Download and convert MOUL??

I have Path of the Shell loaded (via Drizzle) with all the fan-created ages. It pays just fine. When MOUL was cancelled, however, I made the mistake of deleting those files from my computer. Now, I'd like to add back the MOUL files through Drizzle. I downloaded (through bittorrent) a huge file labelled "MOUL (not playable)." I was hoping that meant that it would not play as a stand-alone, but that it would let me add it through Drizzle to my Path of the Shell set-up. Anyway, I went through the conversion steps using Drizzle, and got a message that said everything had converted just fine. So, I logged on to Path of the Shell--still no problems. Went to the City. Still no problems. Went up to the museum and saw the linking books there to, among other things, the age where you look out the windows into the forest. Then, I went to the library and saw another linking book to an age I just don't remember. I tried linking there and a error message said my installation was defective and to please reinstall URU. I tried linking to one other age that I remember being in MOUL and got just a black screen (with a cursor that would move, but no progress bar). So, I guess my question is: is what I am trying to do just impossible or am I doing it wrong?

EDIT--at least some of the MOUL ages are working. I got to the age where you look out of the glass window into the forest, for example. And there is moving electronic billboard sign in the courtyard of the City that advertises a certain age is available, so at least some things are working.

is it possible that you tried the Myst V ages?

Yeah, it sounds like you tried to link to Releeshan or Todelmer, which you need to convert Myst5 to get. If Drizzle gave no errors and you are able to link to Negilahn (that forest Age), then MOUL should all be fine.

Me wonders if there is a good and comprehensive list for all the MOUL stuff (ages and items/locations) that can be found with Drizzle ?

I am thinking of something similar to the Texana's Goodie list on Mystonline forums.

Guild of Greeters I believe still has a MOUL walkthrough on their site.

Yes they have but the problem is that with the changes added to the Drizzle/Offline KI version(s) its not as user friendly as it could be.

ie: linking books locations (a few changes)

1- For new comers. here is a link to the Guild of Greeters "random" walkthroughs for the last Uru Live version...

2- Texana's Goodie list...

Thank you diafero. I had missed the fact that the page had been updated. :oops:

That page Diafero links to also contains all the Drizzle stuff not in the MOUL walkthrough, so between that and the MOUL walkthrough pdf file (which is *excellent*, by the way), you should have everything you need! (Indeed, that wiki page began life as a certain walkthrough of mine ;)
