Abilities System, with Tree Harvesting, Building houses from Recipes, +more [2.0, 2.1, 2.2, SVN]
What is this?
This is a huge, partially complete system that was collecting dust and benefiting nobody. I decided to release it so someone could get something out of it. If you are reading this, then hopefully that someone is you.
The idea for this system began when I decided that there were some ‘skills’ in UO, like riding a horse, that were taken for granted, and I wanted to see if I could implement a new ‘skill’ that would correct this oversight. What I ended up with was a little more ambitious, but I will get to that.
Another aspect of the design of this system was that I wanted to do it without having to use an existing skill, and I wanted to do it without any modifications to Core files, so it would be drag-and-drop capable. In other words, I did NOT want to just create another use for Carpentry or Animal Lore, for example, but I wanted whole new skills with their own names and purposes, but without appending them to the Core set of RunUO skills.
The system that I present here is an ongoing work of mine for almost 2 years. There were many months that I did not work on it at all, and as you probably know I have not been active in RunUO at all for a very long time. I recently dusted off some of the old scripts I had left unfinished, and I also joined a few shards, re-familiarizing myself with it all. Note, that this system is only somewhat complete. There are gaps that need to be filled, and I will explain those as I go.
Let me now attempt to present the entire system as clearly as I can. There is a lot here, so please read everything carefully before using it. This system was tested in a clean copy of SVN 345 and SVN 346. I am certain it is compatible with most other 2.0 versions also, although I would think you would need to change many of the files to get it to port to a 1.0 Server.
HOW TO INSTALL:
Extract the zip file to your RunUO folder, say 'Yes to all', and since there are no modified distro files, this is safe. Enjoy - it will work as-is with no modifications, but see below descriptions for important notes.
The system is comprised of three main areas:
1. Tree Harvesting
2. New ‘skills’ which I call ‘Abilities’
3. Building system
1. Tree Harvesting:
This part of the system is an attempt to add pseudo-realism to the UO world by making every tree in the world produce goods based on it’s type, as opposed to the original system, in which oak trees can give Yew logs and maple trees can give Bloodwood logs. To do this, I created a tool called the Tree Harvest Tool. This tool has 5 functions, as shown in this image:
Using this one tool, you can gather a multitude of new resources from the trees. My ultimate objective was to then have those resources be used to produce useful products, like medicines, dyes, food, and weapons. Although I never completed the products part, the harvesting works great. If you use the Investigate Tree option, it will tell you exactly what type of resources you can obtain from the tree you are examining.
The Tree Harvest system uses 4 of the new Abilities, TreePicking, TreeCarving, TreeSapping, and TreeDigging.
2. New Abilities:
In addition to the Tree Harvesting abilities, there are another 26 Abilities in the system. Many of these are fully implemented. Some will require additional work to complete. The Core files for this system were basically copied from the Core RunUO Skills files, and then the word ‘Skill’ was replaced with ‘Ability’. It was a lot more complex than that, but that was how it all got started.
These Abilities are stored in a Dictionary, belonging to an item called the Master Ability Item. One will be given to you the first time you log in after adding the system. In this way, everyone’s Abilities are stored and saved persistently.
Users can view their own Abilities using the Show Abilities Gump, called with the “[showabilities” or “[showabs” commands. This gump has buttons for directly invoking those Abilities that can be invoked. It also has small tabs on the left that let you ‘drag’ the Ability away so that you have an individual gump for each Ability. Counselors and GameMasters can also bring up the Abilities of another player or themselves using the “[Abilities” or “[Abs” commands. This gump lets you adjust the values of Abilities. See the ‘AbilitiesCommands’ file for the other commands.
Here are the Abilities:
Butchering – (COMPLETE) – when you butcher an animal instead of just using a knife on it, you get bonus meat, but fewer hides, etc.
Skinning – (COMPLETE) – when you skin an animal, you get bonus hides, scales, feathers, and a reduced amount of meat.
AnimalRiding – (COMPLETE) – this Ability will determine if you can stay mounted. (I always thought it was strange that everyone was born in UO with a natural ability to ride any animal. This Ability makes some animals harder to ride than others.)
