Xuri's WorldBuilder 0.23b - Release Version
Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 12:47 am
UPDATE 14/10/2025: Attached here is an (updated) "unreleased" update to WB that adds (better) support for Win 8/10/11 and ClassicUO, and has some other small improvements and additions like faster/better House Templates feature, experimental Item Explorer menu section. Note that this still requires the full previous WB 0.23 installation from below to work; just unzip the update into your WB 0.23 installation folder and run "WorldBuilder2025.exe" instead of the regular one.
Yay, the official release of WorldBuilder 0.23 is here. Only 6 1/2 years after the previous release. *pats self on back*
This version doesn't differ much from the preview version I posted...uh...more than two years ago, other than some very small fixes which makes it work (somewhat) in Vista, and a new and improved installer which should now hopefully include all the necessary files to run this ol'e thing.
I suspect that some part of it will cease to work with the most recent client versions (automatic retrieval of coordinates, for one thing - at least according to various stuff I've read) but it seems to work fine in 5.0.8.4
(For those of you who have no idea what WorldBuilder is, it's a combined ingame worldbuilding utility (constructing houses, decorating your world, etc) and GM Tool (similar to CGMT/ShardAce of old, easy access to most commands and many features of UOX3). Also check out the JavaScript edition of WB!)
NOTE: To enable WB to send commands to the client in Windows 7, you might have to run WB in XP-compability mode.
The changelog:
v0.23b:
