Linking book from within Age not working...

[boblishman]

Thanks guys! .... a massive THANK YOU !

I'll replace the file and let you know how it goes!!

EDIT: YAH! ... (kinda) ... now I get the linking book GUI opening, although it says inside the book "This Age is not installed" ... and there is no hot spot on the black swirling linking panel...

the last lines of the python0.log read:

... any ideas?...

[Nadnerb]

Ah, the 'age not installed thing' is just an old feature used for ages that were actually downloaded and installed by the UruAgeManager program. In order to check what ages were on the system, it used a text file (UruAgeManager.int) containing info about ages that UAM had downloaded. I don't believe that ULM uses the same system, so that "installed/not installed" message is essentially meaningless. If the age files are in the dat folder, the link should work anyway.

Edit: aaand you edited your post while I wrote mine. I'll modify the file to bypass the check and upload it in a sec.

Edit2: and the file:

Edit3: removed.

Thanks Nanerb, your help is really appreciated...

unfortunately I'm still getting the same thing with the new file... no hot spot... and the python0.log still reads

Hmm. on further inspection, it seems that UAM needs this file so it can get the correct spawn point, since you don't pass a spawn point when calling useAgeBook. Soooo, let's try something different. Go back to using the complete UruAgeManager.py file, but place the attached UruAgeManager.int file in the program directory. (along with the UruExplorer.exe and such)

Nadnerb .... YOU ARE A STAR!!!

(does happy dance!) ... YES, it works! ...

I know this is is going to be SO helpful to those people without python skills ... so a HUGE thank you from all of us.

[Trylon]

Just a small warning: this is still a hack all in all.
Especially the neccessity of including uruagemanager.int, makes it a bit hard to distribute to others.

If I get around to it I'll try to post some example code on how to do it without deprecated UAM code.

...that would be REALLY appreciated... (especially by novices like me!)
