How can I remove welcoming message and change starting point? - lionhorss - 08-14-2012 05:03 AM
Hello, everyone. I'm kind of new about all these things with scripting and so forth. I know only basic things about it, but hopefully, you could help me.
I also searched everywhere around the forum, but still couldn't find a similar problem with mine.
I have this problem with welcoming dialog box. When I start UO Client, create a new character for the first time, and enter the game, first I see is a dialog box with welcoming text and it also provides a few descriptions about some regions of the game. It is like a welcoming tutorial or something, because it says something like "Ah yes, you over there. Come here. You seem a bit puzzled. etc." Then you press "Next" and the box says: "Long ago we existed as one society. blablabla...."
Well, anyways, after all descriptions, the game transfers me to the Britain city and I start my game from there, BUT I would like to change this starting point and remove that dialog-tutorial box. I don't know where to look to change that. Can you help me with that?

I tried to change contents of sphere_map_points0.scp and nothing happened. When I entered the game, the same tutorial was still there and started again. In sphere_msgs.scp are only messages that game provides when you do a certain actions, like "to be of normal strength", "You can't use the %s where it is." and so on.
I'll try to search again, but I doubt that I will find a file where is written that not-needed-tutorial.

Can you find the words "you seem a bit puzzled" in any script files? Alternatively, can you find the cliloc number 1075466 which represents that text in any script files?

It's possible that he is using Kingom Reborn/Stygian Abyss client ?
