Hello,

I was wondering if someone could point out what I am doing wrong. I compiled the latest 99 core from the svn, and downloaded the distro and Edwards Zulu files. In following the read me, I downloaded UOML and installed. Using the start here.bat, I realm generate all realms. But when I log in I can hardly move 3 or 4 steps and I start getting stuck. I can walk on pure grass, dirt, and cobblestone tiles. almost everything else blocks movement. I am guessing it is a uoconvert issue. I tried using the landtiles and tiles.cfg from the distro, and I tried regenerating them as well. They both generate with errors.

I tried patching all the way to 6-0-10 and regenerated the files, no change.

Any ideas? Should I generate the realm with the unpatched client? Or patch to a certain patch before generating? Anything I can look for in the files?

Thanks

We use a 5.06a client on our shard. Meanwhile we have patched statics, but we went years with the original statics from 5.06a. All versions of uoconvert worked and delivered correct data. So you could try this. Since you downloaded UOML anyway, you only need to reinstall and patch (using the uopatcher directly) up to 5.06a. What you do to the client (patching or not) does not matter as long as only the client.exe is changed.

You should generate the tiles.cfg and landtiles.cfg new using your uoconvert.exe and your UO data. Then you should generate the realms. For this I have a cmd-Window-Batch:
Also check the uoconvert.txt and then the uoconvert.cfg.

After this things should work. If you get errors with uoconvert, then something is fishy. Either your UO installation is not clean (the client-files do not matter for this, but all .mul, .idx and so on), or your compile went wrong. I had this once, when I accidentally started the wrong Solution-File with the wrong version. So refetch from svn and compile again. I wrote a short description for Visual C++ 2008 Express, should also work with Visual C++ 2010 Express (but you need the other Solution file!!).

So my take on this is probably something went wrong with your svn build. You can check this real fast by downloading the last official 0.99beta core and using it. If the errors during uoconvert persist, your UO-Installation is not ok. If it works, then your svn build is to blame.

My way to get this running would be:
1) Fetch the official 0.99 core distro, install it, and make tiles.cfg, landtiles.cfg and the realms. Install the files.
2) If this does not work, reinstall UO and rebuild step 1). Test it.

Hope this helps.

This worked beautifully.
