The ShardPack for RunUO 1.0

The ShardPack for RunUO 1.0

OFFICIAL WEBSITE:
C2NET - THE SHARDPACK


On the recommendation of the esteemed psz, I have resumed activities in the southern half of the forums.

The ShardPack is progressing towards release (slowly), and we have had several positive comments about the idea. I will re-post the devs and other information in a moment.


What will the ShardPack be?

The ShardPack will be the collected works of the following MasterScripters:
A_Li_N
ArteGordon
daat99
kmwill23
LucidNagual
Phantom
RoninGT
and, less importantly, myself.
More to come?

What is the purpose of the ShardPack?

The ShardPack's purpose is to rapidly allow new admins to deploy high-powered, professional scripts to their shard in a unified manner, and be assured of quick support if the scripts should malfunction. It will, through threads and a forum, provide quick and Pack-specific help to admins using the latest version of the Pack.

When can we expect the ShardPack?

I have not yet asked all devs that I want to ask to participate. I have gotten a few big names, and figured I would announce the idea, so that you may voice suggestions and comments. Therefore, I would guess the actual release is still some weeks off.

What scripts will be in the ShardPack?

The major scripts to be included in the ShardPack will be:
  • A_Li_N's Public Gates
  • A_Li_N's Full Spellbook
  • A_Li_N's CleanChamp (in daat99 OWLTR distro)
  • ArteGordon's XML Spawner & Extensions
  • daat99's O.W.L.T.R. System
  • RoninGT's FS Animal Taming System
  • Giga Spawner*
  • Knive's Chat System
  • A_Li_N & Lucid Nagual's AllSpells 0.0
  • TM SkillStat System 2.1

*Gigaspawner will be supported independently at its website.

Other major and minor scripts may be added as we go along.

Who takes credit for the ShardPack?

All the scripters that script for the ShardPack will maintain individual credit for their works. This in no way subtracts from or diminishes their claim to their scripts, which, I assume, will continue to be offered individually, without the need for the ShardPack.

Will I need to use all the scripts in the ShardPack to implement it?

No. When the ShardPack is released, you will have a gump that will allow you to dis/enable any portion or system that you do not wish to have implemented on your shard. Each system will probably maintain its own individual gumps, which will be easily accessible from a central gump. Don't want my SkillSystem? Turn it off.

For any further questions and comments, please post here, and I, or one of the other devs will answer them. If we would like you to contribute, we will ask. If you think you have something that would be good, please post here.

Thank you!

If you guys don't want to get flamed/legal terms, just create an entire new class derived from the other classes... Saves energy later on. :] Flame me if you wish, thats all I am contributing to this, and will probally not be back on this thread.

Every single script its being lets say "DONATED" by their authors....so no need to get flammed by that....

Ja...all the authors have been asked to donate their scripts, and all have agreed -- it's not like I'm just stealing their scripts and saying "I'm going to distribute these now!" :confused:...

bah, don't worry about it. to me, that comment was a total non-starter to begin with. its already garnered too much comment.

this ought to be nice once its completed. should be a great distro to point people twords.
 

TMSTKSBK

Lord
EEP!

/me fixes that...

Fixed that.

Boards are in alphabetical order, so no favoritism here. Devs need to come sign up...

Repost from Starbucks:

I hope the mods will not consider this advertising. If it is, please delete this post, and I will inform the necessary parties via PM.

However. In order to more fully control and police (although the mods here do an excellent job) discussion about the ShardPack, the following website has been created.

All devs of this project will be mods...but you must register to be a mod :p

Major updates will continue to be posted here.

Need a better name. Dunno what, though.

I am honored to announce that RoninGT will be joining the devs.


EDIT:
Someone was attempting to hack my webserver earlier today. Therefore, my website might be spotty at best. The hacker has left, but he might be back.

EDIT 2:
Seems like my server came through it with no ill effects. The site should be fine.

Anyone interested in have a chat about the Pack? If you are, I'll try to arrange something.

Thanks for the interest!

So when?

So when will the ShardPack will be released?
'cause i'm really tired of trying to combine Daat99 Custom OWLTR with other scripts, such as FS AnimalTaming and the SEPack
Hope to see the SP soon.
