General UO Chat / Screen Recorders
« on: May 15, 2010, 05:25:37 AM »
Does anyone here use screen recorders such as Camtasia or Camstudio to record big UO fights? If so, what codec do you use? Settings?

I have recently started recording some big fights just for the amusement of some guildies. My very first video was 5 minutes long. The quality was great but the file size was 1.2 gb.  :'(

I'm trying to find a good codec to use to hopefully cut file size to at least youtube limits (which I can't remember off hand).

I just downloaded camtasia the other day, but haven't got to mess around with it yet. I got the techsmith codec which is supposed to work good. I also have divx codec.

Should be interesting :D.

How can you and one other guy teleport onto the island in despise with 6 people on it and just start whither spamming without recording it? lol

Scripting Chat / Question about Scripting
« on: April 18, 2010, 12:45:44 PM »
Alright, I'm finally going to make the plunge to start learning how to write scripts. I have a question about the coding though. Is the coding you learn from scripting a variation of any other coding? Or is it only good for Ultima Online?

I can only imagine how painful this is. I remember sometimes having sex 4-5 times a day during my teen years. I also remember how painful it was after the 3rd time. lol

I know its different for a woman, but this still has to be disastrous for your life.

Off Topic / Finding someone to go on extreme vacations with...
« on: April 03, 2010, 05:57:21 AM »
That cost alot of money can be frustrating. I have found two people who are willing to go on the following vacation. Sounds a little risky, but think about the memories!

Has anyone ever done something like this?

General UO Chat / Ultima Casting Formulas
« on: February 21, 2010, 07:13:07 AM »
Does every type of magic use the same casting success formula?

I'm trying to write up a list of all the spells you can cast from different skills using the JOaT.

Just wondering. Thanks!

General UO Chat / Enhanced Client
« on: February 17, 2010, 12:26:42 PM »
I got around to thinking about this, and I don't know much about programming.

In the Enhanced Client you can do something that you can't in the 2d client. Example:

You have greater heal precasted. Someone then poisons you. You can drink a cure pot, and still have the greater heal cursor up.

In 2d client if you tried this it would cancel out the spell.

So I was wondering, does this mean that this action is client side? If so, is there a way to alter it in the 2d client?

General UO Chat / Few Questions about Disco
« on: February 11, 2010, 01:41:29 PM »
Never used any barding skills in ultima before. However, with the latest changes to mysticism I've been thinking of a new template for doing champ spawns. I can dual account, so this temp would basically be for champ only.
 
Skills as follow:

Taming
Lore
Mysticism
Focus
Necro (For wraith form)
Music
Disco

And I'll have to decide how to arrange the skills. Being an elf its possible for me to get my SDI up to 100. I know on my mage toon I can basically 2 hit kill most 4th level mobs with hail storm. My question is: Will a mage slayer book work for mysticism spells if I have no magery on the character?

My ideal setup is to use my dragon as a tank on the 4th level, and then just  hailstorm everything. Then I can discord the boss, and use double accounts to kill it fairly fast.

Any suggestions?

Off Topic / Beezid
« on: February 07, 2010, 10:33:08 AM »
Just saw a commercial for this auction site called beezid. They claimed they were selling 20,000 dollar cars for about 900 dollars. I wondered how this worked, and thus I researched it. Very interesting idea I must say.

Let's start with basics. First off, you have to buy bids. Each bid costs $0.70 cents.

The auction site works in penny increments. So let's use the example from above.

900.00 = 90,000 bids.

90,000 bids multiplied by 70 cents: $63,000.00 dollars.

So the website claims to sell this car for 900 dollars, but the site makes a 43,000 dollar profit off this vehicle! Amazing!

Is this not a great idea or what? haha

The devs mentioned that they are considering allowing faction fighting in Trammel. What are your thoughts on this?

UO-Related Tutorials / Mysticism
« on: January 30, 2010, 02:40:31 PM »
Basically I created this thread to give some insight to helpful things you can do with mysticism. Everyone just reply here.

1.) Purge Magic. This spell works great. If a mage is in protection you can easily remove it from him. I tested this, and apparently you remove the buffs in the reverse order of what the opponent casted them. So if you are doing a champ spawn and are worried about someone using this on you try casting Protection first, then something like Magic Reflection and then Reactive armor.

Also, something else about this spell. You can cast it about as fast as a 2nd or 3rd level magery spell. Don't you hate it when you dismount ninjas only for them to jump back into animal form and run off? Well guess what? This spell will knock a ninja out of animal form. It doesn't have any delay penalty as they can jump right back in it. This spell casts fast enough that if you run in a group 1 mystic should be able to spam this and keep this guy dismounted.

Anyways, I'll come back and add some more later.

General UO Chat / Field Calling
« on: January 14, 2010, 08:55:15 PM »
This may be a dumb post, but one that I feel necessary to ask.

In my introduction I said I've only been playing 2-3 years, and not pvping all of that :D.

Anyways, when field fighting what are some basic rules if you are the caller?

I've been fortunate as to have some good pvp'rs kind of help me out over the past year, but in the field it does not seem to convert. I can call a name, but for some reason people dont react quick enough.

Does it come down to the people I'm fighting withs macro setup?

What I'm basically saying is: How in depth do people go? Is it normal to have to tell an archer to hit the person with mortal?

I'm curious to know how some do it! Thanks.

Television/Movies / Eureka on SciFi
« on: January 14, 2010, 03:49:51 PM »
I don't believe anyone watches this show. I've yet to meet a person that has ever heard of it besides me.

If you have not seen it try giving a few episodes a try!

The show is about a government ran scientific corporation secretly covered up as being a small midwest town. Everyday on the show crazy things happen (like someone creating a new sun ).

Kind of a geeky show, but entertaining none the less.

Beverages / The official Bourbon thread
« on: January 14, 2010, 03:39:29 PM »
Here I am, 6:38 central, and I have a bottle of bourbon in front of me.

I have never tasted this type of whiskey before, but I received it as a christmas gift. /alcoholic

This may be somewhat different than my regular So Co and Coke, but I will post updates as I try this.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't come from Heaven.  :-*

Seriously, haha, my name is James. I play on Atlantic at the moment. I mainly play a mage tamer right now, but always and forever changing!

I was reading the introduction sticky post and saw where you guys wanted some girlfriend measurements lol. This is an odd story which I'm willing to share. I had a really good looking girl, and she had a real nice body. However, she only had small b cups. So she would always tell me that she was goin to get breast implants. Well, one day she did. Her confidence shot through the roof, and she left me for another guy.  ;D Life works in odd ways.

Moving on....I live in Tennessee. Yes I have all my teeth, and yes I can read and write! Shocking right?

I've been playing Ultima for about 2-3 years now. I still get "WTFPWND" everyday, but I'm making some progress. I spend time playing TF2 also. If anyone has steam id just reply here and we'll become friends!  8)

I'm a Volunteers fan so if anyone wants to join me in bashing Lane Kiffin then lets do it!

Nice to be aboard.
