(PlayerMobile.cs) Spawned chests now have a 15 minute cleanup timer triggered when double-clicked after being unlocked. Chests are not cleaned by the normal decay process until empty now.

(again=) Lowered all housing to 10% of original, and reduced piece cost to 10%, (*house*.cs) Fixed Haven option in Help menu. (HelpMenu.cs) Script Update #78: 1:03 PM 12/16/2008 Updated Scissor of BaseArmor to ignore player constructed status when returning materials. (BaseArmor.cs) Updated Wells and Fountains to update hunger gump if displayed. (MagicFountain.cs, Well.cs) Updated DecayedCorpse decay time to 120 minutes for player corpses. (DecayedCorpse.cs) World saves now every 5 minutes. Saves take 0.5 - 2 seconds now on average.

Skill gain rate for lower skill levels increased. (Skillcheck.cs) Some stat and skill loss on resurrection for non-PKs. (ResurrectionGump.cs) Script Update #76: 9:51 PM 11/27/2008 Increased starting stats for new characters. All new characters should be able to wear their starting armor. (VirtueQuestionGump.cs) Especially now, since... Modified leather armor strength requirement. All leather armor now has a strength requirement of 10. Modified Stuck menu. (StuckMenu.cs) Fixed Chat Menu (Server\PacketHandler.cs, Chatold.cs) In-game IRC-style chat handler now directed to appropriate system.

(SkillCheck.cs) Removed Young Player skill limit, now players are young for 40 hours, unless they remove their young player status themselves. (PlayerMobile.cs) 10/4/2008: Server locked up for unknown reasons. Merged in Player Government System. (Yay!) Todo for Minax phase: Finish custom overland map, merge in xmlsiege. 11/15/2008: Server locked up for unknown reasons. 11/25/2008 - Updated wireless drivers. Modified character creation console feedback. No IO Hour set to 5 AM (EST). Backup compression process set to 5:05 AM Server may be slow from 5:05 AM to 5:10 AM No downtime is required for backup. Script Update #74: 10:46 PM 9/2/2008 New server computer is hosting the shard again. Replaced wireless card. Updated RunUO to SVN 300. Script Update #73: 9:57 PM 8/22/2008 Old server is hosting the shard for the time being while I try to figure out what is wrong with the new server. ^.^; Script Update #72: 7:12 PM 6/8/2008 Updated Hunger and Thirst decay. Added Hunger/Thirst gump. Updated RunUO to SVN 282. Added some of my additional scripts, updated to RunUO 2.0 Beds and Sheets, Custom AIs, Virtue Stones. Updated RunUO to SVN 297. Testing: Fertile Dirt made to be an ICommodity (FertileDirt.cs) Slimes no longer tameable. (Slime.cs) Slimes now split. (Slime.cs) New RunUO server computer! A bit faster than the last one. Backups are now on DVDs. World saves are approximately 1-2 seconds. Script Update #71: 3:17 AM 12/26/2007 Updated vendors to draft bank account if the player does not have enough gold in their inventory. (BaseVendor.cs) Changed material return rate on smelting.

