What I meant was the .prp file for the Relto page is in the dat folder and I can see the Page in my Relto book for the associated prp file, The Relto page still lights up when I touch it but the actual addition to Relto does not appeare after I relink.
None of the Pages work for for me some reason could I have unknowingly disabled my Relto pages?

and somebody swiped my Keg :twisted: :evil:

If there is a Relto page which is not on DI UAM, and you'd like to see it added, just tell me where I get it ;-) . I am sorry if I missed you announcing an update/a new page. I don't read each and every post here anymore, but if I upload something, I generally say so in the thread with the announcement. So, if I do not reply with something like "I uploaded the new (version of the) age/Relto page to the Shard and UAM" after a week, feel free to send me a PM or (even better) an email remembering me.

Now, for the Relto pages in the book not working: Does this happen only offline, or also on DI Shard?
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

The Relto Page that seemed to have vanished from all the UAM servers is here I uploaded it to Dustin Server late in 2011 after he inquired about them.
So they where on the UAM. the question is when did they vanish, and what where the environmental factors involved.
Any body up for a new puzzle :D

The Relto pages in the book issue only happen with the offline version, in addition its only the fan made pages that are disabled, Cyans pages work fine

That's weird, I mirrored the entire UAM back when I created the DI version of it. And actually, Dustin's UAM still does not contain this page, so maybe he never added it?

This could be caused by leftovers from the UAM KI plugin. That plugin changes the inner workings of the Offline KI in weird ways, using functions which were never meant to be exposed to the outside.
Please uninstall the plugin, the Offline KI has its own code for handling Relto pages.

I installed the keg on the Shard. However, before I put it in UAM, I have a few qeustions:
- The descriptor file does not give the Relto page a user-visible name, so the KI uses the page's filename, which is ugly. I set it to "Keg of D'ni Lake Water". Is that okay?
- The descriptor contains the command to hide two previously existing objects from the age: CyansObjectName1 and CyansObjectName2. However, none of these exist. Should I just remove that line, or is there really something you want to hide?
- The page adds a light in a way which makes the Relto hut door look really weird - do you plan to fix that?

I can help you with the description file part - at least I know what the individual fields do. So if you have any questions there, just ask ;-)

I do not think it vanished - it simply was never added. I mirrored Dustin's UAM in January 2012, and added updates which were posted afterwards, but I assumed he had a complete collection of current ages and pages to start with (except for those ages that were DI-exclusive, of course). However, this Relto page was not amongst the ones his UAM offered.

I think the one I have here is the first version Keg 1.0, Keg 2.0 had a few updates involving the particle systems and sound,

I also remember not being able to figure out how to keep the particle system off until it was turned off.
All I was able to do is make it invisible when you turn it off, but when you link in to Relto the Particle system was already running.
I think Keg 2.0 has the sound file and the on off valve working and animated, but got lost in the shuffle somewhere

However thats all water under the bridge at this point............no pun intended, the Bahro must have took the Keg and used the water to make coffee or something.
Lucky for me im almost as bad as Randi Miller, I keep copies of everything :lol: :D

I'll start working on Keg 3.0, add a light region to keep Relto Hut from looking weird, maybe a camera region to see the valve and hot spots a bit better
and I think I might hafta shorten the lifespan of the particle so it dont keep running after it hits the drain,
and If any one knows how to control the particle system better so it stays off until turned on instead of being on until turned off, although not necessary it would be a big help.

Thanks in advance
