 :D

Well I have been away for awhile, But decided to jump back in for a few tonight to see how things where going on in the world of UO, and ScriptUO...

No, I'm not back in the game as of yet, as I got me a promotion and am now managing the deli at the store I work at. So my time is even more limited that it was before....sheesh...

So Until school gets back into session and I have a few hours kid free again, My time is not really my own...
But its good to be able to come back and just say hiya s once in awhile...

Oh, and my new computer is a real blast... :)

Off Topic / Customer Support
« on: January 14, 2009, 10:36:08 PM »
Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.
(Now I  know why they record these conversations!):

Operator:         'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller:   ;           'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator:         'What sort of trouble??'
Caller:              'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator:         'Went away?'
Caller:              'They disappeared'
Operator:         'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'
Ca ller:               'Nothing.'
Operator:         'Nothing??'
Caller:              'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator:        'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller:              'How do I tell?'
Operator:        'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen??'
Caller:              'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator:         'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller:              'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept a nothing I type.'
Operator:         'Does your monitor have a power  indicator??'
Caller:              'What's a monitor?'
Operator:         'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??'
Caller:               'I don't know.'
Operator:          'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller:              'Yes, I think so.'
Operator:         'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller:           'Yes, it is.'
Operator:         'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller:               'No.'
Operator:          'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller:               'Okay, here it is.'
Operator:          'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller:               'I can't reach.'
Operator:          'OK. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller:               'No.'
Operator:          'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller:               'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.'
Operator:          'Dark??'
Caller:               'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.'
Operator:           'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller:               'I can't.'
Operator:          'No? Why not??'
Caller:             'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator:           'A power .... A power failure?  Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer cam e in??'
Caller:               'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator:           'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller:                'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator:           'Yes, I'm afraid it  is.'
Caller:                'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'
Operator:           'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer.

General UO Chat / Plant tending....
« on: December 22, 2008, 08:21:15 PM »
Is there any way possible, that someone one with better scripting skills than myself, could some how get the Hort-o-matic up and running with the new resources? and plants?  The author has said on page 25 of the thread on EUO that he is not going to be working on it anymore, and someone else could take up the slack, so I'm guessing its abandon-ware?

I have tried to make it work for me, and I can get it to recognize the new plants that have resources, but will not gather them, or the seeds... Sooo, If anyone can do it, it would be a great thing.. OR.... a new one that works?? from anywhere? or anyone?

Thanks.....

Games & Game Systems / Fallout 3....
« on: November 10, 2008, 11:16:41 AM »
Well I got fallout 3 the other day, And fell in love right away... Very good game, Falls in line with the other fallout's and the FPS/RPG combination makes it a blast...

But.. Today I finished it.. BUMMERRRRRR....

Ok, gaming wise, If you follow the main story line, You are going to miss out on a ton of the game...

Thank god it moddable, as that will help in the replay ability of it very much, Just waiting on the publisher to get the SDK Out and that will make it a little easier.. I hope..

I plan on getting back into it and trying to finish other quests I had started before finishing up the story line quest.... Maybe go dark.. and evil... hehehe

Anyway,
Back to gaming..

Script Debug / Recall Harvester, First real script release
« on: October 27, 2008, 06:22:06 AM »
First off, This community has given me the want to contribute, So here is something I have been working on for awhile, Its my first ever script release that seems to me to work as planned.. :)

What it does?
Recalls around to different areas to harvest items from plants, like Wheat, Cotton, Veggies, to sheep wool.

When it gets to an area that you have marked, It looks for items to harvest, If its plants on the ground, it will run to the plants, harvest the item, then pick up the harvest. If there are sheep in the area, like the Yew sheep pens, it will shear the woolly sheep, then kill them using your desired method. In this version, It only supports magery, Thats where I'm in need of a little help.
I would also like to be able to track a little better the sheep killed, and items harvested. So far its all hacked up, and not working right. Ideas? Help? All are welcome, and needed in these 2 areas... If you see anything else I need to address, let me know that also ..



To make this work, You must have 2 rune books, one for banks, and one for areas to harvest. In the setup, you will need to select the books, and a knife for the sheep. you will need to be close to a bank, and a container in the bank to drop the items to when your full up. I was going to have it setup to select what you want to harvest, But instead, I decided to just have it set to harvest everything, If you don't want to harvest veggies, then don't mark a rune there. same with everything else. Uses multiple bank runes, so that your not abusing only one bank, thus giving away the fact that you may be UAM'ing...

I have used many subs from many different contributers, Thanks go out to all of you..


Added as an attachment.. download this, it should be correct... :)
Sorry all, Still new to all this...
