I was working on a mining script before I left, not sure if you guys already have something similar or if there's any interest in it.

What it does is scan tiles and figures out where the mountain wall is, pathfinds to it, mines, and moves to the next 8x8 block. It will follow the edge of the mountain regardless of shape, completely automagically. All you need to do is have a rune marked next to a mountain, it'll recall there, mine until full, recall back and dump ingots. I think it's even got smelt on beetle support. But it's far from finished, a lot of hardcoded stuff that I used for testing and so on.

Is this something the community here would be interested in? Has it been done already? Mainly talking to the resident scripters since you need to be able to read and understand the script to make use of it in it's current shape.

Old EUO:
SET %timeout #SCNT2 + 2500
...
IF #SCNT2 > %timeout
  do stuff

How do we achieve the same functionality as simply as possible in OEUO? Least amount of code lines wins!

timeout = getticks() + 2500
...
if getticks() > timeout do
  stuff
... BRAINFART, sorry >.<

What's the best ways you've come up with so far for opening and closing a container/gump in OEUO?

Is there a guaranteed way to open a container from an item id (chest/corpse/whatever) and waiting until it's open? Is that handled the same way as in EUO?
And is there a guaranteed way to close a specific gump by ID as well?

Guaranteed being the key word here. How robust is the client interface in OEUO? What level of error checking can we add? As an example there was no way to guarantee a gump was closed in EUO, you could right click it, but if the user moved the mouse simultaneously, and/or the container lost focus due to, say rain, the script would think the gump was closed, when in fact it isn't. What's OEUO like in this regard?


Discussion, LUA snippets, ideas? (I haven't started yet, this is me doing some early research )

Just looking for someone on Pacific to do regular hunts with. Anyone got a guild going, SA bosses, Peerless?

So I thought this would be a good thing to bring the exceptional brains of this site together to work on a simple straight forward problem.
Ignoring something for 3 minutes, and then un-ignoring it.

Here's the background. UO Instanced Corpses take 3 minutes to reset to "public: where everything becomes accessible to anyone. In my looting script I can detect an instanced corpse. I'd like to loot your personal instance if possible, then ignore that corpse for 3 minutes until it goes public, and then loot it again.

Here's the sub I currently use, it's about as reliable as <insert something really unreliable here>
; IgnoreList====================
; %1 Item to ignore for 3 minutes
;===============================
SUB IgnoreList
{
  SET %oldlpc #LPC
  SET #LPC 10000
  NAMESPACE PUSH
  NAMESPACE LOCAL IgnoreList
  IF !ignore_cnt = N/A
    SET !ignore_cnt 0
  SET !item #FALSE
  IF %0 > 0
    SET !item %1
  FOR !i 1 !ignore_cnt
  {
    IF #SCNT > !time . !i && !ignore_cnt > 0
    {
      IGNOREITEM RESET !i
      IGNOREITEM RESET !ignore_cnt
      SET !time . !i !time . !ignore_cnt
      SET !item . !i !item . !ignore_cnt
      IGNOREITEM !item . !i !i
      SET !ignore_cnt !ignore_cnt - 1
    }
  }
  IF !item <> #FALSE
  {
    SET !ignore_cnt !ignore_cnt + 1
    SET !item . !ignore_cnt !item
    SET !time . !ignore_cnt #SCNT + 181
    IGNOREITEM !item !ignore_cnt
  }
  NAMESPACE POP
  SET #LPC %oldlpc
  RETURN
}The idea is to use two lists, or 1D arrays with corpse ID and the time it should be un-ignored. And then go through the list every time and check if the timer has expired, un ignoring it and rearranging the lists. It works like linked lists if you're C fluent...

However it doesn't always work. it ignores stuf just fine, but then it get's stuck in ignored limbo and never get's re-looted. Any ideas? Better way of doing this? Improved version of this?

TM's Claw doesn't do this at all, so if we come up with a good solution it could benefit both scripts. Assuming TM wants to add it. I think it's worth it since there's a lot of group hunting in UO now, Doom, Peerless and SA bosses. And a lot of people don't loot everything. I always find plenty of left over ingredients on bosses for example, when hunting with people who are only there for arties or loot.

Hi, I'm Bad Maniac. The creator of BadManiac's automagic looter, item evaluator, and other automagic things.
Thought it was about time I finally joined the last free bastion of UO scripters.

What actually prompted me to join was a post by Cerveza that I'm going to contribute to, not just some puny suggestions either, the entire solution all wrapped up into the most beautiful sub(s) I've ever written, at least in my humble opinion. I'm actually surprised it doesn't get used more often by elite scripters. I'm talking about my Automagic Pathfinder script. It can do exactly what Cerveza wanted, namely follow something at a fixed distance, among many other things. I will be posting that shortly. With a full example on how to use it for Cerveza purpose.
As usual with all my scripts and subs (of which there are a large amount that just never got posted because of EasUO rules) all it takes to use them in a public script is a please, thank you, and a brief mention in the script description. Credit where credit's due and all that.

There's also a new version of my (in?)famous looter in the works with full SA support. And unlike the claw you don't need a masters degree in IQ to use it That will also be posted here (and of course on EUO.com, the original home. But SUO'ers might get it early just to show my goodwill to this, for me, new community.

I'm hoping I can contribute to the community with subs, and share my many year scripting experience. See you all out there.

Is that karma enough for ya?
