Build 116


    (18.01.1999)

USE UOX 69.01 or higher
The Second Age (T2A) is recommended

    Use script 24 or higher

 


First Steps - a quick introduction

- Get your lastest script file and put the *.cig files inside the CGMT directory.
- If you use the Script Team file than you don't need to do anything, its the standard cgmt cig file :), all other have to overwrite the existing cig files
- Start CGMT
- Now you can start UOX and your UO-Client (<start> tab). If this is not possible (because the buttons are not enabled) than go to the <Options> tab and set the pathes to UOX, the UO-Client and all the others. Please don't forget to save.
- Have fun with CGMT

If you found bugs or have nice ideas, send me please an Email.


- VERY IMPORTANT!!!


Remember you must have the same script on your computer equal with the script that the server uses!!!
Then you must have the correct *.cig files in the CGMT Directory!!!

[ Back ]   


Know Bugs

- After changing options you have to restart CGMT.
Why?? I don't know why but it pissed me off.....

[ Back ]   


FAQ

- use always the latest release of uox and script both can be found at

www.prodes.org/cgmt , www.prodes.org/the-script-team , uox.stratics.com , www.uox3.com

- CiG Files
You want to use all the script items and npcs? Yes!
Ok than do the following.
Download your favorite Script file. Unzip it and put the inclosed *.cig files into the CGMT directory and overwrite the existing *.cig files
After this CGMT will be able to use the script items and npcs of your favorit script

- Scriptwriters:  You want to make your Script CGMT compatible? then read the cig.htm file and if you have questions email me :)

- Login files You must have 2 Login files wich have a differente name as login.cfg When you push a button (start) then the tool will copy the login file (uox or ultima online) over the excisting login.cfg and start the UO-Client.

- You must copy the c-items.cig and c-npcs.cig file, which are delivered together with the scriptfile in the CGMT directory! The both files must be in the same dir as CGMT.exe!

If you press delete it will only clear the fields, you have to push save after this to delete the shard from the c-server.cig file (its for safety reasons)

ADD Completly internal change of the ThumbCreator, you wanna know why?
the reason is that i was bored to use Inside uo to get all those anvils and all the other stuff that we need to build up a good running shard.
The old internal structure of the ThumbCreator does not allow me to add simply new thumbs :) now i have made a special c-thumbs.cig file which have all thumbs included and is easie to modiefy by yourself :))
Get it and rumble your shard.

I have added tons of items into the c-thumbs.cig file , hope you now have nearly all what you need :)) if not mail me :)
Please inform me if you find double or false items in the thumb creator, i have tryed to check all but you know it sucks me up to see all the items so often :))

[ Back ]

 95  06.09.1998  
You must have UOMap installed to be able to use the new map tools :))  
Why did i not release the needed bmp files with cmgt? The answer is the file size !! (they are together above 30megs! and i don't know anyone how will download this :))
Another good reason is that the F-ckheads have a great tool to extract the maps from UO and that i only can produce 2gigs of traffic on my site :))
You can get this ass-kicking tool here: http://www.f-ckheads.com/uomap/
After you have install UOMAP, with all Maps!!!! you have to go to the cgmt options and enter the path to your uomap tool, now cgmt is able to use the bmp files which are there for his maps.
ADD Click & Travel :)) you now only have to click on a map and you will be teleported to the place :) Remember you need the UOMAP!!!

ADD Travel Menu shows you your actual position :))) (updated every second)
ADD Basic CGMT Map :))
       actually you must copy the uomap.bmp (24MB) from your UOMAP dir into the CGMT dir. If you dont have UO MAP then go to  http://www.f-ckheads.com/uomap/ and get their tool!! Without this it will not work

0.90 09.08.1998  
ADD Maintain Shop(s)
Add Open Buy Pack for the shopkeepers, now they will buy your Stuff
CHANGE Now using the id of the script for adding items for the following items, the reason is that the script generatet items have put a correct value id and are easier to update. When you click on an item in the thumb-window will appear a hex and sometimes a dez. number, if both appears, you will create a item which is included in the script file, the others are created without stats, so you have put the correct settype and value for them Armor plate, ringmail, chainmail,
                studded leather, leather Weapons nearly all..
                Reagents (normal and pagan), Scrolls (all circles), Masks, Buildings, Bows, Shields
                Spellbook (you no longer have to use /settype after creation, thx the script team)       
                i will update it for all items asap, you can figure out that it took me hours to update the internal cgmt item list.. :(
