CBZ — Crushbone Zeal

The server's open-source RoF2 client QoL mod. Zeal-inspired, solar984-forked, attribution-first.

CBZ (Crushbone Zeal) is Crushbone's own client-side quality-of-life mod for the RoF2 EverQuest client. It sits spiritually alongside Zeal (which targets the TAKP client family) as the "Zeal slot for RoF2."

What CBZ does

  • CPU High Speed Fix — stops the game clock from overflowing on CPUs faster than 4.2 GHz. Apple Silicon Macs running under CrossOver/GPTK specifically benefit.
  • Disable Gamma Change — prevents the in-game gamma slider from stomping your desktop gamma on exit or crash.
  • Program Launch — removes the patchme argument requirement for launching the client.
  • Window Title (off by default) — renames windows Client1/Client2/... for multiboxing macro tools.
  • /cbz command — shows version info and module status.

What CBZ does NOT do

  • Not MacroQuest. No AFK farming, auto-combat, warp, or speedhack.
  • No plugin loader for third-party DLLs.
  • No server/client protocol tampering.

Every module is toggleable in cbz.ini. Default-off unless baseline-critical.

Open source

CBZ is open source under MIT (with upstream licenses preserved on inherited files):

Install

  1. Download cbz-vX.Y.Z.zip from the releases page (once published).
  2. Unzip into the folder containing eqgame.exe — the same folder as the Crushbone client.
  3. First launch generates cbz.ini.
  4. Adjust module toggles as needed and relaunch.

Uninstall: delete winmm.dll and cbz.ini.

Status

v0.1.0 — baseline. Functional parity with the shipping winmm.dll (solar984 build SOLAR_ROF2_20250829), rebranded as CBZ. Future phases add integrated map, nameplate enhancements, raidbars, autofire, and lootall. See the project roadmap.
