Noob returning - spawning a default world?

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 21:36:03 +0100

I'm looking at trying Sphere again but, it's been years...

Once you get the server up and running, how do you spawn a vanilla world?

Spawner bug

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 22:48:21 +0200

Hi there,
I've found bug with default spawns. If u try manually negate the spawn then some creatures stay in world. Spawner goes again for its amount from 0, so in the end it will spawn more monsters this its amount.
As u can see on the screenshots in attachments I marked spawned creatures in order. After Dclick it let always every second creature alive, but the spawner shows 0 creatures alive.

Client commands detection

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:50:43 +0200

Hello,
I've discovered that some of our players uses scripts to detect status of any npc in world, so they can easy check if any npc's have lower HP or if its alive. So it gives them information that somebody is here and they can go kill them ... for example YokoInjection command: uo.GetHp(NAME_OF_OBJECT) and you see its HP anywhere in world no matter how far u are.

Do you have any idea how to detect these commands from client-side?

MB how to see exact packets from client?

Thank you.

NPCs freeze when attacking

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 02:01:13 +0200

My NPCs act in a strange way. When they are spawned the walk around, but as soon as they try to attack someone or another NPC, they stop moving. When the enemy gets in range they fight him, when they stand in a field of fire they step out of it, but they don't go to the enemy to fight him. NPCs with ranged attacks don't use them.
I already tried several NPC-AI settings in sphere.ini, without any effect.

Any idea how to get them moving?

Gargish and other Errors

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 08:07:42 +0100

I seem to be getting a huge amount of errors in the console and they all generally relate to anything gargish!
I've just starting populating my world with traders and the scripts allocate them random hair, clothes and property which is fine, but anything gargish throws errors (this is usually in the property in the form of gargish earrings, gargish necklace, gargish rings).
I decided to try and place one of these items on the floor in the world using Axis and chose a gargish necklace, but when I placed it (created, not spawned), it appeared as a worldgem bit (I would have expected this for a spawned items, not a created one) but when I double clicked it, it crashed the client.
I've been through the various scripts and they all appear to load OK and the items are all properly defined as these are the original scripts (I haven't changed anything in the scripts or the script loading order, they're as they're set up in the sphere.ini).
Are there issues with the gargish items and should I just go through all of the scripts and disable them?
(I'm on 56d by the way with the latest scripts)
Thanks

UO music

Sun, 21 Mar 2021 08:57:21 +0100

Friends how do I set the music?
For example :
Britain with Sphere_region

Code:

[REGIONTYPE r_brit t_rock]

ON=@ENTER

    if ( >= 5)

    src.sysmessage @38,,1  Britain girişi seri katillere yasaklanmıştır !

return 1

endif

    SRC.SYSMESSAGE @1153,,1 Britain'e hoşledin ,

    SRC.SYSMESSAGE @95,,1 Artık britain korumaları size eşlik edecek.

    SRC.MUSIC=midi_britain1,midi_britain2

    src.sfx=midi_britain1,midi_britain2

ON=@EXIT

    SRC.SYSMESSAGE @95,,1 Britain bölgesinden ayrildın  !

Only bird sounds are heard when entering this area

NPC Flags

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 11:31:23 +0100

I thought I'd spend a bit of time researching this this time before asking, but I can't find anything anywhere...

I'm setting up some various tradesfolk in Britain and want them all static in set locations - I can do this no problem using both Axis to set them up and get the locations I want them and then freeze them and manually edit the sphereworld.scp to put them exactly where I want them, but within the character is the Flags= line; clearly in this case (and I'm doing this from work, so I can't remember which it is exactly but I think it said 'Flags=020000000' or something like that, so the '2' must mean can't move or frozen).
Looking through other examples of Worldchar characters that people have posted after they've had problems, I've seen a bird with 'Flags=0300000000' so presumably that must mean flight or something, but is there a list anywhere with what all of these flags mean?
I've got Taran's scripting and various other texts, but none of them seem to deal with these flags in Worldchars

UO, Axis and Distances

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 07:24:17 +0100

I know this may sound like a stupid question, so apologies up front for that...

I decided to try and recreate a shard I had put together some years ago now for myself and my family (I lost the files for that when my NAS was hijacked with ransomware )
I've reached the stage of putting the various wild animal spawns and populating the world with monsters, but can't for the life of me remember how distances work. I think using '0' for distance from spawn point in Axis means there is no limit, but what do I use to constrain spawns to different areas?

56d, Bad login (client trying to create character with invalid info)

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 07:14:18 +0100

I've scanned everything. Changed things, compared them to previous builds that worked, and checked all the settings to see how they'd differ. I've scoured the forums and still have not been able to find the answer to my question.

I have this error in the console: "Bad login (client trying to create character with invalid info)"

I can not create anything other than a human male.

My server will be a sausage party if I don't get help.

please.send.help.

I will provide any information. I've toggled all the expansions on and off to no avail and checked the DEFS to make sure it was in the scripts.

Any recommendations?

SKILL ITEMID Resources

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 14:58:13 +0200

Hi guys
I would like that when itemid is made to an item it says the material needed to make it.

If I put

PHP Code:

on=@success

SRC.SYSMESSAGe You need <src.act.resources> to make it 

gives the name type 10 i_board .... but I want it to say the names, for example... You need 10 tables.

Can this be done without having to add a TAG to each item?

thanks!

How Use C_Gargoyle_male with Human ANim?

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 15:04:07 +0200

On our shard we finnaly succes to add dwarf Race. We took Human anim and LOT of item anim and modify it to fit to a dwarf.

For simplify the systeme, We juste replace ANIM 666 (gargoyle_male) 667 (gargoyle female) by our dwarf ANIM. So when we do .body c_gargoyle_male, the character take the shape of a Dwarf. Making it this way make the paperdoll and the equipconv work.

All work perfect! We can do lot of thing and all work like it,s expected except 1 THING!

The problem is the ANIM.
When I do .anim 1 on C_man I walk
When I do .anim 1 on c_gargoyle_male, I do not walk...
You can see here what kind of problem I get:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/7...-24-06.mp4

The core don't detect me as a Human so it swap the anim.

HUMAN:
https://github.com/Sphereserver/Source-X...ums.h#L146

GARGOYLE:
https://github.com/Sphereserver/Source-X...ums.h#L238

How I can force the core tinking i'm a human?

THX for your help

56c password encrypt problem

Sun, 05 Jul 2020 02:00:28 +0200

Hello all;
I m using Sphere 56c and Joomla CMS web portal. I use the account transfer web to sphere. All script is fine working. All account transferred perfectly. But Joomla is finished using the MD5 password. I think new system name salted md5 or blowfish.

For example MD 5 Password :
PASSWORD=ba8000f6942f76c3f6be52afef212341
For example Joomla hashed password :
PASSWORD=$2y$10$U1S8bImMU2RzeSLxstlewuRcJM.vS4HN4SlnJ1qjuktike.0pNKm2

its different. And account transfer system is not worked. On sphere console say about the account help :
ACCOUNT ADD name password/ACCOUNT ADDMD5 name hash/ACCOUNT name BLOCK 0/1

But I dont known the addmd5 or hash/ command. Maybe its possible or required nigtly server request.

Note : I used this command on script :
serv.account add >.username> >.password>
