Vendors? Little help

Paladwyn · Post by **Paladwyn** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 3:39 am

Hi, I'm new to the whole thing, but I've been playing around with trying to get a small, private server going.

However, the documentaiton refers to a command called 'gmopen and they say it changed to 'openlayer

Does it still work the same? I can use the 'openlayer and target a vendor, which opens his backpack....but what are the actual layers to open... I tried 'openlayer 1a, to mimic the 'gmopen command, but to no avail...nothing happens.

I tried to look for the npc.scp file, but it appears it's changed to a group of files...seeming to be different regions, and the documentation stating how to manually change the buy and sell menu's have changed there as well.

If anybody can offer help on one, or preferably both ways to edit the vendors...it would be greatly appreciated.

Try to put 0x in front of the layer you wish to open, like... 'OPENLAYER 0x1a, or 0x1b. Otherwise the documentation for setting price/value etc should be the same I think...

Also, to edit the NPCs directly, look in UOX3/DFNDATA/NPC/ folder, and edit either femalevendors.dfn or malevendors.dfn.

To edit the "shoplists" of the various vendors (all the vendors should have a shoplist defined in the malevendors.dfn/femalevendors.dfn file), open UOX3/DFNDATA/ITEMS/shoplist.dfn, which contains the data for which items are bought and sold.

The buy/sell-values of those items though, are defined in UOX3/DFNDATA/ITEMS/ - in whichever file holds the item in question.

Thanks...I'll check into that...now I just gotta figure out the whole thing with the prices not showing up, and the fact I can't run a 3d client... would Win2k have any effect on this at all?

Hm win2k shouldn't have anything to say, no. I've run every copy of UO I've gotten my hands on (all, apart from Samurai Empire), both 2D and 3D-versions, and they have worked just fine on my win2k box.

I'm not too sure....it hangs on "Connecting to server" and sits there...2D goes in, no problem... I'm sure it's something with the client.. I have enough power to run it, 1Ghz, 700Megs ram and a radeon 9800pro...

How do you start the 3D client?

Right now I'm using the latest version of UO Gateway. Didn't seem to matter what client I ran, whether it be Blackthornes Revenge, Age of Shadows, or Samurai Empire.

Unless there is somehitng I need to configure yet...I can't seem to find anything.

Ok, I'm finally on a roll...I've found out about the Vendor/layer thing, and the problem with UO3D starting was a Gateway issue, now fixed in the new release...

Last thing is the whole, no values showing up in the vendor listings...as well as it being blank upon first opening a buy list, until you scroll. Once that issue is fixed...things will be good.

I know of somebody else on the forums having the same problems...I believe it was Xuri...go figure
