How Do You Upgrade 1.0 To 2.0 Without Losing Anything?
- Thread starter seanandre
- Start date
But Phantom, I completely changed Ultima Online systems to fit with World of Gothic (shard based on Gothic series game)... The only errors are that I have to change every old behaviour script to RUO2.0 like I've said - Server.Commands, Item Duping (which has new syntax in RUO2).

changing most of the errors is fine aka command changes are just CTRL+H and insert the old one and the new one, then u can do that fairly fast, only a few which i say your on your own are player mobile etc, my server wasnt to highly developed on players (still in dev) so we just bypassed playermobile and are working on getting old scripts onto 2.0 format so when proper version comes out we ready 
if you need specific help with a file ask for help ^^
Edit: btw, i understand phantom gave me -karma because he hates anything he disagrees with, and sithid because i said he was wrong
but on -karma going "IDIOT" is kinda stupid, whoever you are. Ill try and make it up to you guys, youll see ^^

I guess one of the easiest ways to move over to 2.0 would just be to copy out the parts you really want/need from your 1.0 Server, and just use the 2.0 from there. That one sounds easy enough, I think I could do that in... a few days actually. Well, I guess that's all I needed to know.
Enjoy!

Phantom's Right
When I ran 2.0 for the first time and saw all the script issues from my 1.0 shard, I did the lazy (but easy) thing, i removed ALL my custom scripts that affected distro files, kept only my accounts file and started over.
I mean it's not like there aren't going to be tons of systems posted for 2.0 anyhow.
But for Admins that have completely custom servers with all kinds of modifications, guess what? Grab a few 2 liters of Jolt, and get to work.
The RunUO Devs spent untold amounts of time building 2.0, so spend a few hours customizing it for yourself.

*grabs a bunch of jolt/red bull...*
Edit: Actually, all I really wanted was the preformance part and the new spellbooks. Wouldn't that just mean that I can slap the RUO 2.0's Server.exe into my RUO 1.0 folder and run that? lol

I'll go try it out lmao
lmaoOne other thing I hope you all keep in miind (I know for a fact some of you have preached this but I havent seen it mentioned in this thread), but before some of you do too much work changing things over, you have to remember this is not a final release... just a release canidate... so even more things are subject to change, so unless your making changes just for some practice (we could all always use some of that ), just dont be surprised or upset if something changes in the final, or rc2, rc3, etc... and you have to change things all over again.
Even in the initial posts about the release, ryan and others have warned over and over that this should not be used for a production shard unless you really know what your doing...

Exactly. This is a Release Candidate guys. More than anything else it should be used by scriptors to update their scripts and by scriptors and experienced Admins to do broad testing of the release to report back to the Dev team.
And no, an "update all these scripts to 2.0" script is way past feasible, if it is even possible. There are a dozen ways to program any given minor thing--and that is just the ways that would actually work. Writing a program to analyze all possible ways any possible script could be coded and then spit out an updated script would IMHO be a bigger project than RunUO 2.0 is.
Having said that, give me a few days and I will write a script to convert my Spawner2 items to the new distro Spawner.

This is pretty sweet though even if its not a final version of RunUO 2. I found a small problem in the tokuno treasures already though lol its the pigments they will not dye everything that they should be able to. Minor artifacts were not dyeable with them I tested the nox green pigments on a soul seeker it was a no go I tried them on a Hat of the Magi and it worked but did not have sound these should make the sound a dye tub makes.
At any rate that is a small time bug I would say lol the performance is excellent and the new features rock.

No matter what you do, depending on the amount of mods that have been made and your skill level at navigating them, updating to 2.0 properly will take time. With that in mind, try to follow this:
1. Keep your production shard online running 1.0.
2. All your upgrading should take place on an offline copy of your server, so your players can continue to play.
3. Go through every file in every folder and find any changes that have been made. Apply those changes as best you can to the new RunUO 2.0 files.
- This can get complicated if you or your staff haven't been properly commenting changes and noting changed stock files. If this is the case, you should either stick with 1.0 or restart your shard on RunUO 2.0.
4. Don't be afraid of compile errors, they are there to direct you to the places that need changes. Quite often, a compile error will alert you to a few changes you forgot about.
5. There are some notable changes to the RunUO distro that will make custom commands, context menus, and regions not work properly. This will take some research, and I have no doubt all questions concerning these changes will be asked and answered on these forums.
Upgrading will not be fun. It will take time. You may get headaches. If you stay the course and get it working, you will have had a valuable learning experience and will have a RunUO with many new and exciting features.

And it has been said to remember that this is a only a release canidate =) I'd follow that suggestion, to wait until the final.

Takes time, to get it going smoothly
As a player, I am excited about the changes, as the owner of a shard, It is a long job to get things to convert smoothly. I have saved every script that I have downloaded from RunUo over the past few years. I have taken each one and placed in on 2.0 and started it up. If it ran, good, if not it got taken off. I have two files, one is "Test" the other is "Working" so each new script I have to try is placed in the "Test" folder and run.
It took Ryan and his team Many Many months and sleepless nights to get it here for us to use, now it is up to us to get it moving along and work out the bugs. It will not happen over night and you should expect to spend many days working on your shard to get it working smoothly as well
Thanks Ryan for all your hard work
We are very happy to have it going.

screw the new UO, screw EA
The new UO crap is stupid, EA games is just screwed warriors over and adding pointless stuff.
tell me, was UO made for elves and asian classes. NO it is eropean based in the ealy renaissance.
I still have 1.0, and its not bad. there is no good reason to upgrade. i still wish i had the really old version of RunUO.
The only reason why i play UO is because its customize-able and its mostly
2D but i stoped playing UO for over a year and I come back and they have this elf crap, i quit playing because of SE and now they have ML, how pointless and stupid.
So what im saying is only get 2.0 if you don't have RunUO at all.
