I lose my new world Ive created everytime I log out, how and where do I back it up ?

[cjpainter1]

I have created 6 different worlds so far and everytime I log out I cannot log back in. I do know Im supposed to keep the console window open but when I try and save the world in different ways it never works. I just want to be able to save what I have done so far and be able to log back into my world, as we all know computers do freeze or need rebooting for updates at times. Please explain how and where I could save my world to reaccess it if ever I need to, thanks so much for the oppurtunity to have my own World,.

The world should auto save every 30 or 60 minutes by default. You can also force a save in game by using the [save command while on your owner account or by using the [admin panel and choosing save.

Yes Stormwolf and it does but when the console is closed, I lose the whole world;" the console that creates the world in the beginning." Maybe I have done something wrong. I put in my IP address for public, I have more than 1 comp. and people that play here too. But I know eventually I will have to restart this computer and lose it again ;unless Im not looking in the right places for the saves. I read in the freeze world which I didnt do, but it said to make a new directory for world data files ;which I did do. Someone please tell me what Im not doing or what Im doing wrong. Sounds like like yaw can keep going back to me, so help please. A wondering Soul here, lol.

I guess what Im asking is what File do I open to regain access to my UO Ive created when I have to restart my computer and the world console is closed ?

It should automatically access the save files when you start your RunUO.

What if I changed stuff in the files like where players start at and IP's and do you mean start the RunUO.exe file or just a shortcut or what. Can you tell Ive never created like this before, lol? I have just played the game up till about a week ago when I found runuo.

When you first downloaded and installed the server, it would have given you a shortcut. Thats all you need to "start" the server. The "blackbox" console should then appear saying its compiling scripts. Its basically at that point that it should be accessing the save files and checking for any new scripts that have been installed. You dont need to manually go to the save files unless you've ended up with a corrupt save. After the server loads and you've logged in, it should save every 30 to 60 minutes by default. After a save, you should be able to close out the server and be fine the next time you boot it up. If it isnt saving properly, you may need to redownload and reinstall the server. If you get any errors, please post them so that we can better help you. If you changed the start area and the server wasnt able to run it, you would be getting errors.

It was a winrarzip file and I saved it to my desktop, will that still work maybe, Im so far along in the world now and failed with numerous other trys, so Im apprehensive. The other times though I didnt use the shortcut, I went straight to runuo.exe and it would say error compiling IP Limiter and a few others I cant recall but I will try the shortcut. Does it matter that I placed them on my desktop though ?, Many Thanks HammerHand

Errors on opening RunUO.txt

Errors Im getting on RunUO.txt

[Hammerhand]

Ok... for the ServerList.cs, looks like you forgot to put the ; in at the end of the line.

public static readonly string Address = null;

For the AccountHandler, when you changed the starting city, looks like you forgot to add new with the starting city name.

private static CityInfo[] StartingCities = new CityInfo[]
			{
				new CityInfo( "Yew",		"The Empath Abbey",			633,	858,	0  ),

In the DataPath.cs, you have a few wrong characters on the error line.

As for the IPLimiter, please post that script using the # symbol above. Just click on it and then paste the script between the 2 ][ symbols. It should make it easier to track down the booboos.

Ok,thanks HammerHand. What I did was just started a new world in which Im not changing nothing in the scripts an so on unless I post first and find out the correct method and path. Also, now my shortcut works, I can close the console and it brings up the world just as I left it with no errors. I was getting ahead of myself and rushing things but not no more. Practice makes perfect, lol. Again, thanks for the oppurtunity to have my own shard.

Yes, be sure when running RunUo.exe you keep it open, this console is what governs all of your scripts and allows your "world/shard" to be connected to. Keep it open and be sure to use the [save command just before you close the server down, that way everything is saved for when you fire it back up. Good luck!

Did you check the date on the posts, or are you just responding randomly? The problem was resolved 4 months ago.

I did infact realize this, but since the solution was not stated clearly I figured anyone searching for the same kind of question would want an answer that was more clear. I apologize if this has somehow ruined your life. Thanks for being rude about it none the less.
