    UltimaLive

    Early versions had flickering / flashing black. I can't say for the latest clients. Later versions (0.97 & 0.98 maybe earlier) corrected this by calling a different internal method on the client.

    Requiring NDA for ServUO code?

    Moving ServUO to AGPL would avoid these types of scenarios altogether.

    Requiring NDA for ServUO code?

    Companies regularly use and modify GPL code internally without ever releasing it. This is not a new or uncommon thing. That being said, I don't think this NDA restricts you from releasing GPL scripts that you write for ServUO. What constitutes a modification for ServUO? I would suggest that...

    ChatGPT AI Assistant

    I know this thread has been focused on using AI as a code assistant, but I think it would be interesting to see NPC chat dialog controlled by a small AI model. It could also be fun to use a model to control boss monsters as well. You train the model to control movement, attacks, manage...

    Misc How it works: UO Software Renderer

    The Ultima Online Classic client uses a software renderer to display the game on the screen. What does this mean? It means that UO doesn't use the hardware acceleration from your graphics card to render the game on the screen. It uses your CPU instead, which is much less efficient. This is why...

    Procedural Content Generation for UO [Image Heavy]

    Now that boundary types have been identified, functions representing each boundary type can be applied based on distance from the boundary. Plate densities are also factored in to each altitude point. Convergent Boundary Function Convergent Boundary Results The lighter the green, the higher...

    Procedural Content Generation for UO [Image Heavy]

    Unify boundary types by majority vote on each plate to plate border: Green indicates that a plate is converging into a bordering plate Blue indicates that a plate is diverging from a bordering plate Orange indicates that a plate is neither converging nor diverging, it is a transform boundary...

    Idea for a new Web Based GUMP system

    At the top of the log, were there any failures or did it just say [success] on all of the checks? I've actually seen this happen, I think there's an easy fix. I'll need to look back through and see why it was happening.

    Idea for a new Web Based GUMP system

    Use the debug version of the igrping.dll for UltimaLive v0.98. That will bring up a console and you can see what is happening when the client loads.

    Procedural Content Generation for UO [Image Heavy]

    I've seen tutorials on how to make random maps in photoshop, and they look really interesting. If I remember right they use random noise to build up shapes etc, and then do other procedures on them. Instead of modeling the physics of the tectonic plates directly, as easier approach will be to...

    Idea for a new Web Based GUMP system

    I haven't done any testing on that client. I suppose I should come up with a series of tests to use with new clients to ensure compatibility. The first thing that you do to check is to run the debug client and see if you get any failures anywhere. I should tell you if it fails to find any...

    Idea for a new Web Based GUMP system

    I'm currently working procedural map generation, but I do plan on getting back to this.

    Procedural Content Generation for UO [Image Heavy]

    This screenshot shows tectonic plate movement vectors (arrows). The vectors will decide what kind of plate boundaries exist (convergent, divergent, transform) and the direction in which continents will move. Vector direction to the nearest neighbor:

    Procedural Content Generation for UO [Image Heavy]

    Most of the interesting activity occurs at plate boundaries. For this reason, I need to keep track of the polygons at plate boundaries. In this screenshot, each tectonic plate has lighter polygons at the edges. Each red polygon represents the seed polygon for the plate. Some of the...

    Procedural Content Generation for UO [Image Heavy]

    I've decided to put some more work into this project. I've abandoned the old code base in favor of a completely 3D approach. Since experimenting with the Sphere Slicing, it occurred to me that a better way to approach this problem is to calculate the Delaunay and Voronoi graphs on the surface...
