What that means is this: From the range zero to 7.0 skill, you will get 5.0 skill points when this skill is used. I am not sure if this means successful use or both unsuccesful and success, but my money is on success. Also note the stats: This looks like minimum requirements. Zippy says different: 0 70 50 means at skill zero, you gain 70% of the time on success, 50% of the time on failure. SPELLS.SCP - This one has good descriptions of the operators in the script.

Back to Help Index REGIONS.SCP - This snippet on how to make guarded regions provided by Lord Astynax. Altering/Setting Guard Zones This is an example on how to alter/set your own guard zones. It's pretty easy, but it can be somewhat time-consuming if you are setting a zone to a large area...All this information is edited in your "regions.scp" SECTION REGION 3 { NAME the town of Britain // The message you will get upon entering the guarded zone MIDILIST 1 // Selects the midis that are played within your guarded area GUARDED 1 // Used to define wether or not the zone is guarded "1" is guarded "0" is not GUARDNUM 1000 // The guard npc's that will be found within your guarded zone GUARDNUM 1000 GUARDNUM 1000 GUARDNUM 1000 GUARDNUM 1000 GUARDNUM 1001 GUARDNUM 1001 GUARDNUM 1001 GUARDNUM 1001 GUARDNUM 1001 GUARDOWNER Lord British's // The name displayed upon entry of a guard zone MAGICDAMAGE 0 // The command that determines whether magic does damage within the city limits, "1" is yes, "0" is no MARK 1 // Determines whether marking is allowed within the zone, "1" is yes, "0" is no GATE 1 // Determines wether Gating is allowed within the zone, "1" is allowed, "0" is not RECALL 1 // Works the same as the GATE command SNOWCHANCE 10 // Used to decide the % chance snow will occur in the zone RAINCHANCE 25 // Used to decide the % chance rain will occur in the zone X1 1330 // These are the coordinates you must set to define the zoned area Y1 1695 // X1/Y1 is point "a" X2/Y2 is point "b" X2 1407 // You must "point A, point B" your way around the zone you want to create Y2 1845 // Get the where coordinates for each point, X1 1407 // and alternate between a point "a" and point "b" until you make the zone you want.

You can add as many guard zones as you want though I'm not sure what happens if two guard zones overlap. hehe I wouldn't recommend trying. For a zone border like Britain common, and Britain farms, you use the same coordinates for the border in both zones. Good luck, and have fun! Back to Help Index Advanced Trading System Script File: Regions.scp Usage: For every region you can add: GOOD (num) (Num is set into items.scp in every items.) BUYABLE (num) (Num range from -00 to +00 and is the % to add or remove from item value. (1000=100.0% , 342=34.2%) For example: if you have IRON ORE set as GOOD 1 (sets into items.scp) with VALUE=5 GP, and set here in region 3 (britain): GOOD 1 BUYABLE -153 when you go into Britain and say "Hi Vendor Buy" you see the IRON ORE as value 4...why??? Simple: BUYABLE=-153 -153 / 1000 =-0.153 (as -15.3% of original price) -0.153 x 5 (IRON ORE VALUE) = -0.765 5 (IRON ORE VALUE) - 0.756 = 4(.235) SELLABLE (num) (Num range from -00 to +00 and is the % to add or remove from item value. (1000=100.0% , 342=34.2%)This is the same as BUYABLE but take effect when you say "Hi Vendor Sell". RANDOMVALUE (num1) (num2) (Num range from -00 to +00 every item will be set on VALUERATE (Random from num1 to num2) and every VendorRestock each Item Value will be modified based on valuerate). For Example: If you set IRON ORE as GOOD 1 with VALUE=10 and RANDOMVALUE -100 100, its value changes every restock-time ranging from 9 (-10.0%) to 11 (10.0%). This changes will be added afetr calculating SELLABLE and BUYABLE and take affect when you say "Hi Vendor Buy" or "Hi Vendor Sell". Back to Help Index Houses The new house system works as Follows: Everything is stored in house.scp there are 2 types of sections for this file: SECTION HOUSE # (This will be used in the deed's morex) { ID #### (Multi id# (From insideUO) take the number inside UO gives and add 40, so a small house is 0000068 this translates into ID 4068) SPACEX # ((optional)The RADIUS of clear space needed from the center of the house.) SPACEY # ((optional)Same as SPACEX only for the Y axis) CHARX # ((optional)Offset from the center of the house that the Person making the house will be placed at when the house is built) CHARY # ((optional)Same as charX only for Y) CHARZ # ((optional)Same as charX only for Z) HOUSE_ITEM # (This refers to the other type of sections in house.scp for placing Misc items in the house, Up to 100 per house.) } SECTION HOUSE ITEM # (For items place in and around the house) { ITEM # (Item # from items.scp) LOCK ((optional) makes the item's more=the key's more, so in effect makes that item lockable, mostly for signs, doors, and chests.) MOVEABLE ((optional)Default is that all items are not movebale, use this to make them moveable) DECAY ((optional)Make the item Decay) NODECAY ((optional) Default, make the item not decay) PACK ((optional) Makes the item appear in the player's backpack) X (Offset from the center of the house) Y (Same as X only for Y) Z (same as X only for Z) } Set the deed's moreX to the SECTION HOUSE number and that house an all associated items will be added. You can enter your house without unlocking the door if you have the key in your MAIN pack. Just like OSI.... "You quickly unlock, use, then relock the door." Enjoy the new housing system! Back to Help Index HTML Stream The HTML Stream feature allows UOX to print an HTML file (You set the name and DIR) with the data you specify....

