Title: Which is faster?
Post by: Grandewd on September 30, 2013, 08:03:01 PM
Ok, this may be another somewhat silly question - but since I'm probably getting famous for them by now - I figure I've got nothing to lose..   ;D

So here goes:

Which one of these is the fastest? (Of course each does exactly the same things).

A macro created with the Options tab on the UO PD.
A macro created with UOAssist.
A macro created with EUO or oEUO.
A macro created with the EC.

Flame away....

Now - Of course I'm not talking about the complexity of scripts available to EUO or oEUO users, I'm talking about the basics (switching weapons, drinking pots, things like that).
I'm getting tired of playing on a different playing field than a couple of the people that have PK'd me recently.  I'd like to at least be as fast, not that it's going to help me that much...

I use a mix of in game UO client (UOC) default macros and AssistUO macros for consumables/custom macros.

From what I understand, EC has some pretty awesome gear swapping capabilities. You can instantly swap weapon sets, talismans as well as instantly dress which is not currently possible with UOC, however I have a hunch that with client modifications or perhaps with a client loader such as AUO, such a thing could become possible as obviously the server-side rule set is already implemented in order to adhere to the EC capabilities.

Actually DX, I think OEUO allows you to utilize the EC's Dress macro in the classic Client. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember hearing.

Definitely Going to have to be UO macro or Enhanced Client Macro. The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line, the  more programs you add in between you and the Client, the slower the macro will be.

Interesting.. I have yet to look at OEUO as I have no love for LUA. But I might have to look into it for that alone. I shot the idea over the the AUO people not too long ago though, I'm hoping that they can come up with something for their client :>

Now, when you say "instantly dress" - do you mean that in the sense of the instant dress that a UO mannequin can do?  Because if that IS the case, then the EC has power that EA has never admitted....

Now I'm going to HAVE to look for that script and see how it works...
***Edit*** I went to the OpenEUO Script board and couldn't find anything referring to the EC... Do you remember where you heard that?

Well, that's exactly what I was thinking - but wanted to rule out any other "advantages" that EUO or oEUO might have that I might not be thinking of....

Woops

Woops?  Are you suggesting that you wish you hadn't mentioned it and that you are hesitant to answer my questioin?

Or did you go out to collect some loot off Swoops and just misspelled it?

And does PM work here?
Woops...

*** Edit ***  NM

So, are we not able to continue this conversation here?  I mean, this IS ScriptUO - is it not?
We are not subject to the same code of (misbegotten ethics) that is still in place over at EUO - thinking somehow that something we say here could in some way cause some sort of backlash?
I mean, look at the number of posts over there and the number over here.... I was under the impression that we could discuss most anything here?  After all, do we not have a script section named Gold Farming?
It's 2013 and we're barely alive... Lets have some damn fun people !

Just sayin........ ;)

I regretted mentioning it! There are some things in the gaming world that are dangerous in the hands of the masses. Giving a dexxer the Ability to "Equip Last" To any weapon might not seem like much when compared to other things, but in the hands of someone Competent on a dexxer. *Cough*. But I guess since its possible in the EC, oh well.

Hell, I'm absolute crap as a dexxer, but give me that ability on my dexxer and omfg... Might as well rename him to Game Over

Nothing to Pm, its just the Oeuo Macro

UO.Equip(id1,id2,id3,id4,etc)

Oh thx... I found it in the UOWiki...

Do you know of a script already posted either here or oEUO that has an example of UO.Equip I can study for proper usage, etc...???

Remember, all my scripting has been done in EUO... I'm just starting to struggle thru the basics of Lua and oEUO....  I've used snicker's s7equipreplace for years, but of course it moves one item at a time...

my Lua is extremely Rusty, but I'm sure you could set the id's for your suits and then swap between them. Obviously tables would be best, but my table skills are a little crappy

suit1 = { id1 , id2 , id3 , id4 , id5 }
suit2 = { id1 , id2 , id3 , id4 , id5 , id6 , id7 }

then you would just need a loop, combined with a method for checking how many items are in the Table(Can't remember how to do that off hand, maybe TM or someone can explain that one better), and some Hotkeys.... Hmm does OEUO even support Hot keys?
