Problem extracting files. - RunUO

Ariakas772005 · 12-05-2005, 05:46 AM

Every time I try to get back into run uo Im having to extract the files again and nothing is getting saved even though I thought I was backing my stuff up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm new at this

I'm not sure if I understand your problem. It sounds like you unzipped RunUO once, loaded it, played with it, shut it down, and then it would not reload?

Or are you saying that it is recompiling scripts each time you load it (which it is supposed to do) but isn't doing a world save?

Yeah what im sayin is after a fresh, zipped up download of run uo I go and unzip the files to the run uo directory under program files. Then load up, compile, enter the shard, play around, do a couple saves, log out.
now.....

as long as I keep my computer on Im cool, but if I restart or shut down and come back, Im at square one. Run uo is zipped up again just as it was after I downloaded it.

Im not saving correctly is my guess but not sure what im doing wrong. Is there something else to do other than an admin save before I shut down.

And no no problem with the compiling of scripts once they are extracted they go up with no errors shard starts, world saves.

Does that make any sense?

Please provide more information?

Are you waiting for a save or doing a save by hand?

Both, it saves when I'm messin around building stuff, then as a general rule I do a save and shut down before i log. When I say save and shut down I mean save it and log out of run uo. As long as I keep my computer on I can log back in and all my work is there but if I shut down my actual computer when I come back its at square one. Runuo is downloaded and zipped up and I have to extract all the files again, and as you can guess all my work is gone

Your saying RunUO is removed if you reboot your computer?

Stop extracting the files, that doesn't solve anything, most likely why your having the trouble.

ok but how do I access the files from a zipped folder? when I click on the server Icon it wont compile without extracting them first. If i click cancel on the extraaction wizard the server runs and I get something like this.

Scripts:compiling files c# scripts.............no files were found
Scripts:compiling vb.net scripts.........no files found

of course normaly theres no vb net files and it just goes on, but I needs those mobile and items files

Download winrar and extract the files into a folder, and then start RunUO.

sounds more like your computer is messed up than RunUO is messed up...
