[2.x] XmlSpawner 2 Version 4.0 Revision 21

[Dian]

Adding XML Spawner will not effect anything you already have in place. It is just another spawner in its simple terms, but is the most powerful spawner out there. There really is no other that comes close to what this one is capable of. You can use XML spawner along with the other spawners just fine, as this will become an alternative to the others once installed, or you can replace your old ones with it.

There is no way I could tell you the benefit of it, there are just too many. There is an archive of how to's floating around here that would be your best way to learn what it can do.

 

[fwiffo]

they are different systems, so yes, you can use both of them without any surprice.

The main difference?! You just have to try by yourself, there are anyway plenty of videos on YT for you to see, as well as some examples inside the example XmlSpawner Extras\Spawns and inside txt files of my release, in the Internet you will also find a lot of material, but you should always reference to my release that contains all the materials and software required (from xmlspawner.yukuetc historycal site). Just imagine it as a swiss knife tool vs a single type tool, you can get a job done in a lot of different ways.

Getting this error.
By the way, any "Extras", just throw them in the XMLSpawner Core folder?

Also I am using 2.5

Errors:

Anyone know whats going on?

 

[fwiffo]

Just use 2.6, 2.5 is unsupported as I don't have the SERVER source files.

I already have a lot of custom content on my 2.5. Would I be able to just winmerge them?

 

[fwiffo]

yes, because it contains the mods needed to let the DEFINE flags work correctly, you should only need the file scriptcompiler.cs of SERVER (not scripts), so just replace the ScriptCompiler.cs, this will put in the needed compile flags/defines.

If you have a clean 2.5 server source (again, server, I don't actually need scripts), send it to me, or only the scriptcompiler.cs, so I can at least evaluate at the 2.5 time what were the compiler flags, and defines.

I do still have the runuo 2.5 .rar I originally downloaded if u want that. I can exclude the scripts and send it to u when I get off work tonight

 

[fwiffo]

If you have all the *original* pack just send it complete, that would be to do a complete test with the package.
Remember, just sources, not executables.

Hi I cant seem to get this to work, i am using runuo 2.5 with nerun's distro and uo 7.0.20.0 patch 59 by Formosa. I am no coder so have no idea how to fix stuffs. Any help would be humbly appreciated. Thanks <3

[fwiffo]

Just read the posts before yours, I can't support runuo 2.5 unless someone sends me SERVER source code, not executables.

 

[WillieZeke]

oook so where do i get 2.6 and how do i switch them OR whats the server SOURCE code look like for me to send it to you and how do i send? dropbox?

 

[fwiffo]

PM me or just write here

the >2.6 release of msturgil can be found here, the 2.5 is to be found prepackaged, you'll have to use some merge tool to save your scripts if you have written something, otherwise just use that or even better: use servuo

If you have SERVER sources send them to me, so I can add support for the 2.5 msturgil core/scripts that actually I don't have.

 

[WillieZeke]

I would prefer to send to you so it can be supported so other people wont have this issue but im not sure what the source code looks like to send to you. If you can explain to me what i am looking for to send you would be great help. Like if you know what the name of the file containing the source code or something like that. Because i do not know what the source code is... Im newb.............. do you mean send the whole 2.5 zip? or send a specific file from the zip?

 

[fwiffo]

If you have server sources (NOT scripts!) you can try to recompile substituting the scriptcompiler.cs file I have put in here...


Otherwise just use the attached server binary, that has been recompiled with the option needed for runuo mods to work with this xmlspawner.

 

[WillieZeke]

OH K lol..... i do not understand anything you said above... can you explain in newb language??? do you mean just copy\paste those 2 things you put ^ there? or???? sorry i know i am a hassle and easily confused by terminology i dont understand

 

[fwiffo]

Just replace RunUO.exe with what it's inside server.7z

Rename it or whatever...

 

[WillieZeke]

OMG! ty so much working perfectly (i think) i spawned a banker seems to be working !!! man you guys are amazing with a bunch of weird looking stuff that looks like gibberish to me !!! I am very appreciative !!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

 

[zartanian]

I would like to start off with saying you did an amazing job! Arte would proud to see how you have kept his work alive!!

Regarding your system I was trying to import some old spawns I made years ago that are in a .xml format. When I try to load them with [xmlload <<file name>>.xml I get a message file cannot be found. I am not sure if this is a limitation of the system or a error I am making. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Dian]

It may just be not finding the directory. Are your xml spawn files in the root folder/spawns? or whatever the folder is, going from memory, and thats not always accurate

You could look at the script where the command is coded, and chack that it looks for that directory first. You may need to do the command, [xmllolad spawns/<file name> or something of the sort.

I really should verify stuff before I spit it out.. sorry if its way off.

 

[zartanian]

I know location is correct as I can load files from the same directory created with the "New XML Spawner" they are just in a different format. I am thinking I am overlooking something so simple.

I knew was going to be something simple lol

[xmlload does the trick just needed to move .xml into a folder
