I set up a server a few years ago and never finished building it. While I hit a few bumps in the road then, it's like i've got roadblock now. Let me give some info and ask for a little guidance here.
I'm looking to create a server that I can play around with simply because it's fun. I enjoy playing around with the scripts and all that... it's great stress relief. I'd like a few of my friends to be able to log into it, but it will be extremely low traffic. I'm not even that worried about connectivity at the moment.
I downloaded 2.2 and started it. I entered the correct path (c:\program files\electronic arts\ultima online classic) when asked. I got an error message about BODs asking if I wanted to delete the item an allitems of its kind. I tried answering N and Y and the server terminated both ways.Then I tried using a copy of ML in my c:\program files (x86)\... folder and got the sameerror, different item.
I've looked at all the tutorials I can find on this site and 5 or 6 other sites. I even tried using emulators from other folks andnothing is working right. I don't remember it being this hard.
I must be missing something simple...
I want to run the server on my extra Alienware with Windows 7.I am not a scripter, but I was very good at incorporating and modifying others' scripts... I suppose I know just enough to get by on a very small scale. That's just to say that I will probably not easily understand some directions, but I can follow explicit instructions well.
If I can get a very clear tutorial, I can be up and running and figure therest out along theway.For now, I just need to get the server to actually start.
SO... I've uninstalled EVERYTHING and restarted with nothing but a fresh download of 2.2 and the latest Razor.
Questions:
which UO should I download?
what version of dotnet framework?
which helpful 3rd party programs do i need? (Pandora still the main one?)
what path should I install UO it into?
any modifications i need to make to scripts before starting the server?
common errors to watch out for?
anything else in the world i need to know?
Is there an updated tutorial that I'm overlooking or will some kind soul take me under their wing for a bit and get me running here? I will create a monument to you in my world (though not many people will ever see it)
