//on another note, they have a $400 forum...I dunno if they bought it or not.../report.

Tannis said:That stupid site has a core download for RunUO, and they're not making any attempt to hide the fact that it is in fact the RunUO core that's been decompiled, modified, and recompiled. I hate jerks.
Cyndrz said:Well I came here today just for this reason so I am glad I found this post because I do have something to say. I may not be the right person to post this and maybe I am. I am no programmer and understand none of it, I do some of my own scripting which I have not shared because I have not the time to figure out how to host a script to share, I am sure it is maybe simple and will venture that way some day.
As a shard owner I was alittle taken back when a person showed up on my server by the name of Jesse and starting inviting me to join this UOPatch and this RunUO scripting site, saying our server was perfect and that they didnt want any lame servers, well I dont think of my server as lame by all means but it is a small mom and pop type server.
Needless to say he also ran down UOGateway and this site which I love both so that didnt sit to well with me. He also offered to fix my save gump ( didnt relize there was anything wrong with it ) which wasnt my script or gump to begin with, I did modifie it to may liking but none the less not my work.
I sent the gump to him over MSN and I might add he had some very crued picture on which turned my stomach a few times over. Needless to say I never did get the gump back not that it matters it was a copy. I didnt care for the way UOPatch worked plus there was no place for a sever that offers more them PVP or RP to be added but I wouldn't completely rule out UOPatch but I will add that this Jesse and his RunUO script sight makes the UOPatch sight look really bad and I will tell you why I feel this way.
There where very few scripts listed (I am sure the save gump will show up there and on Jesse's server) and I use alot of the scripts listed there that I got from this site and not a single script had any credits listed to the real scripter and I go out of my way to remember who scripted what and even have thank yous listed on my sight to a few of the scripters. Jesse also told me he had the new runuo release listed on his sight with full ML functions and that his server also had this up and running and that he had a custom made crafting system.
So I checked this out to find that none of it was true and that he was also using a old modified version of the Daat99 OWL system ( which he also ran down ) in fact outside of the custom map that I couldn't see ( trees in house ect) I didnt see a single custom script there but then I could have missed it I guess. I Have no idea if something can be done about this and you sure dont have to take my word for it just going to the site will say it all. Sorry I am so long winded but this really bothered me and I had to get it off my chest. http://www.runuoscripts.net/
