mp3 player/winamp etc

damageps · #1 02-18-2005, 10:37 PM

I could have sworn I saw this somewhere, searched the forums using the search tool though and havent seen it.

I dont know if its possible directly but I know it is possible with typical programming, anyway, I'd love to see a simple interface or something to play and listen to mp3's while in game.

the official line is something like 'we will never ever do stuff like an mp3 player because eq2 has a functional windowed mode'.

So you'll have to just settle with winamp and one of the mute buttons mods. I want an in game mp3 player too =( lots of people do.

Just use ALT-Enter and use your favorite MP3 application to play them back. Currently there is no way to add an mp3 window to EQ2 with out using a 3rd party program that violates the EULA.

The reason SOE has one in EQ1 is when they added it you could not ALT-TAB out of the game to prevent memory hacking apps.

That program appears to hook into a running EQ2 - this is an EULA violation.

Well, EULA violation or not - you can't really blame people for taking matters into their own hands. The community have been pleading and crying for an MP3 player since launch. I can't seriously believe it would take some clever developer more than a day or two to throw something together. Just do it, for crying out loud hehe. If nothing else to shut people up and help them *not* violate the EULA.

So far, I've been too busy to try, but it seems that it might be possible to write a seperate program outside of EQ2 that controls winamp or media player and is accessed via a web server and the in-game Inventory.HTML page.

That's the only way I can think of to do it without hooking directly into the game client and violating the EULA. Not even sure if that would be feasible, but it's a possibility.
