I figured I'd get this post started. I'm writing a mod that works with Ago's Mod Loader that will give you the ability to configure working portals from within the game. This will be the main thread for this mod when it's released, but for now I'm looking for some ideas and feedback to use during the initial development. What I have so far: A working override for the PortalQuestion code (as in, I can already hijack portal actions and hard-code working portals in the mod as it is). A data encoding scheme that stores all data for the mod in existing fields on the portal itself. TL;DR: Everything is done in-game and stored in your database. All changes will be live, nothing will need a reboot/reset of the server to make work (except for a few advanced things I'll get to later) Current feature list in design: *This may change in development!* Same-server point-to-point travel. (i.e. set an X/Y and go) Cross-server travel (set an X/Y and server ID) Kingdom features (Allow only XX Kingdom, Convert To XX Kingdom) Set specific kingdoms or prompt from a list. Epic-style "separate" player files (if possible in WU) Item limits (old style portals) Individual portal cool downs (still a WIP idea) List of spawn points instead of X/Y List of alliance spawn points (WIP idea) Server Listing (instead of just setting server ID) Advanced features will require the use of portalsmod.properties and a restart of the server to incorporate (though I might see about reloading this file in-game... I have to look into that) Specify a list of villages, spawn points, etc for a specific portal to show (this will be based on the portal's WurmID) These are all of the things I'm going to be working on implementing now that I have the data storage finished. Feel free to request features and I'll see what I can do.

"I'm not skill dumping or any of that crap" ... "I'll take offers from serious people who know me." Maybe you should send the WTS text only to people you know and not post it on a public forum?

work in progress

This is a new series of posts, mainly for my own benefit where I am going to record my progress on a new server that is using a map which I created, called Crater Lake. http://www.rheyansgaming.com/crater-lake-01-a-brief-tour-of-the-map/

I have sorted the commands list a little bit, and i hope its usefull for you, if something is wrong pls let me know For your own textcolor that you can set with the command #chat <integer-number> you can use the following jar-file to convert rgb to integer color numbers. Thanks to GiuseppeP: https://www.dropbox....Colors.jar?dl=1 The Topic for working as GM and some good hints, you can find here If your server is busy, then you will soon need a good team. CA - Communitie Assistant People answer the questions for the game CM - Chatmoderator People who ensure compliance with your rules in the chatrooms GM - Game master People actively help your players, for example: bugs or stuckingm creating terrain and so on You have 5 tiers you can assign as GM´s (Level 1-5) with varying abillities, pls look at this post from MamaDarkness http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/131468-wu-gm-functions-discussion/#entry1350666 You can setup your GM team at the Server interface at the tab called "Players" At hostes servers please look at the depending configuration Ingame you can set the player power with your wand: The player have to be online Activate your ebony wand Rightclick the wand and go to "server" + "manage player powers" The new GM have now the given power but still no wand He/she can relog and should get the related wand (or after a server restart) you can spawn the wand with your ebony wand the new gm can use the give command (look below)...for other wands except the ebony, you have to find the correct item id, sorry i dont know it atm To toggle CA or CM staff members use this commands as GM 2 or above #toggleca playername #setmuter playername CM COMMANDS LIST right click a player in the chat to issue some comannds, you can also use the mutetool, best is to make a keybind bind <key> mutetool #chat <int color> - colors your chat so that players understand that it is formal.

Currently wine barrels are very nice decorative items, the trouble is that if you keep wine in a good QL barrel it does not age well at all. A bit of a contradiction really and thus the following two changes are proposed: 1. Allow material contained in wine barrels to decay as if offdeed. 2. Accelerate this decay based on wine barrel QL (QL% increase)

I thought this made a nice screenshot... Mother horse and new foal with a baby lamb to boot.