I set HTML to 30 in server.scp and then script my web page in htmlstrm.scp (See below) and every 30 seconds UOX will create this webpage as I have scripted it. server.scp: In SECTION SERVER add the line: HTML # somewhere.. where number is the Time IN SECONDS you want the page to update, 0 or -1 will disable html streaming. htmlstrm.scp: *Note* All commands MUST have their own line.

Back to Help Index Player Vendors HARDCODED Player vendor NPC # is 2117, this means whatever NPC is # 2117 will be added as a player vendor.. you could make an Orc or a daemon vendor, it'll work :-). Say Vendor buy to the vendor and you will get a targeting cursor target what's you wanna buy, and if you have enough money, it's yours. If you own the vendor, you can drag things on and off the vendor, when you drop something in his pack (not ON him) You will be asked to set the price, set it to 0 and the default from scripts will be used, you will then be asked to set a description. To get the gold from you vendor, just say "vendor gold" and he will tell you how much you have earned that day, how much he is keep as his pay (10%) and how much is left for you. If he has made less than 10 gold, he keeps ALL of it. If he has made more than 65535 gold, things get tricky. It *should* work out so if you make lets say, 80,000 gold, you should say vendor gold twice, the first time he will give you 65535, the next time, he will give you whats remaining, but he will take his 10% out both times, so be careful or he'll rip you off :-) A player vendor deed can be ANY time with type 217. Back to Help Index Races This is only a first and prelimenary implementation of player races. You will find that there has been another script added to the build, races.scp. Inside races, you will find the definitions for 11 existing races (not completely fleshed out). Basically, here is the layout for the player races. SECTION RACE # { NAME Dwarf // Name of race STRCAP 100 // Cap on strength DEXCAP 100 // Cap on dexterity INTCAP 100 // intelligence cap REQUIREBEARD // Males must have beards, will add if needed NOBEARD // Must have no beard, will delete if they have it GENDER MALE // Only males can be this race, acceptable values MALE, and FEMALE BEARDMIN 0440 // Min beard colour, must have max also, if 0, then disabled BEARDMAX 0480 // Max beard colour, must have min also, if 0, then disabled SKINMIN 0480 // Skin min colour, must have max also, if 0, then disabled SKINMAX 0520 // Skin max colour, must have min also, if 0, then disabled HAIRMIN 0440 // Hair min colour, must have max also, if 0, then disabled HAIRMAX 0520 // Hair max colour, must have min also, if 0, then disabled SKILLNAMEG 2 // Skill name gain and how much (SKILLNAME = MAGERY or whatever skill you want) SKILLNAMEL 2 // skill name loss and how much RACIALENEMY 1 // Racial enemy number... can be more than one entry RACIALAID 2 // Racial aid number... can be more than one entry LIGHTDAMAGE 5 // take 5 damage from light LIGHTAFFECT // if here, take damage from light LIGHTSECS 5 // take damage from light every 5 secs HEATDAMAGE 5 // take 5 damage from heat HEATAFFECT // if here, take damage from heat HEATSECS 5 // take damage from heat every 5 secs COLDDAMAGE 5 // take 5 damage from cold COLDAFFECT // if here, take damage from cold COLDSECS 5 // take damage from cold every 5 secs LIGHTNINGDAMAGE 5 // take 5 damage from lightning LIGHTNINGAFFECT // if here, take damage from lightning LIGHTNINGSECS 5 // take damage from lightning every 5 secs RAINDAMAGE 5 // take 5 damage from rain RAINAFFECT // if here, take damage from rain RAINSECS 5 // take damage from rain every 5 secs SNOWDAMAGE 5 // take 5 damage from snow SNOWAFFECT // if here, take damage from snow SNOWSECS 5 // take damage from snow every 5 secs NIGHTVIS 3 // night vision bonus... the number is the light level bonus you get at ANY time PLAYERRACE 0 // 0 is nonplayer race, 1 is player race LANGUAGEMIN 500 // skill value needed to interpret that races speech } Skill gain/loss information can be adjusted dynamically now, though it still can default to: For skill gain 0 None 1 Slight 2 Moderate 3 Significant and for skill loss 0 None 1 Slight 2 Moderate 3 Significant Basically, add a SECTION COMBAT MODS like this SECTION COMBAT MODS { MOD0 0     // % bonus for mod 0 MOD1 5 MOD2 10 MOD3 25 MOD4 50 } If you don't have at least 4 entries, the defaults are used. Any racial aid is flagged green, and an enemy is flagged orange. Murderers still take precedence over everything though. Race name will show up in paperdoll, as well as above their char when you click on them, as long as it is not the default race. Skill bonuses and losses are in as well (I believe), but haven't really tested this all too well. I have allowed for the creation of race gates as well, which are one time only uses (type 83, examples in file). So you will start out as a human, but can only switch races once. So be warned! There is a way to make them reusable, but that is VERY fantasy shattering, being able to switch constantly. General: I realize it's not that flash an implementation (only really useful if we could have newer art, and different object IDs... ah well, perhaps one day). But I hope you like it, nonetheless. Either way, it should be a simple thing to do. Enjoy!!! I have other tasks for now like adding new skills. Going to try and tackle that! It's easy enough to modify the Skills.mul and skills.idx file. Already done that and added entries. Plus I plan on adding a newer better weather system, to complement some of the features in here. Adding a race gate: Adding a race gate is actually quite simple. Just follow the layout I put below, for items.scp SECTION ITEM 11501 { NAME Elf // name of the gate ID 0dda // moongate type... I only use this because it is easily visible COLOR 0015 // color of moongate DIR 1 // direction facing... who knows? TYPE 83 // MUST be type 83, otherwise it won't work MOREX 1 // Race to convert to MOREY 0 // 0 means it's not reusable, 1 means it is } Also, I have modified the script for existing weapons... only useful for weapons anyway :) If you add what's following, it will work as a racial weapon. I have been thinking about racial armour, but who knows? RACE 0     // Racial weapon against race 0 Add this to the item you want to modify, and it does double damage on that race.

