MMOScripting

MMOScripting.com will be relocated to a new url: http://winuo.org/blog

This is the first update in a long time. I’ve been neglecting this blog, as well as my main website and haven’t posted anything since October.

I will make at least 1 post per day from now on; expect a lot of changes in the format of the site!

Hope you all had a happy new years!

FTA:

The Glider software is the creation of MDY founder Michael Donnelly who is thought to have sold more than 100,000 copies of the $25 (£14) program.

It proved popular with many WoW players as it helped them automate the many repetitive tasks, such as killing monsters and scavenging loot, required to turn low level characters into more powerful ones.

The damages award could have been bigger if MDY had not won some of its arguments about damages in court, said game law expert Benjamin Duranske on the Virtually Blind website which has lead coverage of the case.

How to become a WinUO contributor:

There are no sure fire ways to become a contributor. How it works on this site, is a person must be nominated by a moderator and voted upon by the other moderators. In order to become nominated, you have to be active and helpful in the forums. Post count isn’t an issue when being considered as a contributor. You can have as little as 5 posts and be nominated if those posts are useful and filled with rich, genuine content. You also don’t have to be a scripter, but that certainly helps . If you are active, make helpful posts, and friendly around the boards, you will most likely be picked.

Here’s a short preview of the program.

This is the screen you will see when you first launch the program. I’ve toyed around with a webbrowser & cutenews, but I’ve decided against it and would rather use a rich text box. It’s hard to keep the WebBrower’s user-agent the same once you click on a link inside the browser and the whole backend system relies on user-agents and a few other tricks to keep people out if they are not using the program. It’s not exactly fancy, but there are a lot of things that I’m able to do with it and I like it so far.

This is the Public Scripts screen. Scripts that have not been kept private will appear here. If you upload a script and decide to add it to public scripts it will be added to a moderator queue for approval.

The login screen. If you successfully log in a new tab called “My Scripts” will appear on the main form. It has a interface similar to the public scripts, but the only items shown are the ones you have uploaded yourself. Accounts are not yet tied in with the forum, but I’m hoping that I will be able to do that. If not, I’ll add a way to register an account directly from the program.

All of the scripts you uploaded will appear here. I haven’t worked on this yet, but it will be fairly similar to the way the Public Scripts tab works. If you upload a script and choose to keep it private, it will not go to moderator queue and will automatically be added to your account. All scripts are encrypted through the program and you must choose a master keyphrase (it will be stored in your registry, encrypted) in order to save it. The point of the keyphrase is to maximize security by not allowing prying eyes to see your scripts. This means even if the database is compromised, they will be unable to decrypt your script without the keyphrase. The admins and moderators will be unable to see your scripts too. The only scripts of yours that we will see are those which have been chosen to be shared.

This is a mini script editor. In order to upload a script to the database you must make sure you place a script inside the editor. You can do that by copy/pasting, opening a script via the menu, or grabbing it directly out of EUO (you choose the tab, the program will get the text from EUO).
Before This program is released to the public I will add a few more features to the script editor. I plan to add syntax highlighting and possibly a syntax checker. It wont be a full fledged editor since it will only be used to upload scripts to your account.

Adding a script to your account.
The descriptors are just like EUO-standard PSL headers.
I’m still working on adding the encryption, so this form will change a bit.

The program is scheduled for public testing by the end of the month.

“WHow do I get access to the Crystal and Shadow housing tiles? I can’t find it on uogamecodes.com.”

The Crystal and Shadow tiles are only accessible to players who have the 9th Anniversary box - which is very hard to find right now. Furthermore, the actual housing tile tool tells you to go get it on uogamecodes.com, but… it’s not there! This is something we’re actually working on - the message isn’t lying to you, it’s just early. At some point in the foreseeable future, you’ll have a way to get access to those tiles without having to raid the back room at Gamestop.

“Why do I not get Compassion for doing escorts in New Haven?”

This was a change that went in as part of Publish 54 that was apparently unclear, as we’ve been getting a lot of bug reports on it - for the record, those escorts are not currently intended to give Compassion. This is actually consistent with the original design for Compassion, as the New Haven escorts are not particularly challenging (you can see the original design here.)

“Why did my bonded pack animal disappear after I logged off?”

QA has been getting bug reports on this, and wanted to bring it up. Pack animals do NOT auto-stable if they have items in them - bonded or not. In order for the animal to auto-stable, the packs must be completely empty. Otherwise, the pet will stay in the world, losing loyalty and eventually going wild, if it doesn’t get killed first.

Thieves’ Guild Bug Update

QA is still trying to find the cause of this bug - we haven’t gotten a reproducible case yet. We are continuing to work on it, and please do continue sending in bug reports with as much info as you can - if we can find a common thread, we should be able to pin the bug down.
