Great script!

I am having an error on the Cliloc file

When i try to put an item up for Auction it will not go. and on the Server part it shows this.:

The auction system cannot access the cliloc.enu file. Please review the system instructions for proper installation

Any idea what i am doing wrong
Notes: I have capitalized the Cliloc.enu file and tested both ways as well.
Notes: I have changed the cliloc location
Notes: I have changed the Tokens to show true.
Notes: I have highlighted my changes in Red

AuctionConfig.xml file is below:

I moved the cliiloc to the root of my C: drive, and then it started working, try that. Just remember to update the config file to show the new location.

 

[Soultaker]

possibly something very simple i am missing

I tried the following
ok Tried it in the Runuo Directory & in the C: Drive,
Both with Capital C and Lowercase c
styles tried below.
C:\Cliloc.enu
C:\cliloc.enu
c:\RunUO-2.0-RC1\Cliloc.enu
c:\RunUO-2.0-RC1\cliloc.enu
I also tried it with Just
C:\
C:\RunUO-2.0-RC1

Could not get any of them to work,
Is there any other thing i might have missed.
I put AuctionConfig.xml in the Runuo\data directory
& edited the Assemblies to Reflect the Ultima.dll

Thanks for the help

Thanks!!! that fixed it right up

Thank you so much for posting your fix X-SirSly-X i was able to have it up and running in just minutes.

I have enclosed a copy of my 2 files below just in case anybody else needs them and is having the same trouble.. they wont even have to edit.

also at this point i did NOT have to move my Cliloc.enu file, just leave it in your Ultima directory at this point.. i did type the path into it. as you can see in the files below. i have posted them as we'll as put them on for download. depending which way you like it
at least it worked perfectly for me

Thanks Again X-SirSly-X

Ok one Lil Problem with the Auctions

Everything was running smooth and then Everybody started selling items grin!

Error 1) After the auctions started Ending and when somebody wanted to get there Auction Winnings they would double click the Item deed thing they got from the auction, and the shard would Crash immediatly.

Crash Listing if this Gives any ideas:

Any ideas on how i can fix this up and make the Item deeds work for me after the auction? btw it does the same thing on the Buy it immediately type thing.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

I specified the cliloc.enu file path, but still, it says then it cant be accessed:

The auction system cannot access the cliloc.enu file. Please review the system instructions for proper installation

I've tryied with different files, but nothing changed.
Any idea what could be wrong ?

 

[Soultaker]

check out post's #65 & #66

Look at Post's #65

X-SirSly-X, Helped me get mine going great when i was having problems.

If that doesnt work look at post #66 & copy those 2 files in. backup your others 1st. and just make sure your file is in the correct directory
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Ultima Online The Eighth Age\cliloc.enu
or wherever your installation is.

p.s. if that doesnt work your making the classic mistake alot of people have including myself, and editing the Auctionconfig.cs instead of the Auctionconfig.xml


1.) also your Auctionconfig.xml goes in your RunUO\Data directory
2.) in Directory RunUO\Data\Assemblies.cfg needs to be edited add the line Ultima.dll
3.) And Drop Ultima.dll in your RunUO Root Directory


Have a good one!

[mrc]

I didnt put my auctionconfig.xml file to runuo/data directory - that was my mistake. Thx for help.

 

[Alari]

This modification to AuctionItem.cs works as a good fall-back detection of cliloc.enu...

Add the Red code.

		static AuctionItem()
		{
			string clilocFolder = null;

			if ( AuctionConfig.ClilocLocation != null [b][COLOR="Red"]&& AuctionConfig.ClilocLocation != "" [/COLOR][/b])
			{
				clilocFolder = Path.GetDirectoryName( AuctionConfig.ClilocLocation );
				Ultima.Client.Directories.Insert( 0, clilocFolder );
			}
[B][COLOR="Red"]			else  // TESTING by Alari - 4:20 AM 4/19/2007
			{
				clilocFolder = Core.FindDataFile( "cliloc.enu" );
				Ultima.Client.Directories.Insert( 0, clilocFolder );
			//	Console.WriteLine( "Testing worked!" );
			}[/COLOR]
[/B]
			m_StringList = new StringList( "ENU" );

			if ( clilocFolder != null )
			{
				Ultima.Client.Directories.RemoveAt( 0 );
			}
		}

If you enable the Console.WriteLine bit you'll see the notice during the world load. The fall-back detection uses the same code as RunUO itself (or at least Docs.cs) to find the data files, so if RunUO can find them, now the Auction System will too.

Edit: Oops, missed a line...

Edit2, the sequel =P =) 1 YEAR LATER: Added another fix. Yay me.

 

[Curuis]

Have someone fixed the CRASH problem when claim teh Item ?

Have someone fixed the CRASH problem when claim teh Item ?

Here the new fixed version:

If you already have items on your auction just profile the system in [auctionadmin.

GREAT job man!!

WHat was causing that crash ??

Thanks agais +++KARMA!

 

[nadious]

I installed the update of the script that was provided, and I have to say that is has fixed the server crashes.... for the most part.

Before I ran the update, anytime someone would even try to access the auction system at the end of a bid, the server would instantly crash. After applying the update, we've had several successful bids and transactions.

Except for two...

One was a ring and today's is a pair of sandals. The ring went through the auction ok, but when it was trying to be applied to a bank account, the server would crash. The sandals had no bids on them, so they were returned to the proper owner. When they try to add them back (via the ticket that is returned to them), the server crashes.

Same error with both of them. It is:

Any ideas as to why this is still happening? My players LOVE the auction script and we want to continue to use it... but there's always an amount of uncertainty if the auction will actually work. It only appears to happen with item placement (into banks), and not gold.

EDIT: We had it happen again. This time, it crashed when a user was trying to purchase 90 black pearls from the "Buy Now" option that is located on the auction page. Same error as reported above.

 

[nadious]

Ok, it's getting worse now... Now I can't even get any of the items OUT of auction to give back to the players. When I try to put them back into their backpacks, I get the same crash error as above.

Something I did notice, was when my server starts, I get the following:

Do you think that this 'failed' line has anything to do with my auction system being messed up?

Also, I have included a 'debug' crash report (just learned how to do that) in efforts that maybe it might help a little bit more.

Edit: Ok, now... I've decided that I'll try to just shutdown the auction system and restart over again. However, when I try to force a perm shutdown, the system begins the shutdown process (I get the command line in the server window saying it has been shutdown) and it just hangs... players lose connection and nobody is able to log back in. (They stopped a 'verifying account.')

If I close down the server and start again, it comes back up with the auction system in place.

A Lil Problem

I installed the script a while back and it worked perfect....Now once anyone trys to add or bid on something this is what i get in the RunUO.exe file

Xanthos Auction System Could Not Access cliloc.enu.

I tried uninstalling uo and reinstalling still same thing i tried uninstalling script and reinstalling same thing...Any ideas?

 

[Setharnas]

Not familiar with this system, but did you maybe define a datapath (in the .cs of the same name) for an extra set of datafiles, but without copying the clilocs as well?
