Off Topic / Campus alerts have great descriptions
« on: September 11, 2011, 11:52:54 AM »
I've recently taken to reading campus alerts.  Some of them have been downright funny.

Quote
Alert: Police are searching the South Campus for a black male who escaped custody after being arrested for loitering.  Has a handcuff on his left wrist, wearing jeans with a rope belt and T-shirt.  Last seen in the vicinity of ****** parking lot

How does a guy wearing a handcuff and a belt made out of rope elude the police?

Receipes / Really good chicken marsala
« on: September 07, 2011, 04:42:05 PM »
I suggest you avoid recipes with sherry. Those recipes are always disappointing.  I had this in June, I thought it was really good.

Receipes / Good Pasta Recipe
« on: September 04, 2011, 07:03:23 PM »
1st Post and....

Good Pasta recipe.

Begin by cutting up 1/2 zucchini and half an onion(white onions work best for this).

Slice the zucchini and dice the onion.

Throw them in a frying pan with olive oil, garlic salt, balsamic vinegar, and white wine.
Cook on low for like 30 minutes until veggies are soft and the liquid is mostly gone.

Boil some water for pasta later.

Warm up some spicy tomato basil sauce on another burner.  Cook on simmer or 1 setting above that.
Add the zucchini and onions into the sauce when they're ready. Cook that on 2 or 3 on the grill.

throw about a pound of ground beef (95% lean) in a skillet and add a cajun spices mix (doesnt matter which brand, they all taste good).  Cook until all meat is brown.

Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water.

When pasta is done, drain out all the water, and mix with the sauce in a big pot.  Heat on 3 or 4 until the meat is finished.

Add the meat in with the pasta and mix them up, cover the pot they're all in for 3 minutes.  take them off the burner and serve.

It's freaking awesome.

Public Bugs / Gold From House Placement tools
« on: August 25, 2011, 11:20:43 PM »
This is an old bug but has been confirmed as still working.

Many house placement tools from years ago, were converted to their current state from house deeds.  These tools, and only these old converted tools, will catch the attention of architects at the carpenters shop. 

When you walk past those npcs, text will appear about dropping the deed on the npc. This text appears through walls and if you follow the instructions and drop the deed on the npc, you will get the gold value of that old house deed.

It's a great way to get free money.

Public Bugs / Avoiding Vendor Fees for Very High Cost Items
« on: August 07, 2011, 04:46:44 PM »
For high end items, put the item in a bag. Before fees are charged on the daily cycle, take down the bag. Put item in a new bag, and put it back on the vendor. The penalty fee will be be attached to the container you had the item in, not the item itself.

Public Bugs / Easy 70-120 Stealing on Siege
« on: August 07, 2011, 04:41:13 PM »
This was imported from AC's now defunct section. The bug is pretty publicly known by thieves on siege.

This is a bug exploits how ROT works, so this probably will not work on other shards. (only on siege + mugen)

Everyone knows the normal scripting method to train stealing, it's tiresome and involves stealing from a packie then putting the items back.

I found a much, much easier way.

You will need:
* A pack horse
* A stack of around 1000 gems (or any other less than 1 stone items, it needs to weigh a few hundred stones total, anything over 100 stones seemed to work for me)
* A safe place to sit.

Set up by placing the gems in a single stack on the pack horse, stand next to it, and attempt to steal the stack of gems. Set a macro on a key to "useskill stealing + lasttarget". Clip down key with your favorite chip clip and go do something else.

Now, obviously you'll fail every steal, but it still gives you gains! For some reason it also never partial steals using a large stack of gems, so you never have to move items back. (I believe it's a bug in how the stealing code evaluates items < 1 stone, as those are all this seems to work with)

Public Bugs / The Easy Spellweaving Focus
« on: August 07, 2011, 04:35:54 PM »
Tired of waiting around for skilled focuses on your skilled spellweaver? Just soulstone the skill off, get a focus with a group of random players with 0 spellweaving. Afterwards just soulstone spellweaving back on.  The result? Getting a focus just got much easier.