Look what I found in my world Not sure if its hard to code this in, but the texture is no problem as you can see

Every time I improve and item I want to see what the resulting quality is. [10:44:35] You must use a file to smooth out the "Dwarvenstone Keep" in order to improve it. When the action is completed the next action required to improve is sent to the client. But my compulsive nature forces me to examine the item again to see the quality reached. This request is sent to the server every time. My suggestion is to add a quality notice to the end of the result so I dont have to send that request to the server. [10:44:35] You must use a file to smooth out the "Dwarvenstone Keep" in order to improve it (Ql: 37.89035, Dam: 0.0) This will save the trouble of examining the item. It saves the server from processing the request. It saves time and will probably improve performance when you think of hundreds of players not having to send examine requests during crafting. While you are there, go ahead and add it to the repair result as well. [10:55:12] You repair the "Dwarvenstone Keep" (Ql: 37.0005, Dam: 0.0). Thoughts?

No idea who you are so.. .not gonna even bother...

Any fellow Wurmians out there participating in NaNoWriMo this month? Have your novel ideas already lined up? Going to just wing it? Interested in being buddies? Was just curious if anyone else was going to be partaking this year.

Hi Everyone, I'd like to say thank you for all the input you've given us over the week of this discussion, There has certainly been a lot of input and there is a lot to go over, I'll be locking this thread now while we look at possible options. We will let you know of any changes prior to them going live. Regards, Retrograde

dumb idea the better suggestion would be to remove converting from WL to BL.

I consider gaining skill in windows of opportunity to be cheating and unbalanced but that won't prompt me to quit, ie changing meditation paths over and over to reset your meditation cool-down allowing you to get more skillbearing meditation chances per day and then get rewarded for exposing this to staff after your friends have all profited. Those who threaten to quit over an item they can obtain if they really want to by using legal means should really question why they play this game. Not every squeaky wheel needs grease, some just need to be replaced. Leave the fountain containers the way they are and let natural decay and account attrition/deed disbands do their jobs. High value items that have been in the game for years do more for the economy than they hurt the game. Fixing something that is not broken is a complete waste of development time. You could be changing the 0 to a 1 so kingdom chiefs can change their titles, we can see the code now there are no more excuses for ineptitude.

Server Name: Sharkland PvE 24/7 | Custom Map | Faster Skill/Action Server Hostname: sharkey.pw Fellow Wurm Unlimited pioneers, listen up! We just finished setting up our new server, Sharkland! Here's a brief list of what you'd expect to see if you decide to join us: Custom Map! (4096x4096 - 4km2) (Click here to view) All biomes, resources, and vegetation types included from the get-go. Resources are relatively evenly distributed throughout the map. Fully populated with trees/bushes of all types, as time goes on the distribution will even out as trees organically spread. Generally flat land (It still has detail/character unlike most custom maps!)... Nobody likes 60-slope mountain sides. Multitude of inland lakes, perfect for Wurmians looking to settle on the water-front. Accepting skill dumps from Wurm Online (see below) Starter town with roadways spanning most of the southern land. More GM-plotted road infrastructure may be laid out within the next few days based on public opinion. Nightly automated map-dump available at http://sharkey.pw with an archive. After 1 week of testing it will be live. A starter settlement has been founded, and we have branched roads in 4 directions. As you can see on the map, two of these roads extend to the oceans while the others taper off towards harder to traverse terrain. You should have no problems finding a promising on this map, it's huge! There's much to explore, and a lot of work to be done in terms of infrastructure and safe travel for players. We hope we can bloom this into a thriving community of players. As time moves on, we are looking into producing some custom modifications to let our server stand out. Get in on the action now to secure a comfortable future on Sharkland servers! At this time, we are currently accepting skill dumps/transfers from Wurm Online if you can provide justified proof. If this is something you are interested in, please add me on Steam or send me a PM on these forums. You'll be required to send some proof such as screenshots of your in-game skill window. We are trying to gauge interest in this server. We know there's quite a few out there, but we want to make players feel like they have a home that isn't going away in a few weeks. We have dedicated, scale-able server resources with a guarantee of great performance. If this kicks off, we are looking forward to adding PvP aspects to neighboring worlds, a sustainable economy, and much more. Let us know what you think! If you'd like to contact me, you can send me a PM or more preferably add me on Steam! As a side note, we are looking for dedicated players to potentially provide some moderator support. Detailed server configuration: Max players: 200 Skill gain rate multiplier: 8.0 (2x-ish default) Characteristics/Mind/Body Control Start Value: 20.0 Fight Skill Start: 10.0 Overall Skill Start: 10.0 Action Speed Multiplier: 6.0 (2x default) Max Creatures: 90k Aggressive Creature Count: 30% Server Specs: Intel Zeon E3-1270 (8 cores @ 3.5Ghz) 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM 120GB Intel Solid State 1Gbps Link Located near Philadelphia, USA (East Coast) As you can see, we are well prepared to run this server with any amount of players you guys throw at it! The creature limit is higher than most servers to be sure you can gather all your horses. Lorhill, the start of the colonization of Sharkland PvE!

