[RunUO 2.0 RC1] TMSS 4.0
(v4.0.7)Introduction:
This is the follow-on to the semi-popular TMSS 3.0, also found on these forums. TMSS 4 offers some extremely debugged stuff, along with more accessible profiles, and a completely new skinning system.
STRUCTURE OF TMSS 4 (NEW!):
The "CORE" release (the .zip) does NOT contain everything you need. TMSS 3 introduced a "plugin" concept. TMSS 4 extends this to where *everything* is a plugin, not just extra add-ons. Therefore, you need to download one or more of the additional item scripts in order for TMSS 4 to be of use to you.
TMSS 4 Profile Assistant (SkillUO) is HERE
---------------
Installation:
1. Place scripts in custom directory.
Easy, eh?
Prerequisites:
RunUO 2.0 RC*
.NET Framework 2.0 (if you have RunUO 2, you have this).
No modifications to default scripts required, just drop into whatever folder your customs are in and run.
---------------
SYSTEM DEVS:
TMSS 4 has a few things you may be interested in.
1) TMQueryPage - The plugin gump system, follow-on to the Distributed Control Center found on these forums.
2) GumpList - Supports infinite lists, when used in combination with... (Released separately)
3) BaseSkin - The required set of variables for any skin. (Released separately)
4) TMSS4Skin - The implementation of skins used in this project. Good as an example of how to implement BaseSkin.
These guys should be getting some updates soon...
Known Issues:
- FOR WHATEVER WEIRD REASON, the system has something funky going on when you add it, dealing with SkillSkin. It *appears* that restarting the shard after the install run will fix this. In other words: Add > Run Shard to install > Restart shard > use.
- Major lack of documentation...I'm working on it.
- It has been postulated that this script causes names to disappear on pull-out life meters and such. This has been tracked down to the SkillReplacement script. A fix is in progress.
Commands (bold ones are important):
-- Basic Commands:
1 - [tmss - Opens the control center.
2 - [sessiontest - Creates and starts a new SkillSession
3 -[listtest - Opens a test gump for GumpList.
4 - [skilltest - Opens the Skill Gump on command.
5 - [mastertest - Opens the Master Gump on command.
6 - [fulloutput - Toggles Debug Mode 2 on and off.
7 - [ps - Opens the profile selector gump.
8 - [pr - Reloads the profiles in use.
9 - [ss - Opens the skin selector gump.
10 - [sr - Reloads the main skin.
11 - [rlskin - Same as #9
12 - [ssg - Opens the Parallel Skills Gump.
13 - [gds - Saves default skins to disk.
-- Other Commands:
14 - [setskillp - Allows you to set a parallel skill.
15 - [setallskillsp - Allows you to set a mobile's skills in the parallel system.
16 - [gsw - Writes the default Skill Skin to disk.
What this release includes:
This release includes the "Core" of TMSS 4, including the gump systems, save/load algorithms, and plugin interface code. When run, it will auto-generate information for a default profile, and information for the default skin.

General FAQs:
- How do I change a profile?
Profiles use a new paradigm of external editing. They are stored in XML format, which is not NEARLY as scary as it sounds. Basically you just open the .skx or .spr file you want to edit (~RunUO/TMSS/SkillProfiles), and modify/add/delete the correct items to configure the profile. More specific directions on this are forthcoming. SkillUO will assist you with this.
- How do I change a skin?
Skins are simple to change. Similar to profiles, they are stored in XML, which allows you to edit the skin, then reload it with the command "[rlskin". I tried to make the names pretty common-sense, but I'll review them before final release.
- How do I create a profile?
You can create a profile by creating a new .skx file for a SkillProfile, or a .spr file for a SuperSkillProfile. Then you can add entries for each skill you want to add in, or Profile, in the case of a SSP. Or, you can use SkillUO.
- How do I use my new profiles, or set them as default?
On each TMSS Skill Item, you may use the [ps command to open a profile set gump. Note that TMSI's only take SuperProfiles this way. You cannot set a simple SkillProfile as the "Profile" on an item. To set a profile as default, use the CCProfileName variable in skillsettings, or edit the skillsave.tms file.
- How can I specify which skin I want to use on an item/overall?
To change the overall skin, you need to edit the CCSkinName variable in SkillSettings, or in the skillsave.tms file. To change the skin for an item, it is similar to the procedure for changing a profile.
