Hi all.
Here I go again.
Barring any large bugs, changes, replacement or inclusions, this IS the last update of this particular script that will be posted publicly. If all goes well, My World Traveler script will hereafter be only available via private access for reasons to be revealed at the release of the full Version 1.0 and any thereafter.
In this Beta 0.9 release, there are no character rails or actions, other than selecting items in your backpack, home secure and/or bank box and possibly moving towards one of the many bankers/minters. I'm generally looking for feedback regarding this script's functionality and ease of use and understanding.
My UCI program is not used in this script (yet) however, the Kalocr.txt (http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26125#26125) script is required. Loads of information and details about this script is in the header, PLEASE take the time to read it before running and asking silly questions :) . I am making an attempt for this to be SUO compatible, and most likely, only SUO workable (for reasons yet to be revealed). The script is so far just over 2000 lines.
As mentioned, this script will not move your character via rail, but will recall to bank/your home ( given you select the option) and look for a banker/minter if selected. The Pause and Quit buttons are not functional (sub taken out atm), loop, Go to islands, and use a boat are in a way non function, but please do use them, and use all the options both in the script itself, and menu choices.
Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, encouraged along with your basic criticism :) .

; subsequent 'remarking'. This will be used as a 'return to location' in the event of a restock of resources is needed.
; Select your choices in the menu and press "Start".
; ==== What this script Does and Does Not do ====
; This script Does support using a dead character. It Will rez your character if requested and resume the setup if necessary.

; MakeMSL's : Have a runebook with 9 runes in it. These will be remarked. No magery required. Runebook will be renamed.
; Having this checked will create the runes enabling your character to go to the Secret Locations.
; Return Rune : Use a rune to return to the current location after restocking any resources from your home/bank
; Go To Islands : If you have some runes to islands otherwise unreachable by walking/riding means, have these in a runebook
; no matter the name or order. The script will travel to them one by one from first to last. Multiple
; runebooks are supported.

In the menu, the white block on the botton right is a picture I did not include with the script. That'll be added in later.
Thank you.
-
Very cool, hopefully it will come along I will be glad to do some testing for ya, just gotta get myself playing again. I just started a new job and the first day on I got to pull a 20 hour shift in preparation for a last minute demo lol. That sucked.
-
Yikes Xclio, I'm about to start a new job as well on the 22nd, hope mine isn't 20 hrs :P
-
Fortunatly it isn't the norm, the team I joined just happened to be troubleshooting the living crap out of a very very very unstable system (I am in Research and Development and we just started testing a new system out) that our sponsor wanted to see a demonstration of the very next day. Needless to say my first day was a pretty major trial by fire, fortunatly I am 99% sure that I passed with flying colors as I was able tog et the system stable enough for fairly sucessful demo and our sponsor was impressed by the systems capabilities :)
-
Update 1-20-09
Thank you to the 3 people who checked out my previous version, one of which was me.
-
wow, this is running nice.
does this just check near moongates?
or populated area's?
-
Currently only moongates, as they are on my radar for the first method of travel, and most basic. In time it will go to every worthwhile place in the game. Thank you very much for checking it out Khameleon. This, in a way, is my first 'real' script. I've got other things but only silly scripts to replace repetitive tasks.
-
Khameleon is the script torturer extraordinaire!! But he's just about the best there is.
-
That's great to know, because there is an issue (if ya'll can figure it out) with selecting certain skills and using the Always Run option. Be sure to use and select them the way they are NOT meant to be used :P
-
I'll have to pull some of those skills off stones to test them.
it ran all the way threw with no problems. a few times it got stuck on a corner of a house plot, but it worked itself out.
i'm impressed on the walking routine, it wasn't jumpy like other movement scripts.

