Updating problem POL96-POL99

[blckfire]

So, I'm running into a problem while trying to update an old shard to POL99.

A few scripts, not all, say that they can't compile the uo module, any ideas why this happens?

What is the exact error message? Are you certain that you are using the newer versions of all of the files (ecompile, modules, etc...)? Going from 096 to 099 is a very big undertaking that may require you to rethink many portions of your scripts due to all of the core changes.

I can confirm that upgrading from POL096 to POL099 is quite a pain in the a**
Maybe the error come from the fact that you have functions in your script with the same name as functions now in uo.em

PS what shard are you trying to update?

So, what I'm trying to do now is to go script by script and redo what needs to be redone, also fix includes and remove the use of deprecated/obsolete functions.

It's a painful process but I think it's the best way to do it, in this case.

I had a similar issue and it was related to couple of scripts re-defining a POL core uo.em function, PlaySound() if I can remember right.
