Starting a Script Miner

[Newsman]

Lol, no worries. I've been around the block. Most of the folks here know me from AC and winuo and uocoders.

Hehe. No buttons pressed anywhere Tarpan, I think it's just good ol' fashioned harassment... Something everyone has to put up with now and again if they want to make it here

I just got a 48 hour temp ban for using Twinkle McNugget's miner.    I am considering another account, solely for mining.  So while in the 2 day trial, they have removed the ability to mine color ore?  Crap.  Was completely ready to run like 3 temps at a time.  I guess iron ingots still sell I'll have to start a 3rd account to sacrifice to the GMs so I don't lose my aged account.

Sounds like you where not choosing suitable mining spots.  As with all resource gathering and nearly any resource gathering script you use.  The odds of getting banned if the script isnt total trash  is just down to the actual spots you choose to gather resources in.

GMs dont go looking for people to ban, people page on you.  So in order to not get banned, dont be seen by other players.  If you mine in xcave and always see joe blow in that cave its probably time you stopped mining thier .. espeacially as ive seen people do for example mine in right corner recall to middle then recall to left corner .. thats just asking for a banning.   So aviod players and you will never get banned  even if your scrpt buggs out and you walk into a wall for 4 hours....  do that around players and your done for.

Thiers a thread around someplace on this sort of stuff

Elves get a higher percentage colored ore in addition to an alleged increase in the frequency of the rare gem types.

I was using Twinkle McNugget's miner which auto ignore runes you see people mining at.  The funny thing was it was like 3 in the morning, and I was at my computer with the miner on the second screen.  I never saw anyone, and his miner never picked up anyone on the status- Makes me wonder if someone hasn't been spotting me over the last few weeks and pieced it together (maybe a scripter himself, what a dick) and left someone hiding.  I don't want to risk my almost 6 year account, so I'm probably just going to pay for a macro account.  One I can afford to lose.  I was going to create 3 temp accounts (I imbued 3 LRC/MR Str suits) and run a miners on them and just keep passing the stuff off every week and a half or so until I had enough ingots to last me a while-  but it seems according to this thread that I would only end up with Iron ingots.

Auto ignoring spots becuase of players presence is something some of my scripts have been doing for years upon years upon years, upon years and years and years....  although a new public feature on easyuo its nothing new. But as you have just found out that in and of itself is not good enough.   Its simple logic in order to ignore a spot you first have to go thier see and be seen.  Restart the script a couple times a day and see and beseen a few times a day.   Do that enough and a competitior or a zealous anti-scripter with page on you.

I dont care how many bells and whistles a given script has,  and mine has many more than the current one your using,  I refer you back to my response 3 posts back that is the essense of what matters on the whole gm paging issue everything else is just fluff .. sometimes nice fluff but still fluff

If your seeking assistance with that particular script your in the wrong place.

 

[KaliOfLS]

Yeah, I understand what you're saying.  I'm just surprised because I'm afk mined for 2 years with spewy who didn't ignore people.. and never got busted.

I also don't understand your comment 'your in the wrong place'
I didn't come here for help with a script-  I came here to discuss starting temp accounts for mining because of the comment the OP had written about not being able to mine colored on trial accounts :/  (no hostility intended)

[Endless Night]

Yup temp accounts got nerfed awhile back now.......   I think you need to place your existing mining rune books in a box and not use them for a while.. and find a good rune library and start roaming around for some new spots. 

Also I'm not sure if UO still has that account transfer option that would wipe an black marks on transfer... worth looking into if you might be using your main account unattended again.

[KaliOfLS]

I was looking for that option and emailed support because I couldn't find it.

I ran around marking 8 books and will do another 8 more.  I have a feeling I know where I was busted- Ter Mur.  I also made a stupid mistake, out of laziness.  That I"m fixing, like you said, recalling 12 tiles away makes you look obvious.  I'm changing that.
