I just started my server.Got all the scripts to compile and it says pol is active.I go to login and get past the username and password,but when I select the server to play it says connecting and stays at that screen.

Anyone know what I may be doing wrong ??

That's usually a client version problem.

If you have that port accepting 2.0.0b client, then that's what you have to run to connect.

See \pkg\character\uoclient.cfg

Code: Select all

Listener
{
   Port         7011
   Encryption   none
}
Listener
{
   Port         2593
   Encryption   2.0.0
}

If you are running a client on port 7011 then you need to have uoriced it first.
If port 2593 then you need v2.0.0b of the client.

If you are running the normal patched client from OSI, then it needs to be uoriced to remove the 'encryption'.

I have my client uoriced and have the encrytion on my connecting port set to none.I have also tried it set to uorice but the results were the same.

It just gets past the server selection and hangs there.

Is there anything displayed on the console - eg unknown packet received?

4 files have to line up to work.

on client:
login.cfg
LoginServer=serveripaddress,2593

on server:
pol.cfg

Code: Select all

ListenPort=0
ClientEncryptionVersion=none

servers.cfg

Code: Select all

GameServer
{
   Name      Server Name
   IP      ipaddress
   Port      2593
}

uoclient.cfg

Code: Select all

Listener
{
   Port      2593
   Encryption   none
}

I had all my port settings to 5003 but even when I changed them to 2593 it still hangs at the connecting screen after choosing a server. I also had the server port in the listener line instead of 0 as you wrote,but even changing it to 0 didn't change the results.

I've tried completely removing and reinstalling the distro,WOD files and that didn't make a difference either so it has to be something little that I am overlooking.

There's something amiss.
Chances are you could try uoricing your client again to be sure.

If you are behind a firewall you will have to do a port passthrough. If you have a router you will have to forward the port.

Hope this helps.

Already tried the UOrice on my client again with no success.Still hanging after I select the server.

Also the firewall isn't up on my system and since I'm running it from the local machine I doubt the router would have anything to do with it.

Kinda lost here.Been trying all sorts of things with no success.

I can run the full distro of pol 095, but then I can't get the WOD files installed and I really want to play around with them,so I'd like to get this distro working.

Thanks for all the advice and I'll keep trying

I had so much trouble with this that I was about ready to rip my hair out. But the fix is simple enough. On the server:

\pkg\character\uoclient.cfg
Change:

Code: Select all

EnableFlowControlPackets    1

To:

Code: Select all

EnableFlowControlPackets    0

And you can now connect with a 4.x.x client.
