UOX3.org

Haven't looked at SF, but how is UOX doing these days? Was curious with all the client changes, if it has retained compatability. Still active?

I've been playing and modifying UOx3 heavily for the past two years.

Most of the best C++ programmers are all busy and only have short bursts of active activity. But what they lack in time and numbers they make up in quality, and I have been very appreciative of the way they have fixed serious bugs (in my eyes) in a timely manner.

As you can see from some posts below, there seems to be some issues with the latest patching, my shards all run on client 5.0.1h. I've been looking at OSI website and haven't really seen a major reason yet to update my client and risk incompatibility.

It's been a great program, and a lot of fun to mod.

Using the latest UO ML client (6.0.6.1 patch 64) and the latest version of Razor to remove encryption, I get stuck at "Verifying account" when trying to login to UOX3. UO ML client 6.0.1.3 works fine, though.

So at the moment, no compability with latest UO client.

Hey all - hows things going ?

Oh my - i joined 2004 - has it been that long?

Hey xir!

Chances are you've been around longer. 2004 was when Xuri started up these new forums.

I've been here since 98, if memory serves.

Add another three years onto that lol.

It's funny, i learned so much from this, back in the day. Nobody really appreciates all the hard work that went into it all. Problem solving, and just messing and hacking, and learning and evolving. It was all free. Was more about that than the anything else. It's the essence of the past, everything was done in that kind of spirit.

I feel so old, and I haven't even started my career yet, I am in New Zealand, having moved from Ireland last week. Spent some time backpacking in Australia, last year.

Sometimes, the computer stuff seems so overwhelming now. Trying to get a job too, or to find something enjoyable, with some good people.

Steve Jobs, the mac guy, dead recently.

Even worse, Dennis Ritchie, just announced dead aged 70, a month after his birthday. It's an ill omen. I still have the "K&R" book on the shelf at home.

It's worth a tear and a remember:)

Hey Xir,

Part of me wishes I would devote the time to dive back into UOX3, but I just can't bring myself to do so.

I just hit 30 this year so I'm definitely starting to feel old, but life has been good to me lately so I can't complain.

Great! Was foundling the notion myself of downloading UO and seeing if I can find a shard to crash on again.

Only got my travel laptop here, which small, and no mouse, so the idea was kicked out the window.

Glad things are going your way for a change
