Well, it is important to remedy the sysload if it is constantly at 70-80% because then your shard is vulnerable to lagging. How you fix it depends entirely on what scripts are processing the most instructions. If it's AI that is consistently running a high amount of instructions, maybe you have to l...

Not sure if that has anything to do with skillgain or not. This depends entirely on your scriptbase so a start would be to tell us what scriptbase you're using.

Really it depends on how much you're using this member and this item. Sure it's slower than GetObjProperty() (but really, this isn't noticeable unless you want to do it a thousand times per second) but if you set a custom CProp, just remember, a CProp takes more memory since it has to be stored in m...

I believe Austin elaborated on this before when they initially branched off uo.em into multiple .em files. I believe it had something to do with making POL faster since it didn't have to search through as many functions to find the specific core function you're running. Although with how powerful co...

Its true that it makes life easier to add stuff like that into .em files but if/when the .em files changes you have to modify them manually. We could add a custom.em without any hardcoded constants or core functions to be a file to use instead of includes I know its still a bit of an old topic. Hop...

'use' shouldn't be used in includes. Only in sources. It drives me insane to see a 'use x;' in a .inc file.

Been a while since I've been around so I'm catching up. Just something to say from experience, once your shard is running and people are logging in, do NOT leave the setting: AssertionFailureAction=continue This can cause gigantic problems while your shard is running because even though its set to c...

Depends entirely on what scriptbase you use. You can create and remove commands as you please. Search your POL path for any folders named txtcmd or commands. Inside those folders are folders that correspond to the cmdlevel (player, counselor, seer, gm, admin, dev/test). Each .ecl file in those folde...

I actually think that's why I stopped at 4.0.3c with the CPU fixed clients. Although I think in 4.0.5 they implemented a better CPU fix.

Found it. I'm not sure why (probably packet changes), you need Razor to log in with anything beyond 4.0.4 with POL 095.

Do any of the clients on my site work? I do have manual patches available up to a certain point which should at least make those clients work. www.cwo333.com/clients www.cwo333.com/patch Obviously don't use the login.cfg that comes with them. I only put that in there to stop people from hotlinking. ...

I haven't been around on the client scene in a long time so I'm a bit out of practice... a few things I would point to right away UOClient.cfg EnableFlowControlPackets=0 and how far is your UO install patched? If its not patched as far as the client or too far beyond the client version, it could als...

What's happening is Too many parameters passed to ReportText So the line ReportText( "SYSTEM: Fantasia Shard is restarting in "+countdown+" minutes.", REPORT_BROADCAST, 33 ); is passing too many parameters. Try to find function ReportText somewhere in worldSaver.src, saver.inc, o...

By default, POL doesn't do this. It is possible to do but it would require everyone who wants to support it to have a packet hook script installed to listen for your program and respond accordingly.

Thats exactly why I asked. I figured ecompile.cfg was pointing to the wrong folders.

What folder is POL in? Also, what does your ecompile.cfg have in it? Did you try opening a command prompt and doing

*toots his own horn* You were probably reading my performance guide A runaway script is a script that has gone x amount of instructions without a sleep, sleepms, or wait_for_event. x is defined in pol.cfg as RunawayScriptThreshold defaulting to 5000. I don't suggest setting it any higher than defaul...

As far as I know, seasons are handled by the client itself using the season packet 0xBC http://docs.polserver.com/packets/index.php?Packet=0xBC

Well, that's how I fixed lights on my server. I just changed the facing member to the correct looking one and they worked fine after that.

change the facing member of the lanterns (item.facing). To see all of the numbers available and what they do, use UOFiddler and look at the light tab.

Remember in many cases the client will restrict this also so it wouldn't matter what the server is saying.

'Authorization Code is not given yet.'

The errors you posted shouldn't really be a problem. I believe the spawner should be able to figure them out.

Added IPMatch to gundamwing's suggested config so it doesn't broadcast out to everyone.

I had this happen once where if someone entered a region, the client crashed and they couldn't log back in while in that region. In my case, it was on a test shard that didn't have all of the scripts ready yet and in regions.cfg I had an EnterScript for that region that didn't exist yet. In my case,...

I think that error is usually thrown when you're using a reserved name for a function although I see no use of any reserved words in your script... What I would do is comment one line at a time inside XGFError and seeing if/when the error disappears. The compiler seems to be getting confused somewhe...
