A simple way of not worring about the patcher overwrting any files you edited is to make a backup of the original files first, save it/them in a separate folder and just switch out your modded files with the original files before you run the patcher and then switch back.

But, if there is no patch scheduled just do what other's have posted above, use the exe file that bypasses the patcher to launch the game.

That was exactly what I meant with my last post.

Did Dreww just say that everything I say is possibly true or possibly a lie? I think self ownage is more than a possibility

nope. the patcher is only needed if there are some major changes to the client itself, so the client gets a new version number. no version change = able to log in. although LoN will boot you as there seem to almost daily updates... but well who cares about LoN

about topic... before you even try to change some models/textures, you should find a way to repack files into the .vpl beforehand... or enabling some debug-mode in the client, enabling you to leave the files unpacked in the correct directory structure in the eq2-folder... if this is even possible, which i dunno