Script Update #70: 11:37 PM 12/13/2007 Network card replaced, system working fine. Updated server data files to latest version. Updated RunUO to SVN 269. Script Update #69: 6:56 PM 9/16/2007 Modified Help Page system to not delete pages on player logout. Added Tint's page in queue system, makes help requests a little more obvious. Updated RunUO to release 259. Updated server's copy of client data files. (6.0.2.0) Wireless network driver issues on server computer, connection issues ensued. Repairs in progress. Networking update: It just "freaks out" after a day. (Tons of TCP messages in Event log, no connection, etc) I know this card works since it was just fine on WEP, the switch to WPA is giving it trouble. (WEP is a joke but I used MAC filtering too. =) But I'd rather use WPA now that everything supports it. Supposedly. But Win2k is picky with wireless...) Re-enabled web status, since the server status page relies on that. Oops. (WebStatus.cs) Script Update #68: 10:04 PM 8/11/2007 Updated RunUO to release 196. Updated server's copy of client data files. Script Update #67: 9:22 PM 8/5/2007 Updated RunUO to release 190. Updated server's copy of client data files. Script Update #66: 8:54 PM 7/5/2007 Updated RunUO to release 187. Updated server's copy of client data files. Script Update #65: 9:48 PM 5/27/2007 More changes to monster notoriety. I think I got them all. Bankers now sell Bank Chest Deeds, for placing in housing. Updates to Bank Chests, cleaning up code. Updated Bestiary with multiple background images for more variety. Bestiary. Script Update #64: 1:35 AM 5/27/2007 Changes to various monsters to make them show up as "red". Modification to the Lich's Castle and Lich's Tower dungeons: The Magic Orbs will not appear until the guardian is slain. Changes to the appearance of Spectral Armour enemy. Is now Spectral Warrior, with a different look. Added Bestiary! Bestiary. Changed how server reports consider players as valid for calculation. This should allow reports to actually show useful information now. (Reports.cs) Added Music Box. Testing. Script Update #63.1: 12:04 AM 5/24/2007 Updates to staff tools. Script Update #63: 10:33 PM 5/23/2007 Big one: The server is now on port 2593. RunUO: server.the-retelling.org, port 2593 You will need to delete the ConnectUO or ConnectUO Desktop entry for this shard, there is a bug where the edit option does not work. =( Script Update #62: 8:32 PM 5/23/2007 Added gift items to new player character creation. Made skill gain a little faster at lower skill levels. (SkillCheck.cs) Ported Magical Trainers: Magical Trainers are like Pickpocket Dips, Training Dummies, or Archery Buttes. Double click on them to raise skill. In this case: Magery. Updated to the latest version of Knives Townhouses - Townhouses script package controls rentable vendor stalls and rentable inn rooms, among other things. Inn rooms will now be forced private, while rental stalls will be forced public. Rentable Inn Rooms (rooms in an inn with a rental sign nearby) offer more storage and space but you cannot set up vendors in them. Rentable Vendor Stalls - Small stalls with few lockdowns but much storage, includes table and chair for vendor, plus container for storage. Comes in varying sizes to hold different numbers of vendors. Both of the above work like houses, meaning you can only have 1 at a time, and not if you have a house. Nujel'm looks nice as an alternate location for beginning character tutorials and rentable stalls. It's isolated, has no treasure spots, and is fairly compact. It's also a different architecture than most of Britannia which might provide a nice change of pace. I would prefer to continue using Haven, but frequent map changes are making that difficult. This would allow me to ditch "Trammel" entirely, though I feel the Bazaar area should be forced No-PVP anyway. Easy enough to do with 'regions in a box'. I've started "watering" Nujel'm, fountains and wells are more common. Hunger and thirst changes will soon go into effect. You will lose hit points, stamina, and mana if you are suffering from starvation or dehydration. Conversely, you will gain a bonus to your chance to gain skill if you eat and drink regularly. Script Update #61: 1:34 AM 5/8/2007 Reduced delay on rejuvination ankhs to 1 hour from 2 hours. They may be used more frequently. Placed a rejuv. ankh outside custom dungeon. Double click on the ankh to refresh something random: health, mana, stamina, or all three if you are very lucky. Added AutoStable/AutoClaim - Pets will be automatically stabled on logout, and if automatically stabled, will be automatically claimed when you log back in. No more running to the stablemaster so your pets don't go wild when you log out. Shrunk pet items now show bonding