Downloaded Script and loved how smoothly the character walks. Not sure what the exact purpose of this Script is, but if it is to check for IDOCs then how are the IDOCs going to be identified? Will it make a rune in one of the blank runebooks? Will it notify you of the status of the IDOC? Does this run in Trammel, Felucca, Malas, and Tokuno? How is it going to use a Boat? Do you need to have one in your pack or have a Ship Key in the pack insured? Will the Script identify the House as Public or Private? --- My new passion for the game is to search for IDOCs. When you find one and then actually see the IDOC fall it is like opening a package at Christmas Time, never knowing what you are going to get!!!
Sorry for all the questions? I am a bit confused as to what this Script actually is going to do when it is completed and I read thru all the threads, posts, and even the header...
ORACLE
Outstanding questions Oracle, thanks for looking. Not sure what you mean by how smoothly the character walks, as there are no rails, ..unless the script moved towards a banker/minter. It that's the case, yw :) .
On to your questions.
"how are the IDOCs going to be identified?" : This part will mostly be taken care of by TM's Idoc finder/locator. I've found that his script works beautifully.
"Will it make a rune in one of the blank runebooks?" : TM's Idoc finder/locater finds them, marks a rune to them and logs them in a text file.
"Will it notify you of the status of the IDOC?" : Tm's script has a menu which does notify you of the status.
"Does this run in Trammel, Felucca, Malas, and Tokuno?" : This question is THE one that drove me to make this script. Almost all Idoc scripts require YOU to do the moving. My script does it for you (and a whole hell of alot more!). It takes you to all the possible housing locations on any and all facets. In the User Config inside the script is an area where facets can be commented in/out if so chosen. Don't want to go to Fel? then simply comment it out.
"How is it going to use a Boat? Do you need to have one in your pack or have a Ship Key in the pack insured?" : The boat sub has yet to really be written. My script atm simply checks if the option is selected. Ultimately, there will be specific places in the world of Brit where the script will automatically place and launch a boat. It also will depend on where in the script the character is. You must have a boat in your pack, and the key WILL be insured once placed.
"Will the Script identify the House as Public or Private?" : Both TM's idoc script and mine will take notes on which are public and private (not that I think it matters). My script also knows what is a house and what is not. As house signs are also in towns and on other structures throughout the world, there are points that can be used to distinguish between what is a real player owned home, and what is not. I'm not sure if TM's script does this (I'm sure it may) but I definately made the effort to accomplish it.

Looks good it took me a while to figure out what i was doing and what i needed to do but i am gonna test it some more once i get the time.
-
Thanks Masscre, I appreciate it. I have a beta with me that I'm almost ready to release where this script will finally do all the things in the menu (minus boating) and go on a few rails. Only two of the skill scripts will be active for the private beta, hiding/hiding&stealth and peacemaking. Other than that, it's nearly 100% complete. So you'll be able to select your travel method, use a skill while 'railing', restock resources if need be, do the MSL stuff and more (special surprises) in the upcoming releases.
-
If this goes to Private Beta I would like to be included, as I have been testing and trying this Script and cant wait until all of the items are fully implememted!
Going to IDOCs is like getting presents for Christmas!
-
hehe, as I type, my character is on a rail walking and using skills, and monitoring Idoc's..there's nothing quite like multi-tasking. There are a few things I'm gonna add before releasing the private beta Version 0.91 FYI, there will only be one rail included with that release. I've noticed you've been very helpful all over this site Oracle, I'll definitely consider including you.

I'd like to keep this topic open, with only 2 downloads, I thinks it's still a great script that people may like to help out with.
-
You might want to see if there's some other people you'd like to add to the beta pool.
-
so i have been trying to work this script out and it seem to get stuck on the script status: finding Character. I was trying to see if i was doing something wrong in terms of the setup but i did it over and over and still nothing. also i tried to use a chivalry character and it went straight to the ran one complete cycle return home blah blah blah. i used it when it first came out with no problem then i took a break from uo lost all of my passwords and such so this is new account. anyways though thats all i have for now and i will continue to test things out. hope everyone is doing well and hope to hear back.
-
Thanks for having a look at this kenshin87. Obviously this is an old script and I'm not currently supporting this version. There is however a private beta testing group for this script. Some of the new features in the current beta include rails that cover Tokuno, Malas, Ter Mur and half of the main Britannia world. There's several skill to train while searching for idocs, character defense abilitys, Malas secret location searching and rune creation,..loads more. To become a beta tester simply PM me!
-
does this script use an A* tile-based-pathfind to wander around houses?
-
Not positive what A* is, an algorithm or certain other code? Either way, no. This specific version only has a few Move commands. It'll move your character towards a banker/minter NPC. My private beta however takes your character around most of the world based on a rail. At times, pathfind is used to navigate around known geographic obstacels, and a few known shard specific obstacles. The rails are created using TrailMyx's Rail Designer, and are run with the accompanying Rail Engine. 95% of it is by move, and the whole world is 98% completed and running well.
-
A* Pathfind is an algorithm to "pre-calculate" a path through a "map", where some tiles are walkable and some not.

