I am told this is due to the tiledata.mul setting for bar parts. in the tiledata.mul file their surface flag is not set.

In the POL root directory, there should be a starthere.bat for Windows users and a starthere.sh for Linux users, and a subdirectory named "batchfiles" that will help with some of the setup. The subdirectory is needed for the main starthere file. If you do not have those two items, you can ...

Ok. It appears resolution is the problem. The strange thing is I added scroll bars to allow for 720p resolution. The scroll bars work on a 720p display from what I have heard but with your notebook, and my remote session, the scroll bars do not work correctly. I need to look at display scaling optio...

I have a similar issue when I use remote desktop to access the POL server machine in my house. I think my issue is the native video resolution on the server machine. Your issue might be related to your video resolution. What is the resolution of your monitor? The Configurator should be compatible wi...

The intention for this forum is for scripters to submit packages or scripts that do not require modifications to be compatible with the Distro. Packages, whenever possible, should be drop-in and go, or "plug and play" if you prefer. Should a package require a special include file, then pla...

Name: enviroeffects Description: This package allows the placement of 5 different types of environmental hazards that will inflict damage upon a character. The hazards are a plume of fire, a plume of gas (non-poisonous), a plume of steam, lightning, and falling rocks. To place a hazard, use the comm...

I have added a new forum under the Official POL Distribution (Distro) section. Contributed Optional Packages and Scripts for the Distro.

If you have written a package or have a script that is written specifically for the Distro that you would like to share, please post it in that forum.

For those who may not be aware, Syzygy is the creator of the Penultimate OnLine emulator, POL.

Thank you Syzygy for the new compiler.

One more thing about testing. Always test with the normal Classic client provided by OSI/Broadsword from uo.com.

The test server is running a special build of the POL Core. This build is a rewrite of the way POL handles movement internally. We need testers to log-in and do movement-related things. So log-in to the server. Auto account creation is enabled. We need testers. I am placing some vendors in or outsid...

Yes, the max stack is 60K but I was hoping to give enough starting gold that testers could buy a multi house and a boat. I will set it to 60K I guess. Maybe the boffins can add functionality to create multiple stacks if StartingGold is > 60,000.

I wanted to give testers on the test server a large sum of gold. So I changed the StartingGold setting in servspecopt.cfg to 100000. When I created a character to test whether that amount would be created, a stack of 34,464 gold coins was created on the character. Obviously far less than 100,000 gol...

This is for any shard developer no matter what emulator you use. I assume because it is posted on the POL forums, if I get any response, it will be mostly POL shard developers but the question is open to RunUO, ServUO, Sphere, or any emulator. From the list below, in order of importance please list ...

At one time, when I was posting releases of the Core on the forums, I tried using Vagrant to setup a Linux VM so I could post Linux releases too. Unfortunately, I wasn't successful. Maybe your update to Vagrant's configuration fixed whatever problems I was encountering back then. Thanks for all the ...

I cannot wait until it is in the main POL 100 build.
Thanks Syzygy.

Hail to the creator!

First, let me say to those of you who might be using the Distro on a live shard, I am sorry. I said I would give you warning before I pushed the housing system change to the Distro repo. I simply forgot. Second, I have created documentation for the new static housing system so that staff can set up ...

Yes. I am definitely looking forward to the guide

That was designed with UO Architect I gather. It looks like you are making good progress.

I am very close to adding a complete refactoring of the multi and static housing systems. I completely separated the static housing from the multi-housing. They are in their own individual packages. The deeds package did not work with both systems before. Now it does. As far as I know from a survey ...

Looks like you are making good progress. Map building is such a tedious process.

Looks like you are off to a great start.

Except for missing the PC and NPC flags you could use ListObjectsInBoxOfClass( POL_Class, x1,y1,z1, x2,y2,z2, realm := _DEFAULT_REALM ) to find characters in a region. With a little extra programming you can filter out PCs from NPCs and vice-versa.

Hmm... I found the client font setting for tooltips but it doesn't change the font either.

Not sure about the scriptability of that. Have you looked at the client font settings? It may be a client setting. That is for speech but it might work for item display.

I am not a big fan of the amount of detail displayed by the megacliloc package. It can be modified to reduce a lot of the detail but I am, once again, with you on this aspect as well. I started playing on a role play shard and a lot of that detail shouldn't be known to a character, at least, until c...