cute graphics for some common critters, but after seeing this every Halloween since it was first implemented, it's kind'a starting to get annoying - it would be really great if this could be made an optional feature that can be user selected before we have to download a completely new graphics jar just for a few days and then download another one to reset the graphics back to usual.

cmon cmon cmon cmon ,,,,, gimme the WU on Linux!

bump for awesome people

So sell a worthless item to a sucker? what high moral values you have there I do not own one but i have friends who do and i know they would not pass off a useless or dying item to some poor player unaware,it's why they have been on here in the forums fighting to keep these going, sure they invested lots of real life money but they are not in the gutters low to pass of a dying item to some poor persons unaware.

I wonder if you can reskin reeds or kelp or even lavender into one of the lower bushy varieties of bamboo: 30 Free Bamboo Texture For Your Designs Hmm if you made reskinned wood house using bambo slats / thatch roof and made a JUNGLE WORLD it might be ... fun! We need TIGERS for that. Maybe a champion wildcat can be the base model? I seem to recall them being a little bulkier in build than the mountain lion - ocelot. ** stolen from someone's webpage:

i think loaditemfromhell is changed to just loadItem in WU changemodel works in WU, i've used it.

So after another long session of fixes we found the problem! Or should I say problems, as there were likely a few issues present. Firstly, we did some tweaking with the 'Path' System Variable. Now we had already edited it as a part of our series of Java reinstalls, removing references to all java versions and ensuring it had only one reference; to the latest install. Along with this we changed the JAVA_HOME to the latest JDK install she had (1.8.0_66). Alas the errors continued. During this stage I neglected to have her edit (or add) her JRE_HOME variable, as it didn't exist and I didn't want to break anything. A couple of days ago we did this too. Still no different. We ran another update on the C++ binaries and we finally got the "Failed to load jvm.dll" error, which was really a relief as up until this point we didn't know what to be looking at. We edited the Path again and ensured that her Java directory was the first path in the variable. After a restart Wurm was working. This resulted in me concluding the following: * Steam never performed first time setup on the game for her, so I assume it detected the required software was already installed and correctly working. This was not the case. * The original issue was related to the C++ redistributables, I believe one was improperly installed or misconfigured and reinstalls from the files downloaded with the game did not work. This was fixed by downloading the updated redistributables (Step 1). * At this point the JRE_Home variable and the Path variable seem to have created issues. We had the exact "working" setup before, but discarded it as it didn't seem to work. (Due to the launcher not even start or setting up correctly?) This caused us to discard the JRE_HOME variable. Running the game with just updated binaries and the Path variable set did not work. * Reimplementing the JRE_HOME variable combined with the priority in Path and Updated Binaries resulted in the game working. The game would not run at all until all three of these fixes in place and it took a while to hit the right combination. If anyone else is still having the issue run through the following steps: 1. (IF when enabling debug=1 in the launcher config file, you do not have any console (black window) pop up when launching WU, follow this step. If you're just getting the "Failed to load jvm.dll" error, skip to 2) Head over to Microsoft's website (http://www.microsoft.com/) and download the latest 2010, 2012 and 2013 Visual C++ redistributables and install them onto your system. 2. Ensure you have a recent java install, navigate to C:\Program Files\Java, find your java JRE folder and copy the directory (For example: C:\Programs Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66) (Important to note JRE, not JDK) Open your start menu, right click 'Computer' and click on properties. Click on Advanced System Settings. Navigate to the Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables. Check for a "JRE_HOME" (Case doesn't matter) variable under System Variables, if one does not exist create it. Edit "JRE_HOME" and set the value to your JRE folder, then press ok. (The directory you copied earlier) Next locate the "Path" (Case doesn't matter) System (not user) Variable and edit it. Paste in your directory at the start of the 'value' box, add \bin; to the end. (It should look something like C:\Programs Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\bin;next\path\etc) Press ok and close out of the dialogues. Once you've followed both steps, close out of the properties and restart your computer. Try launching WU and hopefully it'll work.

