Xanax’s Checklist for Installing Zeal

This checklist provides a summarized version of the steps required to install Zeal for Project Quarm. For detailed instructions, refer to the Installing Zeal Guide.

Prerequisites

  1. Enable Sound in eqclient.ini
    • Ensure Sound=TRUE is listed in your eqclient.ini. Zeal requires sound to be enabled to function properly.
  2. Exclude TAKP Installation from Antivirus Scanning
    • Exclude your TAKP folder from antivirus scans to reduce load times and prevent stuttering. Follow the detailed instructions.

Installation

  1. Download and Extract Zeal
    • Visit the Zeal GitHub Releases page. Click “Assets” and select the latest Zeal.v#####.zip file to download.
    • Extract the Zeal.asi and Zeal.pdb files to the root of your TAKP folder.
    • Extract EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml to your /uifiles/duxaUI/ folder or whichever UI folder you have set in your eqclient.ini.
  2. UI Files for Zeal
  3. Verify Zeal Installation
    • Log into the game and type /zeal version to check the version number.
    • Use /help zeal to see the list of available commands.

Crash Reports

If your game crashes, Zeal will create a folder in the root of your TAKP installation folder called /crashes/ with crash reports in this format 2024-06-28_08-54-56.zip. You can upload these to the official discord’s #zeal-discussions and the team will try to identify the cause of the crashes to provide the community with a resolution.