status. Hotfix for crash bug in chat system. Script Update #60: 9:33 PM 5/7/2007 (Treasure Boxes are the gold boxes found on monsters.) Treasure Box trap power increased, using TrapLevel variable now. Tripping the trap on treasure boxes will hurt a lot more now, but the traps should be easier to remove. (TreasureBox.cs) Added new Treasure Chests, levels 0 through 6. These are constructors for the regular chests, but suitable for spawning in dungeons. All dungeons were already spawned, but the previous version of these was unsuitable for RunUO 2.0 and needed major overhauling to match what I want treasure spawns to be. (Not to mention addition of all the new artifacts and such...) This way the treasure chests draw off the existing chests, so modifications can be made in a single place. (TreasureChestLevel.cs) Adjusted reagent occurance and quantity in Treasure Chests. Reagents now show up in smaller quantities but more variety. The total overall amount of reagents given will either stay the same or be a bit more. (TreasureMapChest.cs) Treasure Chest magic item generator shouldn't suck balls quite so much. (TreasureMapChest.cs) So it's clear, changes to TreasureMapChest affect the following: Treasure Chests found in Camps, Dungeons, Fished up, or Dug up. Script Update #59: 8:59 AM 5/5/2007 Lowered HandlesOnSpeech range for Gambler to 2 from 4. Script Update #58: 2:22 AM 5/5/2007 Updated RunUO to SVN 181, misc updates associated with this. Vesper Casino is (finally) open. Find a Casino Token in your bankbox! The casino token is good for 10 free spins on any slot machine you like. (Hint: use it on the more expensive machines...) The casino is housed in the building formerly marked Counselor Guild. Vesper Casino Map Script Update #57: 9:22 PM 5/3/2007 Modified Ore and Lumber resource bank size. Resource banks now cover a much smaller area. (Lumberjacking.cs, Mining.cs) Modified Random Encounter engine, it will no longer spawn hostile creatures in towns. (RandomEncounters.xml) Healers and Provisioners now fully stock Garlic and Ginseng. Modified material cost for fireworks crafting. (DefFirework.cs) 5:59 PM 5/4/2007 - Check your bank box for a special gift. Server patched to the new release! Please patch your client. Run uopatch.exe or start the client from it's shortcut. Check frequently for patches, with the new release the maps are being worked on. I'll patch the server every Sunday, but client patches will fix map issues for you. Changed the backup system a little. There may be more lag during backups, but they will take less time. NoIOHour is 8am for compression of the RunUO directory, tape backup time is still 9am. Script Update #56: 2:56 AM 5/2/2007 Increased feathers given by harpy when carved to 100 from 50. Adjusted Destard spawns. Added Cold Blood Champion Spawn to Destard. Champion Guide on Stratics Champion Guide on UO.com Champion spawns are not easy... Moved Daily backup to 9am from 8am. Tape backup drives make nice alarm clocks. Script Update #55: 2:50 AM 5/1/2007 Modified Vendors not to decrease max quantities of items when restocking. Vendors with item quantities set to 999 should stay that way. (GenericBuy.cs) Modified Vendors to randomize prices and availability every time they restock. This only applies to items with random prices (reagents, boats, and a few other things) and random availability (spell scrolls). Items with fixed prices and availability will restock normally. Vendors restock once every 15 minutes. (BaseVendor.cs) Increased vendor doubleclick range to match context menu range. You can now double click on vendors to purchase from them from a greater distance. (BaseVendor.cs) Script Update #54: 1:41 AM 4/30/2007 Changed MOTD to only save 9 previous updates. If too many updates are shown, it bogs down the login process. The full Changelog is visible here: Changelog Script Update #53: 4/29/2007 Increased Animal Taming range to 3 from 2. This was done to match the auto-follow range. (alt left click to follow) Modified Player backpack max weight to resolve discrepency between max player carrying capacity and max backpack capacity. By default, containers can hold around 400 stones in weight. Script Update #52: 4/28/2007 Increased character skill cap to 1100.0 from 1000.0 - Testing. Added stat and skill cap changes to PlayerMobile deserialization temporarily. Fixed skill cap in CharacterCreation. Script Update #51: 4/28/2007 Changed subdue percentage from /10 to /5, because, FFS, try and tame a beetle with a 10% subdual HP limit... 