For runuo 2.0
- Thread starter goofykid
- Start date
The bottom line of all of this is... if you are too lazy, not knowledgable enough, or cannot be bothered by it, then those same things apply to runuo and running a shard itself.
And if anyone says something like 'but I wanted to use it for my friend and I', then you can seriously reconsider. RunUO is SERVER SOFTWARE, which (I guess it doesn't anymore) used to imply SERVER KNOWLEDGE in order to run. You would not put up a Windows 2003 server to have windows logins for your family (which you wouldn't need, alas) if you didn't even know where to buy Windows 2003.
You need knowledge, you need common sense, and you need stamina to run a shard, and the same applies to acquiring the requirements to run runuo.

I didn't see one message there that could be considered a flame. You wanna see flames, take a look around Starbucks.
What Spider just stated is purely a fact.
I have done coding for a living in Java, and have only recently found out how much I really don't know. People (including myself) flamed Phantom/Seanchen mercilessly for being rude (which, yes, he had a tendency to be), but I have now learned why.
After the hundredth time you see a post "Hey, I need Knive's Chat" when a simple search with two clicks and about 12 keystrokes would have lead them to what they need, or someone downloads script1.rar and then claims "This script doesn't work. I put the rar file in my custom folder and nothing happened", you also would get frustrated by the lack of knowledge and/or effort in here often.
As Spider said, this is server software. It does require knowledge to operate, develop, and maintain. Explaining simple computer operating skills such as how to find a file or text in a file have to be explained, it becomes obvious that the person, while maybe extremely nice and intelligent, needs to go on their own and learn the basics of a computer before they try to tackle programming. And even the ones that can use Windows well in their sleep may not have even the slightest idea how to code. Most here do not mind attempting to help anyone as long as it is obvious that they have made an effort to learn and/or do on your own.
There are links to all the programs one could possibly need all over this forum. So I hope you can understand, when one has been provided with a link and/or directions to a necessary program to operate RunUO and they want it included in the package, that it really sounds like pure laziness.
That is what irritates many around here.
Please just think about that, as people will be much more willing to help.
Joeku helped me yesterday with one of the stupidest questions I have ever seen on this forum, but he took my word for the fact that I had looked (even though once he answered it was obvious that I was blind AND stupid since the method I asked about was exactly where I expected it should be and I couldn't seem to find it), and was kind enough to provide a correct answer.
What you asked for was not only not a modification, but, in my opinion, a waste of valuable time and effort on the part of the Team.
They have lead us all to water, and provided clear maps to other water sources should we not like the taste of this pool. It is up to us to drink it.

There's absolutly no reason to lock this thread, you made a "suggestion" and you get responses, deal with it.
There isn't a single post in this thread that I can agree with more than I agree with this.XxSP1DERxX said:
For those that didnt know (Hell I didnt know untill I used it for something else), when ya put the winxp cd in your drive, there is a link that comes up in the window that allows you to install .net right off the cd. No update needed. (Least this shows up on my cd - work for anyone who does not have the corporate edition?)
