Hello,
has somebody knowledge about older UO versions and the mapx.mul files provided with it?
We use at this time UO 5.06a, and this version has no map1.mul, no staidx1.mul and no statics1.mul. All the missing data are used from map0.mul, statidx0.mul and statics0.mul. But there are different patch files for map1, mapdif1.mul, and the same for statics1.
So for map1 and statics1 one just reads map0.mul and statics0.mul, but applies the diffs from the files for map1 and statics1.
My question: Does somebody know, when this started? I know for sure, that it ended with UO 6.x, where a map1.mul and statics1.mul exist.
But when did it start, that is with which version did it start? I would assume that it started with the introduction of britannia_alt, i.e. with map 1. Does somebody know with which version this happened?
I am working on an older version of Hotrides custom UO client, and it does this wrong, it just ignores the missing map1, and seems to silently use map0, but this way the map patches for map1 are ignored too. I am now fixing this, and would like to know from which version this trick was used. I know it ended with version 6+.
Thank you
OWHorus

Looks like it started with patch Win32_UO_Gold_94 3-0-5E as this was first patch that had these files:
and all ended in Win32_UO_Gold_208 6-0-0 as this was first patch with map1.mul in it

Thank you, this was what I needed: I will enable this 'trick' for all clients from 3.x (SE) up to client 6.x.

Re: Question about maps (map0.mul,...) and UO versions
Sorry for really late answer but the map1 ( Trammel ) was released together with UO Reneissance expansion.
So according to https://www.uoguide.com/List_of_Classic_Client_Patches it should be "2.0.0 - April 18, 2000 - Renaissance"
And the separate map1 and statics1 files were added with 6.0.0 iirc
