UOX3.org

I was meaning to wipe the spawn.dfn out so it had no entrys well i wasnt thinking and I removed regions.dfn entrys left regions.dfn blank.

I tryed to load uox3 with regions.dfn being blank it causes it to crash right after startup. I wasnt going to post it because I thought wasnt a big deal.

I thought to my self what if some one wanted to make it blank to make all new regions for a custom world, They wouldnt know what to do if it kept crahsing on startup.

At the bare minimum, UOX3 requires the base regions that cover the entire landmasses (see regions 251 to 255 - also, btw, I'm adding Ter'mur to region 250 for the next version) to be present, or there will be all kinds of trouble related to handling items/characters/weather/etc. As such it's not a good idea to allow UOX3 to finish starting up if there are no regions present at all.

I added some code to shut down UOX3 gracefully when it encounters missing regions, though - instead of just crashing. Though UOX3 will still run into trouble if you add a fake region to the file and don't actually have the base-regions covering the maps.

The fix for this is now available in UOX3 0.99, and on the CVS.
