Its automatic normally, but you appear to have multiple characters associated with your machine (which screws up a few processes in the universe server). I trust its ok to delete accounts other than 'Remorse'?

Yes please.

you ll need lot of patience cos building a world requires lots of time. you shold start looking at examples or scripting things

Okay so,even after the update, I still can't access my world

mm, try again now please. (Thought i'd fixed it but the server still appears to be getting confused by your old multi. Sorry, I'll need to work more on that so it cleans itself up properly..).

Sorry ut it still won't let me access it. Says my world is not recognized by the universe.

damn, sorry... i could really do with being online while you're logging in to confirm all the steps are cleared.
Have reset the check that was preventing you logging in this time - hopefully it will be good now?
(Note I've started on the task that will prevent multis affecting things like this in the future).

Ok now it's getting recognized. now whenI log in to it through the game client, it's all black, gets stuck on loading content, and says something about a "P2P" failed

Also, when I type in *settings, it crashes.

Oh dear.. sorry we're not doing very well here are we..!

I tried to visit your world tonight to look into things but i think you'll need some router/port-forwarding setup to let others in.
Meantime, not quite sure what in your setup is causing this but heres a couple of possibilities :

1) On your world window, go to Tools -> Terrain Editor and click 'Save Terrain Settings'.

2) On Options -> System Use -> Uncheck 'Use New File Transfer System' if its currently checked

Let me know if either of those helps at all.
If not, we'll probably need to move on to the next stage of either sending me a zip of your world folder or setting up the port forwarding so i can visit and debug whats going on.
Apologies for the difficulties. Sometimes it isnt quite this messy, honest ;]

That got me in after a few tries. Now I can't figure out how to use the interface. when I use the command *settings, it crashes. Also, I would like a demo on how to make the landscape.

Post by **Mit** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:55 pm

The settings crash was a problem with the installer - this is fixed in 0.65.3, meanwhile i've uploaded a quick patch that should solve it for you..

http://theuniversaldownloads.com/Univer ... emorse.zip

Extract that into the folder you installed the game to. (Program files/TheUniversal by default).

Theres a few different ways of doing a landscape.. the general method being to create a greyscale heightmap (which you can do in a paint program, or you can find various tools on t'internet that will generate one for you.. you can also find a bunch on google). Alternatively, theres a built in fractal generator which can be used to generate simple ones. Is there a particular style, theme or requirement you have for your landscape?

So I did the download, and I did the * settings command, but the mouse will not let me select anything in that menu. the menu is non interactable, and I have to close the menu.As far as the map generator, I could use some details about is interface and what the different "levels" and "bulge" and "height seed" and all of that actually means and does.

The *settings isn't programmed to use the mouse at all yet.
Need to use Page Up/Down to scroll and End to select.
