Great program and two questions

Post by Caracalla »

Hello, new user here and I got my server up and running, UOX3 rocks! Thanks!

But I have two questions:

1) I added zones to the Lost Lands with the UOX spawn editor from the spawn.dfn I've found in this site (94 Kb). Problem is after adding the lost lands the file is now 335 Mb. Is this normal?

2) NPCs on horse (equiped like Xuri's UOX3 Guide points out) don't have fight anims. They look like dismounted while swinging weapon.

Excuse me for my english and again thank you!

Howdy!

I've been a way a while (ok 6 years) but UOX3 for me is like riding a bike :)

Can you open up the spawn.dfn and see how many lines there are in that file? I'd suggest using something like editplus (http://www.editplus.com/) it's free (just hit I agree..the thing never times out lol), since it gives you the line #'s and parses quickly.

It could be that there are a TON of new entries...though 335mb seems quite excessive??

As for the horses w/npcs...what version are you running? The latest official or one of the experimentals?

Thanks for the answer.

I'm running experimental, the one from the file all-in-one_0.98-3.7t-experimental2.

The problem I'm having with mounted npcs is only aesthetic, they revert to the dismounted fighting anims while on horse and the horse just dissapears for the duration of the swing (they still stand, run and work perfect though).

LOL, and I cannot open spawn.dfn with notepad++ anymore!

But I know from UOX Spawn map editor that I have 655 regionspawns, and raising!!! (I just discovered Wind! Ah, THE MEMORIES!!!)

Still Spawn.dnf works ok, only problem is at 325 Mb. will be difficult for me to share such file :(

For some reason, I suspect that your spawn.dfn file is a tad... hum... corrupt? What exactly have you added to it, anyway? :)

I made all the Lost Lands basically, Oasis, desert, Terathan Keep, City of the Dead, Ice and Fire dungeons... I did it adding some lists to npclists.dfn though.

Also retouched some dungeons... Not hard with the help of the atlas at UO Stratics, but please, don't tell me now the file is corrupt :(

And what about the NPC fighting anims while on horse?

Spawn.dnf seems to work ok anyways :?


EDIT:

Fixed spawn.dnf! Now it's only 102 Kb :)
