Yeah I finally got everything working except full screen is still really windowed mode, but I only see a sliver of the top bar and I am able to alt tab freely so it works out fine. I basically just did the opposite of what the guide said lol.fwiw that help section is difficult because 2 servers use it but also then support different things... also that help section update / new eqw few months ago means you're probably beta testing some of the new programs to relieve said problems
If anyone else is trying to get started and isn't familiar with emus, like me I never played any emu until thj and that was idiot proof setup, here is how to do it:
Step 1: join the quarm discord linked in the first post of this thread, you'll need some files from there. Also there's steps there under account creation tab you need to follow to create an takp forum and then login account.
Note: download all these zips to wherever, my downloads, my documents, new folder (87) on your desktop, whatev.
Step 2: go here and download the 2.2 client (about half way down the page, #2 under download the client)
Getting Started on Windows - The Al`Kabor Project Wiki
Step 3: download quarmpatcher.zip from the quarm discord under server files tab.
Step 4: download zeal from Release v1.3.4 · CoastalRedwood/Zeal
Step 4: Unzip the TAKP PC V2.2 client directly to your c: drive (not program files or program files 86 or anything, it should be like C:>TAKPv2.2 or some shit when it unzips.
Step 5: unzip quarmpatcher.zip to your desktop. This will create a folder called QuarmPatcher on your desktop. Open this folder and cut/copy all the files directly into your TAKPv2.2 folder, NOT any of the sub folders such as uifiles, help, SpellEffects, etc.
Step 6: unzip zeal to your desktop. This will create a folder called zeal_v1.3.4_72f16a1 on your desktop. Open this folder and cut/copy the 3 files zeal.asi, zeal.pdb, and zeal_Readme.md directly into the same TAKPv2.2 folder. Go back to your zeal folder on the desktop and you will see a subfolder called uifiles, open that folder and there's another subfolder called Zeal. Cut/Copy this folder and go back to your TAKPv2.2 install, open uifiles and drop the zeal subfolder into the uifiles subfolder, you should see other subfolders in here like default, duxaUI, nemesis, etc. this is where Zeal folder goes.
Step 7: in the TAKPv2.2 main install folder search for eqclient.ini file, a configuration file. open this with a text editor and scroll down til you see [video mode] and just below this you will see your resolution settings, type in your desired resolution in the Width=X and height=X fields and then save the file.
Step 8: in the TAKPv2.2 main install folder search for eqemupatcher.exe (application file). Send a shortcut for this app to your desktop or wherever you want your shortcut to be, this is how you will start the client. run this application, patch the game (you can check autopatch so it does this automatically), when done, click play (likewise there's an autoplay check box if you want).
There you go.
