Updating an older shard to work with current clients?

[AdamD]

Hi all

Thought I'd ask this, rather than on runuo forums, as who knows how long they will be around.

I have a shard based on RunUO 2.1, so rather old, it has a mixture of customizations and such done to it.

I'd like to update it to run with the current UO Clients, as when I try logging in with newer clients, it says Invalid Client detected, disconnecting.

How hard is it to update it to work with current clients?

Im not sure if this will help but have you tried to edit Misc\ClientVerification.cs

			Required = new ClientVersion( "7.0.35.0" );

 

[AdamD]

Yea, that part is actually commented out.

public static void Initialize()
{
EventSink.ClientVersionReceived += new ClientVersionReceivedHandler( EventSink_ClientVersionReceived );

//ClientVersion.Required = null;
//Required = new ClientVersion( "6.0.0.0" );

I remember the last time I had to update the shard to run with a newer client it involved recompiling the core.

This is what happens in the runuo console as soon as I try and connect
Despite the check for clients being disabled, it's odd.

You're going to want to update your networking folder in the core to match servUO's or runUO 2.5's

Thanks Enroq, I'll have to compare the files and hope they can be merged.

Just thought I'd update this thread
It's...very odd, something in Windows 7 was causing that message, because I've since formatted and installed windows 8.1 and I can login aok, with the same client and shard setup
Lol

Doesn't surprise me it was something silly like that. Glad it was a semi-easy fix.
