UOX3.org

Ok just got my server up and running and it is completely empty. I added A bank vendor to the server for testing. I used the classic client and everything went well. I switch over to the Enhance client and click on the banker and it says "missing strings" when interacting with the vendor. Any idea why?

Right off the bat, UOX3 servers start out empty - the idea being you build your own shard from that point, giving you full control over everything that's on your shard. There are some additional downloads you can use as starting-points though, if you prefer:

Default World Files (also available from the Downloads-page) - these contain doors, signs, lights and other basic decorations for the towns in mainland Britannia, Felucca facet.

Community made spawn.dfn to populate the UOX3 World - Basic vendors in all mainland Britannia towns, dungeons plus parts of the overland map populated with monsters and/or animals.

As for the Enhanced client... well, support for it is experimental at best in UOX3 at the moment. I added in basic support for it, but I doubt it will be possible to use it for regular play without further support being added (gumps act differently, for one thing). :/

Dang that sux I was really hoping to use it with UOX3 .... I noticed that I started out in Felucca... what expansions are in this game? Is trammel part of it?

Where do u put the world files?

The Trammel ruleset is not by default support in UOX3. The Trammel facet is accessible, but in essence you basically have two Felucca-facets in UOX3 as there is no functional difference between them, unless you make it so (through region-flags, custom JavaScripts to stop hostile actions towards other players, etc).

All the other facets/maps from the other expansions are also available, but none of their special features (weapon-skills, house-customization, virtues, smooth boat movement, etc) - unless you make it so yourself. Exception is that support for creation of "elves" and "gargoyles" is implemented - though again they're treated as normal humans once in-game (which doesn't work particularly well for gargoyles it seems).

The world files are put in the UOX3/shared/ folder, which will overwrite any of your existing characters and/or items, so it's best to do so at the very beginning. I assume it could be possible to merge existing items and characters into the worldfiles somehow, if one makes sure that no duplicate item/character serials exist, but depending on how much work you've done on your shard already it might be easier/safer to start from scratch or decorate your current world by hand instead of using the worldfiles.

Well does anyone have a working enhanced client loader like the one form ABCUO that does not have the missing string issues?
