The Cavern Is Open! Can't post in General News

[electroglyph]

What I wanted to say is the cavern is open! http://mystonline.com/en/ but I can't seem to post in some of the forums.

So, can I sign up and download the online ages?
If I do will it wipe out all the fan ages I've loaded through Drizzle?
Should and how do I do a seperate install?

Ehem, that's old news by now

Just follow the instructions on that size you linked. it will give you a separate installation of Uru, your offline installation with the fan-ages and everything Drizzle converted will not be touched.

Thanks and sorry for the repeat. I'm having real trouble getting kicked to google image search every time I try to visit the homepage. I keep having to delete the link from history and type http://www.guildowriters.com manually each time I visit. Makes it really hard to keep coming here and search the forums.

I did a search for cavern and got a gazillion hits about "has anyone created part of the cavern?"I really did try to look for the topic before I posted. Search would be more useful if we could put quotes around whole phrases like "Real Myst" and get only those topics.

Can I copy the library and neighborhood ages out of the online files?

You can't post in General News because all the "news" forums require special permissions to start a new topic. I'm having a little trouble getting here sometimes, too. It gives me the ask.com search results for http://www.forum.guildofwriters.com, despite the fact that I never use ask.com...

I always use the direct link to http://forum.guildofwriters.com/ which never made any problems for me - weird.

Not sure what you mean - are you speaking about copying the MOUL files to your POTS folder? That won't work. After all, it's the whole point of Drizzle to convert from the MOUL format to the POTS format because they are incompatible

But yes, you can use the Moulagain files in place of the Moul files when converting with Drizzle. No need to make any copies, just point Drizzle's Moul folder to Moulagain, and it's Pots folder to your offline game.

Thanks!
Downloade the whole installer from one of the texas mirrors and installed onto the desktop (Vista's a bitch)
Been trying on and off to set up a password so I can play online.
In the meantime, I ran the moul importer and sound decompressor from drizzle. Works fine. I've been running around in the desert all day looking for holes.
