Spell file, THF installer gone?

Hello, recently ran into some problems.. Basically ran the THFPatcher (since there is no longer spell file and installer) to update my Underfoot client.. Well half mobs in forest are human models now.. before running the patcher all was fine (this was about month ago, I only ran patcher to get halloween updates)

So ..... I again copied over all the missing files from Titanium, no go...
So...... I deleted everything started from scratch.

Underfoot with no updates, still shows human models. All items are wierded out (of course with no server files)

Copy all missing files from fresh titanium install... Still human models... Can't find the thfinstaller or spell file can only get THFPatcher... So run that again... downloads 122 files .. Boot up game, still human models, but all custom items are intact.

Swap over to titanium to check if it loads the models... Fresh install no files added shows human models, patch it with THFpatcher, downloads 333 files (maybe 322 cant remember) .. still shows human models.

My question is, if patcher downloads all files needed how can I fix models ?

Looking for copy of SoD to copy files from, may even load the titanium to live to get those files...

So to be clear: A month ago everything was fine, no human models... Ran patcher yesterday to get halloween content most models in forest are human

if it helps... all zone porters human, and sune . Queen Adrianne is in costume, messenger in skell...

Atm, most of the models are different in THF hub zone due to Halloween Costumes. So I think your issue is not patcher related but rather some missing original files from your "fresh" EQ installation.

There is definitely something weird going on with the install you're using. If the installer was overwriting any source asset files, everyone who ran the patcher would be seeing humans. My recommendation would be to find a different install source and try that one out.

Make sure you completely delete the folder prior to installing an new version.

this might be un-related, but yesterday I ran a Hard LDON (mistmoore) and the gargoyles were human.

I've run that plenty of times and they have never been human before. Could just be something to do with the halloween thing.

Would live files work? I've used titanium for missing files for UF since I started playing and had no problems?

Also, Lilu, I appreciate your interest.. However, I think you missed it completely. Previously (maybe 1 month) Everything was good until I ran the patcher (2 days ago) ... Just seems odd ..

It could be that some of the models moved files between clients, I have the same human models using UF and used the live client to replace missing files (I don't mind much though :))

Can you guys give me a file that may have been changed or is missing? I'll look through the index and see if that file or any others that may be related isn't part of the update list.

I'm using stock UF and running the patcher didn't mess anything up at all. Will continue to investigate.

Berem do you have a list of files the patcher looks at? Would the patcher have actually changed the last modified date?
