MulitMap.rle stuff is completed, so i think next week you can save your money instead of buying aspirin. :)
Btw nice challenge breaking down the rle format.
Almost forgot skills.mul is there something interesting? Never looked at it since my shard uses a custom skillgump.

I use a custom skillwin too, but if you want custom skill names etc you end up having to hack the client to not send skillgain messages or you put up with the wrong skill name being displayed.

MuadDib did an interesting forum article a while back explaining how to hack and slash the client skills names etc.
http://forums.polserver.com/viewtopic.p ... .mul#p5424

But if there's nothing of value in skills.mul for UOViewer then don't stress about it, but I suspect there is a whole bunch of things you can view in mul files we haven't found yet. Strike while the iron is hot while you still have the interest in coding it for us! What other mul files can we snoop around in I wonder?

Turley, no one can complain about this wonderful tool and the work you've done on it.
Thanks.

I am curious what the problem is with adding editing to it?

As for features did you ever get the export items data to CSV file done? I had mentioned that in an earlier post as a feature my son thought might be useful.

Right now Im working on the cliloc editing feature (editing and saving is working, but I have some problems with a filter feature).
Ah the export to .csv I knew I wanted to add something else. :)

Cliloc editor, oh goody!
I have tried to get the other cliloc editors to run on my machine but they either crash or don't work at all.

Thanks again Turley.

I hit "Save" on the Cliloc tab after editing a bunch of entries. It didn't save, and I got this error:

Hehe I was 99% sure that the first posting would be a crash. :)
But damn after a few senseless hits and clicks I get always "Cliloc saved to ..."
Edited in the table, edited over the extra window, with saving and without... :(

Hm. I didn't use the popup editor, only the in-line editor, and I modified one existing entry, and I wrote-in over blank ones (3006166, for example).

*edit*

I just re-did all the modifications, and this time I got the "Saved" message. :)

Features I'd like to see added

Post by Yukiko »

Turley, first let me say WOW!
Thank you for the new things you've added to Turley's UOViewer.
This is really becoming the Ultimate Ultima Tool!

I haven't had time to test the new stuff yet but it looks very nice.
I love the new "Start" screen too.

I hate to ask for more work from you but I was trying to add furrows to a map I am editing with Punts WorldMaker and so I loaded up Turley's UOViewer to search for the landtile I need since Punts stuff only lists numbers for item/tile references. I found there's no "search" function for landtiles or textures. Would that be hard to add? Also, it might be handy to have a search capability in the sounds and tiledata editing area as well.

I want to thank you again Turley for your hard work and willingness to try to fulfill our requests.

Fine I just wanted to write a posting asking what to add next. :)
Nice to hear that the work is not senseless, should be no problem to add some more search functions.

It's not often we are in the right place at the right time to be able to twist the arm of a developer and get something we've always wanted!

I can't thank you enough for this Turley.

I have another crash report for 2.0e. Apparently, if you don't have any registry entries for UO at all (I have a folder that I distribute for my shard with no installer needed since you don't need reg entries anymore) the program will do a standard crash with the dialog to send an error report to Microsoft.
