i can't imagine a nearly 20 year old game being that expensive to operate. At the same time, I can't imagine EA sinking too many resources into the game either. UO is probably going to be around for awhile longer, but I don't think it will get any substantial content any time soon

Step 1: Menu

A crafting script should really have a menu in my opinion. While you can just use the pause and the play button on easyuo itself, a menu makes it so much easier and quicker. I am not going to go into much detail for a menu at this moment but will link this great write up from the EUO website. There are 2 tutorials, once you understand the first then you can go onto the second which uses a menu designer program. These really helped me in figuring out how to make a menu.

Tutorial 1: http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1672&sid=2182fb338c924e519bdea1dd9309f242

Once you have an understanding, go to this next one and try this

Tutorial 2: http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8422

I also like to take scripts that have menus and play around with them to make adjustments and get a better understanding.

C2 and Guadah have written a lot of scripts with menu's and are a great source for understanding.

IMPORTANT!! I am in no means saying to use their menu's, just to look and see how they did things to help you craft your own!!

I found that menu's were actually fun once you got the hang of it and LordSid's menu designer is a great aid in setting it up. You can find it and how to use it on Tutorial 2 link.

IMO, the menu should be the last thing to worry about. Make a clear outline of what stats you want to keep track of and make sure you keep up with the variables. Menus look confusing, but they are very easy to integrate into a script.

When it comes to a craft script there are a few things you should know. You need the sub that controls the menus, waste disposal (like smelting with smithing, axe with carpentry, trash can, etc), resource management, skill tracking so the script knows when to advance to a higher lvl item, weight checks, tool tracker, and lots of other small details.

I posted a carpentry script awhile back ( http://www.scriptuo.com/index.php?topic=11230.msg96742#msg96742 ) you can check it out if you need to.

I like to keep my subs modular; basically all my craft scripts use the same code, there are just minor things that i have to edit or add.
