Offline KI

[Yali]

Well, I added the Available Links file to the Uru directory. Now I get no message, but I still see a black void in the crater and I link to the Cleft instead of the volcano. Is the black void supposed to be there?

Nope, I use XP. I even converted the Myst V data three times to possibly correct an order problem. I converted the stuff first, installed the Offline KI, etc. Could it be that I need to link to the Cleft with my KI? But how? How do I do that without having to complete the whole bloody game? Shouldn't the MOUL Cleft pedestal be in Relto?

Yeah, you'll need to go get your KI and then come back if you want to link to Descent. It can be thought of as a reward for completing the ABM journey. I think most people still have their savegame, but if you didn't save yours, you can always cheat a little with flymode to get the 4 pedestals quicker.

Aw shucks. Does anyone have a save game file copy they could give me? I'm too swamped with school to deal with solving the ABM journey (not to mention, it would be like the 12th time I'd do it).

Yali, open up your ULMLinkBook.inf file, in the Main directory of Uru.

It should look something like this:

Code: Select all

[Book 1]
link:Serene,Serene,LinkInPointDefault,,,

link:Bimevi,Bimevi,LinkInPointDefault,,,

link:Ulteemah,Ulteemah,LinkInPointDefault,Ulteemah,,(default)

link:trebivdil,trebivdil,LinkInPointDefault,trebivdil,,(default)

Just add a new line:

Code: Select all

link:Cleft,Cleft,LinkInPointDefault,Cleft,,(default)

And it'll put a link to your cleft on your bookshelf in that slot. No need to go through the game again.

Nope, didn't work. My books stayed the same. For some reason I have a Book 0. Is that normal?

[diafero]

Yeah, the file GPNMilano mentioned is no longer read by the Offline KI, it is the ULM file. You could try editing the ULMServerLinkBook.inf file according to the technical instructions for the Offline KI.

At last, I was able to instal OfflineKI and Drizzle. It works perfectly, even the jump into the vulcano. But I have some questions;

1. You can't operate any device in the ages in Myst5, is that correct? (falling through the elevators etc.)

2.In Relto on the upper bookshelf appeared at first two books on the places 14 and 16. In both books there is a non clickable void. What are these books?

3.When I visited Myst5 ages, on return to Relto there was a book on place 17 upper shelf, is tis ok?

4.On the lower bookshelf place 15 is empty, while there should be a book according to the ULMServerLinkBook.inf file.
Is this an error or something else?

5.Last question, when I try to convert my moul ages with Drizzle, I get an error; tos.txt file is missing.
Now I had deleted some files when Moul stopped to clean up the HD, but I saved all the files in .dat, .python, .sdl and .sfx. Can someone provide me with the tos.txt file or do I need some more files?

Regards,
Frits

1. Yes, it is, these don't work for various reasons

2. The rightmost four places of the upper row can all be filled using the Offline KI and linking to Jalak, Minkata, the Pods and Direbo (just as ages like Kadish or Er'cana, these now register a book in your Relto). If you already used the old Moul offline distribution, the ages you visited then will still be registered. Usually, they should not display a void though, but a linking panel. If you are sure you installed the whole KI correctly, could you exit the game right after seeing the void and then upload your Python.0.elf somewhere?

3. See 2, you registered Direbo. It should give you an animated flyby here.

4. Place 15, which one is that? All the books are only shown if you have the age they contain installed, so you obviously don't have this one.

5. I think it just uses the tos file to check if this is really a MOUL installation, so if you are sure it is, just create an empty tos.txt in there.

Offline KI 2.6 is now available. You can download it not only from the website, but also by using the Drizzle UAM (version 16 or higher).
Changes compared to version 2.5.3:
- better method for starting avatar emotes which also works with special avatars (thanks to D'Lanor)
- added missing "/blowkiss" emote
- loads Race's additions
- Added more /set options in hood: webcam, newyear, thanksgiving and fireworks
Please let me know if it works, and if you have further ideas which SDL variables I could allow to be changed via /set

can anyone upload a full MOUL dat folder anywhere?

i think many people like me, had it but deleted all of it......
