Just wanted to say thanks for a FANTASTIC script!

This thing rocks!  I have had a couple of small issues... it sometimes will stop chopping trees while spamming that my axe has to be equipped to do that.  I'm fairly certain this is where my axe degrades at just the wrong time and gets stuck where it won't fully loop and re-equip an axe so it just continues to give the command to chop and never gets resolved.  I simply grab an axe, throw it on my paperdolll, and the instant I dbl-click it... the script takes off again.

I'll be looking at editing that myself (I'm actually looking forward to the practice), and it only happens rarely... I would say once every three or four hours (that is an average).  It has happened withing thirty minutes of starting the script and two nights it hasn't happened at all.

I had one unexplained death, but since it hasn't repeated... I'm sure I agro'd something (maybe even a PKer) while stuck in the above mentioned glitch.  Other than that, flawless!  I have several hundred thousand wood and am building up a really nice stockpile of the rarer types.  Thanks again!

(ABCUO shard...in case anyone wanted to compare with some of the funky rules they have there)

Yeh, that's the way arm/disarm work.  On your shard, you might just be able to drop the pole on your #CHARID, but on Alexandria (RunUO), you can't do that.  So you might need to 'seed' the script at first by arming the fishing pole (by hand), and then disarming it with the macro.

I already tried to 'seed' the script by equipping the pole and then using the macro to disarm.  Script still did the same loop, although I didn't try a different item to seed it such as a spellbook or weapon. I could be wrong, but I don't see other items behaving anything differently which is why I just edited that out of the script.

There's no way to detect what's carried without alot of code, but perhaps you can work with that code and a little prep work before you start your scripting session.

EDIT: I misunderstood your meaning!  That is exactly what I've done.  Edited the code and as long as I don't have anything equipped when I start the script, I'm golden!

I think I'll start small like editing code to do an extra function of some type, test, try again, test, and eventually learn how to add, modify, and create larger, more complex things.  I'm NOT a programmer of any sort and while I've always tinkered a bit with scripts and mods and such, I have no idea how to do any of it efficiently or often, correctly.  My thought: start small, learn fast, and have less chance of giving up from getting overwhelmed. Any suggestions on scripting, programming and the like... feel free to pm me so we don't take over this (fantastic) thread.

Gets stuck in a loop saying:

Code: [Select]
You must first disarm a weapon before you can arm one.
You must wait to perform another action.
You must wait to perform another action.
The fishing pole must be equipped first.

For my purposes, I'm going to see if I can just edit out the arm/disarming code.

If that works, I'll try to figure out a way to detect if anything is equipped, THEN run the arm/disarm, ELSE go to equipping the pole.

Hope that makes sense and don't let my weak attempts at butchering your code prevent you from putting up an actual solution! heh!

EDIT: Ok, I removed the arm, disarm code and it appears to have worked.  I'll watch it for a few to be sure, but it did equip the pole and start fishing.

I'm going to make an attempt to detect if the character has a weapon in either hand, THEN have that hand unequip, then or else have it equip the pole.  Should work.  Maybe.  Gotta figure out how to detect what might be carried.  :P

When you cast spells on your shard, does your spellbook automatically equip?  If so then part of equipping your fishing pole will be to de-equip the spellbook (or anything else for that matter)

Nope. Spellbooks never get equipped unless using them for mods like slayer.  No automation.

Just got back and will be adding that code in now.  I'll report back in just a few and let you know how it goes.  Thanks!

Just wanted to say that this still trains cooking quite well!

I figured that since it was so dated, it probably wouldn't work... but it does.

The only issue I had was that the instructions say that the pans need to be in the bag of resources, however it only worked if they were in my backpack.

This is on ABCUO, a freeshard in case that changes things for those interested.

Actually you can probably ask other players. What we mean by era is what expansion is your shard set in.