Patch notes for 2015/10/31 * Increased body/mind skill gain rates. Note that we have also retroactively increased any existing skills, so if you had for example 21 body strength, you'd now have 25. (This isn't exactly what you would've got because the increase is actually non-linear, but it's a rough over estimate). * Removed priest restrictions. * Fixed looting corpses on the PvP server. * Farms should no longer turn into weeds. The Wurm server actually has two different methods for handling farm growth, and we didn't patch both. It will be fixed properly at the next reboot (likely to be tomorrow morning). * Timers are now faster again. * Fixed picking flowers. * Added more iron veins to the server, which should be more evenly spread out. * Many 'internal' changes to our client/server bytecode injection system, which should now allow future updates to be produced more quickly.

scured he becomes a WL care bear <3

Someone who is really skilled in the map editor could maybe try replicate Azeroth? I think it would make for a pretty cool 8192x8192 map. Or maybe without Pandaria and pre cataclysm:

hehe Glad everyone seems to have had a good time. A lot of work went into this one, some of it done years ago. (that mine system has been under the market for at least 4 years, it pre-dates the deliverance server) asdf the back and forth was supposed to take you across some triggers in the entry room with all of the traps to spawn mobs in either branch of the dungeon, but I didn't get those parts set up the way i wanted and as a result just scrapped that for this event. Maybe next time I use the catacombs or create something similar on another server. Jaz and WKM.. I did say it would take a lot of exploring...Maps are a big part of exploring to me, comes from growing up on games where graph paper was your only map i suppose. LoL. Gumbo, don't collect zombie parts, they have a tendency to reconnect and reanimate in strange ways. Everyone else, thank you for your comments, It is always nice to know that the event was appreciated, considering the amount of time that goes into them i hate to think it is being wasted.

Java works because it doesn't depend on expensive development software and licensing it also works independently of operating system limitations and is almost universally compatible. Java is very affordable and flexible. These things are probably very important to a very small, almost no budget game developer who wants to retain ownership of their game and not sell it out to some big-name publisher for more funding.

Has to replace the brown bear for now.

as someone who has randomly found a treasure chest on creative, they exist! (mine had 1 addy ore, 1 glimmer ore, and a seryll lump)

Characteristics seem to lag pretty heavily behind as a result.

+1

What's the end purpose, removing items that circumvent the decay process ( allowing more items in a magic chest that desired by the dev team and code ), allowing more ore to be smelted at one time ( saving time not desired by code or the dev team)? Stopping the have nots from being angry at the people who have said item?, A desire to prove that Wurm fixes all bug no matter how big or small ( lol), a need to show CC is moving in a direction that addresses every issue from every vocal side of an argument which in the end will please no one. The history of the changes made to Traders with a vocal group calling everyone that owned one eventually made the change to allow people to pick up coins off the ground, I feel the change was made to placate a portion of the player base that labeled another portion as cheating Rolf out of his hard earned money and directly stealing money from the game slowing down all future development, in the end the Kings share is still distributed, just spread out to a larger portion of the player base with Rolf not pocketing any more than before. Animal caps, way back in the Freedom days it was popular to post screenshots of animal hoarders for the practice of public shame, we not have animal caps per deed and yet you can still frolic buck naked across all of southern Xanadu with no care in the world. For years there were no dragon to kill, prior to the release of Deli on onward, the fever that caused with more dragon armor than ever started the uproar that has made current dragons drop enough to make a piece of tissue paper, back when I started in '10, I was fine knowing I'd probably never own dragon armor prior to the release of Deli on further servers. The uproar over joining Release and Pristine to the main servers Solid proof no one is ever happy or in agreement with anything. At any given time it seems some are hell bent of ideals of fairness for all players not taking into account time played, money spent or otherwise, that everything must be equal to all even if the end result is bringing down those who through no fault of their own possess more than the average player, I'll assume by the time its all over the entry level skills will start at 50 to continue to placate the players with that line of thinking.

