Pandora 2Beta7

it is still there --- if you use task manager can see it and stop it

this is how we found to fix the problem

i am stating how we did it with the old pandora and updates with files, but should work same here

uninstall all pandoras you have and then delete directories also
reboot system
install pandora but do not run it
reboot systen
put in any replacement files, etc (we have the mapserver and pandora.exe that get replaced)
reboot system
then start pandora for the 1st time

what it seams to be is that pandora stores it profiles internally, and when you change the exe around, etc - it expect the profiles to be in a "certain" order and they are different - sort of like runuo and serial/deseril errors
and it closes down the interface, but does not fully exit

this way seams to fix it

I've had that same problem as well. And it doesnt seem to matter if the client or anything else is running or not.

Could you please check if your registry entries correctly point to a valid UO directory? And specifically, if you have a Radarcol.mul file in it?

(registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online\1.0)


Another thing: I have updated the archive files, as they did not include Irians changes to MapViewer.dll before. Also, there seems to have been a small oversight on my behalf in the MapServerInstaller part of the project (source only). My apologies :eek:

*Update 08-19-2007* Changed MapViewer.dll to (hopefully) not throw "Output buffer too small" exception anymore - please download it separately, I'll put it into the other two archives after getting confirmation that this works

The new MapViewer.dll get rid of the "buffer too small" error, thanks! :) Do you mind update the other two archives with the changes you made?

I've tried everything here and have the same problem. I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 if it makes any difference.

The official distro works, but obviously I can't use boxserver with it.

EDIT: I worked it out, but now the maps won't build. Any idea why that may be? It seems to have trouble locating the Ultima Directory, and then starts looking for files that aren't actually there... Very strange. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

R-T-B, I am not sure if the registry structure is changed in Vista (don't have it and don't plan on using it). Take a look at the answer I posted in your own thread and see if that works for you. Otherwise someone with Vista experience needs to help you.

For the original PB 2.0.0.5, if you have WinRAR installed, you can rightclick the installer file and manually extract it.

Preferably though, use the newer one I attached here. Make sure you also use the MapViewer.dll update from the same post, as I have not updated those archives yet.

I'm try to run Pandora's box under Vista Home Premium, but it keeps hanging up on loading the English.dll: the program says it cannot find it, though it is in the folder!
Any ideas what's going on?

Can't get used to it myself, but my laptop came with it installed. I'll probably replace it when I've finished paying for it.
Hmmm, I wonder if the dll has correctly registered?

I've only just noticed this; Pandora expects its language files in a subfolder:
<Pandora folder>\Lang

Try moving it there; does it work now?

Pandora's Box Complete Files.

I am attaching 2 zip files.
For the first file look 4 posts down. I moved it when I updated it.

The second file is the corresponding box server (Box Server SVN268.zip.) I built this zip using the SVN 268. This affect only the account.cs and assemblies.cs scripts. To use this just unzip into your runuo server directory. It will create all the needed files in the right locations. If you don't want to overwrite your account.cs or assemblies.cs files just say no when it asks you if you wish to overwrite.

That is it. This works and you can connect to the box server once you restart your runuo server.

*Remember I made no changes to the code just repackaged everything so it works and is easy to use.

Good Luck and enjoy,
-Rap
