I could come up with some other interesting names based on those initials, too; but I'm thinking I might not be well-liked if I do!

I've downloaded the files you made available elsewhere, and I must say there is some very interesting stuff. I know you've not been involved with TSSE for a while, but it's clear they had someone at the scripting helm who was quite willing to break out of the mold, and do some very interesting things!

It may be a little offtop, but at last I can log in and say it.
I saw a lot of your.. 'creation', and there is nothing more to say then:
respect!
And thank You, cuz i've learnt so much, since i've been analysing Your code.
And the 096 distro.. #1.

But, :AI:TreasureMaker.. what is this NPC for? I know what it does, but why like that?

Sorry if I made any mistakes.

A lot of people keep asking me "On a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to update these scripts to 096"

Well, if you just have 1 map, you don't have to do a whole lot. Off hand, I don't know specifically what needs to be changed. I don't have all some 600 scripts memorized

First.. compile them with the 096 compiler, and see what errors you get.
Fix accordingly.

Second update uo.em calls to properly support the realm parameter.

Third change any MoveItemToLocation(), MoveCharacterToLocation() calls to the new MoveObjectToLocation() function.

Fourth and the hardest. Its not required but will make the shard run better
Update to the new gumps system in the 096 distro. The old system used two global arrays, the new system is a lot nicer and more object oriented.

Fifth is to update to brain 5 (Krang). TSSE uses the old brain 4 system.

After that uhh really don't know! Its like 3 years old.



The smartest approach if you wanted to use this is to setup Tortoise SVN on your computer, get the 096 distro and then plug TSSE into it where it has parts you want to use.

Yeap! All the coding I do now is for the 096 distro.
Currently working on the documentation for the gumps stuff.

Check the sticky post on that board for how to set yourself up with tortoise SVN and get the 096 distro (its pretty spiffy but has a ways to go)

I know that these scripts arent really supported.. but I was wondering how you get the Race/Class selection to pop-up. Does anyone have an idea? thanks for reading

[Havoc]

Thanks, I appreciate it!
Ecompile is being kinda.. crazy.
It just skips over some of the scripts.. any tips?

[Mithril]

Make sure your pol folder is as close to the root of your drive as you can get it. If the path is too long, ecompile will not be able to compile the script.

Also make sure you list all of your pkg folders and such in your ecompile.cfg or it will miss them as well.

Forgive my neophyte ways; I searched the forum and I have resorted to asking my question here.

I tried to compile these scripts, and most of them compile fine with two exceptions:

1. This is common:

I know this isn't supported or anything, but can someone help me get it working? and I am not sure but isn't there a certain client you should use? if so, which version? ( I am wanting to look at how the shard runs and I am not very familiar with 095)

[Havoc]

Which script are you trying to compile when it gives you the errors?
If you can post your ecompile log, I can lend a hand.