1 hit away from death, and the regen timer pushes them back above 10% before the taming attempt finishes... They either die during the taming process or are impossible to tame... This change should make it easier to tame creatures which need to be subdued. Updated BaseCreature Subjugation message, the message is stored seperately from the taming setting. The Solen Hives have been spawned, Solen Infiltrators have been placed in a few locations around Britannia, and all Solen quests are active. See Naturalist and Solen Hive for hints. There are quests available from the Solens as well, those are a little trickier to get. Script Update #50: 4/27/2007 - Hotfix Fixed the glitch where releasing a tamed hostile creature in town would lock up the server. Unfortunately this means Guard Insta-kill is back on. Guards will kill you instantly rather than using the combat system to attack. This is RunUO/OSI default. I don't like it, but we're stuck with it for a little while. Script Update #49: 4/24/2007 Added Necromancer vendor. Added support for BandageSelf and BandageTargeted packets. In the UO Client, in Key Bindings/Macros, add a new key binding for "BandageSelf" - or in Razor, do the same. Vendors are now double-clickable to initiate a purchase, in addition to the usual method of context menu or "vendor buy" Script Update #48: 4/23/2007 Made the 'large wooden tubs' refillable with stew. Increased ginormous bowl of stew's hunger value. Updated the "Eating Tutorial" in the new player starting area. (Need to add the Tutorials to Haven... And possibly Cove as well. Script Update #47: 4/23/2007 Testing slot machines in preparation for setting up the Vesper Casino. Dusted off old b35 BlackJack/Poker player, updated to 2.0, fixed glitches. Tweaked default RunUO gambling stone for appropriate costs and prizes. -- Nevermind, there's nothing I can do to make that one not suck. It's pointless anyway with the better slot machines. Adjusted miner bonus round on Mining Madness slot machine. Changed sound effects on Glass Sword. Added Knives' Chat System - "[c (text)" to chat is the basics. There's all kinds of other features too. Added Courageous' Random Encounter System - The default random encounters are active in Britannia. (Felucca) The default encounters occur in Towns (usually animals) and Dungeons (usually things that want to eat you) - Custom encounters will be added gradually. =) Updated BaseAI with better creature follow speeds. Pets will follow faster when *following*, *guarding*, or told to *come* to your location. They move at normal speeds in combat. Applied PlayerRangeSensitive mod to AI. Mobiles are range-sensitive (they will deactivate and stop using CPU when nobody is close to them) but now that deactivation is controlled by a timer. What this means: No monsters piling up at dungeon entrances if you flee with a crowd chasing you... Ported Fireworks script packages, in testing. Added NPC Marketplace script, in testing. Script Update #46: 4/21/2007 Added a save warning gump. When the game just stops for 10 seconds, every hour or so, it's saving. Now you know why. (There's a warning in the lower left hand corner too. =) Added Sextants and EnchantedSextants to the CheckAccessability list in BaseHouse.cs. Added Spyglasses too. Script Update #45: 4/21/2007 Changed weight of cotton. Before, thread produced by spinning cotton weighed more than the cotton. Fixed. Modified BaseTool to show crafter name. Sextants now show real coordinates too. Enchanted sextants now also work as real sextants, showing coordinates when used along with directions to the nearest bank and moongate. (Enchanted sextants are part of the rewards for the Uzeraan/Haven Young Player quests. There is a gate in Cove to Haven, or visit any moongate to travel there.) Character Creation now drops player starting gold in their bank. Script Update #44: 4/21/2007 Changed the Young status maximum skill limit from 450.0 to 650.0. Young status still ends normally after 40 hours. Removed a temporary mod to PlayerMobile Deserialization. Script Update #43: 4/21/2007 Updated weapon double-click functionality when weapon doubles as a tool. Double-clicking a weapon/tool in your pack will equip it, while double-clicking it while it is equipped will activate the tool part. (ex: Axe, double click on an axe in your pack to equip it, then double click the equipped axe to chop something, such as a tree.) Knives are excluded from this, they will not equip. (butcher knife, cleaver, dagger, skinning knife, throwing dagger.) Script Update #42: 4/21/2007 Fixed bug in how swamps apply poison. Added "You were poisoned" warning. Script Update #41: 4/21/2007 Fixed bug in statcap assignment and bankbox update. Modified PlayerMobile deserialization to compensate. Testing new script: MoongateLibrary Script Update #40: 4/20/2007 All stat orbs created from now on will *not* be movable. You must use them in the dungeon you find them in, as that was the original intent. These are recreations of the "orbs" in U4 & U5 dungeons. Have your bandages, healing potions, spells, and scrolls ready when you use them! =) Script Update #39: 4/20/2007 Weapons, Armor, Shields, and Clothing now double-clickable to equip or remove. Script Update #38: 4/20/2007 Modified weight of lockpicks. Modified healing potions. (The old stats didn't make sense with a base of 300.) Modified healing spells. Same issues, easy fixes. Bandages are fine. :) No change there. Script Update #37: 4/20/2007 Change to the MOTD since it was never showing up... Happy 4/20! :) Script Update #36: 4/19/2007 Updated: Pricing and quantity on Arrows and Bolts on all vendors. Changed how smelting ore works - Each piece of ore is now individually skillchecked, with the potential to gain skill as well as determine a more accurate success/failure rate. (No more losing half a stack of ore if you fail a skillcheck. Also no more individually smelting pieces of ore to avoid this or maximize skillgain - the script now does it for you, basically.) You can still fail your initial skillcheck, in which case you only lose one piece of ore now instead of the entire stack. (This change was implemented before, but with the switch to RunUO 2.0 I have to re-apply any changes to the distro files.) Adjustments to the cost of boats. Randomizer should be a little more kind... Script Update #35: Not long afterwards... More code testing with the auction system. Hopefully the last. Script Update #34: 4/19/2007 Modifications to the Auction system, and testing of a bit of code relating to how it loads the language files. Nothing that would affect the players. Script Update #33: 4/19/2007 Porting Addons... -.- Script Update #32: 4/18/2007 Update to NightSight potion to add NightSight buff icon. (I thought buff icons were broken after my experiment for a while because of that...) Update to Commoner to add a default amount of gold to their pack, plus some extra based on their class. (Thanks Jere for reminding me. =) Lowered Stat Gain delay. Stats will gain faster. Updated Treasure Piles to show "A Lootable Pile of Treasure" when single-clicked, makes it easier to tell that it's something interactive. Porting Cove Graveyard Expansion to Malas, updating the creatures to 2.0... Mostly done but further work still. Testing Journal: Well, my dungeon regions work fine, but the house regions within them override the dungeon light levels. Oops. Hrm. I may have to hack housing regions a bit to check the accesslevel of the owner, and make buildings controlled by a GM or above to be exempt from certain regulations... Script Update #31.1: 4/18/2007 Update to the SkillGateHelper to fix profession for those who use the Advanced Character Setup. Script Update #31: 4/17/2007 Well that idea sucked. SE or ML compatability controls things such as the new guild system and buff icons as well. Makes sense since those features were introduced then, means I have to take the bad with the good until I can prune out the bad manually. Oh well. =) Script Update #30.1: 4/17/2007 Updates to the Reagent Tutorial multi. Other tutorial multis to be updated in anticipation of putting copies of them in Haven. Script Update #30: 4/17/2007 Big one: Disabled SE and ML features. Also disabled item insurance. I really just don't like the "Samurai vs Ninja" thing that SE tried to do. And ML's addition of Elves? Bleah... Ok, I realize Elves were in the earlier Ultimas.. (Age of Darkness, U1-3) But.. what wasn't? Spaceships, laser guns, time travel, and a big evil computer. Don't get me wrong, the earlier Ultimas are pretty awesome games, but this shard is a retelling of The Age of Enlightenment. The beta code names (Mondain, Minax, Exodus) are just code names, the focus will be on the Virtues. (Those code names reference that the shard is in a state before readiness...) Script Update #29.1: 4/17/2007 Modifications to TurboSlots to disable "sorry you didnt win" message spam. (Plus, "didn't"... I mean jeez.) Testing Journal: I also modified TurboSlots so that a buttonpress of 12 on the mining bonus round didn't trigger a cheat detection. Instead it just re-sends the bonus round gump. Buttonpress 12 is the "spin" button on the regular slot gump, so testing w/Razor on the Miner Madness slot was hampered by the cheat detection. Yes, I use Razor. Please grok in fullness the next three words: I have arthritis. That statement negates ANY argument against *reasonable* use of macro programs. Though my intent is to fix the code where possible to reduce the reliance on macros. (Already fixed the "no free hand for potion" thing, you can drink potions without disarming.) Script Update #29: 4/16/2007 Changes to MapMakers - Adjustments to resource costs. Changes to Haven spawns. Script Update #28: 4/16/2007 Gotta make sure not to do updates