I banged my head on my desk as I read this thread ;( Glad it all got resolved the further scrolled.

That's probably easier ;)

Manually i suppose, write some code that would deserialize the Mobile backup, look for players, and only copy those in, but you run into the same problem that the serialization versions and values would have to match exactly.

Not remembering and showing proof are 2 different things. I'm betting it occurs in POL and Sphere, today. Maybe it's something in the later clients, and not the older ones, not sure, but I personally fail to see this as a ServUO/RunUO/PlayUO issue, I'm personally unaware of anything that the...

Can you clarify if this EXACT same behavior happens in Sphere or POL, better yet, on the official servers?

Moving the save will only work if the new server has the same scripts, and any edits to the distro that required serialization edits must be exactly the same.

I can also confirm its for the store applications right now. But thats because they target .Net Core Native (https://github.com/dotnet/core). There is a lot of missing functionality, so so its going to be some time before something like ServUO can use it. A lot of things are changed, mainly...

I dont think there is a problem to solve. The shadow artifacts from mounts are usually caused by the rain or snow effects on the 2d client. If you do not see this in Sphere or POL its probably because you are attempting to reproduce it when the snow and rain are not present. As for the...

I'm confused by your pictures. One has mount's the other doesn't. The one with mounts has the issue, and mounts cause the issue, then you have a 2nd picture without mounts and no issue present.. which I would expect.

It's usually caused by the snow and rain effects, when you tested on POL and Sphere, are those effects working?

The classic client doesnt use DX or any other kind of hardware acceleration to draw UO. It uses GDI+, the same thing that draws standard Windows Applications (Explorer, Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc). Normal hardware accelerated graphics clear the entire frame before drawing, UO only draws what...

This is the most up to date list I know of. Since the emulator community has fallen a part, not a lot of people doing packet reversing anymore.

Does the result look different though? If so, post it. The image really helps me figure these things out, there are patterns to look for (I do a lot of image manipulation with pointers at work, so I see common things in the images, that help me understand what the problem is)

Not having done much C++ lately, and not having to look anything up, Here is what I gathered from about 2 mins of looking at this code and your picture. Seems like the offset you are jumping or writing per pixel is wrong (hence the diagnol looking striations in the image). sizeof(Color) * 8...

Why not just post the code here?
