Isnt other way how to find what should i write in loginserver or tell me what folder and what file should i open ?????//

ok, first of when i open the uorice thing it does not create a 'No_Crypt_Client_2d' also, when i ignore this fact and do everything else accept the copying of verdata.mul because i myself do not have that in the my UO folder, but if i ignore that and open the 'No_Crypt_Client_3d' i cannot logg in under an admin or anything, it simply says i was D/Ced, i am in desperate need of your help, please tell me how to fix this problem as i am trying to set up a privet server for me and some friends to play on,

sincerely: Shanoova.

One thing you need to know is that with the introduction of Age of Shadows there is no longer a verdata.mul file.

My first question is, do you have thge lates version of UO_Rice and have you set the login.cfg file in your UO folder to point to the proper IP and port for your server?

One other thing, be sure UO_Rice is in your UO folder.

omg, lol, i didnt do that i thought that the UO_Rice thing had to be in myshard thing, like the "kirins world thing" ill give that a try

oh and yes i have the mondains legacy Fully up to date to,

uhm yea and one other thing lol, i dont know if i have the newest version of rice, i downloaded it from that link that was there,

this is the error i get,

Thx for using UO-Rice !

Thats the message right there . ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

If you're fully patched, 3.33 wont do it. You need 3.5.

the download is at the bottom of the page.

alright, i downloaded it, and i have downloaded your guy's Newest pol-core-097-2007-01-04-RC2-coregina.zip, i will resintall the game to make sure that i have messed up the game with the other ones i used, i will get back to you guys on it , thanks for the help ^_^

Rename the '097-BasicSetup' folder:
To what you want the name of your shard to be ex. 'Kirins World' .. this is btw NOT a necessary step but it eases the mind and makes it less stressful to take in than '097-BasicSetup'.

Open then 'pol-core-097-2006-10-29-RC-Coregina' folder:
Copy all of the contents of this folder and paste t hem into the now renamed 'Kirins World' folder. It will ask you if you want to replace your 'scripts' folder , say yes. Go ahead and now delete the ever ridiculously named 'pol-core-097-2006-10-29-RC-Coregina' folder, as it has been properly gutted.

Do i make a new file called kirins world? or do i rename that .ZIP file?

also another thing, there is no example.cfg' file, there is a ecompile.cfg.example, if that is the name for the new updated version of your guys's file, is that it?

ok new error, i get this,

Press any key to continue . . .

Any Explenations? im pretty sure i followed the directions correctly i did them all Step By Step,

Welll check the steps once more there is one called: Navigate to and open vitalInit.src:

You need to do some things in there check it...

First, ecompile.cfg.example is the example of the ecompile.cfg file that needs to be in your \pol\scripts folder.

I use \pol as a generic name for the root of whatever folder your shardfiles are in. If you named it 'kirinsworld' then you'd look in \kirinsworld\scripts for the ecompile.cfg file. If there is no ecompile.cfg file then copy the ecompile.cfg.example file and rename it to ecompile.cfg

Now you'll need to edit the file to reflect where your shard files are.

Here is what it would look like if your shardfiles were on your D drive in a root folder named kirinsworld:


After editing and saving the ecompile.cfg file you will want to go to the folder your shard files reside in and look for that batch file named 'starthere.bat' run that and generate all the realms, copy all the mul files, create all the cfg files that it needs to create and then compile the scripts. One caveat when copying the muls over to your shard folder with that batch file. When it asks for the full path to your Ultima directory it is limited to the old style DOS short filenames. So if your UO install is in C:\Program Files\Ultima Online, you'll have to type C:\Progra~1\Ultima~1 for the path to your UO installation or atleast I do.

Make sure you edit the uoclient.cfg file in \pol\pkg\systems\accounts and put your port number in there.



Then I think after you do the compilation (from that vach file) then just be sure your servers.cfg file is setup correctly and you are good to go.

hmm, ok, three last things, how do i set up my server so it lets me choose the samurai and all the other class's?

please be specefic.

where do i Change the stats, starter money, and how do i put NPCS in?

Please if this doesnt make sense to you, let me know and i will refraise it,
ill you think if would be easier just to talk to me over msn about this PLEASE, let me know, and i will PM you my hotmail addrease

alright i followed the guide and when i get to this point

Start StartHere.bat:
In your 'My(kirins) World' folder you'll find a file called 'starthere.bat'. Click it and you'll be presented with a menu select option 'b' and press return. Next, select option 'd' and press return in order to compile all the .src files you just told ecompile to look for. Close this out, you now have the barebones scripts for getting your world started !

I get this response from the starthere.bat

scripts\ecompile.exe is not recognizzed as an internal or external command, operatable program or batch.

compilation complete
press any key to continue...

can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong and how to fix this ? please...

I've tried running the ecompiler.exe it's self and what i get is:

System can not find the specified path...

After speaking with Malia over ICQ I asked her to try putting her shard files in a DOS 8.3 file path compliant directory structure. She has the shard in a path with spaces in the file names and file names longer than 8 charcters. I have experienced problems with the batch file processor in Win XP handling file paths longer than 8 characters.

I have not yet heard back from her yet.

turns out that the length wasn't the issue it didn't want to start the .exe file. this was due to a misplaced script.

I placed the script in the right location restarted the ecompiler following the steps of this guide.

...almost a half a month later, and still no reply?

anyone know a more Active site?

shanoova the POL 0.97 Distro is still in development. A lot of things have not yet been written or are not complete. As for how to setup starting equipment look into the startEquip.cfg in the \pkg\mobiles\newCharacter\config directory.

:S sorry, didnt know that you guys where just starting up, thought you have been around for a while. my bad..

POL has been around for a while. The problem is that the scripts distributed with POL, the "Distro" is undergoing a major rework. The developers decided that with the release of POL 0.96 they would redesign the Distro. The unfortunate thing is that in the meantime newcomers to POL are left "scriptless" because the old POL 0.95 Distro will not work with POL 0.96 and later releases without modifications.

Hopefully, the Distro for 0.97 will get completed soon.

Ok.... So....

After the long wait for 096..... how long did that take?

097 starts....

After reading this thread.... would someone PLEASE tell me where all this info was to be found in the release of pol-core-097-2007-01-04-RC2-Coregina & 097-BasicSetup.

That would give Anyone New to POL
the slightest hint that all this needed to be done just to login to a bare bones shard without the helping hand of the author of this post???

Frankly ... I'm still confused but having been around the block several times.... i do my research and even the begining instructions posted by the author seem flawed but quite helpfull none the less.

First... how would someone new know that




Or that this does not flow as describe unless there have been changes in the structure of how this batch file runs since this was originally posted.



If it has been changed since this was posted please accept my appologies.

But for somone looking to come in and start from scratch??? What good does this do?

I know that 097 is not in release but in testing.

And i also know that in waiting for 096 it's been so long and the time involved to take and update a 095 script set is a bear.

I guess i'm really wondering ... why would i want to bother with all the headaches?

In all reality.... It's been years coming and doing my homework wating for something better.... and i guess i just expected something a bit more.

Lastly, i have done an install of 097 and plan to continue working with it.
I didn't even bother with 096 i'd rather start from scratch. Aside from the forums tho i think more time is needed on Docs.

Guess that's all i really wanted to say... the time involved in finding this info bit by bit is enough do drive the regular person mad.

Thank goodness i'm NOT one of them Regular people.
I guess i'll wait and see what the distro brings.

p.s. Kirin thanx for taking the time for puting this in one place.
Yukiko your information and reply's to most all i have read over
the years are invaluable

Thanx!
