As promised, here's a list of motherboards and systems I've built over the years.  These are systems that I used starting from around 1989 till present.

STATUS:
1/2 way through the stack of motherboard manuals.  Presently at 21 systems.

Computer Rigs / My new Ryzen build
« on: April 01, 2017, 05:00:27 PM »
Tidus asked what my new build entails, so here it is:

AMD Ryzen 1700X 8/16(core/thread) 3.4/3.8GHZ CPU, $399
Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 Motherboard, $109
SanDisk SD8NAT123G1002 M.2 128GB Mkey (boot) $free (from old build)
SanDisk Ultra II 480GB SATA FLASH (Programs) $free (from old build)
Seagate  ST4000DM005 4TB drive (Users) , $119
Corsair 16GB DDR4 2133MHz (CMV8GX4M1A2133C15) (2x8GB), $114
NVIDIA GTX1070SC Video card, $398 (open-box.  not including $40 rebate)
Corsair CX750 750W power supply, $80
Roswill ATX gaming tower, $60
ThermalTake Contac Silent CPU fan, $25


Corsair Vengeance (9CMK16GXm2A2400C16) does not work!!!!

I originally started out with an ASUS Prime X370-Pro motherboard, but I couldn't get it to POST.  I then turned in that board for this one (Gigabyte) and also no POST.  Finally I got an ASUS PRIME B350M-A motherboard and no POST.  I exchanged the CPU and still no POST, so I changed from 2400MHz memory to 2133MHz memory and like magic everything started to work.

So I've got around $1300 bucks into this new rig (not including the 2 "free" drives)

Site News / Please welcome your new GMod Gimlet!
« on: March 28, 2017, 06:44:59 AM »
I can't even remember the last time we added a staff member to ScriptUO.  But Gimlet has a vast reservoir of knowledge and has been our new member ambassador for a long time now. Plus he's been with us pretty much from the beginning (certainly from the beginning of ScriptUO)

So please take a moment out of your busy scripting day to give a warm welcome to your new Global Moderator (GMod), Gimlet.

Site News / Welcome to the new ScriptUO forum!
« on: February 18, 2017, 06:54:59 PM »
So why the move?

ScriptUO has been using the same version of SMF since we first started.  Recently, that version started to go into end-of-life, and that means no more security updates.  More importantly, version 1.x of SMF was built on an older version of PHP that might no longer be supported by our current host (or any other host). 

The new version of SMF (2.0.x) allows for core updates, updated version of PHP and opens the door for more recent mods.

There has been some functionality loss (contributions, awards, etc) but I've tried hard to bring forward many of the key features like bookmarks, links, downloads, etc.  We also have new features such as better context highlighting and PM attachments.

Hopefully this move doesn't cause too much stress; I hate change but this was necessary.

Site News / Halloween 2016 - RebirthUO-style!!
« on: October 27, 2016, 09:22:06 PM »
[FADE IN, RANDOM OSI SHARD]

Fizban attempts what seems like his 1,000,000th Trick-or-Treat attempt.  I guess he should have thought to raise begging first.



After a full day of wandering aimlessly from vender to vender, Fizban decides to call it an evening.  He sat sleepily in a chair next to the bed, just too tired to even think about getting up and moving to the bed.  His eyes drooped as sleep assaulted him.



A strange sensation envelopes you as you realize you're no longer in the same land.  "What, where's my red robes?"  This looks like Blackthorn Castle, but there's something menacingly evil going on.  Plus the banker is a Balron, so that's different.

Ah, Quest givers!  They are asking for some pretty creepy things, but heck this is a dream.

Hey what's this?



[Evil sounds......]
Wait? What's that?



Wow, free resurrection and corpse acquisition!  Neat!



