Ok, so i downloaded the world client thing and i try to host it, and it looks like its working. But then i click on th little globe button to play the game and it says:

Error executing client program.
Check your client is correctly installed at the location
specified in the 'Options'->'General Options' window.

Ok so I make sure it has the right directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\Charlie Spurrill\My Docments\mmo\TheUniversal

but it still doesnt work. Help!

Sounds like you're almost there. In the world server General options, make sure the directory's correct, and make sure the client is correct too - if you're running the standard Universal client, it should be Galaxy.exe.

However... you can just run the client yourself, and choose "Your World" from the first menu. All the little globe does (in the world server) at the moment is give you a handy shortcut to the game client - so if you still can't get it working, just run it yourself.

f

woud recommend connecting from the client at the moment as the world (globe) icon connection path is buggy.

Woot! I got the golbe icon to work...but it doesnt auto connect to my world or nothing...it works just like the shortcut to the universal on my desktop. I think it's a port problem...is the PORT in the serverconfig file supposed to be the port of Andromeda?

PS

My worlds name is Faruha

It is supposed to just start The Universal. After it's started, select 'Your World' instead of 'Continue' to directly connect to your world.

Well, I finally got my world up and running, I found out I needed an infimp to get to an unknown world and got it (PS there are 2 more unknown's near planitia) ...it's fairly easy to get a world running compared to actually making it your own. I need lots of help...and I already read that silly manual...

Question:
Why is it that the only vehicle type that moves at all or can use jetpack is humanoid??? How do fix this problem cause I want to make a balloon war game where you can bomb and shoot down enemy bombers. Not like mechzone but an actual economic and war game.

Um... because you're doing something wrong?

You can add jetpack to any vehicle by setting "Extras" to 1.

You can make any vehicle move by entering sensible settings for acceleration/speed/friction etc.

The only exception is vehicle 1, for which settings are fixed (because that's the standard avatar vehicle)

It might be best if you posted more detail about the settings you're using.

I've just tested balloon mode, and I'm not convinced it's working. Does anyone else have working balloons at the moment?

f

my only balloon is an ornament at present

I sure can't get mine to work, so for now I'm leaving it at a blimp with sluggish controls, low airspeed, and little air thrust. I know Zaroba has some working balloons on Zoric, though.
