How do I freeze statics?

[Johabius]

I believe that the verdata is not used in any of the newer UO versions. If I'm wrong please be gentle

[WonderlandADnc]

hi there, what is the worst that would happen if i did that and its not right. and also how do i no, if it is not working right not having this file in.
thanks all.

[WonderlandADnc]

hi there all. i wanted to ask what i do about the / do i take it out. i no it says just put all of it in i make it into a .cs file. may i ask for a .cs file of it. as i may have done the wrong encoding for it. lol

also i did every thing put things in there place. and loaded the server it didnt come up with any probs on the server program.
but when i loaded my cliant. i put in my password and clicked my name, then when it said ''Logging into world'' to open the window paperdoll ect.
there was nothing it was my desktop. i could hear the UO muic, but that was all. so i took out the folder with the maps in it and deleted them moved the RunUO back into c:\ and tryed again it was still the same. i've looked in the UOse folder and all the files i took i are there still. as i just copyed them, so i loaded up UOG and went on a shard on the shard list and it was fine, so i tryed it again and it was the same no window, but music on my test shard. thanks all. i hope i get it sorted. thanks

Try going into the UO dir/Desktop folder and find the folder thats for your account on your test shard. Delete it.

Hopefully that works

[WonderlandADnc]

thanks there so much that worked.
also if i do a test freeze on the text shard.
how will i no its worked. ie i think i understand that any freezing. it updates my Mapdif files. how will i find out that it hasnt overrided my uo-se folder instead of the files in my C:\Program Files\RunUO Software Team\RunUO 1.0\Data Files folder.
im still not sure if i need VerData.mul as i dont no what would happen if i do need it. it loads the world ok. but it might be loading the uo-se files.
i have, vercfg.cfg - Verinfo - Version - Version.txt.

public class DataPath
	{
		/* If you have not installed Ultima Online,
		 * or wish the server to use a seperate set of datafiles,
		 * change the 'CustomPath' value, example:
		 * 
		 * private const string CustomPath = @"C:\Program Files\RunUO Software Team\RunUO 1.0\Data Files";
		 */
		private static string CustomPath = @"C:\Program Files\RunUO Software Team\RunUO 1.0\Data Files";

		/* The following is a list of files which a required for proper execution:
		 * 
		 * Multi.idx
		 * Multi.mul

		 * Statics*.mul
		 * MapDif*.mul
		 * MapDifL*.mul
		 * StaDif*.mul
		 * StaDifL*.mul
		 * StaDifI*.mul
		 */

any other help would be appreciated.

Runuo does not edit the mapdifs right now. V 1.0.0
It updates the map and the static files

If the data file is set to use the new data directory it will not overide.

[WonderlandADnc]

If the data file is set to use the new data directory it will not overide.

i dont understand, what this means sorry.

also for a test i took out the folder with the maps in. and moved it and loaded runuo. but when it loads it still loads the world.
i fort this isnt ment to be like this. as i dont want to over ride my UO-SE folder.
thanks to all.

ok to the orginal poster to answer your question in plain english type [admin this will bring up a menu. Scroll through the menu nd freeze statics will be on it somewere in it.

[LowCastle]

If I freeze the entire map, will it freeze any doors/secret doors?

[WonderlandADnc]

as far as i no it dont as i just freesed my maps. and all that was left was vendors doors lol.

[WonderlandADnc]

hi there all, ive freezed tram, i also have a hue file i want to use in as a patch, do i add both in one patch. say called Patch1.rar
i dont no wheather to use zip or rar, also when i put the files in downlaods on my shards website, do i add in UOG the address and /Patch1.rar.
and also i want to be able to add things to the town, ie: carpets. but i member when i setup Pans-Box it asked if the server uses custom makes. how do i set that up as i guess that will have to be set up.
thansk allfor the sopport.

[irro]

You need to use Rar files.

If you dont use a totaly new map click no.

If you do... just click yes and follow the steps

[WonderlandADnc]

ok. do i have to keep the names. as Pans-box comes up with a list of maps. ive frezzed fel and tram. so do i keep then as the same name.
thanks again.
also whats the best way to host my patch.
thanks

[Deaths Awakener]

i am a noob to owning a shard how do i distribute the patch files?

[WonderlandADnc]

find someone who host's files. rar up you patch files.
i no theres lots of info if you look around the site.

If you just froze new items on fel/tram you do not need to use custom maps. Just tell pandoras box "no my shard does not use custom maps" Just do that and you will see that everything will be fine.

[WonderlandADnc]

ok thanks. i no this sounds funny. as i said to someone to find someone who hosts files. ect. but ive tryed loads but none seem to patch my uo. it says faid to open rar. i no its not the rar file as i can down load it from the sites, and open em. and get m8s to download them on there pc;s and put this files into the uo folder. i want to say i did get them to zip up the old files. just as i test i wanted now there fine as it worked. but as soon as i put the link in uog it dont work. it starts to but hangs. lol
thanks again, for all the help. and anymore u can give me. lol

[irro]

Sorry it took me awhile to reply... been busy

You might want ot try putting everything in seperate rar files. that usualy fixes the problem

[WonderlandADnc]

hi there. ive been trying to just patch the hue file. i add it to Yahoo briefcase and made my files public. as i guess it wont send the files over. i then copyed the file link. i also called it patch1.rar if i add the link to expoler it comes up asking if i want to download. it
but i add it to uog and it says.
unable to download from url.
what am i doing wrong.

[WonderlandADnc]

ok ive got it sorted out now. thanks all for the help

also 1 more queston, i have built static houses in tram and fell. do i have to go to tram and do freeze there. and then goto fell to freeze there also. thanks all.

[WonderlandADnc]

ok ive sorted it now. but when i freezed the things in tram and fell. when i patched there are copys in each places.

I followed these directions exacaly, however when I distribute only staidxo.mul and statics0.mul to my players, it patches both Trammel and Felucca even though the area I created was only Trammel.

I'm not complaining, but how the hell did it do that?

-Mehla

Those files control both tram and fel. Currently there is no way to patch the dif files that seperate tram and fel with runuo. The only efficent tool that I know of is Punts World Forge over at Orbsydia.com

Remember, the dif's with 0 work with fel and the difs with 1 work with tram

[PoolMan]

I froze a section of ilsh. do I only need to patch these 2 files StaIdx2.mul
Statics2.mul ? ? or do i need to patch all the ones with 2,s ?

[PoolMan]

Has anyone tried to freeze in Haven ? It shows up in Ocolla but not Haven.
I understand both maps are the 0's and what you freeze in Tram will show in Fel too. But why is nothing showing up in Haven?
