Becarful with converted MOUL Ages......

I'm not going to go into detail of the who, what, why, or how this happened, but let's just say that if you are converting any of the MOUL Ages, becareful. I would recomend that you put them in a different install of your Uru somewhere and that's what that install instance is for only. I would not recommend having them in like let's say your install for testing Ages, or anything else.

I went to link to Phil's Relto, and ended up in Tsogal instead. :shock: Okay, that was strange, I don't know how that happened. However, when I linked back to Relto, I ended up with ........let's call it a clash of realities and leave it at that:

When I tried to link to Gira......I got this:

I'm too tired to check right now, so I don't know if this is permanate or not.....if so I'll just copy over from one of my back ups that I have.
But in any case: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! :D :D

I can't think of how this problem would happen, but since you mention it, I have a problem too, but when I go to Phil's Relto I just crash, and it tells me game files are missing, I know I didn't delete the place, so they just seemed to have got lost at some point I didn't notice. Probably has to do with the MOUL files for me too I guess.

Well for now, in this case, I'm going to move the converted files over. I don't remember converting Phill's Relto.....but I could be wrong and that's what caused it. I can't remember if we always had it with MOUL, or if they changed something around. In anycase....it was rather.....disturbing...hehehe

Not disturbing to me, but then I like merging ages when I'm bored anyway.

The sequence prefix is colliding with another Age. Change it when you compile Drizzle and it should work.

I looked and the files for Phil's Relto are missing, besides the .age .sum and .fni

Uru probably deleted them. It does that. If it finds a sequence prefix collision, it will often delete one of the two ages, (whichever it doesn't like, I guess) in whole or in part.

Andy, those conversions of Tsogal are great.
Just the collision of visions makes all sorts of scenarios come to life.

Can you get into them? Do they support life -- I.e. can you walk around, or do you fall through.

Of course, i don't know any of the ramifications suggested by these aberrations, but they really look exciting to me.

Another piece of advice: when modifying ANY game or program, you should always make a back up copy of your install first : copy it to another place on your hard drive, or copy it to a blank CD or DVD. Will save you countless hours of heart ache and grief down the road. :D
