A few scripting questions

[Gaara_Gaara]

Hi all, I have a few scripting questions involving the scripts you start with. First off I wanted to know if there was a way I could edit the name of spells completly in the mage book, the little icon it gives you for the side, and what you say when you cast it. Another thing I wanted to know if there was a way to delete un wanted skills from the skill pop up or rename them to what I want them to be renamed to. Thirdly I wanted to know if there was a way to change the basic scripts on all axes to use macefighting instead of Swordsmanship.

Hi,

Please don't hesitate to use the return key to create more aerated paragraphs, it's easier to read.

Open your spells folder. You'll find all the spells sorted by levels (one to eight) or system (necromancy, chivalry).

At the top of each spell, you can change the mantra.

Now the icon : it isn't defined by script but in gumpart.mul and gumpidx.mul, you need a software like mulpatcher to edit it.

To see all the editable .mul content, the best tool is InsideUO.

The "easy" way to do it is to recompile RunUO itself. Search the forum, you'll find a lot of posts explaining you step by step how edit skills and how to recompile.

The easiest way is to work with these skills name.

Sure! Open Scripts\Items\Weapons\Axes\BaseAxe.cs and replace:

PHP Code:

public override SkillName DefSkill{ get{ return SkillName.Swords; } } 


by:

PHP Code:

public override SkillName DefSkill{ get{ return SkillName.Macing; } } 


Good coding

First off I wanted to know if there was a way I could edit the name of spells completly in the mage book,

the mage book is a pre-defined gumpart in the client. to change the name you would have to basically create a whole new gump.

the little icon it gives you for the side

that is client side art. not without modifying the client. very advanced stuff.

and what you say when you cast it

thats inside the actuall spell file itself. did you even bother to look?

Another thing I wanted to know if there was a way to delete un wanted skills from the skill pop up or rename them to what I want them to be renamed to

skills are defined client side. the easiest way to do this is to create your own gump and new skill system seprate from the osi skills. you can disable certian skills, that information is in SkillCheck.cs if you do it right.

Thirdly I wanted to know if there was a way to change the basic scripts on all axes to use macefighting instead of Swordsmanship

if you had bothered to even look at the scripts, you would see how easy it is to do this.
