Drizzle21 (includes UruAgeManager)

[Abel]

Let me do my best to fully understand the way this works.
I am using Drizzle21, along with the offline KI download as well as the Nocd Patch and whatnot. I converted Myst5 easily, but the original machine that contained my MOUL files has gone to the scrapyard.
I attempted to use what I had, the Uru CC, Myst5, and the Offline KI, however I expirience some issues.
Each section of the city is blocked by an invisible wall as if the barriers still existed, i can do /goto to reach different sections. The sparkie section of my relto does not exist, yet the mist around where the island should be is moved away in the shape of the island. I used the command /getyeeshapages and obtained all the pages, however, the pages that would be attributed with MOUL, the birds, storm, bench and so forth, do not work. Finally, when attempting to use a book in the city, for instance, Jalak Dador, I can see the book, open it, but when i touch the panel, it tells me that the age is missing on the computer, pretty much.

So is it safe to assume that without those precious MOUL files, i'm hosed? Because the KI works like it would, minor changes have happened in each age like in MOUL, like Nexus books in the ABM ages.

When I reconvert the ages I get an error; can't find; Ubi Soft\Cyan Worlds\Moul - Ages\dat\Neighborhood2.fini.
Thats right becouse this file is in; Ubi Soft\Cyan Worlds\Uru - Ages beyond Myst\dat\Neighborhood2.fini.
What is going wrong here?

Frits

@Abel: The missing sparkly island is caused by you no longer having the MOUL files, that is correct. However the invisible blockers are a different matter and a bug - does anyone else experience this? I'll also have to test whether the current developer version still shows this behaviour - I hope to fix it for version 2.9.1 though.

@Frits: Please double-check the "MOUL folder" in the MOUL Conversion tab, it is obviously wrong.

@Abel: You need to convert the MOUL files with Drizzle 21 to see all the Reltopages and go to Jalak, Minkata and other ages. And...you got a PN.

So, great job with everything, it's working great for me. Despite a few missing age files, but that's no biggie. It's one of the pods, and I'm having a little bit of trouble with downloaded ages (my only complaint there is that it seems to list all the restoration ages, not just the ones I've downloaded. Otherwise, I like the interface) and until I figure out how exactly those pods work (I understand the whole turning it on thing, but not how to call the creatures. I'll get it eventually), it doesn't matter. Also, is there any way to remove pictures/journals from imagers, such as my Relto imager, or the ones in the guild halls?

[diafero]

The "Restoration Ages" tab in Nexus lists only the ages you have installed - i.e. the ages of which the .age file exists. If you can see all of them, you either for some reason have all these files... or you are playing online, where the KI expects a dataserver to serve all the ages

There is a really weird way to remove all pictures form an imager - and it's not by us, Cyan is to blame . I'm not completely sure, burt AFAIK you need to send a text note to the imager with the text "cleardaimager" - perhaps someone else can confirm or correct this?

cleardaImager

the I is uppercase, everything else is lowercase... Assuming that's in the original Uru. I know it's in MOUL.

Kept having to clearda crap off the Writer's Pub imager...

Ok, I'll go ahead and try that out tonight. I know that it sure was ahnnoying (heh heh, MOUL bad poetry contest reference) to have all of my KI pictures always showing up on my imager. My computer isn't the fastest (by far), so it led to long load times for Relto. That, plus the several folders labeled "KI Images from (insert date here)." And I noticed that uploading a second note effectively got rid of the first in the Guild imagers (I wanted to try it out. Fun stuff).

I'm playing offline, so I don't know why it isn't totally working right. Eh, I'll figure it out eventually. If I could want just one more thing, it would definitely be the Wall. Man, that thing just seems so awesome. Did anyone else notice that if you go into the Wall chamber using flymode, and then disable flymode, it crashes the game? I had just wanted to see if there were collisions there, and it crashed me for no reason. But that was long ago.

I'm sad I never got to experience the online factor of Uru. I don't think I ever got UU, though I wanted to, and by the time I learned of MOUL, they had already announced the shutdown. Well, the bright side is that I couldn't have played MOUL anyway. Stupid old computer.

I thought the images only went there if you added them to your imager...