Sailing – (COMPLETE) – this is similar to the Riding Ability. If you attempt to sail around in a boat, you might not be able to turn the way you think you should, and if you are truly incompetent, you might just wreck the boat and end up washed ashore. (This Ability was tested under limited conditions, so more robust testing should be done. It makes use of a wonderful system that actually checks the Sailing ability of EVERYONE on the boat, not just the person giving the commands. It also rewards crew members individually.)
DetectEvil – (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
CureDisease – (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
PickPocket – (COMPLETE) – allows you to practice your thievery on pretty much anyone. You should check out the script for some Boolean values that you might want to adjust before starting up the Server.
Pilfering – (COMPLETE) – allows you to steal things from display cases and other decorative objects. (Limited testing done.)
Framing, Bricklaying, Roofing, StoneMasonry – (PARTIAL) – these four Abilities are tied directly to the Building system. They allow you to construct just about every type of wall, window, floor, roof, etc. These components can then be gathered in something called a House Recipe, which when completed will provide you with the deed to your new house. To do this, you need to work with the Foreman. (I recommend that if you like this system, you may want to do some modifications to your Server so that this will be viable. For example, you might want to make houses much more expensive, to encourage people to develop their Laborer and Construction Abilities.)
Ventriloquism – (COMPLETE) – fun Ability that lets you throw your voice to pretty much anywhere, like to another person, a tree, or a wall.
Hypnotism – (COMPLETE) – another fun Ability, lets you command someone. (Probably needs more testing.) A rewritten version of CMonkey123’s Emote script is included with this system, and is required for the Hypnotism script.
PreyTracking – (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
SpeakToAnimals – (COMPLETE) – probably an overly powerful ability, it lets you commune with the animals around you so that they will guard you for a short time.
Woodworking – (PARTIAL) – this Ability lets you create odd bits like unfinished table legs, etc. The ‘crafting’ part is done, but I was originally planning on making it so you could then combine parts, stain the items, etc. None of that was done.
Cooperage – (PARTIAL) – barrel-making 101. (I never knew there were so many names for barrels.)
Spinning – (COMPLETE) – when you use Raw Wool on a spinning wheel you will get Grey Yarn. This Ability is another one of those that seeks to answer ‘why is it that everyone is born with this knowledge?’ (If you want to use this Ability, and Weaving also, you might want to change your Tailor vendors so that they buy and sell the new products. Check the scripts for the names you will need.)
Weaving – (COMPLETE) - when you use Yarn or Thread on a loom, it’s not necessarily Automatic. This is an Ability you must learn.
Construction – (PARTIAL) – this is mostly complete. This Ability measures your competence in adding various building components to the House Recipe you are attempting to construct. To implement this, the Foreman must be spawned, and you must also have a way of selling or giving away House Recipes.
Commerce – (COMPLETE) Completed Commerce system - Customizable percentage increase/decrease when buying or selling from vendors. Requires DISTRO EDIT to fully implement. (Sorry)
Brewing – (*NEW* IMPLEMENTED) Use various Tree Resources on a Heat Source to produce various Tree Products. (Make sure you have large vials or wooden bowels in your inventory.)
Herblore – (*NEW* IMPLEMENTED) Use various Tree Resources on a Mortal and Pestle to produce various Tree Products. (Make sure you have large vials or wooden bowels in your inventory.)
Teaching – (PARTIAL) – this was intended to be an Ability that lets you impart some of your knowledge of Abilities to others. The only part that is implemented is that every time you raise an Ability, there is a chance that your Teaching Ability will go up also. Check the file ‘Ability Utilities’ to see how that works.
Linguistics – (COMPLETE) – I really like this Ability. When this is enabled, any time you talk with someone who is of another race than yours, you may not understand what they are saying completely. The system automatically translates your words into a foreign dialect, unless you are listening to someone of your own race. Those with some ability in Linguistics will be able to piece together a word here, and a word there. This Ability requires the file ‘words.txt’ which should be located in the Data directory. A sample is included below. You can if you wish redesign the linguistic database using your own translations. Just make sure the format is the same – word, then the “|” pipe symbol, then the translation.
