Scripting Chat / Re: New to scripting
« on: December 13, 2012, 08:05:44 AM »
Thank you for all of the links and information.  I do know a good amount of C++.  I almost know Java, Javascript, Perl, VB, and some HTML and database languages like SQL and PL/SQL.  I was taught C++ first and most of everything became much easier after that because it was somewhat similar... except for Perl.  I will definitely look over all of the links when I get home from work today.  Also thank you for the information on GUI's for the scripts.

Hopefully within a couple weeks I will have a few scripts to test out that I've written.

Scripting Chat / New to scripting

I was wondering if anyone had any good documentation on writing out new scripts.  I have a programming/coding background, but I have never seen this syntax before... I think it might be LUA?  I did some looking around, but I have a feeling I didn't look hard enough.  I would love some links that could help me get started.  I want to create so many scripts with great UI's.  I think the UI is one of the most important features of coding because if it is too confusing to use... then people will generally look elsewhere for something similar.

New member introductions / Missed this game so much...

Hello everyone that reads this.  I go by Jasper in almost every game I have played.  I am coming back to Ultima Online for about the fifth time since 1997.  I played back then on the Atlantic shard as different forms of Jasper (Jasper, JasperX, Jasper II, etc..) and I still play there today.  UO was my first MMO I have ever played and have been chasing that feeling that I had running through the woods in my full set of ranger armor getting chased by some PK's.  They got me, but I didn't care.  It was the first time in a video game that I actually felt fear.  My heart never raced so much before from a game and it still hasn't.  Even when I went to Everquest and raided in a top 5 worldwide guild.  I still didn't have that feeling.  So I decided to come back to Ultima, even though the graphics aren't near what other games off... other games don't offer the feeling and experience that UO offers.  I care more about content of the book than what the cover looks like. 

More of a personal section... I just recently acquired my bachelor degree in computer science.  I am a programmer at heart and LOVE to code.  It is like an art form for me.  There are multiple ways to paint a tree, and they all can be a tree at the end.  However each painting will be completely different, much like coding something.  I don't have a job in my field yet, but have been going to interviews pretty much nonstop for about 2 months now since I finished my degree. 

If I get accepted to the community, I plan on further enjoying Ultima as well contributing to the massive library on the site. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my brief introduction,

Jasper
