[STICKY] Experimental UOX3 builds from GitHub: N/A

[pphoenixx]

I wasn't very clear with my last post.
I meant when I download the experimental, it comes up as All in one.7z
So, I downloaded 7zip & tried to use that, but it didn't work.
The Experimental IS NOT a zip file.

Interesting. I'm not home, so I can't verify.

Usually I have been able to unzip them fairly easilly. The file could have been corrupted on upload, I guess we have to wait and see what grimson says.

Ok! I don't know what I did.. But I got it to work!
LOL! Thanx for the help though.
Heh. It's funny, when you work with computers for a living, you tend to overlook the obvious, because you're payed & trained to look for the more complex.
LOL!
Thanx though!

Dumb question from an old doobie...
Anything I'm grabbing from CVS would be these latest versions right?

Thanks Xuri for keeping these up to date!

I think it is about time for me to update my server (it's been a couple of years...a testament to the stability of UOx3 for some time).

Sounds like you've fixed the "everything makes light like a window" bug. In the past, I've had to use your world builder to manually fix it, so this fix is quite welcome.

Thanks.

New experimental build:
all-in-one_0.98-4.0i-experimental.zip

Lots of small changes, so anyone testing this one out should probably not overwrite their existing UOX3 folder if they've got something they want to keep. Also a lot of stuff that needs to be tested in this one:

-Spells (damage, magic resist)
-New ammunition-tags for archery weapons (AMMO=id color, AMMOFX= id color rendermode)
-New WEIGHTMAX tag for containers, to define maximum weight capacity
-Item tooltip stuffs concerning maxweight capacity for containers
-Identification skill & wands to identify magic weapon names
-HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL AND TEMPORARY funkyness in NPC pathfinding code to try to stop them from lining up in a queue when following a player. This WILL cause some stupid NPC pathfinding from time to time. Be warned!

Nice work, I vote we up the build number and move to 0.98-5.0

I was trying to reduce the length of version numbers when we made the move to 4

[Xuri]

Darn it. I was aiming for 0.98-4.0z++.
