Upgrading to newer versions Newbie question - RunUO

Raiden_ZA · 08-15-2003, 04:06 PM

Hi Everyone

I have a question that should be very easy to answer...

I have a running RUNUO Beta 33 server.
How do I upgrade to beta 34?
I have extracted and copied back the data and script directories.
I get some errors with items not existing then as well as crashing due to invalid object.

Any help/sites/material to read?

Thanks

i think you will need to post what errors you get so people will have a clue whats going on.

Only copy your custom scripts and the data directory, don't overwrite the old dir with the new zip file, or copy scripts that aren't custom.

To make upgrading easier, keep a list of every default script you modify and what the changes you made are and what type of change (bugfix, customization, logic change) - then go through that list with the new release and make the appropriate changes, if they're still necessary (bugs will be fixed, but if you want the code to work differently you'll likely have to change it to your tastes)

Basically, upgrading is a pain. ^.^;