3. Building System:
The Building system was copied almost entirely from the Core RunUO Crafting system. Modifications were made to allow it to compile independently from the Core, and to use the Ability system rather than RunUO Skills. As described above, the Roofer, Framer, etc, will be able to build various components needed in the construction of houses. These components can then be brought to the Foreman, where he will add them to your House Recipe for you. Most of the Building system was tested extensively.
NOTES:
I may at some point spend more time on this or other systems, but I cannot guarantee that I will, nor can I promise to support the use or modification of this system. If I have time I will check in from time to time, but in general, consider this to be an ‘As-Is’ work, with no support.
I do NOT use Instant Message programs as often any more, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see me online. I wish I could be more active here, but I have several full-time obligations that require my attention elsewhere.
I really do enjoy creating scripts for RunUO, and I also enjoy sharing them with the community. I hope someone gets something useful from this submission.
UPDATE:
1.1: Uploaded new zip file, with fix to Doors.cs and BuildResources.cs.
1.2: New file, added ability to hide Abilities in ShowAbilities gump.
1.3: New file, Fixed Linguistics, so vendors, bankers, etc will respond to speech events.
1.4: New file, added Ability Ball to supporting files, changed Thread to ThreadSpool in supporting files.
1.5: New file, modified Ability Ball to not show hidden Abilities. Added null check to BuildItem script.
1.6: New file. Added improvements as follows:
Find this code:
After "cont = buyer.Backpack;" and before the "if ( !bought && cont != null )" you need to insert the following code:
1.9: New File. (.zip and .7z files included.) Updated Tree Resources and Tree Products to behave closer to the final desire for this system. Brewing and Herblore now implemented using Tree Resources on a Heat Source (Brewing) or Mortar and Pestle (Herblore) to produce Tree Products. Also small mod to TreeHarvest.cs to better define resources found in various trees.
1.9A: New File (.zip and .7z files included.) Modified Linguistics to allow Admin to determine the cut-off AccessLevel for forced translations. To use, set "LinguisticsLevel" on the MasterAbilityItem to the AccessLevel at or below which you wish to force language translations.
NEW FILE SYSTEM UPLOADED:
Now only 2 ZIP files uploaded. Both contain all current updates. One is for use with any version of 2.0 RC2 through FINAL (SVN 285 - 399.) The other file is for use with 2.1, 2.2, and later (tested up to SVN 830.)
I did this because I don't want anyone using an outdated version of this script simply because they are not able to compile the new one. All old revisions of this system have been removed.
*UPDATE 2/15/2012*
Created ORB SA-compatible system. Basically Ability = LokaiSkill. (There was much more to it than that, but suffice to say, it works.) Enjoy.

1.4: New file, added Ability Ball to supporting files, changed Thread to ThreadSpool in supporting files.
1.5: New file, modified Ability Ball to not show hidden Abilities. Added null check to BuildItem script.
1.6: New file. Added improvements as follows:
- Master Ability Item more stable - I was able to delete an account with characters that were part of the system, and was still able to restart the Server without error.
- Added Construction supplies and house recipes to the SBForeman script, so if you add a Foreman to your shard, he will now sell everything you need to get started.
- Started filling out uses for Tree Resources. Double-click now asks for target, and I have several started, including TreeSap becoming Pitch Supply if you use it on a Heat Source.
- System now updated for RunUO 2.2 or SVN through at least R752.
- Improvements to SpeakToAnimals to make it so they are released from following.
- A couple minor changes to Skinning and Butchering.
- Also included is a recommended change to RunUO file BladedItemTarget.cs. If you have custom changes in your file, simply copy/paste the section marked by comments in the script to your script, otherwise for RunUO 2.2, just drop mine in your Targets folder and overwrite the original. This recommended change will cause double-clicking a dagger, cleaver, butcher's knife or skinning knife to utilize the Abilities system.
- Correct BladedItemTarget.cs file now uploaded.
- Completed Commerce system - Customizable percentage increase/decrease when buying or selling from vendors. Requires DISTRO EDIT to fully implement. (Sorry)
