Title: UO Gateway and Connect UO
Post by: Tanth on June 25, 2008, 05:29:34 PM
Hello,  I have played on this server before With Cult of Malas under the name Kelrik, as well as with Sanguine Wild with the name Tanth.  I haven't been on in almost a year due to the birth of my daughter however I am looking into bringing my guild here as a rest haven and a family friendly place to RP.  I cannot however find UO Gateway anymore as it seems to be dead and I cannot find any other download clients.  I saw one member hosted the UO GAteway client on their personal website but when I went to launch It i received a non valid WIn 32 client error.  Any suggestions or links as to how to connect?

Outlook decided to do me a favor and block the attachment.  I cannot figure out how to unblock it but i added you to my safe sender list could you resend?

Might have to add the attachment to a .zip file and if that doesn't work add it to a .rar file. Outlook can be a bit overprotective at times. :P

Read Marlenus' post above and that still did not fix it.

I will be leaving for work shortly but will be home roughly 1:30 am est.  Will see what more i can do then.

It looks as though part of the problem is the UOG.rar.txt file even with it just named uog.rar it still sees it as a text doc.

Open your UOgateway folder.

Click the tools menu at the top.

Select Folder Options.

Select the View tab.

In the white box below make sure that "Hide extensions for known file types" is NOT checked.

Apparently MS thinks that people will be confused if they can see file extensions... Really.. I think it's more confusing when you CAN'T see them.

Do this and then check the file name again. Make sure it is uog.rar

Ok got that sorted out but now it says the following

UOGateway was unable to uncompress the downloaded serverlist. reason: Error creating Directory or file.

I hit ok and try any way and I get the same no clients installed message

strange... Do you have WinRAR installed?

If not go to http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm (http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm) and download WinRAR 3.80 beta 2.

If you don't already have this installed, try installing it and see if it helps.

Ok up and running ConnectUo however I am getting the infamous cant connect to patch etc play at own risk.  When I click ok i recieve loader.dll error:No_open_exe (pid= 0) and i do have the patch info typed in correct.

In ConnectUO..

Tools > Options > Browser Tab

Under "template" select "default" and then hit OK.

Restart ConnectUO and it should work.


Also.. If you downloaded UO from the UO website.. make sure you get the one from FilePlanet.. it's file name is uoml_setup.exe..  The other one will not work.


One more thing.. ConnectUO likes to minimize itself to the system tray.. If it is there and you try to open a new ConnectUO it will give you an error message. Just double click the icon in the system tray to open it back up again.

I bypasses adding a local server as It was still giving me play at own risk error.  I seem to be doing ok using the Sylvan link in the main list however When i go to log in it locks up at the connecting and gives the try agian in a few minutes.  This may be to me not remember my old login and password that Acacia held for me.  I have a pm in to verify the info.