Public Bugs / Hythloth Walls
« on: August 07, 2011, 04:33:45 PM »
There are multiple walls in hythloth that you can teleport through or impact players through.  The effect is that these walls act to benefit mages and archers in their fights with melee characters.  If someone could provide pictures, that'd be great. otherwise, I'll take my time with it.

Public Bugs / Scam Potential From a Display Bug
« on: July 02, 2011, 06:02:08 PM »
"Take any size commodity deed and donate all but 1 of the commodity to a community collection like the brit library.  The commodity deed will still show the full amount of the resource, pre-donation, until server down.

This will be corrected if you try to redeem the commodity deed.

Donate mass resources to the brit library or vesper museum and then sell the deeds for huge amounts of gold.  Double dipping never felt so good."

Off Topic / UO Stealing, Stories of a UO Thief
« on: April 17, 2011, 10:37:50 AM »
All of the thefts do not involve any scripting, any scamming or any exploits at all. These are the legitimate thefts of a UO Thief.  Great stories.

UO-Related Tutorials / Starting a Script Miner
« on: January 18, 2011, 04:15:33 PM »
This tutorial will teach you how to start a script miner on a shard you have nothing on.  It is intended to bring you from day one of a trial account to long term script mining.

Begin your script miner on a shard you have nothing on.
Your starting skills should be Mining and Tinkering at 50 and 50.

You'll want to use a human if you plan on just mining as a trial account and then starting a new trial account when the first one expires.  Humans can carry more, and thus they will suit your needs best.  You can not receive colored ore or gems on a trial account.

If you want long term viability, you'll want to make an elf.  Elves get more gems, and are arguably more profitable as script miners in the long run.

So how do you begin?  It's rather simple actually.

Begin by visiting the EUO site and downloading MWinc's miner and Heretics walking mumbler
http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=25447#25447

Once you have it downloaded you'll want to follow the instructions provided.  You'll set up rails and basically walk between a forge, your mining spots and the bank.  In a day or two you'll be a gm miner.  By day 3 you should have about 180k iron ingots.

You'll sell the 180k iron ingots in global or in luna.  It rarely takes a while and you can afford to sell them cheap.  Ideally you should get between 1.5 and 2 mill.

With the gold you receive you need to buy 3 things.  a 100% lrc suit, 2/6 jewelry, and a 64 spells mage spell book.  With imbuing out, these things are cheap and easy to find on almost every shard.

How do you proceed now?  
It's time to get a few skills that will be valuable to you.  Train magery, meditation and evaluating intelligence.  
How do we do this?
We script of course.  http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=292368#292368  Select magery and script to gm.  Really, you only need about 80-90 to do what you want reliably.  

Once you have gm magery, you're going back to mining.

You just keep the same script going and bringing in ingots until the day before your trial account status ends.

You need to get a vendor to sell ingots, sell the hundreds of thousands of iron you have for gold, mark runes to your permanent script mining locations, find a spot to place a house and tie up odds and ends.

http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=309701#309701 For your first day out of trial account status, download a permanent script miner, such as the one above.  Get a house placed.  Follow the instructions of your script and mine forever.


Congrats. You've turned a trial account with nothing into a permanent script miner.

Inactive Submissions / Redrum's Silver Bag of Sending Script
« on: January 18, 2011, 09:29:19 AM »
This is submitted on behalf of redrum with his permission.  It's a pretty simple script, but it occasionally suffers a hiccup or two.  It will send silver, at predetermined quantities to the bank with a bag of sending. It will also recharge your bag of sending if you have powder.

It's very easily modified to send and count anything.  I use it for a variety of my farming needs and have like a dozen variations saved.

All credit for this script belongs to redrum and anyone he gave credit to.  All I did was save it on my computer and test it for him.
