Games & Game Systems / Guild Wars II
« on: March 14, 2012, 11:06:11 AM »
Has anyone been looking at Guild Wars II? Man, it's looking pretty damn sweet. Been reading and watching quite a bit of press and have checked out a couple of trailers and teasers. I'm thinking about pre-ordering on April 10.

Anyone?

Off Topic / Managing Home Finances
« on: December 28, 2011, 06:31:53 AM »
Hey all -

Just wondering what people are using to manage their home finances - budgeting, etc. I've committed to getting this part of my house in order asap and have been considering purchasing Quicken to assist. A close friend of mine does everything on a spreadsheet and I can certainly keep it that simple, but this won't as easily help me manage investments, retirement savings, etc as well as Quicken might, or are there some other tools out there?

What is your experience? Should I pull the trigger on Quicken Premier 2012? A different version? A different product?

Public Bugs / Empty a runebook - forever??
« on: October 29, 2011, 03:07:20 AM »
Hey all -

I wonder if anyone else can test this just to make sure it isn't something with my setup. This isn't exactly an amazing bug since the implications are minor but it is pretty cool and, honestly, this is probably the first bug I've stumbled across myself in the last ten years!

I have a Razor macro "Empty Runebook" which simply opens a runebook and drops run 1. I then loop it and I can empty a runebook in 16 or less seconds (1 rune per second or slightly less).

This morning when running it I noticed that my Fel-marked runes all got reset to "unused". I was ticked because this meant running around and marking more runes to my mining spots. That's when I also noticed I had more than 16 runes in my pack. I started my macro again and it kept going! I ended up selling about 1000 blank runes to the mage shop. I tested this against two different books made by two different people, one very recently so I know it wasn't one of the old "bugged" runebooks from years ago.

Rate is too slow to be a worthwhile gold farming exploit but I suppose even roughly 20k per hour just standing there is better than nothing.

Can anyone else duplicate with Razor? UOA? EUO? I'm heading to play some hoops.

UO-Related Tutorials / UO Config File Management 101
« on: October 27, 2011, 05:02:28 AM »
I have been asked many times in the past to help someone copy settings from one character to another, setup default desktops for new characters, etc, etc. It occurred to me that some of the things I take for granted as common knowledge really aren't as common as I think. It also occurred to me that posting some UO file management lessons could save some people considerable headaches and time.

So, to that end, this thread is to discuss some basic UO configuration processes and hopefully demystify some of these tasks for people not as familiar or even as confident with the file system.

This discussion assumes that you:

1) Understand the basics of files and folders
2) Know how to browse to "My Documents" and get to the UO folder

Basic Windows file management is not discussed here, if you don't know how to do this you should consider learning before performing some of these tasks.

You should also understand that some of the paths here may be different then your own file paths depending on what OS you're running, what version of Ultima Online you started with, where you installed to, etc. I will be using examples matching my own paths and covering XP and Windows 7 as much as possible however you may find that yours differs slightly.

NOTE - anytime you modify a system file such as the ones discussed here you should consider making a copy of it somewhere as a backup. I am not responsible for anything you do wrong to your own PC while trying to follow these instructions!!

12TimesOvers' Script Library / XIIxOveR's Single Pet Vet - 1.0
« on: September 16, 2011, 12:35:05 PM »
Code: [Select]
;==================================================
; Script Name: XIIxOveR's Single Pet Vet
; Author: XIIxOveR
; Version: 1.0
; Revision: 09/11
; Purpose: Train Vet
;==================================================Description:
As with all of my training scripts, I needed to train a skill and wasn't totally happy with my script options so I threw one together. It's not perfect but it did the trick for me! This script will train Vet using a single account and a single pet. This does not require you to put the pet in an unreachable location, etc. It simply tells the pet to stay then walks away a couple of steps.

Script includes the 12x RoT Timer for Siege and Mugen.
 
