Id like to address those who are planning on upgrading their RunUO to 2.0, who also have tons of custom modifications.
Some of you (you know who you are) make the mistake of attempting to take the new release and wrap it around your current server. Please please take into consideration that this is fundamentally a flawed idea.
Take the time to install the distro release, and then move your modifications to it one at a time. A structured file system is a good idea to keep the overview clear.
RunUO\Scripts <- for all untouched files
RunUO\Scripts\Edited <- for all distro modified files. preserve the file structure!!
RunUO\Scripts\Custom <- for anything not distro that you have added.
If you have set up your file structure like this, it is extremely easy to see where problems are originating from if they do pop up (in the console you see immediately by the file path if its a custom file or a modified distro file)
Yes, it takes time to set up, but if done properly, you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run..
If not... I wouldnt be surprised if you are in here later asking for help locating memory leak sources and other related issues.
Do it the right way. Build your shard around the emulator, and not the other way around. Its like building your engine around your car.. you are most likely going to end up with some problems, and lets face it... it just looks goofy

He meant that you want to keep all of your distro files you have modified...Arvoreen said:Would this work? I thought RunUO only compiled all the scripts it found in the Scripts directory, so you'd need to do like:
RunUO\Scripts
RunUO\Scripts\Edited
RunUO\Scripts\Custom
Right?
Just wondering/clarifying!
So for example if you have a modified PlayerMobile, the structure would look like this:
RunUO\Edited\Mobiles\PlayerMobile.cs <<Original
RunUO\Scripts\Custom\SomeSystem\PlayerMobile.cs <<Modified
I take it one step further:
RunUO\Edited\Mobiles\PlayerMobile.cs <<Original
RunUO\Scripts\Modified Distro\Mobiles\PlayerMobile.cs <<Modified
Any modified distro files are kept in the 'Modified Distro' folder with the same dir structure as they are found in the Scripts folder. This way you know where they go exactly if you need to replace with the originals.

I found it easy to leave the Distro files in the same place as they where.
the ways you guys have it setup you have to run a search just to find your player mobile.
"hmm was xxx in scripts\edited\fs taming? or in scripts\edited\owlts?"
I leave the file where it belongs and place added files in my customs.
the file then gets a rename.
exp all files moded by fs taming are now named *FS.cs (AnimalTamingFS.cs)
Simple mods are tagged with MOD or M.
This way I not only know where the files regradless of how many customs I place in. but I also know if the mod was part of a package or a small custom mod.
But hey to each his own.

I hope that's what he meant lol. Because that would be the way to do it... the way Avroreen did unless you recompile the core.Arvoreen said:Would this work? I thought RunUO only compiled all the scripts it found in the Scripts directory, so you'd need to do like:

RunUO 2.0
After months of not comming to this site I came back to see what is going on with RunUO 1.1...now I found runuo 2.0
.
Ok, thats fine with me, now the question, is there an link to download an beta or whatever state it is now? Time will come when we dump Sphere and migrate all Custom skripts to runuo so why not start with runuo 2.0 instead of 1.0 ^^. My plan was to begin shortly after Christmas. So an 2.0 Version would be very fine. I can also make testing and bug searching.
