I set up the eXtreme UO RCX mod on my home computer server several months back. I've been playing tdm and dm for months with stock and custom maps with no problems at all.

Last night I played with a group of guys on my server that wanted to play base assault. When I started with Foy I immediately got the above error.
I switched the map to Kursk and no problems until about 30 minutes into the game and boom it popped up and that was then end of our play.

I went into Kursk this morning by myself and no error.....

I understand few people play UO anymore so I don't expect a lot of people jumping in on this one.....

Thanks for any "pearls of wisdom" you can throw my way...

This issue is fairly well documented as it has been around for several years. But as a start, if you have added any new maps lately you may want to remove others that you dont play as often.

Being fairly new to a Home Computer Server I had never run into the problem before.

My next step was to remove all custom maps from the server only and see what affect it had on base assault play.

When we just play TDM or DM we never ran into the error at all. I assume base assault requires more.

Thanks fir the input.

Ok... I deleted all custom maps from the server, redirect and player
Still get the error when I go into Foy to play Base assault.

Again....this has only occurred when trying to play base assault.
Worked perfect when playing dm or tdm.

Crap I just noticed I was using Rc5 one of the better mods. In my personal opinion the latest uo mod was no where near good as rc5.

This is what I did to my clans RC5

In Extreme.cfg

// This config file controls the main settings in Extreme Edition
//****************************************************************************************
// AWEUO Enable or Disable
//****************************************************************************************
// Disable AWEUO (0 = no, 1 = yes) (default 0)
// Setting this to 1 will disable AWEUO with a few exceptions:
// 1. Weapon modifications to grenades, smokegrenades, satchels and PTRS41
// 2. All cvars that do not start with awe_ , for example tank limiting
set awe_disable "0"
set awe_disable_island_madness "1"
set awe_disable_beta1 "1"
set awe_disable_sk_dino2 "1"
set awe_disable_azzem "1"
set awe_disable_armorgeddon_final "1"
set awe_disable_muerenville1.1 "1"
set awe_disable_beaumont_dusk2 "1"
set awe_disable_mp_uo_vierville "1"
set awe_disable_mp_design "1"
set awe_disable_mp_priory "1"
set awe_disable_cod_breakers_yard "1"
set awe_disable_mp_asch "1"
set awe_disable_mp_cobra "1"
set awe_disable_cuf_hangars "1"
set awe_disable_uo_flak88 "1"
set awe_disable_hob_enterrez_tdm "1"
set awe_disable_micewars "1"
set awe_disable_desert-storm "1"
set awe_disable_mp_uo_merville_final "1"
set awe_disable_battlechess "1"
set awe_disable_krafthaus "1"

That cuts down the mod to stock with minor extreme features. Now I don't know if the latest mod for uo supports this but it's worth a try my dude.

P.S: The above is a example.

I have deleted ALL custom maps on the server, redirect and player and still get the MAX error on all tank maps except Kursk and Rhine valley.

I didn't find any similar setting in the .cfg files but seeing the custom maps are deleted it would make a difference.

Where can I get the RC5 mod?

PvtWhoOkid · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2008, 12:02:06 pm »

You got me there lol if you can't find it here then I doubt you will find it at all.

Also i forgot to mention to disable the weather features on the maps. I remember that was one of the tweaks for the rc5 don't know about the one you have.

PvtGomerPyle · « **Reply #9 on:** July 02, 2008, 12:53:59 pm »

I have the weather option. I MAY just reinstall and see what happens. If I still have problems with base assault I can live with it.

Thanks

thats the error that almost killed the extreme mod,best thing to do is turn everything off and stert one by one on turning things on that u want to use.also try the lite modes. the tank maps did my uo server in too

I have played the tank maps in dm and tdm with no problems. Admittedly my little home computer server has 4 on it max but it's running fine UNTIL I tried base assault.

Lesson learned??? Stick with dm and tdm and have fun in the olde tanks and jeeps.....

Thanks to all

Dude, you just have to learn the tricks and just tweak it around. Yes its hard at first but once u get the hang of it and you have just the way you want it, you will love it!

I have tweaked this puppy till the cows came home and for dm and tdm it's working sweet. Really don't want to spend hours just trying to get base assault running and maybe detract from the dm and tdm play.

Didn't play it before and don't feel bad without it....

Thanks Kid :wink:
