Running UO:SA Client version 7.0 build 3.0.0.122 on POL099
Hello People,
I would like to share the information I have with those who want to run the (in my opinion) excellent Stygian Abyss client on POL.
I can only speak in terms of POL099 as that is what I have very recently converted my POL096.7 scriptbase to.
I do have a couple of snags which I hope someone out there may have a suggestion for me. I hope this is the correct thread into which to post to.
Generating the realm files.
Ok, to start with, I stopped trying to generate the realms files with the MULs and IDXs of the UO:SA client.
When I ran uoconvert, it threw-up errors about "illegal graphic 0xxxx at location xxxx yyyy zzz". The graphic values reported as errors where everything above 0x3fff
I expected this, seeing as POL only allows max up to 0x3fff. I had even set the flag MaxTileID=0x7FFF in the POL.CFG file. It seems uoconvert does not see this when the conversion runs.
I used the MULs and IDXs from UO:ML client 6.0.1.7 (because that is what my live shard still uses, clients on live shard are also 6.0.1.7)
My uoconvert.cfg is straight-forward, I generate all the realms (except Ter Mur of course)
uoconvert.bat
Code: Select all
uoconvert multis
copy multis.cfg config
uoconvert tiles
copy tiles.cfg config
uoconvert landtiles
copy landtiles.cfg config
uoconvert map realm=britannia mapid=0 usedif=1 width=7168 height=4096
uoconvert statics realm=britannia
uoconvert maptile realm=britannia
uoconvert map realm=britannia_alt mapid=1 usedif=1 width=7168 height=4096
uoconvert statics realm=britannia_alt
uoconvert maptile realm=britannia_alt
uoconvert map realm=ilshenar mapid=2 usedif=1 width=2304 height=1600
uoconvert statics realm=ilshenar
uoconvert maptile realm=ilshenar
uoconvert map realm=malas mapid=3 usedif=1 width=2560 height=2048
uoconvert statics realm=malas
uoconvert maptile realm=malas
uoconvert map realm=tokuno mapid=4 usedif=1 width=1448 height=1448
uoconvert statics realm=tokuno
uoconvert maptile realm=tokuno
Ok so, that generated the necessary \realms files for facets britannia, britannia_alt, ilshenar, malas, tokuno
I have these settings in the servspecopt.cfg file :
servspecopt.cfg
Code: Select all
DefaultDoubleclickRange=2
MovementUsesStamina=1
AllowSecureTradingInWarMode=0
TotalStatsAtCreation=65,80,90-95,100
DefaultDecayTime=10
DefaultContainerMaxItems=250
DefaultContainerMaxWeight=60000
HiddenTurnsCount=1
MaxPathFindRange=50
ItemColorMask=0x4FFF
DefaultLightLevel=8
InvulTag=1
CharacterSlots=6
UOFeatureEnable=0x1e0
The UOFeatureEnable=0x1e0 is the one I am not 100% sure about, if it is the correct bitset for UO:SA. Thing is, it works the best so far of any of the other combinations. All of the spellbooks are in and accessible and useable. All in UO:SA "2.5D" (Looks like a better version of the old 3D)
My POL.CFG is standard and it points to the data files belonging to the UO:ML 6.0.1.7 client. I just copied them into a subdirectory C:\pol099\6017Muls
so the setting is
UoDataFileRoot=C:\pol099\6017Muls\
I could not get Razor to run the UO:SA 2.5D client, which is the one I want to use, so I got a hold of a launcher for UO:SA which runs it fine. The launcher also optionally creates a patched, stand-alone client file which you run directly. If there is anyone needing this launcher, pm me in the POL forums. I am not sure if it would be allowed to put the link for it here, seeing as it is not mine, but it is free.
Troubles
Gumps.
Here then is where I need some help. SendDialogGump works 100%, no problem with those gumps at all. In fact, they look even better in UO:SA
However, CreateMenu does not work, nothing comes up. Banks work, NPC Vendor menus work. I just cannot get CreateMenu to work and I need that to work badly, as all my crafting menus use CreateMenu, SelectMenuItem2 extensively and I do not have the time to rewrite all of those. Any ideas on what I can do or will this be something that needs fixing in a later core ?
Tooltips.
I was running the Megacliloc package just fine under POL096.7 with client UO:ML 6.0.1.7
With UO:SA and POL099, I have to disable the package otherwise UO:SA client crashes directly after login.
I would really like to have the Megacliloc package back, if anyone has a solution for this please.
My logon script sets
acctref.set_uo_expansion("SA") That runs on logon. I send no additional packets to the client on logon, am I doing this right in these conditions ?
GM Character
It seems that no matter what privileges I enable or disable, any staff character with cmdlevel > 1 can automatically move items which are set to be non-movable. Doors, forges, anvils, anything. I initially had all these privs set :
Privs all clotheany dblclickany equipany freemove hearghosts ignoredoors invul losany seeghosts seehidden seeinvisitems
Settings all clotheany dblclickany desolation equipany freemove hearghosts ignoredoors invul losany seeghosts seehidden seeinvisitems
Which I then changed to :
Privs equipany hearghosts invul seeghosts seehidden
Settings equipany hearghosts invul seeghosts seehidden
Still I am able to (as test cmdlevel with the above settings) move any object which I have explicitly locked-down, set non-movable, simply by clicking on it once and picking it up.
Other than that, everything else works and it all works well. I even have particle effects working well.
Any input on my above issues is greatly apprecited.
Yours sincerely,
Justae
