i'm not sure it's ok to post this but there's a workaround posted on the EUO community boards -
scroll down a bit in this thread:
http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48152&start=15&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=a few users have posted about how to copy the older map files (from an unpatched client) to the main folder of the patched client.
i d/l the file with the old map files and copied them to my main UO folder and now the Miner For Dummies 3.1 is working for me again (my miner is actually mining again,
not just standing and doing nothing).
if this isn't ok to post here then please forgive me!!!
i'm overjoyed because after a few years away from the game i'm back and was looking forward to this script SO much (to train a new miner) and when i couldn't get it to work this morning (and then read on these boards why) i was really bummed.
thank you XIIxOver for such an awesome script, and for continuing to make it better and better
