Hello Fans:
Due to the expanding number of boards carrying Ultimate Universe, I
am keeping my promise of making converters for any new release that changes
the file structures.
Version 1.40 is such a release. Any version of Ultimate Universe from
1.26 to 1.31 can be converted into the 1.40 format using the Convert program.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ NOTE: Version 1.50 uses the UU140 file format. These steps outlined │
│ below are only if you are converting from a version prior to 1.40. │
│ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Following are the steps for converting to 1.40:
1. Unzip the UU140.ZIP file into your current uu directory.
You may be tempted to make backup of you CONFIG.U? files, do not do
this as it will cause the new version to malfunction.
2. Modify CONFIG.UU to match your previous Configuration Variables.
Play special attention to a new variable: Comm Support Method.
3. Run: CONVERT C
4. If something goes wrong (such as running out of disk space or a power
failure) run CONVERT R. This will Restore back to 1.30 file format.
It will say it 'file not found' most likely, don't worry this is normal.
Then Repeat Step 3.
5. If the Conversion is successful run CONVERT T.
Do NOT run this step until you have tested that Ultimate Universe
is functioning properly.
This will tidy up the Temporary files made by the Conversion.
Restore is not possible after a Tidy.
6. Run MDAILY
This step is important or players will have no time available for the
first day.
Following these simple steps will convert you to the UU140 format with your
existing game intact.
