Monster Contract Dealer & Monster Contract

[Soultaker]

Script: Monster Contract Dealer & Monster Contract
RunUO Version: 2.0 RC1
Script Version: 2.0a
Creator: Raisor: Created the Monster Contract sytem for RunUO ver 1.0 - Old Link Here
Darkness_PR Made the NPC for the Monster Contract System for RunUO ver 1.0 - Old Link Here
Soultaker: Updated to RunUO ver 2.0 and doing my best to keep it going

Description:

This package brings the "Contract Dealer" which by the name of it it lets player get a contract easily. The way it works is a player goes to him and click him once and choose talk, once they hit talk the deed is drop into the player backpack automatically, it will show a Gump saying what they received.

The monster contract is a simple deed that ask for a certain type of creatures for you to hunt, once you have collected the amount of corpses of the creature you need to hunt the button saying Claim Corpse it will say Claim, once they hit it will give the player the amount of gold given in the deed. Keep in mind it random and the amount to kill is also random.

Installation:

Simply save the files into your Custom Script folder and save and restart your server,
and spawn [add MonsterContractDealer somewhere so player can get to him and get the deeds.


Notes:
To add the contract it self in game use [add MonsterContract


The monster contract is for "noob" players that need some income to buy their supplies and what ever they need.

The monster contract is a deed that will display how many and what kind of monster you need to kill and then get the reward from it, the type and amount of monsters to kill is totally random so you will not take the same deed and monster the same time twice.

Hey thats kinda neat

Good job man.

Is it possible to make this as a quest instead? Instead of giving out tons of Deeds. Something similar to the paladin quest where we have to kill x hordeminions and return to uzeraan for reward. =D

The NPC will ask to kill x amount of this mob to get this reward.

Come back to the npc to collect reward and get a new contract for harder mission.

Or sorry if I can't explain properly.. how about tag the account so if they have received a contract, they will have to finish that before getting a new one?

Contract movable=false. Or if players don't like it like that. Have a command gump showing their contract or showing a gump that says you have no mission to kill anything if they don't have a contract?

Just to make it look more realistic and professional rofl. You can ignore this post though all of the above is just imagination lol.

Cool Script... The New Players will like it, when ever I get DSL and get new players...lol , This will help them use the shard spawn instead of wanting Training Elements. :-) Cool script.. Thanks

I haven't tackled doing a quest yet but i'll definately take a look and see if i can actually figure out how to do it! It would be a different type of thing everybody would probally like.

Nod, some players just get bored outta there skull having to fight the training elementals.. i love this way alot better!

=D

Yeha! It would be awesome if it worked.
Like in most single player rpgs where there is a guild and you can get jobs from the receptionist npc:
Eliminate or something else.

Or it doesn't have to be a quest gump. It could be like a command gump to replace the deed.

[contract,[mcontract,[monsterhunter,[monstercontract,[mercenary,[jobs
If contract has been assigned:
Current Contract
Creature Type To Kill
Amount to Eliminate
Current Status x/x
Reward Type

Claim Button
Close Button

If character has no contract:
Current Contract
You have not been assigned to do anything.
Reward Type: None

Close Button

If that works then this system can be improvised to even items! Just like Radiant Mythology for the psp.
Elimination Jobs: Mobiles
Searching Jobs: Items
Crafting Jobs: Items

Just suggestions and can be ignored

Scripts Awesome!

I just put it on my list of things to do... but i'm not quite sure on how to change that setting off hand, if i can figure it out though i will be sure to post it up there. or if anybody else does before me i can put it up in the top submission one for pets & one without depending on what each person likes

Cya soon

Soultaker, about all I do is quests. You may want to check out my script library on my quests that I have currently published. I have two quests in my files for RC1 and RC2. You may get some ideas on how you want to convert them to a quest from what I have done already. I am currently working on a third quest to finish off this batch and will have that out in about a week or so. If I get snowed in and I can stop playing with my Wii , I will get them done faster. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks.

This script is real good work, but there is one point that could be better, because we have the problem, that a single player stays at the contract dealer and gets a crontact and a contract and a contract since they have 50 or more contract before they start huntig. I lookt long time in your script, but i doesn't find a nice way to limit the contracs to 1 contract for hour ( as example )
I would be glad if you can implement that, maybe as a can not must implement???

Keep up your good work

[LadyRhia]

this is a simple fix you can do lengthen the time between spawns of the contracts on the spawner

[Fargol]

@ LadyRiha Can you mayby give me an example for that? Or can show me, how to do it? Because all my tries were only mistakes, at the moment. I hope you can help me, even when it is so easy like you say..

Thanks a lot

My two cents...

I make several things on it, but it was made times to times, and I release it as it is today, without comments or todo/install, sorry. And also, lots of messages are in french^^

It's the same, but :

- Book still open on use
- Contracts in book are alphabetical-sorted
- Corpses can be added even if killed by summoned or controlled
- You can set the rarety of each type of monster
- The price reward is already random, but also regarding monster rarety
- There is a delay between two contracts, as for BODs

In the code, something is radically changed : the relation between corpse and contract was tested regarding strings, but now it is tested with type.

And the switch/case making monster list is replace by an array MonsterContractType[]

It is explained in the SecondReadMe.

Thanks again to originals authors.
