Weird.

Like I said before it was Dragon Mod 11, so I guess it was never set up for generating statics with the new sizes.
Also I've been freezing statics with Multool.

Can you give me a 'how-to' for "Maybe you can create a clean new staidx0 and then merge it with the old.".

My thing is, I've already spent a large amount of time decorating and such and don't want to have to redo it...again.

So what can I do to preserve everything and yet get things to the right size, etc?

Apparently its only 2mb per attachment? blah.

Anywho:

FFS...godaddy and their lack of rars is pissing me off!!!!!!!
(right click, save as).

Bizzare.  
Let me try raring the files up and posting them here.

You can grab a recent upload of my map + statics from:
http://realmsofvalor.com/filemgmt_data/files/ROV.zip

The statics there aren't defraged but it didn't do much in way of file size for me anyways.

Hmm, looking at a previous post "89.915.392 bytes in size and staidx0.mul has to be 5.505.024 bytes in size everything else is a sign of an incorrect working tool or some otherwise caused damages."


Looks like my Staidx0.mul is too small?
I attempted a padding of the file up to the correct size once before but it didn't work...any other thoughts?

Now I have another problem:

Ok.

So I guess, what are my options?
I'm using a custom map, which of course has custom statics and staidx.

Why wouldn't staidx be variable if the statics are?
Wouldn't using the OSI staidx and then a customer statics not work well?

Thats odd.

I used my custom map, which matches the exact size of the OSI one, and threw in the OSI statics and staidx and it had loaded up ok...are you sure it would be the map size?

Er...anyone?
Seems rather silly that a utility created for the customization of UO doesn't support custom statics and staidx!

Quick Q...why doesn't CentrED allow the ability the load up a staidx0 and statics0 file set thats been generated by something like dragon, where the file size is smaller than that of OSI?
Do you have the file sizes hard coded?
I tried padding the file to the exact size of the OSI version but CentrED just 'runs out of memory' which seems unlikely on a powerful machine with 2gigs of ram!

Any thoughts?

Is there a quick way to pad staidx0.mul on up to the right size?
I'm using statics0 and staidx as created by dragon during a mapping session..
