newb need help to get world file

[mihlub]

i'm a newbie to uox3. however i had been play the uo game for several years when uo was released and very popular. in the start of 2000's i quit uo to play other 3d mmrpg. just a few days ago i was thinking back at my timeline in gaming. uo came back to my mind. thinking ther might be an offline emu out there for uo. a quick search at google and uox3 popup. i downloaded the package and install it with the included instruction. i ran into a few issues of the razor 2d client could not login. i just hang at "verifying user" or something similar. tweaking and reloading uox3 a few times later i got in. the place in the broughtup old memory about that long old uo game. i was so excited to be able to play this old game again locally on my system. however a few hours later the excitment was a short one for i found out somethings were not as expected:
1. it does not matter what town i selected at character creaction time. all char all at a small wilderness town initialy. unknown and confused for a game i used to know those location so well.
2. i tried to run following the road to find those typical moongates so that i could go to the location i needed to begin myprogress of the char. to my surprise no moongate to be found everywhere i ran.

finally i read more at the uox3 site and found out that the default world in uox3 is nearly empty and found that there are other world file to tryout. i tried out a few others it looks like i found one that got some customization completed near britania but nothing much else.

here are my newbie questions:

1. is there any world file that got the most build customize to identical or nearly like the retail online server one?
2. if i could not find a solution for #1 above. how do i add those random moongate like the ones in the retail online one? where the user enter the moongate and she will be out at any of the moongates near one of the town in the game. i tried to run without using moongate but after a few hours of running the character to it's destination i'm abit exausted.

thanks for any tip, pointer, or direction.

thanks.

Hey and welcome! (again, already said it in reply to your other post, but what the heck

Yes, UOX3 comes empty of items and characters by default. A few options to get you started quickly can be found on the downloads-page under UOX3 Worldfiles / Spawns (note that stranf's is standalone, while the two others can be combined - also, the default worldfiles should contain moongates as well, I think).

Here's a workaround for the town selection not working:
Advanced Town Selection Script v1.0. Copy & paste the script into a text-editor, save document with a .js file extension in your UOX3/JS/custom folder, and then assign it ScriptID 0 in jse_fileassociations.scp to make it run for all new characters.
