Hey all, this is Macrophage's introduction. First I want to point out that English is not my natural language, I hope that won't upset you.
I am a 32 years photograph going fast towards his 33 (in July). I live in couple and UO along with DAOC been the only MMOs I extensively played. In both I was a early player: my oldest UO account was started in Dec 97 while my DAOC account was started the first day of release. I stopped DAOC due to the lack of players on the PvP server. I have been having a lot of troubles with UO since publish 16. I hated that release, having 15 of my characters turned to uselessness. I refused to "adapt" since I had spent so much time on training those characters and I don't pay a video game for anything else than leisure. Then, AoS went out and it finished to kill me. Not only were my characters outdated skill wise but also they were completely gimp by their equipment. The data stream at that point was not compatible with my usb modem and I was disconnecting every 10 minutes, usually resulting in a net loss of insurance. I ran very quickly through millions. So I stopped UO while still holding my accounts hoping they d be one day a revert. It never happened, and UO lost 90% of its player base. On the other hand, DAOC grew and got more and better content. It was a good substitute. Not to mention the eye candy graphics. I am not quite sure why it died, the introduction of unbalanced classes and postponation of the fixing of various hackings don't seem to be enough of a reason. Anyway, in 2007, DAOC pvp started dieing and I gave another go to UO after being playing every so and then. I was lucky to have old friends who had got established at that time and helped me to deck out a character. I was back into the game.
Quickly I realized most things were not achievable, due to a horrible design, without using 3rd parties. (the amount of ressources needed nowadays, the difficulties into looting corpses etc...). So I became a EUO fan, and I have a few scripts posted there under the same nickname. (Fishbot, Spellbook swapper, Talisman ID and some OEU as well). I also wrote a lot of raw helper scripts which I didn't make public because they didn't reach the EUO standards (no automated setup, full afk, etc...).
I hope I can provide helpful contributions to that website, despise the fact that I turned the page of EUO and I m 100% OEUO now.
Take care.

Well so far I have mainly done upper level functions (aka finditem etc. actually quite a short library now), and made simple scripts using them; not sure it s of any interest for you, since I have not even looked at the menu thing yet and many people have posted their own libraries so far.

There is nothing wrong with duplicate libraries. All can be posted here for learning pruposes if nothing else. Also different people build things and do things differently.
