Thank you - it is quite rare, but most often seen with a player who is known to use a lot of macros.

Since it happens during Dungeon tours, he is probably hammering the keyboard

Hello, We are using POL 0.99 Release. From time to time I see the following error message in the logs Character <serial> tried to drop item <serial>, but had not gotten an item. It seems to be harmless, and is triggered by various players. Sometimes the message repeats over 2-3 seconds multiple time...

Yes, what I have to do to fix this: In my SQL-DB I have the 'correct' Account Names (i.e. with original upper/lower case letters). I need to search the correct name regardless of upper/lower case, then use the name in the DB to replace the entered name, then the generation of the hash will succeed. ...

Hello, there is one thing I should have reported long before, but better late than never... POL gives the option to store MD5 hash strings only in accounts.txt or optional to retain the clear text passwords. (We use the latter, btw.) But regardless what you use, the MD5 hashes are correct - and unus...

Thank you, this was what I needed: I will enable this 'trick' for all clients from 3.x (SE) up to client 6.x.

Hello, has somebody knowledge about older UO versions and the mapx.mul files provided with it? We use at this time UO 5.06a, and this version has no map1.mul, no staidx1.mul and no statics1.mul. All the missing data are used from map0.mul, statidx0.mul and statics0.mul. But there are different patch...

Thank you.

Probably I am going blind....

Have to answer myself :) It is true, that Mega-Clilocs are not shown with .startlog/stoplog! But if I enable the privilege 'plogany' for my character, they suddenly show up in the log. So problem solved. A short comment: I was unable to find a list of all the privileges in the documentation? Maybe I...

Hello, just tried to find out how our client (5.0.6a) and POL 0.99 release negotiate things, when the player walks toward a mobile. I am on GA, all empty, one named NPC with equipment stands there and player walks from higher distance (>40 tiles) toward the NPC. I am in GM mode, i.e. can see invisib...

Not exactly 'outstanding core issues', but here my build experiences with POL-0.99, official release: 1) Fetched POL-0.99 with GIT, not using the HEAD release (which is POL 1.00), but the POL-0.99 branch, I hope this was intended? It works fine, on Windows and on Debian 8.0, and it includes the late...

Hello, i heard of a special feature, where a player can avoid going through the login process if he wishes to select another character. Supposedly it works this way: The player uses a command, this logs off his current character and puts him to the clients character selection menu. There he can sele...

Hello, as I said I posted a request to the author (posted at August, 23rd 2017) - but no answer. The source code is quite old, and the author probably no longer active. Since the author put his code on the RunUO community for download and the code was also on Google Code (the author says so), I thin...

;) I think, what Turley means is, that all the sources are marked as his, except one: The plugin consists of the plugin template files (Turleys), and one source file 'converter.cs'. This file has no author comments at all. I can try to reach the poster of the sources. OWHorus Edit: I just contacted ...

Hello, another question: Newer versions of UO have the new format .uop. AFAIK you need to convert the .uop files into .mul files and then you can use UOFiddler to patch them. Afterwards you convert them back to .uop format. Correct? I played around a bit with this, since somebody (at RunUO, I think)...

Hello, so - installed VS 2015. Not the community version, but from CD, cannot download 23 GB (minimum download for VS 2017 community according to M$!!) for this. Except the hassle with 'signing' (create either test cert or switch it off) it built fine. I turned it off. But the result seems peculiar ...

Hello, I just pulled the entire PolTools tree from GIT, and tried to build UOFiddler with VS 2013 (Visual C# 2013). Opening the solution in UOFiddler and trying to build brought up two errors. One was for the certificate signing, and I switched this off. The error disappeared. The build order seems ...

Hello,

the only thing I can say is: WAH!



I was not aware that UOFiddler also is on GIT. Just found it, after reading your post.

Will check it and report ASAP.

Thank you

Hello, I looked into the SVN archive, and into my archive of old files. I found a version 4.4 of UOFiddler, and it saves with the smaller size. So problem solved - in a way, since it is an older version. I hope that this one function (replacing just the image for an art tile) does work! I could not ...

Hello Yukiko, I did not see your post, but you describe exactly the same problem. I am sure (did not yet try it) that the new (bigger) file will work. But it is unnecessary big, and this is a problem. I could be the run length encoding (done for all item tiles, not for ground tiles). I looked into t...

Hello, subject says it all: I have an art.mul file (Client v5, UO-ML, already changed a bit, but similar size like original) and want to change an item picture. When I extract the picture, it is a BMP format. My new picture has the exact dimensions and the format of the old picture. Using UOFiddler ...

Hello,

you need to install the 'cmake' tool.

First read here - instructions: https://github.com/polserver/polserver

Then look into your Linux-Distro and install Cmake - then try again.

Hello, just an idea: POL changed the mode how spellbooks are filled - but years before. If the scripts are old, maybe this is the problem? See this entry from core-changes: 09-18-2009 MuadDib: Removed: Storing scrolls inside spellbooks. Destroyed after insert is complete. Changed: Pre-AOS Clients st...

Hello, something happened to the POL documentation pages. Some work, but most of the show this error: You are using a fallback implementation of the intl extension. Installing the native one is highly recommended instead. /home/polteam/forums.polserver.com/vendor/patchwork/utf8/src/Patchwork/Utf8/Bo...

Hello, just saw, that the new entry (from 11-09-2011, not brand new :-) ) is not documented in POL docu (CFg-Files/itemdesc/door). It is documented in core-changes.txt. What is unclear: Is the entry only needed in the closed variants of every door, or in the opened variants too? Example: wooden door...

Yes, I get it, I think :-) I will try to change it all to serials (which as integers can be stored in a dictionary). Normally a certain NPC (at this time referred to with a MobRef) can easily removed from a dictionary, but not from an array, because I need to search for it, determine the index and e...
