Moving large quantities from location to location

[12TimesOver]

http://www.scriptuo.com is not a bug forum however this particular bug has been discussed openly for quite some time and is extremely useful. I'm sure it won't be long before it's patched if it isn't already but in the meantime, here you go.

Steps for moving mass quantities/weight between houses or bankbox/house.

Requirements
1) Two accounts or a friend
2) Source and target locations must be on the same sub-server and facet (use UOAM to determine)
3) Must be enough storage available in the target house or bankbox to receive the items (yes, it seems obvious but believe me I forget to check this more often than I care to admit)

Process - example moving from house to bank
1) Figure out what town is on the same subserver as your house
2) Have a rune marked to the bank on "mover" char
3) Both accounts/chars logged in at house
4) Lock down a bag on the floor
5) Put another bag into the first bag, fill this bag with whatever you want to move (other containers can be put in this bag
6) Unlock the bag
7) Character 2 opens the bag and drags the second bag onto cursor
 Character 1 picks up now empty bag from flooor, recalls to bank, and puts empty bag in the bankbox
9) Character 2 now closes UO by clicking the "X" in the window - this simulates UO crashing
10) If everything is done correctly, the bag that Character 2 had on his cursor when closing the UO client should now be back in the first bag which has been moved to your bankbox

Notes
1)The same thing can be accomplished by preparing a bag in another container then simply dropping it on the ground or floor of your house, you don't need to lock the bag down to make this work. This is how you would do it to move items from bank to house for example, just don't do it at Luna bank or something
2) If this fails the bag will drop to the ground where Character 2 was holding it when they closed their client so be careful. Causes of failure include not meeting the requirements listed above

That's it. Like I said, I've used this to move between two houses on the same subserver as well.

Enjoy

I don't know if they will fix this though.  It was created to make sure people didn't drop their items on the ground and lose them when dragging to main pack etc.  It prevented scams and other crappy situations.  We will see.  If they fix this it will open up mass harmful exploits unfortunately for players.

I don't see them fixing this since its more helpful than harmful.  one of these day's they will allow us to move mass quantities in a single box.  no... they probably wont.

That will be the 12 year reward box and it will look like a christmas gift box lol and they will cost 29.95 from the uo store so you will have to wait till next year to get it lol.

the problem with UO is they want everything to be Automated now...  they could have you simply hire a Gm or EM whatever for 20 bucks and have them do all the foot work for you. instead if they do make a transferable box we will find a way to bug it, dupe it, or even some how overload it.

[Masscre]

Or bug it so we can overload it and use it for perma storage

Damn...I want 2 then!!!!

So how can I tell is the 2 locations are on the same sub-server?
The original post says to use UOA to do that. I don't know how to use UOA to do it.

UOAM not UOA

UOAM not UOA

Okay so now the question becomes how do you check with UOAM.
I have a working copy of UOAM at home I'll poke around with it later.

[12TimesOver]

When you Open UOAM you will notice large blocks broken up with a light dotted line, these blocks represent sub-server lines.

That explained it perfectly. Thanks.
