I'm not sure what the problem is, but you can use this bat file:
http://alcugs.almlys.org/trac/browser/drizzle/Drizzle.bat?format=txt
Just put it in the same folder as DrizzlePrp.jar and start the Drizzle.bat file.

I'm glad you like it rubimai! In July 2010 you'll be looking at the fireworks! (They're working now, but you need to collect all the sparklies, of course ;)

It doesn't get said enough, but you guys (and gals) are doing AMAZING work! Of course now we'll get it into our heads that their isn't anything you can't do.

Ok, so it seems I have a problem with memory. How much physical memory does drizzle21.jar require to operate? I had gone into command prompt, put in the code (I basically did a chdir to the folder where drizzleprp.jar was, and then put in the code that you had in the batch file, which gave me this error:

Error occured during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

Anyway, the physical memory is probably the problem. Would 512MB (with needed processes taken out of that, lets say 150MB always being used, even in Safe Mode, which does let me load drizzleprp.jar without trouble. Just not the one that needs more memory to work right) be appropriate? Or do I need more?

In my tests, you should be able to go all the way down to 400MB if you have 32bit Windows. If you have 512MB of RAM, you *might* be able to do it. Change the 800 number in that file I posted to a 400 and try it.

I have 512 MB of Ram using XP Pro, and Uru works fine through Drizzle.

Thanks. That got it working for me. Great job with everything, by the way.

As for why it may not have worked too well, this computer is fairly archaic. It's so old, I can't remember how old it is. But think about when a 40GB hard drive was pretty close to average in laptops. And that's why I can't just go and upgrade it. Anyway, thanks again for all the help.

Small glitch I encountered after installing 2.9: Not only do the bird and circle platform yeesha pages no longer work, but my stone circle and wedges have also dissapeared. I tried linking back to the cleft a second time, but that didn't do anything. The fire pit was gone, and there was no way for me to get the relto book a second time. It's like the Offline KI was never installed. On an unrelated topic, is there anywhere I can go to download and convert MOUL ages? I started playing Uru after GameTap dropped the project and never had access to it.

You can't download the Myst V data, but it can be had for a song on EBay, or at least the cost of a CD on iTunes. Currently there are several "Buy it Now" for less than $10. I think that would be well worth the cost, as the Myst V ages are great in Drizzle.

Myst V on Ebay

EDIT - Sorry for the misread. I see now you were looking for MOUL. Nevermind. Meanwhile, if somebody needs Myst V for a good price, check the link above.

Unfortunately no, the only way to have gotten them was to be apart of MOUL at the time it was live and to have had the foresight to grab the files before the Gametap client deleted them. At this time MOUL is still copyrighted content and is subject to those restrictions. I'm not saying that they're not floating out there somewhere on the internet, I'm just saying we can't legally give them to you.

I hope you understand.

Starting with 2.9 you have to reconvert the MOUL files to get those back. Those files have been moved from the Offline-KI into Drizzle, which is better from both a copyright perspective and because it now includes sparklies and the other two Yeesha pages. Oh, and I've sent you a PM.