Back to Help Index Spellcasting Monsters This is a brief guide on how to set up monsters for using magic. Settings:- In order for your monsters to use spells you must include the SPATTACK and SPADELAY settings under the Monsters section in the npc.scp file. The value SPATTACK is set to is a combination of bits represented decimally, and the value SPADELAY is the delay between each time the monster uses a spell. There is an example below if you are confused. The first 13 bits represents spells and the last 3 Fireballs. Spell Table:- Bit dec Spell 1 1 MagicArrow 2 2 Harm 3 4 Clumsy 4 8 FeebleMind 5 16 Weaken 6 32 Fireball 7 64 Curse 8 128 Lighting 9 256 Paralyze 10 512 MindBlast 11 1024 Engerybolt 12 2048 Explosion 13 4096 FlameStrike 14 8192 Dragon Breath - 20 % of source health 15 16384 Dragon Breath - 40 % of source health 16 32768 Dragon Breath - 60 % of source health A monster using lighting, fireball and explosion. SPATTACK = 2198 The value is calculated as so:- 2198 = 128(lighting) + 32 (fireball) + 2048 (Explosion) The damage your monster will do with a spell cast is set using the MAGERY SKILL setting, again in the monsters section of the ncp.scp/uox3.scp. The level of magery will effect the damage in the same way fit does for player characters. The exception to the rule is damage the last 3 Fireballs which is set by the level of hits points of the monsters. Setting the magery level. SKILL 25 700 SKILL is the setting name 25 is the magery id in the skill table 700 is 70 magery (level/10) Example Monsters SECTION NPC 24 { NAME a lich ID 0018 SKIN 0000 DIRECTION N BACKPACK GOLD 120 230 PACKITEM 104 ATT 80 DEF 70 STR 200 INT 150 DEX 35 NPCWANDER 4 FX1 -1 FX2 20 FY1 -1 FZ1 -1 FAME 4000 KARMA -5000 NPCAI 2 LOOT 10 SPATTACK 8191 All spells SPADELAY 30 SKILL 25 700 70 magery } SECTION NPC 93 { NAME an ancient wyrm ID 003b SKIN 07de DIRECTION N BACKPACK ATT 350 DEF 150 STR 1500 DEX 50 INT 600 NPCAI 0 LOOT 1 GOLD 800 2000 NPCWANDER 4 FX1 -1 FY1 -1 FZ1 -1 FX2 20 FAME 10000 KARMA 500 LOOT 10 SPATTACK 32768 60 % hit dammage fireball only SPADELAY 80 } Back to Help Index Gump System, inscribe.gmp New Gump System: Read the inscribe.gmp file, it is well documented and should be easy to follow. If you then go into the UOX code you will see how i implemented it. Now I did NOT write the new gump system, rather Kathrrack did, and I am very impressed by it. Note that you now have to compile with the im.cpp, im.h and fromuox.h files to get all this to work properly. Inscription: Ok guys, inscription as we all know it is now here, straight from UO itself. It works like normal, click on inscribe skill, click on blank scroll (0e 34) select circle then spell and poof, you now have a scroll of whatever. Inscription currently checks the inscribe skill on a sliding scale based on the spell you are inscribing. This may need later tweaking if it is too easy to do (or too hard for that matter) Engraving: This is new and non-UO, select inscribe skill and target a piece of armor. It will then ask you for circle and spell to engrave. If successful, you will place the spell on the item with 5 charges on it. This checks the magery skill, the tinkering skill and the inscription skill, it is rather hard to master. Again this may need tweaking later. A player may engrave any item that has att or def greater than zero, thus shirts, armor, weapons, hats may all be engraved. Food and pets may NOT. Back to Help Index
