I can't help with the file recovery, but I have had some experience with many sleazy landlords in the past.

Was this incident recent?  Is there any mold?  Was any of your personal property damaged (on video)?  Do you have renters insurance?  Are they threatening your deposit, or wanting funds from you directly?  Does your lease allow pets?

It's easy for me to be biased and say "get a lawyer," because my wife is one, but if the dollar amounts are creeping up it may be worth it.  Usually a formal letter with a BAR number listed at the bottom is enough to make the smart sleaze balls back peddle.  The dumb ones who still think they can pull some quick easy fraud often find they've opened a can of worms they were not prepared for.

You don't have to reply if you aren't comfortable, I just want you to keep in mind going into this that the landlord is not nearly as powerful as society places them (ask any landlord who has had nightmare tenants just how helpless they are!), so don't give them an inch!  Just stick to your guns, and make sure you are constantly taking pictures.

Yeah I was asking if you could damage/poison/curse them while still mounted.  A long ways back there were a few exploits that depended on modifying your pets stats or killing it while still mounted.

Oh well, still a cool trick.  Thank you so much for sharing!

I've been browsing reddit /datahoarding while researching a plex set up for my new house

Lots of good info for setting up your own NAS build and choosing drives, but be warned the people on that subreddit have deep pockets and aren't afraid to drop thousands on their setups and redundancy systems

Since you are planning on coordinating actions between two clients, I suggest learning about persistent variables by reading the easyuo documentation (http://wiki.easyuo.com/index.php?title=Variables).  It is hard to read an allies hp vs. your own or an enemies. Instead of using OCR, just tell the other client what the current hp is!  Go on test center where no one will bother you and have the second client say the current hp of the first every few seconds.  Play on the first client and damage yourself several times to test that it is working correctly.  You can press F7 to walk through each line in a script to find spots where it hangs up or behaves funny.  As you get basic parts keep building more and more complexity into the scripts.

Client 2:
main_loop:

repeat

if my allies *currenthp is less than his *maxhp
{
    msg My BFF has *currenthp HP $
    wait 30
    ; gosub healing
}
; gosub barding *enemyid

until #CharGhost = YES
while #CharGhost = YES
    msg you said you would protect me! $
    halt
GoTo main_loop

Client 1:
main_loop:

repeat

set my max hp to *maxhp ; in case of buff/debuff
set my current hp to *currenthp
wait 20

until #CharGhost = YES
while #CharGhost = YES
    msg nice healing, anusface $
    halt
GoTo main_loop

Once you get the above working modify it to display an enemy ID from the first client on the second.  You can then use that to auto target your bard skills.  I would use finditem in your backpack to look for bandages so you don't have to hardcode the ID each time.

To understand how to organize the flow of your script and use a wrapper/loop read (http://www.scriptuo.com/index.php?topic=976.0)

You could consider adding some small waits in your subs for stability, and also using timers to figure out when you should use the next bard skill or bandaid (http://www.scriptuo.com/index.php?topic=12094.0)


I'm not great at scripting, but that's a start until the Wizards can explain more.

The lower runics are more desirable because they allow you to have more control over the mods that are rolled when runic reforging.  Val and barbed runic will impart 4-5 mods, and your chances of them all being your desired outcome are low.  Also, for whatever reason, higher runics lose the ability to manually reforge certain properties, such as 150 luck.  The whole crafting system is backward now..

Used this script to 120, very fast and well put together.  Had one hang up at ~117 skill where it decided to fill my pack with fancy dresses and then just sit there, but after a quick restart it worked again flawlessly.  Much faster and less clunky than CEO turbotailor!  Thanks for sharing!

Same ol story, playing off and on for like 10 years. Got the itch again... Was hoping I could just get a shotgun blast of information on what's happening in today's UO (EA/Broadsword? servers). I don't have any method to my questions, just what I can think of right now. Any help is appreciated!

UO is the only game I've never been able to let go.  There seriously needs to be a support group!

Where are the best items from (pvp and pve)? Crafted, Shame, Doom, Peerless, Imbuing, random turn-in sources, etc.?
-What mods should I be looking for (in general)?

Crafting and farming very high end bosses produce the best items.  Artifacts play a minor role now, as many items can now drop as random loot that put some old artifacts to shame!  All spots have at least 1 or 2 artifacts that drop which are still relevant.

Are all dungeons updated to the "new" Shame format?

They made "shame loot" global to all mobs.  The fist mob I killed after a 10 year break was a solen warrior in fel, and it dropped an item that would have been worth 10+ mil at the time I quit playing!

Is the Abyss/Underworld/Peerless still relevant?

Everything is still relevant, but the effort vs. reward ratios vary substantially between different areas of the game.  Example: Armor of fortune is still useful from doom, but you are just as likely to get other artifact drops that are worse than currently craftable items.

What are some of the strong templates used for farming the best items?

The all purpose template is a sampire with high end gear.  However, the best template is actually based on what you plan to farm as all farming spots have unique highly specialized templates and gear to maximize efficiency.  You can solo it all with 1 toon if you have enough soul stones and suits.

What are some easy farm spots I can start out on with a 120x tamer w/ greater dragon to get reacquainted to the game?
-Harder solo content?

With the new mastery system a tamer with a greater can do 95% of the content solo... The problem is it is super slow compared to other specialized templates.  If you have multiple accounts a tamer makes a great support character for tanking/disco/back healing...

Best all-around pets to use as a tamer?

There are very few situations where other pets would outclass a greater.  There is a new dragon turtle pet, but it is basically just a greater drag.

Any current events going on? I think Blackthorn/Minax items farming was the thing to do during my last stretch.

One of the devs hinted on the stratics forums that a new story arc involving the tribes of the new dinosaur lands would start in the future.

What are the fun things you guys are currently doing?

Rebuilding myself back up from peasant status.  Theory crafting multi box strats for content. 

I read the thread on the T-Hunters and that sounds like fun, are they still relevant? (have never had one before!)

Treasure hunting is a zen thing for most people.  You either love it or hate it!  It's not considered the most profitable profession, but if you consistently do level 6 maps you WILL make gold.

What is PvP based around? VvV, Champ spawns, harrowers, Yew gate, etc?

This is shard specific, but my best answer after some scouting is that pvp currently centers around general chat

Other useful, up to date, websites? UOGuide, Searchuo, finduo, stratics, etc?

The most reliable information by far comes from this site.  Stratics is almost intolerable, because it is plagued by an extremely vocal minority of posters with their own agendas.  Be sure to vet any information you get from UO guide or stratics, it is usually contradictory or outdated/wrong.  I've been burned by this a couple times already.

Active/mature guilds on Atlantic with voice comms that I could look into joining?

If you ask in general chat most shards have guilds which cater to new or returning players and are desperate to cultivate the player community.

Great script! Thanks for sharing!

Only required an easy QOL modification.  When you cross sub servers it seems that all your +stats are reapplied, meaning you land at your recall location with <100% HP.  I wear +str gear on my gatherers to increase the amount of weight they can carry, which trips up the script, making it think you got damaged right after recalling.

If anyone has the same problem just look for the "check_health" sub to modify what threshold you want the script to escape at!
