Xuri's WorldBuilder 0.23b - Release Version

Post by **Xuri** » Sun Jul 20, 2008 12:47 am

UPDATE 14/10/2025: Attached here is an (updated) "unreleased" update to WB that adds (better) support for Win 8/10/11 and ClassicUO, and has some other small improvements and additions like faster/better House Templates feature, experimental Item Explorer menu section. Note that this still requires the full previous WB 0.23 installation from below to work; just unzip the update into your WB 0.23 installation folder and run "WorldBuilder2025.exe" instead of the regular one.

Yay, the official release of WorldBuilder 0.23 is here. Only 6 1/2 years after the previous release. *pats self on back*

This version doesn't differ much from the preview version I posted...uh...more than two years ago, other than some very small fixes which makes it work (somewhat) in Vista, and a new and improved installer which should now hopefully include all the necessary files to run this ol'e thing.

I suspect that some part of it will cease to work with the most recent client versions (automatic retrieval of coordinates, for one thing - at least according to various stuff I've read) but it seems to work fine in 5.0.8.4

(For those of you who have no idea what WorldBuilder is, it's a combined ingame worldbuilding utility (constructing houses, decorating your world, etc) and GM Tool (similar to CGMT/ShardAce of old, easy access to most commands and many features of UOX3). Also check out the JavaScript edition of WB!)

NOTE: To enable WB to send commands to the client in Windows 7, you might have to run WB in XP-compability mode.

The changelog:

v0.23b:

Code: Select all

	-FIXED: Male human spawn-entries were using incorrect names

	-FIXED: Random placement of items from the Forest menu should no longer put two items in the exact same spot.
	-FIXED: Western & Eastern edges of light wooden floor were reversed.
	-FIXED: Northern part of N/S Stone Fireplace is now a proper fireplace piece, instead of part of a chimney.
	-FIXED: Unoptimized house templates(like the christmas tree) should now work fine! Yay!
	-FIXED: WB should now work properly with UOX3 0.98.x and above.
	-FIXED: Roofs! Should now add correct roofs for any sized areas.
	-FIXED: 'Streamlined' the various worldbuilding sections a bit, removing the need for many of the dialogue boxes
		that popped up to inform you of options you hadn't selected yet.

Project time lines and release schedules are for losers, good work Xuri!

Awesome Xu!!!

I'm going to upgrade as soon as I can.

One request though (maybe you can implement this in another 6 years???)

Have a tab in the "Item" section and NPC section marked "dfn". This DFN section would have sections that correspond to the loaded DFNs in UOx3. That way, every weapon and NPC that are custom can be smoothly added using worldbuilder instead of the clunky 'add menu. Heck, even the add menu dosen't have the custom content.

No complaints so far on world builder now, just a suggestion for the future. Thanks!

How do u config the world builder having trouble getting the uo/encrp. it wants me to browse to this file after finding the uoinside file. i got the path to uo,to inside uo,and to uox3 but don't know what you are looking for with the last one uox/encryp.

Thanks in advance

That last feature isn't needed so you can leave it blank

Back in the day we had UO Gateway which no longer exists. Then there were things like Rice, Nocrypt, Ignition, etc.

ok well then it wont recognize my client then. its asking for it. I'm using razor and my client version is 5.0.6. Am i doing something wrong?

Jediman · Post by **Jediman** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:03 pm

I use razor and pretty much the same client as well.

What version of UOX3 are you running with?

sschmaud · Post by **sschmaud** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:04 pm

I USE STANFIS BUT I UPDATED THE UOX3.EXE AND THE JS.DLL FILE

Jediman · Post by **Jediman** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:06 pm

Er.

So what is the actual problem then.
Are you unable to build with world builder, e.g. you click add tile or whatever, but the tiles don't appear via the client?

sschmaud · Post by **sschmaud** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:07 pm

IF I TRY TO ADD A NPC IF I REMEMBER RIGHT IT TELLS ME TO START MY UO CLIENT OR IF I TRY TO CONFIGURE IT IT STATES THE SAME THING

Jediman · Post by **Jediman** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:19 pm

Can you post a screen shot of the configuration window from world builder?

sschmaud · Post by **sschmaud** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:24 pm

I will do that tonight I am at work now. thanks for your help and talk with u later

Post by **Xuri** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 8:03 pm

You need to calibrate WB to match the client. You do this in the configuration window in WB like this:

1. Log onto your UOX3 shard
2. Use 'WHERE to get your current in-game location (X Y and Z, three first values you get from the 'WHERE command)
3. Input (without moving on the client) the three X, Y and Z coordinates into WB and hit the "Calibrate" button.

Hopefully that still works ;P

aha that maybe it . I thought you had to hit calibrate first. Thank you again

sschmaud · Post by **sschmaud** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 1:43 am

ok I did the calibration first and it says calibration complete but when i try to add a tree or add anything xuris world builder states i need to activate a uo client

sschmaud · Post by **sschmaud** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 3:43 pm

ok i callibrate and it tells me callibration succefful and then i save. I go and try to add npcs and it tells me to activate uo client before issuing any commands. I have my setup done right everything is going to the correct paths. What else could be wrong.

Which client version are you using?

Make sure you do not have "Use 3D client" enabled if you're not using the old UO Third Dawn 3D client (which you likely aren't).

sschmaud · Post by **sschmaud** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 7:31 pm

no I'm using 5.0.6 2d razor versions. I can get it to calibrate it just doesn't stay calibrated for some reason.

Jediman · Post by **Jediman** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 7:34 pm

What operating system are you running?

Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista?
