hey everyone I've been playing UO for years (since beta to be exact) but i just now got UOX3 and I'm already having problems. well everything works just fine except one small problem... i can't walk.. move.. run.. anything, the only way i can get around is to use the 'tele command and that just isnt cutting it, also my weapons do squat damage but my wrestling owns monsters, could i get a little help here please, it would be much appreciated thanks

No worries, we don't believe in laughter here at UOX3.org

Seriously, though, we do need some more information to help us determine (and fix) the problem.

1) What client version are you using (displayed at the bottom of the initial login screen, would look something like 5.0.1a)

2) What UOX3 version are you using (IE 0.98-3.1 is the current release).

The UO Version is 5.0.1h and the UOX3 version is v0.98-3.1. so everything is current. thats still the only problem i have so far, theres thinks i don't know yet but those can be figured out later right now my biggest concern is the inability to move

When UOX3 starts up, does it give any warning or failed messages?

Specifically I'm thinking of when it loads the mapfiles, were those setup improperly, it would cause you to not be able to move.

yea map0.mul is failing to load and it says to fix the path in UOX3.ini. it would seem simple enough to do but with noone else having the same problem I'm stumped.

Open maps.dfn (in uoxdirectory/dfndata/maps/) and tell me what the first entry (MAP 0) reads (specifically the X= and Y=)

Keeran · Post by **Keeran** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 9:44 pm

[MAP 0] // Felucca
{
MAP=map0.mul
STATICS=statics0.mul
STAIDX=staidx0.mul
MAPDIFF=mapdif0.mul
MAPDIFFLIST=mapdifl0.mul
STATICSDIFF=stadif0.mul
STATICSDIFFLIST=stadifl0.mul
STATICSDIFFINDEX=stadifi0.mul
X=7168
Y=4096

and trammel is the same except for a few changes of 0 or 1 to 2 at the end of the file name before .mul

Hmm, well if your map0.mul is failing with those settings, something must be wrong with your mul files. The 5.x clients increased the map size from 6144 to 7168.

Just for kicks, try replacing your MAP 0 entry with this

[MAP 0] // Felucca
{
MAP=map0.mul
STATICS=statics0.mul
STAIDX=staidx0.mul
MAPDIFF=mapdif0.mul
MAPDIFFLIST=mapdifl0.mul
STATICSDIFF=stadif0.mul
STATICSDIFFLIST=stadifl0.mul
STATICSDIFFINDEX=stadifi0.mul
X=6144
Y=4096
}

That is the old size for clients 4.x and earlier.... see if it works.

well i created a back up maps file and changed one of them to the setting you gave me, i also had to change the trammel map, they now load up without the [failed] but i still can't move. thanks for fixing one problem though

Ok, so we know for some reason there's a problem with your map0.mul...

Are you certain you're using a 5.0.x version client? You may need to re-install UO, as a properly patched client should function perfectly with the default map settings (IE UOX3 should not be displaying the failed message).

Keeran · Post by **Keeran** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 4:58 am

well i changed that one thing to from 7168 to 6144 and the error stopped showing up, but i still couldnt move, I've tried reinstalling both but same problem arises, i guess I'm just not ment to have my own perfect UO world

giwo · Post by **giwo** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 7:53 pm

Have you tried creating a new character to see if they have the same problem?

I'm using the 5.0.1h client and version 0.98-3.1 here with no problem walking around. Ihave heard of specific characters getting bugged before, though, which could cause him not to be able to walk.

Keeran · Post by **Keeran** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:43 am

i have created new characters but i havent tried creating a new account yet, i could try that and i guess i could just teleport around with the gm if it will work

Keeran · Post by **Keeran** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:48 am

ok i shouldnt have posted that cuz i just created a new account and the characters cannot move with it either

giwo · Post by **giwo** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 3:37 am

Sadly, I'm stumped.

The glaring problem I see is that for some reason you have a map0.mul that is of the old (4.x client) size with a 5.x client. There has to be something wrong there, but if you say you've re-installed the client I don't know why it would still be the case.

If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to interject.

Is the DATADIRECTORY filepath in UOX.INI pointing to your UO folder, or to a seperate folder containing the map0.mul and other .mul files?

Keeran · Post by **Keeran** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 5:09 am

it is directed to the UO file itself not a seperate file with the map directorys

I have this exact same issue.

Windows 98 SE
384 Meg Memory
40+Gig available

Currently testing with 8th age.
I get a virtual memory error just about every time when I try load UOGateway. I was able to get logged in 3 times. Every time, I was not
able to move. After a min or so I disappeared.

Keeran what OS are you running under?
