Would it be possible to port this to offline with Drizzle?


While you are waiting for a porting you can edit "ULMServerLinkBook.inf" in the root folder of your offline Uru by yourself. Simply overwrite one of the book entries like that:

Code: Select all

[Book]
cover:Elodea
age:Elodea
age:ElodeasSchatzkammern
age:ElodeasTunnelgang
age:ElodeasUnterwelt


Make sure you use the filenames, found in "\img\AgeInfo" for example, not the display names.
For the "cover" entry you have to look into "\img" and take one of those filenames and omit the "CoverImage_[...].jpg" text. This entry isn't necessary.

Each time you click on "Ages: Get Latest List" in Drizzle this file is overwritten! So a backup copy may be helpful.

There also exists a KI command to modify your bookshelf in-game, but I can't recall it. :(

Thank you Jogi...it didn't work :lol: except it should have been working

It's not because of you, I obviously tried something customised thinking I could beat the system :lol:.

I then decided to use my good ol' Mother-of-all-solutions: copy & paste what's working, I went to my Deep Island folder, copied the "ULMServerLinkBook.inf" file, and pasted it over in my URU:CC install. I opened URU and it worked. I then opened the file just to see that apart from a small inversion in page order, your solution is like the file on the Deep Island server.

And don't forget the Father in some cases, who says "Always make a backup copy of the original file before you modify it."

Thank you, Annabelle, thank you very much. ;)
Now everybody here knows that you are much cleverer than I am. :? :lol:

Updating that file offline requires updating the Offline KI, not sure if that's worth it. Actually, that book is an interim solution, but I am not sure when I will find a better one ;-)
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

And I thought I was the "weakest link" in here... ;) ...and I did create a folder named: /backup in the roots of my URU:CC install where I put the file (done since yesterday in fact).
