RP shard

[Eldask]

i'm a complete noob in scripting, but I'm trying to start an RP shard in RunUO... i have 2 scripters ready to start, but i'm completely lost in all of this scripting thing, so i wanted some help if u can

Can u point me some useful custom scripts for a rp shard? For example
- A simple and easily customizable race/class system
- Hunger, death system (one wit a limited number of deaths, faints, etc)
- Some kind of recognition system (something that hides the char X true name, and another char Y can only see over X head the name that he presented himself, like a tag or something)*

*this last one is hard to explain, but worked pretty well in one rp shard that I played

and another simple question, is RunUO a good emulator for rp shards?

thx for any reply

Do searches in custom script submissions. I think you'll find pretty much everything you need in there. And the RP part more depends on the players. Ultima is good for it, yes, but its the players that make it happen.
Do searches for Race, Hunger, Incognito, things like that.

I would advise your scripters to think about a way to modify PlayerMobile. It should be possible. These are the methods you would need to override to create the desired effect:

SendPropertiesTo
OnAosSingleClick
AddNameProperties
GetProperties
OnSingleClick
DoSpeech
OnSaid
HandlesOnSpeech
OnSpeech

You might also want to modify the NameHue, TitleHue, and also look at the scripts Titles.cs and Notoriety.cs.

My Race/Class system is customizable, but I wouldn't call it EASY by any means. My system requires HEAVY modifications in order to fully implement it. Almost none of the new skills are coded yet. I would love to see someone put it into production, but I have yet to hear from anyone who has taken on the project. (I am still waiting...) That reminds me, I should probably find out if anyone has made any progress on that.

thank u all for replying...

well, I'll try to browse again for the custom scripts, but the only problem that i've found is that all the classes n race system are too complex for me (btw, great script lokai, but it's really too complex and changes lots of game mechanisms, and i'm afraid that we'll not be able to deal with this)

the class and race system will be something extremely easy, maybe even without a class, but only with some kind of skill choosing at the creation, like "i'd like to make a thief, só stealing+snooping+hiding+stealth+poisoning+fencing ", something simples like this, and the race will only modify stats caps, like 130 STR, 70 DEX and 50 INT for orcs, for example... I think a very simple script will do

and about the "recognition", I have a script for sphere, if u want to take a look i can post it here only for u to understand how does it works and maybe adapt it to runUO for public use =)

So I'll give a simple explanation
1º No one can see the name of others chars, when you look to one appears like this "Human - Unknown"
2º U have a command, like for example, .rec that gives u a target, and when targeting another char u can write his name, some kind of tag, whatever u want to help u recognize it later, like "Human - Motherfucker who killed my dog" or "Human - Chuck Norris"
3º When somebody uses any item that cover the face, the character, even if you already know him, appears as "Human - Unknown"

and like hammerhand posted, rp shards are player made, that's why i'm saying to the others gms to calm down and make the shard simplier, using lots of default UO systems, so i'm trying to make it in runUO because it's much more developed concerning deafult systems than sphere, for example

but anyway, i'll browse some of the customs again

I think you are correct. I know several shards have used my Advanced Player Gates with some success, you might have a look at those. Pretty straight-forward, and require no scripting. All customization is done by your GMs in game using an easy gump or [props.
