Lore
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
patchmeargument requirement for launching the client. - Window Title (off by default) — renames windows Client1/Client2/... for multiboxing macro tools.
/cbzcommand — 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):
- solar984/eqclientmod-rof2 — the winmm proxy framework and baseline modules. Unlicense. CBZ is a direct fork.
- CoastalRedwood/Zeal — MIT. Design inspiration. No source code reuse (Zeal targets TAKP, CBZ targets RoF2).
- macroquest/eqlib (emu-rof2) — GPL-2.0, vendored as submodule. Provides RoF2 struct offsets for future modules.
See the repo's ATTRIBUTION.md for the full thanks.
Install
- Download
cbz-vX.Y.Z.zipfrom the releases page (once published). - Unzip into the folder containing
eqgame.exe— the same folder as the Crushbone client. - First launch generates
cbz.ini. - 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.
