Title: G'day to all
Post by: Acolyte on November 27, 2009, 10:17:51 PM

Hi there folks,
Been around quite a few places (including EasyUO) and seeing projects such as Ultima# and JUltima, this one seems to be most promising, detailed and up to the task.
Haven't looked around yet, but if it's not hard, can give me a few hints related to ScriptUO?
The scripting is done with EasyUO legacy scripting or is it different? I was actually hoping that scripting is done by using C# running C#-based scripts (see UltimaSharp (http://oromit.de/uosharp/viewforum.php?f=11) or Ultima# project) (as it seems, you do support euo, suo, and .NET languages, that is excellent!)
If so, have you thought about converting cryptic EUO scripts into C#?

I have developed a similar tool myself, for upcoming MMO called Armada Online, incidentally calling it AOAssist. It can be found on forums of Armada HQ (http://www.armadahq.com). It wasn't met with much empathy, but hey, that game isn't 10+ years old like Ultima Online, they have a long way ahead of them to realize the need for such tools.

Great site, great effort and more importantly, great software here!

Aco

Welcome to the site.

I guess the best draw to using EasyUO is that it caters to even the most basic programmer.  There's no real programming knowledge required.  As much as I appreciate people doing scripting in the more modern and feature-filled languages such as C#, I see that EUO fills the most basic requirements for game scripting.  Simplicity.  

Once you read the ScriptUO faqs, you'll see we don't actually support code execution.  ScriptUO is more of a dedicated development environment for EasyUO.  Anyone who's developed sizeable scripts in EUO will understand how basic the UI is.  ScriptUO offers many nice features to help navigate and debug large EUO scripts.

If you are looking for dedicated C# script development, you might check out Xenoglyphs project UOMachine.  Talk of it has been squelched on EasyUO, but we freely talk about it here.

Thanks all, I've actually found UOMachine and am compiling it right now to have a closer look.

Once Xenoglyph gets some methods of debugging and reflection going in his editor, my days with EUO will be numbered.  ;)
