NEW Ideas for a shard - RunUO

tpopcaz · 04-05-2004, 05:20 PM

OK this is my first post on this forum. Im usually making pol shards but ima give runuo a chance. My ideas for the new shard would be these. Oh yeah if anyone wants to create this shard i will be willing to help yall just reply on the forum.

Ideas:
New ores (steel, aluminum, magnesium, brick, stone, platium and so on)
New logs ( pine, oak, red and so on)
New rides ( windsteed, poison steed, ridable dragon)
Mostly pvp and pk. When you start off you will have the .set commands like on the osi test shard use to be. You will start off with 3 million gold. Can set up to 6 to 8 skills maxed out and change them at any time. Start with every ore and all tools and clothing.
Will have whole world and will be able to make suctom houses and have all Aos items.
WIll make a nexus( meeting place for all players) and will make tourny area to host tournyes and other events. If you can host and help me make this shard active please reply. If you have any ideas or things you think should be takin out of the shard reply also thanks

I don't want to spoil your idea but there are hundreds of shards like this.

Really, if you want to do it that way, by all means go ahead. I would suggest something more unique though.

tpopcaz · 04-05-2004, 05:51 PM

Thats kool man i just want it to be mostly pvp and pk and set it up that you can set your skills and stuff so it could be a all around fun shard. Give me some ideas to make it more unique

Dracarys · 04-05-2004, 05:57 PM

Um, well, PvP is great. If you look at the UOG shardlist though you will see that the Felucca ruleset is ... well, let's say a bit overused.

Same with the OSI style Test Centers where you can set your skills.

You could make an entirely new ruleset
You could make something like factions
You could have a PvP ranking system
...

Just think of something noone else has yet.

tpopcaz · 04-05-2004, 06:29 PM

Im thinking of having it like the test center just throwing in new stuff. Maby some races and classes. Umm could make it so that diffrent races own different cities and each race can have wars with other races. All i need are some ppl experienced with runuo and can host cuz i never used this before

Ravenal · 04-05-2004, 06:30 PM

lol the best way is to start it and try your best

I started LIKE a complete blind man! Not even knowing what

{
} meant

tpopcaz · 04-05-2004, 06:38 PM

I get ya but what i mean is i dont wanna start to make a great shard and put alot of work into it and then no hsot to ever put it up

04-05-2004, 09:26 PM

well heres an idea start building the shard and then look for a host i mean for any good shard your going to need atleast 3 months building maybe more with your novice skills in C#. sometime you got to pay yuor dues before you get the goods.

It is true, most shards I have seen are just like the one you have described. One word of advice if you are going to create a shard, DO NOT OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY SURE IT IS READY! Trust me, I know from experience, players hate it if you are constantly restarting server to insert new scripts. Before you register on UO Gateway, make sure that you haven't forgotten ANYTHING on your shard that could eventually cause problems.

tpopcaz · 04-05-2004, 10:50 PM

Thanks for yall advice now i need a team to help me make it

michaelnc · 04-05-2004, 10:55 PM

I would suggest you start with scripts before you start on world building. Also, I think you should go "under cover" on some other uo gateway shards to get some good ideas for yours. Look at how that have made their shard unique and think of some ways to make your shard unique. And no I'm not telling you to go on other people's shards and copy what they have don't, that would be lame

. I know you want a team of people to help you, but honestly I think it would be best if your started by yourself to begin with and learn all you can before letting other people help out.

tpopcaz · 04-05-2004, 11:00 PM

I understand what you are saying but the bad thing is i need someone to help me script i dont know how to script

michaelnc · 04-06-2004, 07:45 AM

Ok, heres what you do...
When I started I didn't know much about scipting C# anyways, so I i had to use what I picked up from java and html to help me. The best thing for someone like you to do is download some simple item/npc scripts and look how they are written. Then start editing a few things to see what they do. Just go from there and hopefully you can pick it up fast. If it gets to frustrating then search from some C# tutorials to help you.

michaelnc · 04-06-2004, 07:46 AM

You have to remember that this isen't a weekend project or something you do when your bored. This takes time and concentration. It will get really fustrating down the road since you are a beginner, but trust me it gets better.

Kennyd · 04-09-2004, 06:54 AM

Myes, what you're trying to do here, tpopcaz, is come up with a story and let someone else write the book, and the story itself isn't all that great either...

Like the others have suggested, start examining all the basic scripts in the runuo distro... try to understand them... before you decide on hosting a shard
