Default EQ Client Version Numbers
In accordinance to the ideas that I posted in this thread proposing a new way to communicate client version numbers instead of just 'patch dates', this post is to present the download for the 1.0.0 release of the EQVerCheck, a program which will, once put into a complete EverQuest installation folder, will generate a version number depending on your patch date, which can be used in communicating exactly what versions of the EverQuest's core files you contain.

Instructions
Download the executable file from the link below, and save it into your EverQuest directory (the one you want to find the version for). Then run EQVerCheck.exe and on the screen, hit the "Calculate" button. You will get an output like this.
Quote:
EQVerCheck Initiated. Version: 1.0.0
Beginning Process...
EQGraphicsDX9.dll and eqgame.exe FOUND.
Assuming EQ Installation is complete.
Reporting..
Generating Version Strings...
SHORT VERSION: SEQ12167
LONG VERSION: EQ803157012C78A812C924A7C11E2727A6B8291587
The above bolded part is the important part. These are your version numbers. The short version is to be used for general communication.. the long version is for seeing if you have the right versions / missing versions of specific files.. details are in the aforementioned post on how to decipher the long string.

Amendments
New-er!
Links for the download of EQVerCheck 3.1 have been removed due to a fire at the datacenter that was hosting EQVerCheck and its remote dependency. EQVerCheck's data files are now stored on EQEMulator.net.

EQVerCheck now has the ability in version 2.0.0 to suggest a loginserver and server version. Provided that I (or whoever ends up doing it for me) updates the version information server side, this should most-of-the-time work. If you end up getting a version that is not recognized, feel free to report it here. Make sure you include the date that you patched when you report an unrecognized version. But this is not foolproof and if it doesnt suggest a login server or server version correctly, dont freak out, I cant promise you anything

Testing
Successfully tested by our Volenteers on:
Windows XP
Windows 98
Wine and Wine Derivatives (Cedega, Cxoffice)

Download
Due to the increasing file size of the executable, it is now compressed in a zip archive.
EQVerCheck 3.1.1
>>Download Now! (736 KiB) <<

Problems?
Note: EQVerCheck 3 and higher no longer use MFC and the following troubleshooting does not apply.
If you're getting an error such as...
Quote:
EQVerCheck Initiated. Version: 1.0.0
Beginning Process...
Could not find a complete EverQuest installation in the current directory.
Please move EQVerCheck.exe to your EverQuest folder and re-run.
That simply means you did not correctly save the application in your EverQuest folder. Most commonly your EverQuest directory is located at C:/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest or C:/Program Files/EverQuest or C:/EverQuest depending on the age of your EverQuest installation.

Quote:
This application has failed to start because MFC42.DLL was not found.
This is caused from lacking MFC on your computer. This is a very rare occurance, because MFC has been shipped with Windows computers since Windows 95. If this is so, however, you need to download the MFC Runtime package from Microsoft's website.

C++ is wonderful.

Pardon? The version numbers have absolutely nothing to do with the day/week/month.

Default Patcher
- You have patched to live which has an incompatible version with EQEMu.
-- You have an unpatched or too old version of EverQuest that this program recognizes.
-- An error has occured reading the verison information file.
-- This program is too outdated to match this version of EverQuest with a loginserver.
Please report this on the EQEmulator forums with your SEQ number ( SEQ0A167) and date you patched to live. ONLY report versions you KNOW to work with a version of EQEMulator.

should i run the patcher again? did try another emulator which told me to patch it, last patched 1 week ago, but may not have selected expansions

This seems very odd.. I'll be working on EQVerCheck4 very soon, but, in the meantime, I'd suggest copying all the exe's and dll's to a separate folder along with EQVerCheck.exe and running it from there as that seems to fix the problem -- no idea why it's crashing, doesn't on any of my systems or the systems I've been personally able to use /shrug.

I'll do some playing around with it though to see if I can nail it with EQVC4.
