Mmm... screen is a nice idea. I could put it into POLManager v0.0.4 if you don't mind me stealing your suggestion

The script *cheats* a bit... it should really be fixed. Basically it counts the number of .src and the number of .ecl. If they're equal, then all is OK, else if there are more .src than .ecl the error is shown. It doesn't consider disabled packages and such... I'm sorry for the lack of support but I...

Hi all, just back from a four-day vacation! I don't like prompting on linux (it's a way of use issue) I half-agree with you. I love *nix tools because of the simplicity and the capability ( like being used in a script or their output being piped ), but having a sort of control panel where you can wa...

The new, shiny and feature-plenty StartHere.sh v0.0.2 is out there! It's still a work in progress, so there will be bugs ( and incomplete features ) even if I tested it enough. Ok, here's the new features: - Interface rewritten. Now is a bit more clear and "interactive". For example, items...

StartHere.sh just updated Try the new version.

Oh, and if you prefer the .bat version, could you please point up why? Any suggestion is always appreciated

Mono is capable of running most .net apps under linux.

I always ran POL under linux in about 5 years or more and it's rock solid. I find it easier to run it if resident in a remote server ( the StartHere.sh script can be run from a screen terminal ). Oh, I'm updating the StartHere.sh to accomodate more and more functions ( it will have the same function...

A friend of mine, an oldtimer UO player, a month or two ago told me he wanted to start up a small POL shard, just for the fun of running it. He downloaded the latest core and distro. He compiled up all the scripts and then launched up the server. Upon entering it he started exploring. World was almo...

A webcam can send a video stream via various ports, depending on the software used.
Could you give a little more information about what exactly you need to do? Parental control over web sites?

For ncrsn:
"display: absolute" is not valid CSS. You should use "position: absolute", instead.

That should do, I think:

I gave a quick look at your site, but can't seem to find what's wrong.
I use Firefox 3.x on Gentoo Linux, can you explain your problem better?

Yes, in linux ( and other operating systems, too ) "FileName" is different than "FILENAME" or "filename", so POL will likely give out errors.

Simply rename the files and all will work right fine.

I understand that your POL runs fine, then you shut it down to change something withing the scripts and when you restart POL it spits out the error.
If this is the case it may have something to do with socket listen() timeout... if you wait 60 or more seconds then POL is capable of starting again?

Mmm... could it be a client/encryption mismatch with the server?
Client version are you using?

Yes, but for your POL server to open the port 3958 at my.local.uo.shard, you should put 3958 in servers, and not 8080, I think. Did you try?

I have a redirect trough a router, too, using port 2593 externally and 9999 internally, and I have 9999 in my servers.cfg.

Mmm did you try to put port 3958 in server details?
I'm just guessing, because I don't know inner workings of POL, but if you specify 8080 there, then POL will try to open a listen socket to port 8080, but you are redirecting *to* 3958 *from* 8080

Great!

I'm at your disposal if there's something to add or modify

Ahem... a moderator can please move that in the feature suggestions forum? Thanks!

Perhaps... try making it CamelCased.
instead of

There's something I can do to eventually help with this? I could program and/or test with detailed reports. Core is still closed source, right?

Oh, and should we move this post to "Feature Suggestions", maybe?

Yes, something like child objects... it might save time to the developer, too. Think about changing a single thing that should be updated in all or most doors, or maybe armors, weapons ( most of these items have the same props and scripts, they just have different graphics and a few stats )... it se...

I was wondering if it's possible ( or if it would be without too much trouble ) to use some sort of pseudo-class mechanism in config files. Let me explain better. There are cfg files such as npcdesc and itemdesc that often contains many similar entries, for example doors, lights, etc. Every entry ha...

Mmm maybe I'll implement it using the brush, too.
Thanks for the suggestion

Hi, I'm trying to make a sample script applied to an object that when activate will tie or untie long hairs. If you have "long hairs" and double click this obj, your hairs will become "pony tail" and the object will disappear. Now, to return to the "long hairs" state an...