Requirements
 1. Enough Magery to cast Magic Arrow (doesn't take much)
 2. A mount
 3. Bandaids
 4. LRC suit
 5. Must be either guilded and/or in Fel

Instructions:
 1. Put a ton of bandaids in your pack (an open container close by will work too)
 2. Mount a horse, bonded is always handy in case it dies
 3. Press play

Notes:
 1. You can keep bandaids in a container if you can leave it open from wherever you are standing. The script will look in any open container, I just didn't feel like coding a Secure since the toon walks a couple steps away from the mount at start thus making containers annoying.
 2. Be smart. Posts reporting the following script problems will be singled out and the poster ridiculed unmercifully!
     a) the script user is trying to train Vet against a casting pet and getting themselves killed
     b) the script user is max'd out in SDI and Eval and is killing the pet with a single Magic Arrow

Scripting Chat / Wait command
« on: August 12, 2011, 11:06:09 AM »
Can anyone tell me if the Wait command supports the use of an equation as the value or if it requires the actual value to be set first? For example -

I know I can do this:
Code: [Select]
set %Wait 50
Wait %Wait
But can I do this?
Code: [Select]
Wait ( 25 + 25 )
Or, more imporatantly, I know that I can do this:
Code: [Select]
gosub PoisonItem
set %TempSCNT2 #SCNT2
gosub CureAndHeal
set %PoisWait 180 - ( ( #SCNT2 - %TempSCNT2 ) * 2 ) ;set %PoisWait to 9 seconds minus the time that already went by during the Healing/Curing sub call
wait %PoisWait
But can I do this?
Code: [Select]
gosub PoisonItem
set %TempSCNT2 #SCNT2
gosub CureAndHeal
Wait 180 - ( ( #SCNT2 - %TempSCNT2 ) * 2 ) ;Same as above without first setting the variable

Scripting Chat / #LPC
« on: August 07, 2011, 04:51:05 AM »
Looking for a little feedback on the use of #LPC in a script or sub. I understand what #LPC is and have read what is actually not a bad Advanced Tutorial that Cheffe did a long time ago on EasyUO. The piece that I would like to understand is when people decide to change it in their scripts. What kind of actions, etc are you upping #LPC for?

For example, TM, you change the #LPC to 100 in your casting subs. Why?

TIA for any feedback.

Inactive Submissions / What is Inactive Submissions?
« on: May 15, 2011, 03:12:23 AM »
Welcome to Inactive Submissions!

In an ongoing effort to bring better organization to the script submission and approval process we have added the Inactive Submissions board.

This Board will be used moving forward as a "bucket" for holding scripts that have been submitted to "Script Submissions" but who's authors seem to have become inactive or have simply stopped development of the script. There is a ton of excellent code and ideas here which would be a shame to lose so it was decided that, for now, we would hold on to the work rather than purging it with the hope that other's can still benefit from the efforts or that the author's will return to pick it back up.

The process is still evolving thus the rules are always subject to change, however we will start with the following:

1) A script from the "Submissions" board that has gone "unsupported" for 90 days or more will be moved to "Inactive Submissions"
2) Once a script is moved to Inactive, further discussion within the script's thread will be available only to Moderator's and Admin's (permissions are still being worked out so this may not be perfect at first)
3) If you are a script author and find that your script has been moved to Inactive but you would like to pick back up on it's development or remove it from the site alltogether you can contact a Moderator or Admin to have it move back into Submissions or simply deleted.
4) The decision to re-activate an Inactive script is at the Moderator's or Admin's discretion
5) If a script has been moved to Inactive and you would like to take over the support and development of the script but are not the script's author, you can contact a Mod or Admin to have it reactivated. This will require that the standard ScriptUO rules for taking over another's work have been followed, namely appropriate permission from the original auther or reasonable attempts at obtaining such permission, and is also at the Mod or Admin's discression.

Note - this board will house only inactive scripts from the Submissions board, not from the script library itself.

Hopefully this step will help us in our effort toward developing a more understandable and usable script submisison/approval process and will be the first of a number of changes to come!

Keep those submissions coming!

Feedback / Potential addition for future versions?
« on: May 12, 2011, 11:29:14 AM »
One thing I really like about some of the other text editors I use is the ability to do a Replace with a blank "Replace With" value. I noticed today when I tried to delete about 40 matching lines in a sub that the Replace function will give you an error "You must enter a string to replace with for." if you try to leave the "Replace Text" field blank to simply delete every line that matches the "Find Text" value. A space could work but this would leave a blank line for each delete.

In short, a way to simply Find all matching lines then delete them or replace them with an empty string.

Scripting Chat / Some Namespace questions...
« on: May 12, 2011, 07:27:44 AM »
Hey all,

Been working on revamping a lot of my EUO code as I've come a long way and learned many new things and better ways of implementing logic with each script I write. I still have much longer to go though and right now I have a couple of basic questions about Namespaces that I'm hoping someone will be willing and able to clear up for me.

