Behold the power of the search engine!
Even though this may be stated and overstated it also is underdone. The search function provided in the top bar of these forums is capable of solving well over 75% of your problems in the first few tries without any of the problems that come with actually posting a question.
A few helpful tips (which some people may disagree with):
Runuo has extensive documentation (slightly programmer oriented) in the runuo folder under docs. You may be able to find more in there than you think.
Gump studio is currently one of the most popular programs to create ingame gumps (pop-up screens), grab it at
www.orbsydia.com and give it a try.
Run a search for 'scripting toolkit' and you'll find a nice selection of files that will help create generic things like basic weapons and armor.
Keep documentation of what you change! Especially if you intend to edit default scripts you are recommended to keep documentation. It'll cut back on the errors later.
When editing maps (not decorating but editing), art files and hue files be aware that your players (as was said before) will need to download these if they want to be able to see what changed. Also be aware that you may have to redo all these changes come the next UO expansion.
The playermobile.cs is one of the most edited files. If you edit it, be aware that old players need to be converted to the new playermobile (not always easy or risk free).
I am sure others here on these forums will have at least a few pages of helpful hints to add.
Good luck and welcome to runuo.
