OK, probably not a script problem as it is so wide spread. 

But, I am having these issues on two different PCs at two different physical locations with two different OSs (XP and Vista).

The most recent problem is with Genesis' Auto Item Buyer. I read the posts on this site and the last 8 pages of posts on EUO site (until the release of 3.5). I did not find a similar issue: The buyer works for everything except actually buying. The menu opens and scrolls. The stats screen records gold spent, regs and bottles purchased. However, no gold is actually spent, no regs are purchased, and the buy menu shows nothing being purchased.

I recently had a problem with Twinkle McNugget's (very funny...the text replace) and Spewey's mining: no mining was ever done. Just recall from site to site. Once the scripts stopped working for a character they never worked again, even when restting spots (Twinkle McNugget's). I checked the spots manually, there is ore. After my 6th miner on the third shard stopped working I gave up.

Other issues include:

CyberPope's mining radar does not launch, no error, nothing
krustenkrabbe's SupplyShopper does not work. I used this for years, but it has been a while.

Do not know if this still works.

If you have a quest item in your backpack and transfer that character from one shard to another the item will be able to be removed from the back pack. Note: If this still works....the item cannot be moved once dropped. But, if it still works it will be bright orange and allows you to remove items that can normally not be removed from your pack; in this case the tuition reimbursement scroll.

Months ago I was told by a guy in-game that he could solo the SoV. I have also seen several YouTube videos indicating the same. So, I set out to create a character to do this. I am on a dead shard with very few people available but I like to fight tough monsters.

I use a Chiv/Disco/Thrower with some very good armor and a ton of pots. With EEO, Agility and Strength potions, and consecrate weapon I average 77 points of damage per 1.2 seconds. My template is Disco 120, Musci 120, Throwing 120, Anatomy 102.5, Chivalry 92.5, Tactics 100, Resist 120. Str 141, Health 143, Dex 134, Stam 156, Int 11, Mana 41. Stamina regen 7, Mana regen 11, Hit regen 2. HCI 40, DCI 34, DI 60.

I have successfully soloed the SoV about ten times. I have killed the SoV dozens of times with one other person (Mystic/mage). Here are my questions:

How long does it take to solo the SoV?
According to the guy in-game...who is never available to let me see him do it....he takes 20 minutes to kill the SoV and never dies. According to the YouTube video it takes 16 minutes....the video is edited for time, never shows the SoV freezing the character, and the character never dies. I'm gonna have to call bullshit on both claims. It takes me 80 minutes to kill the SoV because every death takes time to rez and reset. I could probably kill the SoV myself in 40 minutes if I never died. So, not only do these guys never die, they do twice the damage I do.

How can I avoid dying to the SOV?
I have only died when frozen with fear. This occurrs often in the first half of the SoVs life. In the second half he slows down a lot. Until the recent patch you could drink an invisibility potion while frozen with fear. However, you were often interupted. I do not know if the new patch allows for it, but I could use turkey feathers or invis items, but those are both very limited. So, how do I survive being frozen? The other guy who goes with me has healing and often powers through being attacked while frozen, but I have to have music and discord on my template.

How can I improve my performance?
I can't drop music and disco, can I?
I can't drop resist. I died all the time without it.
Could I replace Chiv with Healing? Lower damage, but power through the freezing.

Hello all,

My handle is Puebles. A nickname accidentally given to me by a dear departed friend 34 years ago: I miss you Tony.

I begain playing UO about 14 years ago. I played for about 3 years and loved the game. However, my children were young and I really had to make a choice. A very tough one indeed.

After a break of nearly 7 years I came back to UO four years ago, interesting changes. I think they are mostly for the good. Best part is I get to tell "when I first played...." stories to my guildmates. They play well with my "When I was your age...." stories. Oh, and bad jokes....some very bad.

You might have guessed that I am no spring chicken. I will celebrate my 50th this month. I am married and have three children, all in college. I am not sure about this generation of theirs...not one of my kids plays any kind of video/computer games. Kids these days!

I do have a tendancy to make knee-jerk reactions; like bypassing the READ ME FIRST posts and ICQing Cerveza asking why I cannot download?....ah...sorry . The good thing is that I am capable of learning and I do some programming on the side. Not enough to claim to be a programmer. But, I am interested in learning how to script. I have altered scripts, usually to update for use with gargoyles.

I have been using scripts for the past four years from that other site. Some have been useful. But, from what I read, this is the site I need to be using.

So, I hope that Cerveza can forgive my indiscretion...and the rest will accept me.

BTW, How cool is Trailmyx's GIF....I watch that often. I guess at my advanced age it is the little things.....
