Just restart your server and it should ask you again...

yeah, if there's no admin account, when you shut down the server software, it should ask you for one when you start it back up.

If it doesnt, here's what you might try doing. once the server has started up, and you've got UOgateway setup to connect to your server, go ahead and login and create an account. then wait for the server to save (you will see a yellow message go across the screen saying that the server is saving) and then log out, and close everything down.
after that, you will need to go into your runuo folder. look in saves/accounts for a file named accounts.xml
double clicking on it should open it in internet explorer. now, right click on it anywhere inside the text and pick view source in the drop box. that will open up the source code for that file in notepad.

look for a set of lines that looks like this;

<username>greenbush</username>
		<cryptPassword>87-97-E3-BD-BE-55-47-A1-3C-73-B7-E1-1C-CF-A4-79</cryptPassword>
		<accessLevel>Administrator</accessLevel>
		<created>2004-04-16T19:54:23.9800000-05:00</created>

see that line that I put in bold? Under a player level account, that line will NOT be there. so copy it from here, and paste that bolded line into place in the accounts.xml file that you have got loaded in notepad, so it looks exactly like the code box here. (other than the names and dates, and that stuff). then click file and save.
that should manually update your account to admin level.


Btw- Welcome to the world of player run shards. It's always great to see a "lifetime" vet of Origin start up their own UO world

I've also heard that you could delete all your saves (which are useless anyways if you haven't logged in) and then it'll ask you to create an admin account again.

Great! I'm glad to hear that you got your admin account set up

as far as the supply bags that you are talking about, you MIGHT already have some of those with your server.
Try looking in Scripts\items for a folder called SupplyBags. Or just go in game and type "[add ba" that will bring up a list off all addable items that have the letters "ba" in them.
If not, then I can help you out with those, but they will need to be updated to work with 2.0. which, I havent got any experience with, so we would need to take that to the scripts support section of the forums.

custom weapons and armor and stuff. unless you are going for some really specific stuff, that is usually pretty easy. just take an existing weapon or armor script that is similar to what you are wanting to make. make changes to it, then save it as a new filename.
those are also in the same folder as you will be looking in for the supplybags folder. under armor and weapons perspectively.
and again, if you need help with those, once you have gotten them started, you can get help for that in the scripts support section of the forums.
(I'm saying that, not because I dont want to help you with it, but because I am VERY new to scripting too. That and I dont know all of the new things that they have changed since my older client was released. So me helping you with some of that stuff might hurt you more than help!)

If you are looking to add new looks to the weapons and stuff that you make, such as using a katana blade for your weapon, you will need to find the itemid's and stuff for that script. a very useful tool for that is called InsideUO.

once you have insideuo installed, it can show you what the item looks like, its itemid, and most of that other good stuff

Woot! Post #250!
lol anyways.....

Noooooo problem at all, I'm glad to help out
And it sounds like you figured out how to do the weapon pretty easy Congratulations on working your first script!

Let me know if you have any probs with those bags

[Rabban]

If you have the XML Spawner (not sure about the others), you can add custom weapon spawns (which could be made stealable) by adding /property/value after the name (or something like that).

So in the xml spawner if you wanted it to spawn a more durable katana, the entry would be something like:
katana/maxdurability/200/durability/200

Refer to the XML spawner thread for proper details if you're interested.
