Pandora Question

Where is the Ninja/Samurai stuff in Pandora? Do I need to download a patch somewhere?

I could be wrong, but i believe you have to add it yourself, at least that's what I've been doing.

[Daanonkerr]

Ok so I guess that begs the question... How?

Open the tab/category you want (npc, monster) then right click, choose "Add mobile" then type the name of the mobile.

[Daanonkerr]

Same way for items too I assume? Cool I will get on that tomorrow. Where can I find a list of stuff to load in there, so I don't miss anything? I have no idea how much is missing out of there.

there is also a better way of doing it all (besides deco)

make sure you install the "box server" - look in the start menu for it to install

restart shard

type [genboxdata and i forget the 2nd one - but it will be in the list of [help
this will "freeze" the shard for a few moments until it is done - so warn players
this adds files to the "the box" directory

2 ways to bring this files in:
1 is the import command under options - simple point to the files
other way is in option to set up and log into the box server, then under tools tab in pandoras - go to data and in there click on the 2

the spawn data is not needed unless you modified to use with spawner system or you use nothing but the default system

then you will see all item & mobiles in those 2 tabs using the same directory structure as your files are under scripts

ok I tried this the other day and I was tired and not altogether there, so I decided to scrap it and come back to it when I was up to the challenge. i figured I was mucking some thing up. So I just tried to reinstall the box client and low and behold... I wasn't as tired and hung over as I thought. I got the same error.

RunUO - [www.runuo.com] Version 2.0, Build 2920.31075

What am I doing wrong here?

As always thanks to you all for supporting the newbs.

[Lord_Greywolf]

the box server was writen for 1.0 and you are using 2.0

let me zip mine up here and pass it along

just un rar it (keeping directories) and replace ALL of the files from the old box server directory in your runuo folder

[Daanonkerr]

You rock! Thanks so much.

Ok one tiny problem... when i type [genboxdata

it says:

"This is not a valid command"

I made new profile to use the gen box directed it to the server IP, and set it to port 2593. Put in my admin account name and pw. It seems to be working fine. The server starts and everything is working. It just doesn't like that command.

When I type in [help neither the [genboxdata nor any other [genbox command show up.

What have i missed?

[Lord_Greywolf]

did you install the box server files? and then replace them with the ones i have above?

the install does more than just put those files in, it also adds in some dlls & such too

[hungry4knowhow]

im not sure if this has anything to do with it grewolf, but i had the same error, and now im renaming the files from WB type to .CS type so the server can read them.... will let you know once its done if that works.

Your download had all files in .wb format


/edit That was it, once renaming all files to .cs format the commands will work correctly.

Yes I did a full install then replaced them

Schweeeeeeeeet! I was looking at them when I was installing them wondering what the .wb format was. I thought it was a Pandora thing. I am such a newb! LMAO!

[Daanonkerr]

THAT DID IT! I did think about changing them all to .cs files but honestly I thought it was a Pandora extension.

Ok one other thing. Now that I typed the [genboxdata and it took 7.something seconds to complete, I am no better off then I was. There isn't any of the Asian armor, clothing etc in the "items" section on Pandora. I looked in the [help for another [gencommand but I just don't know enough about what i am looking at to find it. What other [command do I need to type to get this stuff to import?

I hate being this helpless. If you knew me, you would know that this is driving me nutz. I am going to hopefully start back to school in the fall and begin working on my masters degree. I am looking at a Masters in Educational Technology. I am planning to take a couple of classes in programming, I have no programming experience so I am going to start with Java, and more then likely take a C# class

[hungry4knowhow]

this i havent figured out yet...ill look further and hope for a post from greywolf before me.

Could it be the version of runuo your using? being that the setup files only ask for the runuo executable and none of the actual uo files.
If your using 2.0 RC1 im not sure if they have any of the SE or ML items in there, you may have to update to an SVN (howto's for SVNs in FAQ section) im not entirely sure about this but it could be the problem.

[Daanonkerr]

Anyone got any ideas?

[Lord_Greywolf]

sorry about that - i have it set up to load with the WB files to same on the main compiling time - yes just rename ALL wb file to cs

there is genboxdata, genpropsdata (or prop) & genspawndata (which is not needed)

any ways - if it only took 7 seconds - either you have one hell of a fast computer, or something is wrong - it took like 2 minutes & 4 minutes on mine for the 2 of them, of course i also have a shit load of custom items and monsters

but once you have generated the data files, look in "the box" directory - should be 2 xml files in there - 1 for data and one for props

you need to either "log onto the server" - options server, etc - and then under tools tab - datafile button - bring them in that way
or in options general tab is "import files" - click on it and import them from "the box" directory

then "items" & "npc" tabs you will be able to see all of the items and mobiles - that are constructable - in there - using the same directory structure as your scripts folder

so if you are like most people you will have a custom folder with your monsters 7 items in it - lok for custom, and then the sub folder for them, etc and they will be in there

Warning - pandoras can not show the bodies of those used from anim4 & anim5 muls, but will show the specs, etc for the monsters still
