Script will automatically moongate to fel/tram to get tickets.

Code: [Select]
set %ReturnToMoongateWhenDone #true
set %ReturnToLunaWhenDone #True

; TRAM
Set %TRAM_BuyNorthernTickets   #true
set %TRAM_BuySouthernTickets   #true
set %TRAM_BuySouthernTicketQuantity  1 ; number per house  to buy

Thanks for this script!  The continuous pathfinding seemed a little annoying at first, but given how much easier it made it to get the 10k tickets on several shards and on several accounts, I can't complain!  I was curious about how it would look running with several accounts at once, so I setup three chars at the gate and started the script three times, all within seconds of each other...looked funny watching what appeared to be several characters following the first one around. I'll be sure to test this on a few other shards as well, but I didn't see any problems with it and know this will help me get rid of some misc gold on the shards I don't play on!  Thanks again for sharing!!!

Thank you EN for this very helpful script.  I am also going to start up several accounts at the same time and watch it buy up tickets!    ;)

Just tried out the ultra lazy version (even though it didn't seem as ultra lazy to try out a new version!) on a few shards, and other than the missed gumps (as mentioned by _C2_ and seemingly caused by lag on the shard - increasing the waits a little worked for later chars/accounts), there was only one other issue:

When I set it to not spend in tram and to only go to the southern plots in fel, it just went right to Luna and stopped. 

I don't know whether this is worth fixing or not, since the lottery is over in about 5 more days, but it works great overall!!!

Thought I would give this a try and wow it works like a charm.  I hate to say but it showed me two plots I had missed due to lack of research.  Thanks a bunch for letting all of us use this and good luck to all with the lotto.

Post by: Dixie Wrecked on April 05, 2011, 08:20:33 PM
Thanks for the quick updates - the newest version is working great for me!  Now I just wish i had a little more gold on some shards to get more of the one-shot tickets (can make 400-500k in about half an hour on some shards without any trained chars, but some shards just aren't very cooperative in letting me make money!!!)...

Anyway, thanks again for this great script and hopefully there will be a lot of people from this site with Magincia Plots to do with as they please (other than claiming them as grandfathered houses...such a shame that's not the case)...

Pandemonium on Stratics http://vboards.stratics.com/uhall/239396-scripter-pacific.html

I haven't bought one ticket... no desire.

I thought it was a rather silly idea and would liked to have seen the Dev Teams limited resources be put to something else.

However many people seem to be excited about the Maginicia Plots. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Perhaps Magincia will become a Baazar that can compete with Luna.

You do have to trade in or give up your house if you win the plot right?

Yes, you do have to give up any old house...or just sell your prize ticket!

Pandemonium on Stratics http://vboards.stratics.com/uhall/239396-scripter-pacific.html

That thread is primarily about me with my openEUO script but in there they mentioned someone dismounting at stones. I'm not sure if you are using clicks for your stone gump opening, but I'm assuming you have a bug somewhere in yours as mine has no possible way to dismount. May not be either of ours though just figured I would mention it.

I thought it was a rather silly idea and would liked to have seen the Dev Teams limited resources be put to something else.

The idea was to implement a gold sink which is certainly needed. The market is flooded like hell at the moment.

The idea was to implement a gold sink which is certainly needed. The market is flooded like hell at the moment.

I'm neither for or against gold sinks. Personally I see no need for them but I don't have a problem with the Devs introducing them besides the fact I'd like to see their resources and time being spent on something that might actually make the game better. Fix Bugs, High Resolution graphics, another expansion etc...

If there are players out there that want to voluntarily spend their gold on something then that's their prerogative. Currently there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that having too much in game gold is having a negative impact on the UO Economy. The lack of players not the excess of gold is what's effecting the UO Economy.

The game is flooded with items and a lack of players to buy them. Sonoma which used to be a very active shard has now become a ghost town. UO unfortunately is probably not gaining more players than it's losing.

Prices on items are coming down in the game across the board on all shards because the increase in competition in conjunction with the lack of demand.

Also none of the recent steps taken by the Dev team indicate they are trying to limit the amount of gold in the game. Weight of gold was reduced, Bags of Sending were reactivated, Gold on Monsters was increased, Gold at Champion Spawns was increased. The New Brittainian ship was made available at UOgamecodes making an item that was going for 150M is now selling for 20M.

Perhaps the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing...

Personally I think the idea that gold sinks are needed is a bunch of rubbish.

If they truly wanted to suck trillions of gold out of the game, they should have made those housing plots not count against the account that wins them.

Trillions.

Not that I am anywhere near the script writers of a lot of the coders on this site, but this is one of the reasons I've chosen to release my scripts here rather than on EasyUO.  This isn't the only reason, but it is a big one, and while there has been less feedback here than I might have liked as well, I think I received a lot more feedback here than I might have on EasyUO, especially for the number of downloads they might have had (and given that the scripts are meant to be started and left to run until they finish their task, they might not have been as well accepted there either!).  

I can say that I really appreciated you releasing this script, as even though I could run around and manually buy the tickets, this just made things easier for me on the few shards I play and on a few others in which I had accumulated a little gold.  I can't wait until tomorrow morning now, so I can see just how many plots I might win!

So from reading the other thread on Stratics, it seems everyone wants to bagball the crap out of the tombstones...sounds like something you should add to the script to just piss them off more!!!

LOL if it was running longer i would.  Although I very much doubt that was my script in question.  Today is the end... good luck everyone... I only purchased tickets on 2 shards and not many at that ... was just a bit of fun to write this realitively simple script.

I ended up winning 3 plots on Lake Austin and 1 on Catskills, all in Fel, although it seemed like I should have won some of the Tram plots as well (I had about a 1 in 5-6 chance on most of the southern plots!).  But overall, at least I won something, so now I can try to figure out what to do with the plots, since I can't take any of them (grandfathering would have been so nice!!!)...

I ended up with a Tram spot on Pac and a spot in Siege.  I spent about 150M on Atlantic trying to get a spot in Tram - figured it would be a good investment, but I struck out there.  I am thinking I am going to sell the Pac spot to try to get my gold back and will keep the Siege spot.  Might be nice to have a guard zone house on Siege.

Thanks again EN!!!!

Thanks to this wonderful Script, I did end up with one Fel Plot on Pacific.   I am thinking of either selling it or trading it. As Endless knows, I have way too many houses on Pacific, before I won the Magincia Plot.