so late at night. *yawn* Minor updates to existing scripts as well as addition of TurboSlots, On-Site Dueling, and Xanathos' Auction system and Shrink system. Implementation will occur after testing. Script Update #27: 4/15/2007 Update to Sell/Buy: Bankers now sell all regularly-appearing deeds. Vendor-related deeds have identical pricing whereas the price of boats vary on all vendors. Adjusted overall cost of boats, lower for smaller boats, higher for larger boats. Commodity deeds now cost 1 gold, and are available in greater quantities. Minor bugfix on pricing, a few vendors had bottles still at 5 gold, things like that. Corrected the issue. Script Update #26.1: 4/15/2007 Update to 3 vendor stall - randomized each chair hue. ^.^ Looks nice, will have to make more stalls for the Haven Bazaar. Testing Journal: There are now two sizes of vendor stalls: 3 vendor stalls are currently priced at 50 gold a week, and 1 vendor stalls are 10 gold a week. Keep in mind these stalls use the housing system, so only one stall may be rented, and only if you do not have a house already! Vendors may be placed in player housing as normal, these stalls are just extra features. Haven is useless except for the new player tutorial, and doesn't really have a place in the world of Britannia otherwise, so it is being repurposed as a safe trading area and bazaar with market stalls. Update: 1 and 3 vendor stalls have been placed. The 1-vendor stalls are on the small 'complex' bridge near the docks. There is a crate beneath the table for storage and a chair for the vendor. The 3-vendor stalls are near the mage shop in the center of town. There are 3 large crates behind the three vendor chairs, and a large table in front for display items. Script Update #26: 4/15/2007 Minor updates and bugfixes. Testing rental stall addon and modification to code to secure containers rather than locking them down. The addon should be left alone, don't want junk static items of a table cluttering up bankbox... Script Update #25: 4/15/2007 The New Character creation sequence is complete, with the Haven Tutorial quests working. Selected areas on Trammel are spawned for this. BUG: The youthful treasure maps given in Haven as part of the Young Character quests don't seem to show the proper Haven landscape. They show the Felucca landscape of Occlo instead. Updated UO data files on server, will re-test. Modified loot on common monsters. Skeletons no longer drop pieces of bone armor. (Bone armor is constructable by Tailors.) Rats no longer have pockets. Zombies don't drop body parts. (These items should be rare, not common.) TOWNHOUSES! TownHouses re-added to system. Haven will again serve a dual role as a Bazaar, with rentable booths for vendors. Affordable prices! Act now! Testing Journal: Testing the new character sequence showed a very rewarding tutorial process. My initial character setup gives the character a reasonable nest egg to start with (1000 gold) along with a suit of leather armor and items appropriate to their skills. The Uzeraan/Haven quest will give close to 3000 more gold. Following the Youthful Treasure map he gives as one of the rewards has been even more profitable, in the form of 100 mandrake root and 50 nightshade, as well as 2 more treasure maps (and a ton of common reagents) Not so much gold, but a good amount per chest plus loot from the guardian monsters. (Which are nice and politely wait for you to initiate combat, since you're young. =) *more testing* Ok, so I got lucky finding the 2 Youthful Treasure Maps. (They didn't keep flowing like a never-ending river of reagents.) Even the guaranteed one you get gives a pretty reasonable haul of stuph. Though it's mostly reagents, need to remember to modify that a bit, beef them up for everyone. Script Update #24: 4/14/2007 Many many MANY changes with just this update. Lots of internal stuff, but updates to all the character gates, plus the creation of a new system to handle skill items given on character creation. (Items are only given once the player leaves the starting area.) Fixed an issue with the brand-new new character item creation thingy not working right. Changes to poisonous swamps, poison is now applied through the proper methods rather than directly set. This allows the poison attempt to be stopped by, say, young status, or other poison immune effects. Why not block it at the beginning of SwampCheck, like the rest? This way allows Young players to get a warning that they would have been poisoned, (but not spam them to death since it goes through the SwampCheck randomizer) as well as give them a realistic example of the frequency of poisoning. (again, since it goes through the actual code...) Changes to Bowcraft/Fletching: Bowcraft/Fletching now uses the Carpentry