Hmmm. Well, on the homepage and in the 'Intro' section is the following:

"Up To Date - Rather than wait for someone to write updates and share them publicly, we program things ourselves to include the latest expansion content."

My understanding is that they have made quite a few changes and the fishing needing the pole might be one of them...

"Stability - ABCUO is now in its ninth year with a solid playerbase. This is a modern shard with the latest expansion content as well as refined custom content. We value high server uptime and bug-free code."

Not sure why they might have made that change as they are an unattended macro friendly server (one of the two main reasons I chose them).

Lemme look in my other fishing script; I might have a little sub that will equip the pole.  Makes a bit of a sense to check to see if you've dropped the pole from time to time.

I would greatly appreciate it!  Does it have many of the code explanations bracketed in?  I'm hoping it does as I'm not just trying to get good scripts, I'm trying to learn as I go.

Thanks so much for the help, guys... wish I had found you guys BEFORE I found ABCUO... I'd follow the love.  :P

My save issue is solved.  :shame:

I actually thought I checked that and then tried it, but evidently I didn't.  Embarrrrrrrassssssing!

Yes, I have to equip the fishing pole.  A dbl-click informs me that I have to equip it first.

Is that enough info or do I still need to find out ABCUO's era?  If so, is there a command or something that I can use to tell me?

Thanks!

First of all, I'm running windows 7.  I'm trying to find the 'era' that ABCUO runs on, but not having much luck so far (not surprising as I have no idea what an 'era' is... I quit playing around 14ish years ago).  I'm assuming that is based on what expansions it runs or...?  After several google searches and forum searches, I found zip.  Not sure if that is because I don't know what I'm looking for or something else.

As far as the newer eras not needing to equip the pole, that might explain why I was unable to find the exact place where it equipped the pole rather than just needing to identify it in your code.  :-[

Many thanks for the script, as well as the site!

This was the script that led me to this site and I was hoping that would help me learn the basics of scripting so I could modift scripts and eventually learn to make my own.

I have failed.

I have scoured the script (and this thread) in an attempt to fix my issues, but haven't fixed a thing.

I can follow most of what the script is doing.  I don't understand it all, but thanks to his comments and just general referencing, I follow it fairly well.

My two problems:

1 I just can't get the setup file to save or load.  I've tried everything I could think of.  I changed the paths several times... to no avail.  This is a minor irritation, but something I can happily live with.

2 The program will not equip the fishing pole.  Not after a bank run, or after fighting.  No matter how the pole comes off, I have to put it back manually. This is my biggest issue and I searched and searched and read and read and stayed up crazy late... and I'm right back where I started.  I used TrailMyx's Info tool and made sure I had the right ID.  I start the script with and without the pole equipped.  Any and everything I could think of.  I'm stumped.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I am playing on abcuo (freeshard) and I wonder if there isn't a problem that I don't see because of that... ?

Even though I have to babysit it in it's current incarnation, this script is still amazing.  Works flawlessly other than the above and saves me TONS of time!

I found a slightly older version.  Appears to work, both with the ABCUO server and EasyUO as well.

I am having a few issues getting a couple of the scripts to work right, but I suspect that isn't as much of a client problem as it is a user error problem!  ;)

Anyways... I'm glad to be here and hope to learn a lot as I learn to modify and write scripts.

Definitely running as administrator.

I'll double-check, but as far as I know I haven't updated since I started playing (approx 9 days).  I'll see if I can find the previous client version, if that is the case.

Anyways... thanks so much for the tips.  I'll get it figured out eventually, I'm sure.  ;)

EDIT:  Well... EasyUO runs on UO 2D Client 7.0.31.0 or lower.

Thinking a fast google search would solve my problems... I've realized that I'm S.O.L.

I'm sure it is illegal to post the 7.0.31.0 client, but if anyone knows where I can get my hands on one... I'd appreciate a PM.

Hmmmm.

Thanks for the welcome... I really appreciate it!

