UOAI Beta v0.1 - RunUO

Artaxerxes · 11-18-2008, 01:31 PM

Some time ago the main developer of easyuo (EasyUO :: News), launched the idea of an open-source scripting tool for gamers, supporting initially only Ultima-Online, but with a standardized interface to the gaming-engine, so that in principle any game could be supported.

Inspired by this idea I decided to write such a game-engine for ultima online, but using microsoft COM/ActiveX as interface-standard, rather than the standard proposed on the easyuo-forums.

A first beta of the resulting library of ActiveX objects is now available for download at http://www.decelle.be/UOAI.

It has been tested only for UOML 2D-clients on a WindowsXP 32-bit machine and will most likely give you some trouble on Windows Vista (feedback welcome) and is unlikely to run correctly on a 64-bit machine.

The current version of UOAI basically provides the same functionality as EasyUO does, but in an object-oriented form, as a library that can be used from any programming or scripting language that has COM-support, including vbScript, Java, Perl, C, C++, C#, vb.Net, ... and even LUA.

The current version is a beta, so I'm looking for feedback from beta-testers. Also, I have to stress that beta also means unfinished and most likely buggy, so don't expect it to work perfectly... yet.

Take a look at http://www.decelle.be/UOAI for more info.

Seems like an interesting project, keep it up!

Artaxerxes · 11-19-2008, 07:00 AM

Its just a first version though, so i need people testing it.

I had to disable the download temporarily, since my first upload seemed to have some minor problems.

Those problems should be fixed now, so please feel free to download UOAI from http://www.decelle.be/UOAI

... and please provide feedback!!!... independent of whether it crashes on your first try or whether it crashes never at all on your system... I'd like to know!

Artaxerxes · 11-23-2008, 07:00 PM

Update on UOAI:
- Current version is already quite stable now, and functionality is growing rapidly.
- Also, a .NET wrapper, by Arul, is now available for UOAI

I'm looking for C# developpers, visual basic 6 or javascript developpers, to write some samples using UOAI!

If you are such a developer, please give UOAI a try... I'm sure you will be impressed by what you can do with it.

Once you're convinced, don't forget to upload your code to the UOAI forums!

Greetz,
Artaxerxes

Thank you! Also try to see what you CANNOT accomplish, then let me know, so that I will know what to work on in the future

What does UO "AI" stand for? Because I am getting confused for (Artificial Intelligence)

Artaxerxes · 11-24-2008, 06:01 PM

UOAI can be used to write Client-Side A.I. scripts, with A.I. as in Artificial Intelligence... no confusion there.

Ofcourse, UOAI does not provide the intelligence yet, you'll have to add that yourself.

Also in future versions typical A.I. tools, such as a (large-distance) pathfinder and a graph-based decision maker (f.e. to write combat AI) might be included in UOAI. (if i ever get to that...)

Update on UOAI:

UOAI now supports ActiveX event-based programming
Now forwarded from www.UOAI.be

Artaxerxes · 01-05-2009, 09:50 PM

A new, more stable and faster version of UOAI was released, with an extensive Managed Wrapper Library included.

- Supports all recent UOML 2D clients.
- Fast event system, including Client.OnPacketReceive(byte[] Packet, uint packetsize) and Client.OnPacketSend(byte[] packet,uint packetsize) events.
- UOAI now supports sending and receiving packets (encryption/decryption and encoding/decoding are performed by the client).
- Reference Guide for the managed wrapper is now available.
- Much more... check out the UOAI website at UOAI Main Page for more info!

Anyone have any idea why I can't load his website or forums? He got IPs banned or something? This is really strange.

Mideon · 02-15-2009, 12:44 PM

Hrm still out for me, my ip range must be banned or my isp has blocked it.

I'll have to see if I can access the site from my campus.

Thanks for the info everyone.

Although it is far more than what it was when this project was started.