You say that 98% of the world is walkable with your rails, but how can those rails handles different houses placement?
I've to admit I've not tried your script, but as I'm researching on those pathfind algorithms I thought that a A* pathfind sub could help ya alot.
I'll link some easyuo threads on the subject:
http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6095
http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8662
http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31242
EDIT:
It's still unclear to me how I could get informations about houses placement.
We know that it's kinda easy get from maps which tiles are walkable and which are not, but houses are not "statics", so I'd need some kind of map, like the UOAM's. Still not sure if this is doable anyway
-
A short while before I started writing this script, I did indeed check out EasyUo and all the movement based talk I could find. At the time, I knew next to nothing about easyuo script writing, so unfortunately, most of their conversations were all greek to me.
I'll re-phrase it, 98% of all the rails are created and in working order. I have 2 more to implement for the Elite Special Edition.
How I've created this to work across all shards took alot of time and UO map studying. To describe it would would take a bit of time, but it does work. The rails themselves do their job which is to roam the common geographic landscapes. My script also has a special beta function called Home Roam which is 100% pathfinding. This function is used in areas that I describe as 'house clusters'. These area's are the ones where rail creation wouldn't be logical for the exact reason you state, "but how can those rails handles different houses placement?"
I'm really glad you've posted those links, a few I had visited in the time I mentioned above, so I'll definitely be checking them out. You're more than welcome to have a look at the private beta code (just PM me requesting to become a beta tester), but there are certain rules that beta testers must adhere to for a few obvious reasons.
Thanks for some great intelligent talk about this and the links. :) .
-
thank you for the offer...I'll probably take a look at your code, cause I'm kinda interested in those "pathfind" sub.
Right now I'm trying to get a working A* pathfind sub written in lua (yeah, the infamous OpenEUO language...tbh i LOVE lua, it's just simple and straightforward...), but I'll work on some C# code too in the future.
It's just I don't like very much the "movement" subs existing now.
Pathfind alone, would work fine I guess, but it's spammy (and you cannot move more than about 20 tiles), while the Move command isn't so reliable, so for now, while i'm studing those pathfind algorithms, I'm just using a mixed "Move+Pathfind" sub.
It's kinda working for short movements (like those we're using in most rails), but sometimes you just need to say "Move(thereX, thereY)", even if the "spot" is kinda distant...so an A*pathfind would fit well there (without abusing it, cause the calculation "slow" most of the time...even more, when the distance is greater...)
Anyway, you gave me the answer I was looking for about clustered houses zones ;)
-
Honestly, The pathfinding is done with BadManiac's AutoMagic Pathfinding Sub found here (http://www.easyuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=189786#189786). It does have some issues with it which I address in my script. Checks for goal XY met, house obstacles, impassable tiles, distance over time calculations based on character running or not, and a few other error checks and relocation subs.
I chose to use BM's because it allowed me to pathfind to an infinite distance, as opposed to those that only do 20 or so. Indeed it is a bit spammy, but for my scripts implementation of it, it's not to bad and allows for other script actions and user interaction (pause and quit buttons).
Glad I could help with your query. Should you decide to check out the private beta script, you'll also have the opportunity to download and view separately the Home Roam sub. It has alot of information with it.
