Hey guys, looks like i was able to get the server up and running.

I'm doing a bunch of test runs because i want to build an entire world (small world) from scratch. Xuris worldbuilder works like a charm.

but I'm running into problems when i goto freeze items into my staidx0.mul and statisc0.mul file. I'm reading through the worldforge guide and I'm following it step by step and it wont work.

I have the file path for the statidx0.mul and staics0.mul located in a folder that I'm using C:\Program Files\UOX\custom map and statics that turns green so i know its found.

then for the items.cfg that is located in the C:\Program Files\UOX\WorldForge\Pol\config\statics

should i be finding the items.cfg elsewhere? when i put items in the world? where are these items saved to? is it the CFG file inside of worldforge?

when i get the static index i have no problem, however if i choose to do it by the auto freeze method i get this error "datei nicht gefuden."

the only way it will work for me is if i select type 255. i went in game prior to this and set several items to 255 and then after doing the freeze I replaced my staticx files with the updated ones however i was still able to .remove these items from my world.

any and all help would be great.

The problem is that WorldForge (and the guide) was made to work with much older UOX3 versions, which used a slightly different worldfile-format than the current version does.

There was made a conversion program at one point, which could convert from both old to new and from new to old - but it was never kept up-to-date with changes done to the worldfile-format, and now no longer works.

To be able to use WorldForge with the current UOX3-versions, someone needs to make an update to the WorldConverter-tool (available at http://uox3.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ ... Converter/ ) that makes it convert the necessary data from new to old (and vice versa is a bonus).

Worldfile-Format examples (the values that matter for WorldForge, anyway) below (note, serial is different between examples, heh):

New format:

[ITEM]
Serial=0x4000002e
ID=0x4a9
Colour=0x224
Name=#
Location=5968,1001,2,0
Type=255

Old format:

SECTION WORLDITEM 1
{
SERIAL 120034
NAME #
ID 1193
X 5968
Y 1001
Z 2
COLOR 548
TYPE 255
}

So either someone has to update the converter, the freeze/melt stuff has to be implemented directly into UOX3 (as in some certain other UO emus), or you need to use an older UOX3 version and a very old UO client version to do your world-building. :/
