Re: Core error message - what does it mean, what triggers it?

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 :)

Core error message - what does it mean, what triggers it?

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...

Re: Change request for POL Core regarding player passwords

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. ...

Change request for POL Core regarding player passwords

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...

Question about maps (map0.mul,...) and UO versions

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...

So problem solved. A short comment: I was unable to find a list of all the privileges in the documentation? Maybe I...

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...

UOFiddler and UO Versions 7+

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,

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.