First, is there a reason to use Namespace Clear other than making sure your variables are back to N/A the next time you come around to use the sub? I can see this as a good best practice of course, especially in a sub that could have different %0 values with each call depending on what you are wanting it to do. But is there any memory impact or performance degradation associated with not clearing these that is actually quantifiable?

The other question is functional. I know that we can set the #RESULT sys var to a value that we want to return then perform a "return #RESULT" after "pop'ng" the namespace. How about 2 return values? More? I also understand you can use Namespace Copy to pass variables between namespaces, would this be the right way to do this? It seems a little messy but if that's the only way...

Always appreciate the help guys!

Bug discussion / Multiple files open saving overwriting wrong file?
« on: May 10, 2011, 10:00:10 AM »
Ok, I have been putting off this one for a bit now because I assumed it was just me being stupid but it's happened enough times now that I think it's worth mentioning.

I have found on several occasions that when I have several script files open and make modifications and save them the scripts overwrite one of the other open scripts. For example, I open scripta, scriptb, make changes to scripta and scriptb, save scripta and scriptb, then later go open scripta and it's the contents of scriptb.

This is a rough example because I haven't experimented enough to actually duplicate it at will to see when it is really happening, for example is it two files open? Three files open? Only when I hit the Save shortcut icon in the toolbar or is it also when I select Save File or Save As under the File menu? I don't know.

And even worse, it certainly is possible that I've screwed up and saved over the wrong files somehow, now three times over the last two days. Now considering that I'm typically very careful to begin with it would be unusual for me to do something like that even once. Of course I'm not immune to doing stupid things so once will surely happen eventually. After that though I am hyper-aware of making sure I'm saving to the right locations and not overwriting files but somehow I go back to edit something I worked on and it's a copy of a different script.

Today this happened where I went to open a 14k Crafter Sub I've been working on only to find that it contained only about 20 lines of a totally different sub I had been working on later in the day. Fortunately I just happened to have a copy of this sub elsewhere but yesterday I had to repeat about an hour's worth of work when it happened to a sub I didn;t have a copy of somewhere else. The third time I was able to recover most of the lost work from the .bak file.

So anyone else have wierdness like this? Like I said, maybe it's just me. I'll try testing some more - with some dummy files of course - and see if I can come up with anything more substantial.

Off Topic / Web-based photo management.
« on: May 05, 2011, 06:21:59 AM »
So I'm just curious what people use for managing and printing their digital photos.

I've been using Shutterfly for a while now. A few years ago I sent the same 10 pictures to three of the main web-based printing companies: Shutterfly, Kodak, and Walmart. I also brought the same pictures to be developed at my local Costco. Out of all four, Shutterfly had the best quality picture hands-down. All of the services had similar features and their own list of pros and cons so I based my choice solely on image quality and have been using Shutterfly ever since.

Now I'm re-evaluating. I want to be able to setup an online photo "gallery" where I can manage all of my photos plus any home videos, etc in a way that will allow friends and family to browse, download, or purchase. I can do some of this with Shutterfly but it's a little complex to get setup and before I moved forward with it I figured I would ask around. I really like Smugmug, and it get's the highest reviews, but it's a pay service. Not necessarily a deal breaker but before I commit to $40/yr I want to make sure there aren't better options out there.

So what do you use? Why?

Script Debug / Scanjournal weirdness
« on: April 25, 2011, 04:54:23 PM »
Having some very odd results with some journal scanning, maybe someone can see something I don't.

Consider the following:

Code: [Select]
set %jindexvalue #jindex
do stuff here that puts entries in the journal

if #jindex >= %JindexValue
   {
   for %i %jindexvalue #jindex
      {
      scanjournal %i
      if :_The_Lock_Quickly_Yields in #journal || if This_does_not_appear_to_be_locked in #journal
         set %unlocked #TRUE
         }
      }
So, when this runs the value of #journal is You_are_unable_to_pick_the_lock BUT for some reason, the "if" statement is coming up as true thus setting %unlocked to #TRUE even though neither of those strings are in #journal. I have even done this in Luna hitting F7 so the value of #jindex had increased by 10 or 11 and this thing runs fine through every frigging line until it hits You_are_unable_to_pick_the_lock.

I'm going nuts here! lol.