Yeah, I think having a chicken inside the birdcage is a bit wrong.

+1 I can't see keeping a hen in a cage

i have issued a ticket. hope this problem can be solved.

You gotta decompile the class files into java files.Then edit and compile. Usually each class file is dependent on other classes and you need to properly set-up the project in IntelliJ / Eclipse / ect.. I'll try to upload a quick video or tutorial here soon that shows the process. I think I figured out how to add horse-types so that we can have all sorts of different colors and breeds without replacing anything. Demo soon *Update* Horse types added. The Mangalarga Marchador is now it's own horse and doesn't need to replace any existing horses. Technically "marchador" is considered a horse color. Just like white, black, brown, grey, gold, there is now marchador which uses the new texture. Nothing special about the marchador breed in terms of traits, it just looks nice. Should spawn at the same rate as the other horses. To test you can summon horse with the GM wand over and over until the marchador shows up. Or summon 5+ horses at once and you will probably get it. marchador uses the same random color picking method as the other horse colors. MoreAnimalsMod_1.1.0 Screenshot:

We certainly need WU to have it's own suggestion forum. I'm not fond of seeing wu request here.

I'm just wondering; What emergency has happened to make this an issue that must be dealt with now of all times? What spare time in the day did the developers at Code Club find in their schedule to take a look and spend time balancing(!) something that has been in game since August 29 2008. Are they not aware of things being severely broken in many respects right now? For some quick examples - the hunted system and the catapulting system. Or, some things that absolutely should be getting high priority right at this moment to get the Wurm Unlimited player base securely established? For example - Customization of server options, language support, mission system overhaul... and so on and so forth. I'm just so confused... why is this happening now?

right click ground, specials, set teleport marker, choose the 'online' player. then right click ground again, teleport to make it teleport. if player is offline, you can use gmtool to lookup the player data and just set an x/y value to teleport to

You could just have the forge size increase to allow 100 ore as an option too instead of a separate smelter.

It's pretty simple imo. Rename them to something else as suggested, but leave functionality the same otherwise. Now, to solve problems and allow everyone to have the benefit, continue making them useless to have. Dying things was covered, give us a smelting furnace that can smelt 100 ore, increase the size of magic chests. If people have no reason to buy fountain containers, then they will slowly die off at their own pace without upsetting anyone other than people wanting to make money off them. The only use left will be the bragging rights of a legacy item that means nothing anymore

Mine door i placed on perimeter immediately switched to enemy kingdom mayor's ownership locking us out of our own mine. >.<

