Taking Powerscrolls out

[Rhivan]

I have a shard thats been up for about 6 months and lately people are quiting because they dont like the powerscrolls. Its a PreAOS shard and I thought it would be neat to add powerscrolls and now everybody suggest taking them out. Is there anyway or a command to set everybodies skill caps back to 100 so I dont have to go into each character by hand and do it? I know how to stop people from getting new powerscrolls but how can i remove the current ones and skills from players that have them. Or am I looking at just having to do a shard wipe?

You would have to write a script for the Login event and have it set all skill caps to 100.0 .
If you want to delete all in game scrolls try [global delete where PowerScroll .

I'm sure he was probably meaning like in champion spawns. Sort of, how do you set it so during a champion spawn theres no powerscrolls? I remember doing champion spawn on OSI when they did'nt have powerscrolls. Personally I think powerscrolls helped ruin the game. But i've also been wanting to know how to take them out, so any info would help me also.

Find this

		public void GivePowerScrolls()
		{
			if ( Map != Map.Felucca )
				return;

			ArrayList toGive = new ArrayList();

			ArrayList list = Aggressors;
			for ( int i = 0; i < list.Count; ++i )
			{
				AggressorInfo info = (AggressorInfo)list[i];

				if ( info.Attacker.Player && info.Attacker.Alive && (DateTime.Now - info.LastCombatTime) < TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 30.0 ) && !toGive.Contains( info.Attacker ) )
					toGive.Add( info.Attacker );
			}

			list = Aggressed;
			for ( int i = 0; i < list.Count; ++i )
			{
				AggressorInfo info = (AggressorInfo)list[i];

				if ( info.Defender.Player && info.Defender.Alive && (DateTime.Now - info.LastCombatTime) < TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 30.0 ) && !toGive.Contains( info.Defender ) )
					toGive.Add( info.Defender );
			}

			if ( toGive.Count == 0 )
				return;

			// Randomize
			for ( int i = 0; i < toGive.Count; ++i )
			{
				int rand = Utility.Random( toGive.Count );
				object hold = toGive[i];
				toGive[i] = toGive[rand];
				toGive[rand] = hold;
			}

			for ( int i = 0; i < 6; ++i )
			{
				int level;
				double random = Utility.RandomDouble();

				if ( 0.1 >= random )
					level = 20;
				else if ( 0.4 >= random )
					level = 15;
				else
					level = 10;

				Mobile m = (Mobile)toGive[i % toGive.Count];

				PowerScroll ps = PowerScroll.CreateRandomNoCraft( level, level );

				m.SendLocalizedMessage( 1049524 ); // You have received a scroll of power!
				m.AddToBackpack( ps );

				if ( m is PlayerMobile )
				{
					PlayerMobile pm = (PlayerMobile)m;

					for ( int j = 0; j < pm.JusticeProtectors.Count; ++j )
					{
						Mobile prot = (Mobile)pm.JusticeProtectors[j];

						if ( prot.Map != m.Map || prot.Kills >= 5 || prot.Criminal )
							continue;

						int chance = 0;

						switch ( VirtueHelper.GetLevel( prot, VirtueName.Justice ) )
						{
							case VirtueLevel.Seeker: chance = 60; break;
							case VirtueLevel.Follower: chance = 80; break;
							case VirtueLevel.Knight: chance = 100; break;
						}

						if ( chance > Utility.Random( 100 ) )
						{
							prot.SendLocalizedMessage( 1049368 ); // You have been rewarded for your dedication to Justice!
							prot.AddToBackpack( new PowerScroll( ps.Skill, ps.Value ) );
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}

in Scripts/Mobiles/Special/BaseChampion.cs. Delete everything between those brackets and replace it with "return true;" so it looks like this:

		public void GivePowerScrolls()
		{
                          return true;
		}

BUT BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FILE; I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS AND DO NOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK!!!
