Hi,

This script works great for the tree on the recall rune; however, when it starts to path find to the other trees on the same rune, it kept trying to chop before it gets to the tree thus resulted in a "that's too far away" message; so by the time it gets to the tree it won't chop it then it'll try to chop the next tree on the path before it gets there and again resulted in a "that's too far away" message; this keeps repeated for the rest of the trees on that one rune and it happens for all the runes I marked.  What am I doing wrong?

Regards.

Edit 1:  I tried to go through the set up again using only two runes to test; each rune has about 8 trees marked.  The location is valid as I was able to chop when marking the tree.  However when I ran the script, I again encountered the problem stated above.  I tried both mount, always run and foot and never run; still couldn't get thr script to work.

Hehe, I have no idea what became of him - I still get mesmerized watching it over and over lol.

What shard are you on?

Catskills...except for some veteran core players, seem like most people on here want to transfer off to ATL....I have been here quite a long time myself so couldn't bring myself to transfer  :'(

Doesn't work with Bone Armor bods as of the latest patch, it'll make 20 but then stopped, doesn't combine with the bod and won't get rid of the non-exceptional to the trash can...also, it'll randomly make other armors, for example a leather hat, instead of the bone armor the bod is calling for.

Sell them at half the going rate and you will have enough $ for 2 Mace and Shields using the same amount of ingots you would burn on only one.

True, hopefully they will sell as my shard is like a ghost town at the moment lol...btw, love the clip under your name, did that guy broke his entire face?  I feel bad but can't help laughing.

Hi, I guess the owner of this script no longer support this?  I was wondering how to add in a subscript that will allow for the tinkering of the axes and donate, instead of buying them....I'm still new at scripting so don't really know where to start...thanks.
Correct, the author has not been around for quite some time.

What you are asking to do is not a simple feature add anyhow, it is a pretty major change.

I don't understand why you'd want to do this anyhow to be honest (and you're not the first person to ask). I did a cost analysis on this once *digs out spreadsheet* based crafting at 10 gold per iron ingot (what I'm seeing as the current "general" rate).

For M&S -

Buckler Purchased
Points: 9
Cost: 47
Total needed: 88,889
Total Cost: $4,177,778
Total Trips at 300 Stones per Trip (just a baseline number for reference): 1,482
Total Time: The time it takes to recall, buy, recall, and turn in 1,482 times +/-

Buckler Crafted
Points: 9
Cost: 100 (10 ingots x 10 gold)
Total needed: 88,889
Total Cost: $8,888,900
Total Ingots: 888,890
Total Trips at 300 Stones per Trip (just a baseline number for reference): 1,482
Total Time: The time it takes to craft, recall, and turn in 1,482 times +/-.

Consider 300 stones at 5 stones per buckler is 60 bucklers. If you could bang out a buckler every second and never had to restock or make new smith tools (yep, impossible but..hey, what if) you would be looking at a minute of crafting for every trip. This means you would be CRAFTING ALONE for 24.7 hours plus down times, ingot restocking, tool crafting, etc. Then you would still have delivery time (but that exists in either scenario so we can call that a wash).

Obviously Battle Axes's are the better choice so here is a breakdown:

Battle Axe Purchased
Points: 9
Cost: 22
Total needed: 88,889
Total Cost: $1,955,556
Total Trips at 300 Stones per Trip (just a baseline number for reference): 1,185
Total Time: See above discussion

Battle Axe Crafted
Points: 9
Cost: 140 (14 ingots x 10 gold)
Total needed: 88,889
Total Cost: $12,444,460
Total ingots: 1,244,446
Total Trips at 300 Stones per Trip (just a baseline number for reference): 1,185
Total Time: See above

As you can see, clearly it is MUCH more cost and time (and time = more cost) effective to sell your ingots and BUY the turn-in items. In fact, considering the going rate is roughly 8-10mil for the glasses, I would argue that crafting them causes you to lose money.

And this doesn't even take into account the time gone in to mining. There is no way you can mine 1,000,000 +/- ingots per day without several accounts script mining at once. Oh, and don't forget the cost of crafting enough tools to make that many items, I didn't include that!

I know that sometimes playing the game is more about self sufficiency. Learn to mine, learn to craft, use all this stuff to get some glasses. It's not for making money, etc, etc, etc it's just to do it all myself! The issue is that with sufficiency comes inefficiency and scripting is ALL ABOUT efficinecies IMO.

Of course this is only one nerd's rant lol.

Definitely understand your point but the reason I asked is because I have loads of iron ingots sitting around and taking up space....there are no other uses for them that I consider worth doing; donating them to clean up is a no no as the conversion rate is horrible, 60k ingots for 6k points YIKES!  I can donate directly to the library but again, the rewards from doing so are worthless.  Thus is why I wanted to see if a smith/tool tinker subscript can be added to this as I think that would be an excellent use of ingots :)

Hi Folks, my name is Van and I'm a certified UO addict.  I had tried many other MMOs out there but they all bored me after I've gone through my trial period and I always come back to UO.  Maybe because UO was my first MMO or maybe I have been playing the game since it first came out in 1997 when I was just a teenager.  This game gave and continue to give me good experiences and you could do anything you wanted in this game.  Needless to say, this will probably be the only MMO I'll play for the rest of my life just because it is so flexible.  You can do what you want when you have time, there's no need to log in and play 10 hours a day of raiding just to get the best gear; and with me working and will be in grad school soon, gaming time is limited.  One of my favorite memories playing this game was hearing the song "Stone" at the login screen; the song brings up an emotional and nostalgic feeling that I can't describe.  I think when it comes time for my funeral, that's the song I want my family to play.

Anyway, I think that's enough of me rambling about myself lol...I happened to stumble upon this site because a couple of script writers who wrote for EasyUO is also writing for this board I believe.  So I figure I'd check this board out to see how's the community here.  I'm a UO junkie but am not looking to get arthritis playing the game; as you know, there are too much clicking especially when it comes to crafting (and I love crafting).  So I've been on EasyUO board for a very long time now and kind of a novice scripter myself; although since I haven't play in UO for a little bit and haven't tinker with any scripts during my time away.  I think I've forgot most of what I learned  :'(.  I hope to get to know you fellow UO junkies and hopefully I can learn a thing or two being here on this board.  You all have a good day!

Van

P.S. I play on Catskills if there are any Catskillians on here...I think the population isn't the same as it was when I left it 3-4 years ago, which is kind of sad for me.  ATL apparently is the place to be but it's not my cup of tea; am always a Catskillian at heart  :P.