Welcome to the RebirthUO Halloween Event 2016

Yes, this is the 2nd annual Halloween Bash.  Last year Crome969 and yours truly (TM) put together a no-holds-barred Halloween event that includes:

  • Complete reward system based upon any creatures you find in Blackthorn Castle, the Forsaken or Newbie Lord British castle
  • Turn in lesser rewards in exchange for artifact-quality rewards and mounts
  • Fully customized Halloween-themed dungeon containing at least 5 mini-Champion spawns including 1 that's considered un-soloable
  • Custom designed kill-quests that halloween artifacts and unique items for Halloween
  • Hourly and daily massive invasion spawns in both Blackthorn castle and The Forsaken
  • Unique stealable items located throughout the Halloween event
  • Any graveyard across Britania has the possibility of spawning undead skeletons with an actual player character's name.  There is a possibility of acquiring a bone contaner labeled with that players name.  Collect them all!

New for 2016
  • Starting in Haven, new player quests have been added especially for new players.  Quickly advance a mage so within 24 hours you can be building your RebirthUO empire and fully experiencing all that our Halloween event has to offer!
  • Lord British Castle has been haunted with the spirit of Halloween.  Once you get your character built up a bit, this castle area will allow the new player to ease into the event without being harassed by the full force of The Forsaken dungeon.  The newbie dungeon has "Watchers" that strictly enforce that new players are allowed within the Newbie Castle.
  • A newbie quest found within the Newbie Castle will reward the character completing it the most with a custom made and personalize deco item at the end of the event.
  • Many new kill quests
  • Newly added stealables thoughout!
  • A secret portal to our Solen Invasion event.  It doesn't drop Halloween stuff, but you can bulk up on your powder of translocation and get interesting artifacts
  • A secret teleporter to Doom Gauntlet.  I'm not telling where, but you'll be compelled to discover it yourself.

So the main thing you do through out this event is KILL.  Rewards are automatically added to your pack, so looting is optional.  You should loot and evaluate the normal treasure drop since RebirthUO now has the same or similar loot quality as a traditional OSI shard.  So if you're poor, now is a great time to build up your fortune!

So get a head start now by jumping on RebirthUO and starting a character.  The noobie quests are online *NOW*, so you can easily be prepared by the 31st.  (Yes, I tested from a ZERO skill character - 24hours including script GM of magery)

So if you are really tired of Trick-or-treating and want to actually play some fun Halloween content, please come and give RebirthUO a go.

XMLSpawner / The RunUO/XMLSpawner section!
« on: October 10, 2016, 04:58:29 PM »
For those people who have opted to play with the inner-workings of RunUO, you may have come across references to XMLSpawner.  This is pretty much the best way for a GM/Seer/Admin to add content-on-the-fly to their freeshard as well implement all sorts of player automation.

Unfortunately, the sources for this information are drying up on the interwebz.  So I've created a section for all to share knowledge and learn from a hopefully growing cache of information.

I have lots of random information, and hopefully over the next few months, I can organize what I have and present it for ya'll to digest and assimilate. 

Also, if you find examples, documents, links, etc in your own stash, please post what you have so we can keep the knowledge of this wonderful tool alive!

Off Topic / Why I won't ever be a TiVo customer again
« on: February 20, 2016, 11:56:52 AM »
I got my first series 1 used on Ebay around 2002.  Since then I've had a couple Series 2s, HD, Premiere, Roamio, Roamio OTA.  Even one box I paid for the lifetime subscription.

I recently bought a used Roamio basic and found it to have faulty boot issues.  Since I was going to try and go OTA but found I just don't have the OTA signal to use my Roamio OTA, I decided to pull the cablecard carrier adapter from the Basic and put it into the OTA.  This is done by many on the interwebs and on the TiVo forums without issue, but I experienced issues and contacted TiVo support.

Instead of trying to help me get the thing working, I was lectured about how I broke their terms of service.  Funny thing is probably every TiVo I've ever owned I've modified in some way - it's sort of why people purchase them in the first place.  My series 1s and 2s were upgraded with bigger hard drives and network cards, while my later ones all got larger storage.  So to be lectured now about the ToS was just too much for me, so I just cancelled all my boxes. (3 active monthly subscriptions)

So let this be a warning to anyone wanting to do business with TiVo.  Just don't.

P.S.  Sometimes its nice to own a website that gets 2M hits/month and over 1M page views.  :p
