UOX3 on linux

[Lynchpin]

Fun part is be gonna finding ppl willing to play

[Lynchpin]

Default wordfiles dl doesn't work 0.o

[Xuri]

Uhm. What do you mean, exactly? The link doesn't work? Or does UOX3 not load the files correctly?

[Lynchpin]

Same deal as the spawn.dfn. Loads on startup, nothing spawns. Tried Dos2ing them, nada.

[Xuri]

Hm. After copying the files into the uox3/shared/ folder (while UOX3 isn't already running, mind) and having started up UOX3, press * followed by 'p' to display some server statistics. It should, amongst other things, be showing something like Items: 17456/9496064 (the important number here being 17456). If you're using spawn.dfn as well it will be higher. What does this show on your server?

Note that the files (.wsc and .bin) should be in the /shared/ folder itself, and not in any subfolder within.

Nope, not what I get - here it is:

thats interesting, though - could it be bc i have it RAIDed? Numbers almost exactly double.

[Xuri]

Keep in mind that a lot of the items will come from NPCs spawned through spawn.dfn (clothes, gear, loot, etc).

[Lynchpin]

any idea on why its not working? I'm clueless at this point; waiting for a buddy to come online to ask if he might have some insight.

[Xuri]

If you've made sure to dos2unix the worldfiles, and you copied them into the root of the /shared/ folder while UOX3 wasn't already up and running, and it doesn't load the items on next startup then I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid.

[Lynchpin]

eh, I got the linux port for runuo to work fine, might stick to that. I'd like to work on uox3 too - just to do something. I'm going to switch one of my OSes of my vms at some point; I just freaking hate windows servers with a passion
