hi,
i had latest version of pol95 and then replaced files with from the
pol-core-096-2005-12-08.. then i had run the uoconvert.exe.. after
this i got these files in the realm/britannia folder..
Verzeichnis von d:\serveur\pol\096\realm\britannia
[i][b]Reading Configuration.
Loading Realm britannia.
Server Shutdown: loading POL map file
Execution aborted due to: BinaryFile::Open
('realm/britannia/statidx.dat, 0x8) failed.
but the statidx.dat isn't in that folder and it won't create after
converting over converting (did more than 10 times and nothing)..
For britannia, "uoconvert statics realm=britannia" takes the statics file staidx0.mul and statics0.mul to create those \pol\realm\britannia\statics.dat and statidx.dat.
I assume you are running realmgen.bat from the 096 of 097 distro - which converts all 3 types of files - map, statics, and maptile one after the other.
from the realmgen.bat file the relevent lines are:
SET UOCNVRT_PATH=uoconvert.exe
It's that second last line that doesn't seem to be creating the statics files for you. Do you get any console output when you run the uoconvert on the statics or any messages? Are you running uoconvert 3 times or using realmgen.bat?
I have found realmgen.bat to be almost too easy to use to the point that I hardly have to worry about uoconvert syntax and more. If you haven't got realmgen, take a look at the 096 or 097 distro for the pol\batchfiles directory.
