Precrastination, maybe?

lol you guys are funny.

You guys can tell him "the search function is your friend", but that doesn't answer his question. Makes you sound like a lot of the people from EQ2Flames. (I'm sure it was more less a joke)

Anyways...
The UI can not be modded to allow an ingame mp3 player like Winamp to work. The only way we can have something like this is if the devs decide to implement it sometime in the future. It would probably work just like our ingame browser does, that uses the firefox engine.

Also since we're on the subject, it's kind of like how you can't make a notepad mod. It's not like WoW where the devs give all the code to the modders and allow to do whatever they want with it, our devs do not give us the proper tools to make these things.

Sometimes, I see a question that I have a (snarky) answer to, and I start to reply. About halfway through I recognize that my answer doesn't really shed any light on the situation and might make the original poster feel bad that they ever posted in the first place. As I'd rather see the crop of regular posters grow, I either rewrite my answer or scrap it altogether.

I know that there are questions that have been asked and answered a zillion times. Perhaps we as a community should work on a FAQ that we can direct people to when they ask. Maybe a ui wiki even?

LOL same here, I don't know how many lines of text I have wrote only to delete. But hey I feel better after writing them!

Yea, then they can use it like they use the search function!

I just don't see what the big fascination of having an in-game mp3 player is! If anything, it would just be another draw on the system's resources!

What's so hard about listening to your desired music via....ohh, I don't know.....a stereo perhaps??

What a concept!!

Eh, use linux, then you can have a 2nd X session on the laptop to the right of your main computer and run the MP3 player over there. Has the added feature of not wasting any additional screen space on your eq2 screen.

honestly this has little to do with the original post but eh whatever hehe

Back in EQ1 they had a way to play music thru the game, why couldnt they do something similiar in EQ2? probably been brought a quadillion times on the eq2 forums but like i said, eh whatever