I'm stumped.  I can't get OpenEUO or EUO 1.5 (Version 241 by the prog, but Version 242 by the download site) to recognize my client!  Neither are reading any in-game info, and neither will run any scripts.

I am on Windows 7.  I have client 7.0.32.3.  I play on ABCUO.  Both AssistUO and Razor work fine.

I have spent an hour or two trying to find the problem, and a possible solution to no avail.  I've searched several forums, read and watched numerous tutorials, changed the location to the client.exe folder, etc...

Am I missing the trees because the forest is in my way or ... ?

Thank you, thank you.

It will take me a few DAYS just to sort through all the scripts here and decide which ones I'm interested in.  :-\

Fantastic site, I have to admit.

Thanks Crome969,

So far... I'm really enjoying the game.  Really steep learning curve though.

Just curious, but how difficult is the scripting language to learn?  Not master, mind you... simply learn so that I can script basic things on my own?

I've invested a ton into abcuo already... I hope it was the right choice for me. After a bit of work, I'm starting to pick of the very basics... soon, I'm hoping to start gathering a decent set of equipment.

Good times and thanks for the welcome. ;)

Hello all!

History:
I played UO a LONG, LONG time ago.  LONG.  I remember the times when you had to be VERY careful with your skills as there weren't any up/down/lock buttons.  I remember when they added things like anatomy, eval int, and the like.  I remember when they started punishing PKers (like me) by giving them absurd skill and stat penalties by dying.  I remember having a certain ghost or two standing around doing nothing beyond logging in game time so as to avoid penalties and get my skill count down.  I remember hating the changes.

When the major changes and then that first (I think it was the first anyways) expansion came out, I chose to stop playing.

That was... ummmm... probably fifteen years ago?  Longer?  Yikes!

To anyone that might remember me (doubtful), I was a pretty big deal on my shard and during my time.  I was Raistlin (so original, I know) on Baja shard.  I was red, I killed players for massive profit, and was the only player that owned a castle that wasn't part of a guild.

I had other good toons, but Raistlin was easily my favorite.  Massive profit nearly every night, massive fun nearly every night, and a reputation that would cause fully geared adventuring parties to instantly run and recall at the sight of my name.  Mmmmmm.  Nostalgia.

I enjoyed a thief as well... back then it was fairly easy to steal house deeds and/or keys.  Horrible?  Yes.  Fun?  Yes.  Much of the time, after things calmed down... I would return the deed as I didn't need the gold, I just wanted the excitement.

I never did much guild combat as I found others to be vapid and unreliable.  Spending an hour waiting at a guildhouse while various members were getting ready wasn't my idea of fun, so other than a fairly small number of close friends, I mostly played solo.

Shortly after quitting UO, I was in a major motorcycle accident and lost the use of my right (dominate) arm.  It took me years to start gaming again and even now I find that I fare better at strategy games rather than action games.  I have adapted my play-styles to accommodate my limitations as best I can and I have found various ways of staying competitive.  I have a multi-button mouse.  I use a G510 keyboard and have hotkeys set to many of the keys to try to compensate.  I do what I can.

I recently started playing UO again on a free server.  I have virtually all of my skills at GM now and a few are higher as I was able to get my hands on a power scroll or two.

I am still trying to learn the basics of this game that has taken the name and look of the game I played so many years ago, but it is a fairly steep learning curve.  I thought that I would be okay to try a couple things harder than the new player things and QUICKLY got my rear handed to me.  That is why I started looking at scripts and macros.  Obviously, not only do I need to do a lot of learning, but I'm going to need a large amount of money and resources to get my character geared for more solo play.

I'm still unsure if I will be able to keep up or if I will find myself as a reseller and crafter.  I would prefer to find a way to get myself equipped and competent enough to adventure and pvp and such, but if that fails, I'll still be happy.  :)

Sorry for the rambling and I hope I get accepted.  I would love to grab a script or three... auto looting and the like.

Thanks again...

An ABCUO new player
