Methods
Prototype Returns Desc
addcharacter(index) nothing/error If Index is 0 (.AddCharacter(0)), it will find the next available slot on the account. (Otherwise pass 1-5) Will create a naked, uncolored, male character named 'new character' at 1, 1, 1 on Britannia. No scripts are ran for this method of character creation. Edit this new character via the script creating it.
ban() true bans the account
checkpassword(string pass) boolean/error returns true if 'pass' is the account's password
delete() true/error Delete this empty account.
deletecharacter(integer slot) true/error Deletes character in slot 'slot'. returns error if not character in that slot (1..5)

It's possible to hook 0xB9 but don't forget to set_uo_expansion anyway because core uses this for internal flags (e.g. AoS Tooltips). The servspecopt.cfg UOFeatureEnable is used with packet 0xA9 and is currently global to all clients. Recognized values: KR, ML, SE, AOS, LBR, T2A (default).
setdefaultcmdlevel(integer number) true/error Set the account's default command level.
setname(string newname, string newpass) true/error sets the account name to newname, newpass optional

SetInt16(int offset, int value) true/error Sets an 16-bit (2-byte) value at offset (0-based). If offset is greater than current size, the packet is resized to fit the new data and the encoded size is updated for variable length packets. Resizing is not allowed for fixed-length packets. Automatically converts to Big-Endian.
SetInt16Flipped(int offset, int value) true/error Sets an 16-bit (2-byte) value at offset (0-based). If offset is greater than current size, the packet is resized to fit the new data and the encoded size is updated for variable length packets. Resizing is not allowed for fixed-length packets.

SetInt8(int offset, int value) true/error Sets an 8-bit (1-byte) value at offset (0-based). If offset is greater than current size, the packet is resized to fit the new data and the encoded size is updated for variable length packets. Resizing is not allowed for fixed-length packets.
SetSize(int newsize) integer/error Sets the new size of the packet, possibly destroying data if packet size was decreased. Updates the encoded size for variable length packets, not allowed for fixed-length packets. Returns the old size of the packet.
SetString(int offset, string string, int nullterminate) true/error Sets a string value at offset (0-based). If offset plus length of string is greater than current size, the packet is resized to fit the new data and the encoded size is updated for variable length packets. Resizing is not allowed for fixed-length packets. Set nullterminate to 1 if you want to automatically append a 0 terminator.
SetUnicodeString(int offset, array unicode character, int nullterminate) true/error Sets a unicode string at offset (0-based). If offset plus length of string (2*number of members in the array) is greater than current size, the packet is resized to fit the new data and the encoded size is updated for variable length packets. Resizing is not allowed for fixed-length packets. Set nullterminate to 1 if you want to automatically append a double 0 terminator. Unicode strings in eScript are arrays of 2-byte values. See unicode.em for useful functions. CAscZ in basic.em is useful for character sets that use the ascii/ansi standard.
SetUnicodeStringFlipped(int offset, array unicode character, int nullterminate) true/error Sets a unicode string at offset (0-based). If offset plus length of string (2*number of members in the array) is greater than current size, the packet is resized to fit the new data and the encoded size is updated for variable length packets. Resizing is not allowed for fixed-length packets. Set nullterminate to 1 if you want to automatically append a double 0 terminator. Unicode strings in eScript are arrays of 2-byte values. See unicode.em for useful functions. CAscZ in basic.em is useful for character sets that use the ascii/ansi standard. With Flipped Byte Order (for specific packet support)

String
Explanation
An ordered collection of ascii (1-byte) characters. Declare with var s := "my string"
Methods
Prototype Returns Desc
+ string string concatenates the strings, returns the new string.
[start,length] string 'Substring': returns a new string from the character range between start and length, inclusive. Returns error if index out of range. Ex: var str := "yomama"; str[2,3] would return "oma".
[substr] string/uninit seaches the string for 'substr'. If found, returns the first character of the substring, else uninitialized object.
[substr] := replace_str string finds the first occurance of 'substr' and replaces substr with 'replace_str'. returns the new string.
