directory problem runuo 2.0 latest

[quickfrost]

this is what i get everytime i start my runuo any suggestions

hello!

Please have a look on this -> Server Datapath - UO Gamers: Demise

[quickfrost]

thanks but read all the info and seems to me i need to take uo folder out of programs and set it up in c/games isnt there a easier way of doing this cause i really dont want to move uo

[Soteric]

Enter the path in quotes like this

"C:\Program Files\Ultima Online"

Maybe you also need to run server as Administrator because of some security settings with Program Files folder. It's really better use some other folder.

This is what you need to do, in order to get it to work automatic!

PLEASE NOTE: Messing up with REGISTRY can be disasterous! Do only as i say and nothing else! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU MESS IT UP!

Step 1: Goto "start" menu and
if user of Windows 7 / vista: Search for "Regedit"
if user of xp: select "Run" and type in "Regedit"
Step 2: Select node: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Origin Worlds Online -> Ultima Online
Step 3: Select Ultima online "key" and right click and select "New->Key". Name it "1.0"
Step 4: Right click on white area ( on the window at right ) and create 5x "New -> string value"
Step 5: From the left window, click "KR Legacy Beta"
Step 6: Name the "Keys" we made to "1.0" same as in "KR Legacy Beta"
Step 7: Double click each "key" in "KR Legacy Beta" and copy info to a matching "key" inside "1.0"

Everything should be identical between these two keys ( "KR Legacy beta" and "1.0" ) Exept name ofc.
Once you have done this, it starts to work as intended!



AFTER THIS!!

Start up server from the "RunUO.exe" and it should NOT ask for location anymore.
After regions and world has been loaded, it asks you to create "Owner Account". Press "y" and enter desired Username and password!

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
Let the server run, so it creates first save! Saves are shown in the black window, that is the visual side of the server. You can speed this up, by logging in and typing "[save"
If you dont let it save, IT WILL KEEP ASKING TO CREATE NEW ACCOUNT everytime you restart server!!


And thats it.


Please note, that 15 minutes ago, i was wondering this my self too, so im not saying this is THE solution, but its something that helps

-una

PS: Lots of people seem to have this problem, so should i create new topic for this post?

[quickfrost]

ok now im kinda worried about that step messing with regedit is one thing i do know not to mess with but what i tried so far is the second option and this is what i get

RunUO - [www.runuo.com] Version 2.0, Build 3567.2838
Core: Running on .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727
Core: Optimizing for 2 processors
Scripts: Compiling C# scripts...done (cached)
Scripts: Skipping VB.NET Scripts...done (use -vb to enable)
Scripts: Verifying...done (2213 items, 524 mobiles)
Enter the Ultima Online directory:
> C:\Program Files\Ultima Online
Regions: Loading...done
World: Loading...tiledata.mul was not found
Make sure your Scripts/Misc/DataPath.cs is properly configured
After pressing return an exception will be thrown and the server will terminate
An error was encountered while loading a saved object
- Type: Server.Items.LargeCrate
- Serial: 0x4000011C
Delete the object? (y/n)


now so you know i havent messed with anything nothing custom and when i push y to delete object it says delete all objects then it says press return will elimante this program
and pressing n will say the same termenate program

[Soteric]

Write the path to ultima in quotes.

[una]

Regedit surely can mess up your computer, but that happens ONLY if you go and delete something stupid.
In my "guide", you don't need to delete anything, you just add a new section.
I did that in 5 minutes and after that i havent had any problems.
But if you want to continue fighting with your problem and posting about it here, its fine for me.

But, those few steps are your guaranteed way to "victory".

[quickfrost]

well ill try it and ill keep you guys informed

for the truth I wasn't meaning that.

You can, as everyone suggests (and I did too), create new registry values. The alternative is to make your RunUO distro able to read also to the "KR Legacy Beta" server datapath, by installing the patch that is included in the thread I linked, and implementing it with TortoiseSVN or another SVN versioning tool you like.

