UO Architect 2.4 Alpha - Released For internal testers only, please check your email for information reguarding login to the internal developer forums.

Once this is stable and a few more features added, we release a pubic beta of uoar 2.4 .. this is a small update but requires bug testing from our internal team first :)

thank you for your help guys.

We've released an update for UO Architect 2.2+ Server, which works with runuo v1.0 RCB0+

Xandor is working on an update for UOAR 2.3 which we hope to get out in the near future.

The Pro side of the application would take up more time than xandor has at the moment for coding, however we will get updates out for uoar 2.3 soon.

Please let us know if anyone has problems with the uoar server 2.2 update related today.

I've posted both uoar 2.2 Client and Server below to make the release easier to test. This also fixes some issues we had in the uoar server 2.1 release.

Enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE: if you want to move a building in the editor hit shift-left mouse button!

Well it's been a bit of time since we released an update for UO Architect, since we've been busyly working on UO Architect Professional.

This next update, is just a small update but should make users very happy all the same.

We've added Multi Patching to UOAR 2.2 to help cut down on lag for those building worlds or those that want to turn there creations into player housing.

This Next release is feature packed, but also fixes a lot of small bugs, and adds new fuctionality to UOAR.

We will be releasing UOAR 2.1 Beta 2 Later today (january 28th, 2004), after we get our new manaul updated, and install files cleaned up, I'll post a new link for downloading this tool.

We've done a lot of private beta testing to try and make this release as stable as possible. But Please Keep in mine this is still a beta test and we'll need feedback to improve or fix anything we may of missed with this next release.

New Editor will be in beta 3, however I think all members will be very happy with the advancements in UOAR Beta 2. :)

Please Keep inmind, as we get closer to beta with our UOAR PRo Rendering Engine, that images will improve, you'll be able to see trees, and statics, aka buildings and decroations and more. Including Real time Zoom, and fast movement over the map.

Once we get this system stable, it will be joining the changes we are making to our UOAR v2.1+ Editor, that is in development as well.

We've released our public beta for more news about this please goto Orbsydia.

We are cleaning up and compiling questions that uses might have about this tool as well as a visual guide.

This is a beta release so to get it out on time it doesn't have all the systems we have currently in development in the tool but we are hoping to get some regular updates out soon.

If anyone finds any major bugs that crash the program please make notes of what you did and post it in the forum.

For those testing UO Architect In our Private Beta Test, Thank you for all your feedback and comments, they have helped a lot.

We've release private beta v1.9 that adds new fuctionality to the tool box, I think the core beta team will get a kick out of it we are trying to save your figours as much as we can.

I've moved the private download forum into the UO Architect Folder since the private beta testing is mostly being done for UO Architect at the moment.

I'll be posting known bugs for this version there, please add any more bugs you find. we will be doing a massive update with private beta v2.0 which will set the standard layout for the tool, and make it even more intuwitive than it is now.

IF all goes well we hope to have a public UO Architect RC1 release of the tool by December 25th, 2003 as a emu community xmas present, however we are doing our best to get this out before then

Status of the Project v1.9 of our tool already passes our wildest dreams when we started this project. Runuo is an awesome server to work with.

How many server have any of you worked with where you can move a building or city with 150,000 items in it in real time and it not crash your client or server?? 150,000!!!!

And then make real time edits of that city or building in the UO Architect Tool? Or add to database and have it take less than a second to extract or build to a map through remote with other designers on the map at the same time.

We've tested this on dialup connections and cable and T1 and the extract and build speeds are the same !!

As a level designer in UO Emu community for the past 5+ years, and as Co Core Developer for UO Architect with Lead Programmer Xandor, he and I have tried our best to put in systems that will make fellow developers and level designers lives much easier when building MASSIVE dungeons, MASSIVE cities, right down to a 1 tile object that needs a tweak

Beta testers are welcome to post comments and thoughts of what you think as well.

Please remember for thoughs that are not in the private beta, but are building designers, if you PM me aka Khaybel on the forum and setup a time I can show you the tool in action on our OrBSydia TC, and arange to join our private team Which is currently via invite.

We are looking for people that are good at designing to help push this tool to the limits and give us detailed reports on bugs and wish lists they want in a level designing tool for UO, this will help us get those features out in the tool be for RC1 is release.

in it's current state the tool is very powerful and stable, but we have a few more major features to add, including real time roof editor and more

anyway, comments welcome, and welcome to orbsydia for new users.

Can't wait to get this out to the masses, and see what everyone can create with this tool when released.

We got a lot done in closed beta version 1.6 of the UO Architect Tool today.

Thank you to all Beta testers that helped, also thank you to Knightshade for finding a bad extract bug It's working much better now.

For those testing, please post your bugs and wish lists, so far we've been able to keep up, but if you think we can improve on the tool please let us know.

check the link below for a screenshot of private beta version 1.6, we've added some graphics and a new tool bar to the tool, and many other improvement both to the ingame controls of UO Architect, and to the designer which is out of game for UO Architect.
