thanks for all your help... but we've decided on sticking with our original plan of fixing what we've got and then moving up... As Velasca said we're still looking for a teacher to teach us or help us out.

Other than that I'm going back to what I do best and that's building.

it runs and closes I don't get a chance to look.

Is there somewhere else I should be looking for errors? That's the only error that comes up.

I removed that file and recompiled.. and it didn't work.

now I get this...

Warning! pkg/character/regen.ecl does not exist!
Exception caught while loading script pkg/character/regen.ecl: Unable to open pkg/character/regen.ecl for reading.

well... I *think* I fixed the other errors... but I have a new one now.

Error loading script pkg/character/regen.ecl: Recompile required. Bad version number 3

It would seem I had duplicates so I deleted them all from the pkg/hooks file... now it says it that... Should I have removed it from pkg/character?

*blushes* I'm sorry.... I thought I had removed it from that one. Must of been from the other one.

Thanks though

Which file do I take it out of? I believe I tried that and pol still wouldn't start.

In my start.log I get the following error. Not sure how to fix it.

Error reading configuration file pkg/foundations/hooks//attributes.cfg:

How do I have the server recognize our map? The map files are in my uo folder, however when I log in, I see the osi map and parts of buildings.

Also, if I remove all the regions from the spawner, will it kill out all the spawns?

oh.... well that would take up lots of room... from what I understand nearly all the scripts I have need to be updated.

Ok.. I will need to go through everything and figure out what's what.

Thanks!

Now that I've got it up and running, how do I add scripts? I know some of them will need to be updated.

I tried adding a new script, and recompile but nothing happened.

Is there instructions for this step?

alright thanks, you all have been helpful.

I was able to log in. I forgot to change the "none" in the pol.cfg to the client #.

Yet another side note, recompiling all stuff can be done using ecompile with f-flag ("ecompile -f"), which forces the operation even when source file itself hasn't changed. It's often faster than searching and deleting every .ecl file.

Thanks :) There wasn't really all that much in there since I ...

that worked thanks!

I missed reading that part in the how to document.

I know pol closed.. but this is what the pol log says.

well in the start.log i have no errors and it says pol is running... however I don't see the pol program running. Help?

** think I fixed this **

I posted in the channel and I tried to reinstall pol95 and I still received the same error. I tried to follow the steps and ecompiled and all it does is flash and close. I'm sure I'm not doing something right.

any help is appreciated.

I backed up all my old pol files and reinstalled the distro for 095 and copied the new 096 over it like it said to do. I pointed everything in the correct place ie: uo folder and client, ip and all that...

I created britania and pol doesn't run.. when I try to run the backed up stuff it works.

I ...

I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to "study". Not everyone is going to understand what those documents mean at first glance. And no one would be teaching me to script from scratch, since I already know some basic stuff.

But thanks for your input.

so what your saying... is no one wants to take the time to teach other people? That seems kind of strange.

And if one doesn't understand what they're reading, and no one is willing to explain it, then there isn't any point in reading on because the reader will loose interest since they can't ...

If you don't learn by reading, you can't learn stuff alone, and I doubt you're going to get someone to teach you eScript.

That doesn't sound very positive... People learn in different ways... And not everyone learns the same way.

but I will read through everything and see what happens

Thanks
