where is the include files?

[Stephan]

I downloaded the 097 core and that Official 097 Distro. I try to compile it but it gives me compilation errors

[OldnGrey]

Is there a string.inc in the pol097\scripts\include directory?
It is looking for that file.

[Stephan]

The Distro didnt come with a script/include directory

[OldnGrey]

The 097 distro comes with the boat package and the scripts\include\ directory and files.

But it doesn't sound like you are using the distro. Are you sure you didn't just download the basic 097 system that only supports walking around? It came with almost no scripts at all and you couldn't just add the boat package to that and have it work without finding the files it depends on that live in other directories.

I downloaded the big one with skills and everything:

http://releases.polserver.com/Distro/097/097-Official.zip

[OldnGrey]

It does come with the scripts\include\string.inc

Check:

'/home/stephan/POL097/scripts/include/string.inc'

Is this the only package that won't compile?

[Stephan]

Ha, awsome, it works, but now I get another error when generating the config files:

[OldnGrey]

Are you using the batch files that come with the distro? In particular the starthere.bat file.

I've found them so useful that I use them on my own shard, and it isn't even distro based!

I assume you are going through the realmgen menu and have generated the cfg files. In particular, option "a" which builds the multi.cfg file.

When you've run it, check for the:
'/home/stephan/POL097/config/multis.cfg'
file and open it to check what multis have been defined.
Mine don't have those multis defined that you report as errors.

Step back and check what files you have in the pol097\mul directory, that the multi.mul and multi.idx are correct.

Those multi numbers are not defined on my shard so are you using non standard multi.mul and multi.idx?

[Stephan]

Got it working. Just took the Distro that I got compiled on windows and copied the linux executables and it works. Where would I start fiddling around to make chars running faster?

[Yukiko]

Character speed is hardwired into the client as I understand it. There isn't really any way to set a runspeed for a character. You can send a packet to the client that causes your character to move at the speed they would if mounted but that's about all you really can do.