It would be awesome to see some mod support in the Server code, so individual mods can co-exist, and not every mod needs to compile it's own version of the server.jar, it would also give CCAB more control over what they expose to modding and what not. Since i'm quite an apt coder myself, i took the liberty of writing an implementation for it based on the released server.jar for WU. The way i currently set it up, allows there to be a "/mods/" folder in your WU Server folder and it will check folders in there for a file called "mod.info" which is a file that describes the mod info in a token=value format. First, here is the ModHandler or ModManager class, the LoadMods method would ideally be called early in the server startup, before any functionality mods could hook into. package com.wurmonline.server; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Properties; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; public class ModHandler { private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ModHandler.class.getName()); protected static List<Mod> availableMods; protected static List<Mod> activeMods; public static void LoadMods(String modDir) { availableMods = new ArrayList<Mod>(); File modFolder = new File(modDir); File[] files; int numMods = 1; for (File file : files = modFolder.listFiles()) { if(file.isDirectory()) { String[] modFiles; for(String modFile : modFiles = file.list()) { if (modFile.equalsIgnoreCase("mod.info")) { Properties properties = new Properties(); FileInputStream stream; try { stream = new FileInputStream(modFile); properties.load(stream); } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) { logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not open mod.info file in folder " + file.toString()); } catch (IOException ex) { logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not read mod.info file in folder " + file.toString()); } Mod info = new Mod(properties.getProperty("name", "Wurm Unlimted Mod " + String.valueOf(numMods)), file.toString(), properties.getProperty("enabled", "False")); numMods++; availableMods.add(info); //Should probably have a method of enabling/disabling mods in the GUI if(info.isEnabled()) { activeMods.add(info); } } } } } } public static void initialiseItemTemplates() { for(Mod mod : activeMods) { mod.initialiseITemTemplates(); } } public static void createSpells() { for(Mod mod : activeMods) { mod.createSpells(); } } public static void createCreatureTemplates() { for(Mod mod : activeMods) { mod.createCreatureTemplates(); } } } Secondly, the Mod class, which will contain information about the mod, and run the actual modifications the mod made: package com.wurmonline.server; class Mod { public String modName; public boolean enabled = false; public String folder; Mod(String name, String folder, String enabled) { this.modName = name; this.folder = folder; this.enabled = Boolean.parseBoolean(enabled); } public String getModName() { return modName; } public boolean isEnabled() { return enabled; } public String getFolder() { return folder; } void initialiseITemTemplates() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); } void createSpells() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); } void createCreatureTemplates() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); } } Lastly, in server.startRunning, we call the modHandler equivalent for functionality we want to expose to modding, after we executed the standard WU functionality like such: ItemTemplateCreator.initialiseItemTemplates(); ModHandler.initialiseItemTemplates(); SpellGenerator.createSpells(); ModHandler.createSpells(); CreatureTemplateCreator.createCreatureTemplates(); ModHandler.createCreatureTemplates(); I'm looking for feedback, suggestions and if there is any chance of this getting implemented in the code. If there is enough support for this, i can start writing documentation/ work this out further.

Do us a favor and apply for a position in the artist team.

Having played around 10 years now, I have seen quite alot of odd things created in wurm. All have at one point or another been reported as bugs. Through out the history of wurm the devs have demed some things bad for the game and removed them. others they have considered harmless and left ingame. At one point a sword was created from water. it worked as a regular sword and and had no other abilities, it was considered harmless and left ingame. One year we got farwalksers for christmas, they where considred silly by most and sold for 50c pr 100 charges, years later they sold for 3 euro pr charge due to the boost they gave in pvp. some time ago they where changed so they cant be used with enemies in local, and lost most of their value, I still have more than 160 charges of them, and I think it was a really good thing they got changed. There are weapons with both LT and RT around, those id rather see removed instead of fountain containers who where reported as bugs years ago, demed harmless and left ingame. Though out the history of wurm, so many odd things have happned. I like to collect stuff, I use fountain containers to store it in. if they are removed and I have to spend 1k euro on magic chests instead I wont be interested in that part of the game anymore, its simply not worth it. Fountain containers are a harmless glitch that old farts like me have come to like very much. Calling me an exploit abuser, isnt really producing a productive conversation. I do belive there are more urgent matters who can be looked uppon that wont upset the group of players who kept supporting wurm, after gold 1 was whiped without a backup, the fight fix, the opening of pvp on pve servers, the destruction of JK home, and all those other things that has happned along the way. I do like playing wurm, alot, else I wouldnt have stuck here for so long, but changing a thing like this in the same catagory as the above mentioned,

Id like to see that post as well, if someone can find it, in regards saying the Dev's wont remove it. I find it hilarious that you troglodytes who yell "good riddance!" to something that has -zero- impact on your gameplay. You are likely the same people who complain other people make more money that you. I do love this lose/lose scenario that Code Club keeps putting itself in though, with no forethought as to the negative response they'll get from players that are likely your most loyal (and premium). I'd like to know how many hold multiple premium accounts as well. Each decision more and more is lulz. I even fail to see the real business direction at times, as there's so many other options to retain, gain and grow this game without alienation and extremely poor PR/communication that's become the norm, along with feature testing (the lack of). I love this game, but there's some compounding issues that have never been resolved. This coming from a 2004 player without the item in question.
