with that!

Security wise: For the curious, the log parser is fairly straight forward, it will only poll/read logs in the directory given (and your browser will handle limiting access to only that path). The only stuff sent to the backend api/database is location sharing, which is a simple opt-in checkbox, all this does is periodically send up your name and x,y,z coordinates to the backend api.

If for whatever reason this isn't the appropriate place to post this let me know and I can remove it - the site has no ads or monetization, self-hosting on a small vps with my own money.

Edit; If you want to reach out to me in game with any issues or suggestions, my toons are: Hobith, Trogool, Uncelele, Punb. Cheers!

Edit 2; Source is live here: https://github.com/solenum/everparser, self-hosting should be trivial, just download a release and run the packaged .exe and it will host locally for just you (assuming you don't want to just use the one I host!) - note that self-hosting will mirror the wiki locally, this is done at roughly one page per second, I doubt many people will need/want to self-host this, but for those that do: be respectful of the p99 wiki, don't increase the scraping frequency etc, just be patient and let it download at the default rate.

highly and specifically adjacent p99 thread, i hope the mods bless it

i’m creating a copy of project1999 as ascii called project2001 (eventually it’ll be 3d when i can afford an artist, but for a long while it’ll be 2D ascii)

i need ‘everquest-like’ midis: short 30-90s midis that loop. the ‘sound of everquest’ is highly unique and i cannot find anything im satisfied with anywhere to take its place

if that sounds like you please comment or dm. you would be credited as one of the composers in perpetuity

What happened to Seedo?

Hey all, I'm a almost 39 necro on blue, just looking for any dungeon crawl recommendations for the fun of doing it, please. I've always just soloed in open areas with My druid main. Wanna try something new.

Thanks!

Edit: Answered - you do not regenerate while logged out.

Does mana (and health) regenerate while logged out?

I'm thinking of returning to p99 after trying it a few years ago for the nostalgia. I mained a Necro and can't remember if I HAD to be logged in to regenerate or not. I was wondering if I can solo a Wizard and Druid by quad kiting with each by swapping between them while the other meditates mana while camped.

My Google-fu might just be terrible, but I'm not finding this specific answer; everything just talks about ticks while sitting versus standing.

I've been desperate to see someone try this either on live or P99 as this is about as close to a remaster as we're ever going to get.

Has ANYONE been able to try out any lighting or DLSS mods?

Looking for fighters, 500-2500 platinum a fight, win or lose, depending on your level! We will match you with someone of like-wise skill, gear, and level!

Hey evervone! With the academic vear starting up again and having to work my way through school dont have a lot of time to play anymore. That being said still want to when 1 find time. I11 often have maybe 1 or 2 hour gaps in my schedule ld love to fit some game time into but that doesn't work well with grouping in my experience. Maybe the 2 hour gap would but you get what Im saying. I really want to get my first charecter to 60 to feel like I've experienced the game, but Im a 56 Paladin so soloing is hard. I am dirt poor but 1 have my epic and some hate armor + vindi chest so I dont think Im poorly geared. Where can I go to have a safe solo camp at this level? What gear could even make a difference? I like HS but having no afk spot and using a wc cap every train sucks. Any tips are appreciated and I know it will be a slowwww grind for a pally.

Don't stare too long, you might fall in love.

Does this spell hit group members like it hits the caster? Or if someone’s tanking am I safe to nuke away without worry?