skill. There just aren't enough things to make this worthwhile as an individual skill. Items that used the Fletching skill now use Carpentry. (This includes tools and weapons) A change to fountains, every piece is useable, there were some problems before with being able to double click on normal fountains. This wasn't as noticable because magic fountains were more common. Club strength requirement set to 10, from 40. I mean, come on, it's a club. Glassblowers no longer sell Mandrake Root or Nightshade Mushroom. Oops. Neither do Dryads. Prices and quantities of raw resources adjusted. Blank Scrolls = 1 gold, 999 qty. Bottles = 1 gold, 999 qty. Common Reagents = 1-10 gold, 999 qty. (Random) Rare Reagents = NOT SOLD IN STORES! (Rare = Mandrake Root and Nightshade Mushroom) Spell scrolls, 25-50 gold per Circle, lower circle spells more common. 7th Circle Spells extra-expensive. No level 8 spells sold in stores. Arrows, Bolts = 1 gold, 999 qty. Increased stat gain (doubled, actually) for the virtue gump, now +12 for a single-stat virtue, +6 to double-stat virtues, and +4 each to triple-stat virtues. ----------------------------- Older news: (23 and below) Configuration Modifications: Scripts\Misc\ServerList.cs - Changed server Address, Name, Port, Scripts\Misc\Email.cs - Changed SMTP server. Scripts\Misc\MapDefinitions.cs - Changed map rules and added season hint line. Customization Modifications: Scripts\Skills\RemoveTrap.cs - Removed minimum skill requirements. Package Modifications: For XMLSpawner: Scripts\Items\Containers\Container.cs - Modified for STEALABLE Scripts\Skills\Stealing.cs - Modified for STEALABLE I haven't kept good notes. ^.^; Lots of them, just poorly organized. Before this: RunUO 1.0.0, RunUO 1.0RC0, RunUO Beta 36, and a few before that... : Many, many changes, too much to tell. The switch to RunUO 2.0 undid a few changes. About Script numbers: When I do a major update on the server, I rename the old scripts directory to Scripts.Old##, and upload the new scripts directory. Then I move the old one out. I didn't always do this, and the number doesn't particularly mean anything, other than to mark the order. -------------- Summary: This is a good place for a quick summary. Custom map coming soon. You need to eat and drink on a regular basis. Fountains and wells may be found across the land to replenish your water supplies and to drink from. Food grows wild, and game animals may be killed for meat. Type [hunger or [thirst to see your hunger and thirst rating. The Skill Cap is 120 * The total number of Skills. Individual skill caps start at 100, and can be raised normally. Items may be marked by their crafter as long as the item is exceptional. NPCs that sell reagents do not offer Mandrake Root or Nightshade Mushroom, at all. They do offer other reagents, at seemingly random prices. ;) Mandrake Root and Nightshade Mushroom may be found in the wild, in treasure, and on monsters. BTW Nightshade is a mushroom. MUSHROOM! A green mushroom, specifically. If you've played the older Ultima games you can probably picture the exact shade of neon green I chose. =) For technical reasons the nightshade mushrooms share the same itemID as the "Zoogi fungus". If you see nightshade growing wild and it comes up as "zoogi" in any way, shape or form, please ignore the naming error, that's just a glitch. NPCs do not buy items, with one exception: all vendors will buy gems. Bulk-order deeds are obtainable for Blacksmithing and Tailoring, currently. These service contracts request a certain number of goods within the receiving player's means to make, though not always easily. Scrolls for spell circles 1-7 are available in stores. Prices go up with the circle of spell. Higher level spells are harder to find and more expensive. Circle 8 scrolls are found as random loot. Remove Trap: no longer requires a minimum skill of 50 in Lockpicking. There is no Lockpicking minimum skill requirement to remove traps. The skill delay was also lowered. Player vendors now are created with 1000 gold in reserve, as opposed to 4 gold. (The player vendor deed costs 1200+ so this isn't creating gold...) Vendors now charge significantly less per (real world) day. Stealing: Players in the Thieves Guild may steal from other players, but only in Britannia (Felucca map rules) - and ONLY gold, gems, and jewelry may be stolen, and they must be targetted directly. A successful attempt will steal a portion of the gold. Stealing from NPCs works regularly. Young players are immune from theft. Housing: Removed the 10,000 gold "remodeling fee" for custom houses. Lowered the "piece" cost for custom houses. How to Connect to The Retelling: server.the-retelling.org port 2593 using Razor and an updated UO client. Website: http://the-retelling.org
