How do I do that? Is it easy or does it take time?

Also, the fly events are controlled by SDL variables. You'll have to have a copy of the Uru.Live.9 city.sdl file.

Not for the ones around Keraths Arch.

Also, Jamey, you need to update the sum file. Or else they won't show up at all.

That's not true. The folder is the name of the avatar, in ASCII-valued form. However, since you're making a change that would affect all avatars it's a good idea to remove the sav files for each avatar anyway.

Would all of this work any differently if I was adding something different, such as tables in Kirel, or stained glass in Bevin?


(I'm clueless on how to do all this X_X )

Jamey, Unfortunately, the kirel tables, the stained glass etc were all part of the mainroom of their respective ages. And converting the age with Drizzle will screw up the regions. Essentially killing all your camera regions, some of your clickables, some of your footstep sound regions, etc. Hence why I imported the ages into blender and made new PRPs with the objects not existing in the CC edition. Its safer than trying to import the entire age and having the age crash on you.

See, not impossible. You just need to be fluent in ASCII-valued representations... :D

Ahhhhhhh....now I see how this works :)

I do hope you plan on making a tutorial to show us how to do that kind of stuff. (If you have, I have no idea where it is)

I am. Unfortunately I went through importing nearly every prp in the game before I found the easy way to make the importer ignore the missing physicals.

Okay, impossible for those not fluent in ASCII-valued representations. Which would be me.

But you should just delete all the personal.sav files because it is a global change.

Also if you can import the PRPs for the city, its a good idea to delete that sav file as well.
