Title: TrailMyx's Lightning Fast Hiding/Stealth Trainer 1.0
Post by: TrailMyx on June 09, 2008, 01:11:57 PM
Code: [Select]
;-----------------------------------------------------------
; Script Name: TrailMyx's Lightning-Fast Hiding/Stealth Trainer
; Author: TrailMyx
; Version: 1.4
; Client Tested with: 6.0.1.6
; EUO version tested with: 1.5 118
; Shard: OSI, FS(?)
; Revision Date:  6/15/2007
; Public Release: ...
; Global Variables Used: None
; Purpose/Features:
;   Helps you train up your hiding and stealth fast with the
;  use of the "pen trick".  This script was inspired from Freddy's
;  multiskill trainer.  I turbocharged his pen trick sub, and added that
;  to my own hiding trainer.  Finally, I made the script also use the
;  pen trick for stealth.
;
;  For stealth, you can train up to 60ish with normal cloths, then switch to a
;  studded-leather armor suit up to near GM.  Just stand in place and run.  Be
;  sure you have an inscription pen....
;---------------------------------------------------------

Note you can now set the skillpoint where you start using stealth by popular request.

Stealth Training Tips:

(From Stratics)
0 - 30     Buy skill from NPC
30 - 65    Normal Clothes
65 - 95    Full Studded Leather Suit
95 - 100    Full Studded Leather Suit + Close Helm

This is good information.  Still is valid as of 3/12/2009.  Just be sure you buy your Stealth to over 30.0.  If you try to start your stealth from zero, you *WILL* get stuck at 25.0.  Also, be sure you start with enough strength to wear studded leather (35 strength)

 As of 7/15/2009 the PEN trick no longer works.

Just a quick correction:

Change the line that says this:

Code: [Select]
if #skill = %target_hiding_to_start_stealth

to this:

Code: [Select]
if #skill >= %target_hiding_to_start_stealth

If you are wanting to start training your stealth before you get to 100.0 hiding.  Sorry for the little logic error.  I was just training someone and noticed this bug.

If you do try and start training stealth and hiding at the same time, you should start training stealth when your hiding reaches 75.0.  I just made a hider/stealther and I started training when hiding reached 70.0.  I found I was left with about 2.0 hiding remaining after I GMed stealth.  So 75.0 should be a good number to GM both attributes at about the same time.

Pearls had this thought regarding when to start if you are trying to achieve legendary hiding:

well just wanted to post, that u were talking about 70-75 skill recommendation, but u were talking about gm stealth, so in case of legendary i suppose its best to start at 50 i think it is no? in ur house

Welllllp, I could be wrong but I don't seem to be able to get the pentrick to work anymore. I was having trouble with my own pentrick routine while training hiding up so I decided to try this one and no dice, only attempting to hide once every 11 seconds or so.

I hope it's just me!! That would be a drag :-(

Ya, just a couple weeks ago I used this to GM everything.  So at the moment we're good.  It will be a dark and dreary day for mankind when they fix this one.  If you can GM magery in a couple days, why can't you GM hiding or stealth?  Come on, EA?  Didn't their mommas tell them that their heads do not fit in their butts?  The ears get stuck, and if you're elf or vulcan it can be painful during removal.

Interesting. For the life of me I can't get it to work on the char I'm testing with on LS. I'm glad to hear that though! I'll keep plugging away until I figure it out. Sorry for the scare :p

Im running this again on a character, i think its probably the 4th or 5th char im gm'in hiding on, again works like a charm. Just wish 90-100 would be little quicker, cant imagine how hard it must be without the bug...

Oh yeh, if you can GM magery, necromancy, etc in a couple days, why-o-why can't you GM this too.  As it stands now if you were to start hiding/stealth without this bug, it would literally take weeks to GM these.  I would loose interest quickly for sure.  That's the problem with most of the UO skill system is that you are pretty worthless until you get at least Master in a skill and you have to concentrate on a skill in order to advance it quickly.  I'm sure they'd love to have people just "play" their characters up through the ranks, but they loose sight of how many of us have been playing the game for so long and would rather be able to take the express bus to the skills station.

You probably used the 8x8 method?  That would be a couple/few days to find the runs at the end.  But without that, I would image it would take longer.

Really, you can do the math.  It takes about 2 days to GM hiding using the pen trick.  Generally you have a 2 second delay between using the pen again to reset the timer, and normally it takes 10 seconds for the skill to become available for use, so you are talking about 10 days of straight macroing to GM hiding.  This is far from accurate, just a SWAG.

well I can't say exactly how long it took, but it was within the last year so 8x8 has already been done and gone with. I might have even trained hiding passively with stealth once I Hit 80 Hiding.. but it was around 1 week but It could have been longer....

WoW this works great can you post a script that just runs the pen trick so we can train other skills if we wanted I cant seem to tear it apart just to get pen trick to run

It's all in there.  You just have to do a bit of editing.

A few years have gone by since anyone has posted, does this "pen trick" still work?

fastest way to train stealth now is via moongates... try mine or Timothy's...  or u can probably use this without the trick part.

I'm sure the hiding and stealth still work, but the pen trick is LONG LONG dead.