[Murzin]

of course, an easier way would be to copy the specific files its looking for into the runuo directory


or else do what soteric said.


if you are editing your registry to fix this, you are doing it wrong.

i do not care if it "solves" your error, you are doing it wrong.

ok this is what i get when i put the quotes in

and what files do i need to copy into runuo directory

[migzilla]

I just did this last week after reformatting to windows 7, just follow the steps and you will get up and running in a matter of minutes.

1) Go into your program files, or programfilesx86 folder for win7,

2) find your EA Games folder, open it and find the client folder, open it up.

3) Right click and "Copy" the entire folder.( If you dont want to copy all the files, see the code below for the exact files you need in your new folder.)

4) Go back out of your folders and just into your C Drive, which would have the program files folder.

5) Right click and make a new folder, rename it UOFILES, then paste the client into it.

6) Find the Datapath.cs file, modify it to look like the following....

namespace Server.Misc
{
	public class DataPath
	{
		/* If you have not installed Ultima Online,
		 * or wish the server to use a separate set of datafiles,
		 * change the 'CustomPath' value, example:
		 * 
		 * private const string CustomPath = @"C:\Program Files\Ultima Online";
		 */
		
                private static string CustomPath = @"C:\UOFILES";


		/* The following is a list of files which a required for proper execution:
		 * 
		 * Multi.idx
		 * Multi.mul
		 * VerData.mul
		 * TileData.mul
		 * Map*.mul
		 * StaIdx*.mul
		 * Statics*.mul
		 * MapDif*.mul
		 * MapDifL*.mul
		 * StaDif*.mul
		 * StaDifL*.mul
		 * StaDifI*.mul
		 */

The line in red is your important line.

One of the reasons you want a seperate client to run the server is just incase you ever decide to do any map modifications. Not to mention if you play on your machine it may not be a good idea to be sharing the original client.

Good luck and if you need help pm me.

Check to make sure all the files copied into your client folder, you have a tiledata error there

Also, post your entire datapath.cs file please so we can compare it to another one of our own.

[quickfrost]

here is the datapath

thats what i did for last step by step you asked

and i copied the full uo client into uofiles in c drive

here are the picks of where its at uo files and inside uofiles

[Soteric]

Do you see the difference between files in

c:\uofiles

and

c:\uofiles\Utlima Online 2D Client

[quickfrost]

im still getting errors and asking me to delete barrels and bods and all kinds of deleting and i have not done one custom thing to runuo or uo

[migzilla]

I guess my last questions are, what are you patched at on that client you are pointing datapath to? Are you able to log in on other shards using that client?

[quickfrost]

i can use connectuo and razor to a another shard with my uo client with the most recent patch. oh yeah when i first got the runuo it worked when i was i 6.15 patch but since the newest patch of uo i cant get on runuo even a new runuo when i deleted the runuo 2.0 about 2 weeks ago personally i think runuo cant figure out newest patch with win 7 thats all i can figure out and btw i only use runuo to make new scripts for the shard i play at

[migzilla]

Here are just a few of the files from the client in my UOFILES folder, you didnt post a pic of that so just make sure it has all the correct files in it. Or change your datapath to read the folder you have inside the UOFILES folder like this because you need to make sure it points to the very last folder in the listed directory you specify.

private static string CustomPath = @"C:\UOFILES\UltimaOnline2dclient";

maybe you guys are all missing an important aspect:

            {
                String keyString;

                if( Core.Is64Bit )
                    keyString = @"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Origin Worlds Online\{0}\1.0";
                else
                    keyString = @"SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\{0}\1.0";

the fact is, the new UO installers (the 9th Anniversary one) won't create a Registry key "1.0", but a "KR Legacy Beta" one.

Installation directories are all in that registry part, but Datapath.cs is searching for 1.0, NOT for "KR Legacy Beta".

So, you have to tell RunUO to search in "KR Legacy Beta" too (see link I provided, there is an attachment in .diff you can implement with TortoiseSVN), or you have to create a new key in Registry "1.0" and copy all of values in there.

And this is the same reason why programs like UOAtlas or Pandora's Box often will return issues.
