I see there's a StackOff option in the tiledata section and that most items that are already stackable have a number > 0 in there, but the number varies. If I want to make something stackable and it's the StackOff box that does it, what number should I be putting in? Stacked item graphic is made of...

Sweet :> But could you add a keybinding for that? It'd be much faster. And a simple editor would be handy to create a .cfg entry template something like: Item @objtype { Name @name Graphic @graphic Script :pkg:scriptname Newbie 1 Whatever whatever <- some properties that aren't in tiledata Whatever2...

Or maybe allow creation of the entire itemdesc.cfg file with definitions of all the tiledata entries as well. One big itemdesc.cfg with all items from tiledata? That'd be evil :> And it'd mess with itemdescs in packages. But creating files would be nice indeed. A 'select cfg file' option to select ...

I came with idea of a feature that may be very helpful for pol users There could be a button in uofiddler 'Item' menu, that would create a basic itemdesc entry with info from tiledata (name, graphics, movable, weigth etc) for selected item and store it in clipboard, so user can easily paste it into ...

And how someone, who never played Icrontic/Ikrontik/Neverlands will knowif his shard is or is not like Icrontic/Ikrontik/Neverlands?

take a look at scripts/include/NPCBackpacks.inc and see how the storage areas are used there. Storage areas are 1 of the less documented part of pol/escript. So the best approach should be to check existing scripts for it. yup, looking into includes is a good idea, but remember USE YOUR OWN STORAGE...

run this command once for pol to create storage area for your addictional boxes: CreateStorageArea("mystoragearea"); run this once for every player to create his second bankbox var area:=FindStorageArea( "mystoragearea"); CreateRootItemInStorageArea( area, player.serial+"_ba...

Check distro npcdesc handling it's the only reasonable way to do it. includefile: :brainAI:npcUtil function NPC_GetNPCConfig(template) if ( !template.package ) template := NPC_ParseTemplateName(template); endif var npc_cfg := ReadConfigFile(":"+template.package+":npcdesc"); if ( ...

Try if <> work with variables that are no numbers, like strings, errors etc.

Why won't you use pol98? 97 is already outdated.

Is there any way to enumerate root items in strorage area?

Hi!
I'm just checking out UltraEdit with CWOs wordfile
It looks good, but I cannot find one feature I need.
In EditPlus when you typed sendsysmessage and hit space or '(' it converted itself to SendSysMessage
Is it possible in UltraEdit?

Naaah, that's pointless. It wouldnt give PoL any new abilities as UO emulator.
It would be only useful to newbie scripters who have problem with debugging var type problems.
In my opinion implementing hard typing is just waste of time that could be spent on
making a decent escript guide for newbies.

itemdesc.cfg documentation: House (objtype) { {everything Item can have, plus: } MultiID (int multiID number for this house) } So I assumed house can have walkon and control scripts. I've defined a house : House 0x6dfc { Name drewniany dom na palach Graphic 0x5dfc MultiID 0x1dfc ControlScript :housi...

I had the same problem almost a year ago.
I don't exactly remember what was it all about, but it's propably something with account.set_uo_expansion().
Try different settings (not only ML) and see what happends.

assuming "House" type is not an error, nor is it a problem

If those are indeed custom houses (not custom boats for example) everything will work fine, cuz converter just assumed that your custom house is... a house and converted it as a house ;D

I recently noticed that someone is tryilng to spam my server with frequent login attempts it looks like this: Client connected from 83.25.13.74 (14 connections) Client disconnected from 83.25.13.74 (13 connections) Client disconnected from 83.25.13.74 (12 connections) Client connected from 83.25.13....

You dont need to write doubleclick on item - it's allredy done by PoL and every item has it
All you need is to determine whitch script should be started after 2click
You can do it in by adding line I wrote below in braziers itemdesc.cfg

Script :packagename:your_script_name

function Msg(who, message, font := _DEFAULT_TEXT_FONT, color := _DEFAULT_TEXT_COLOR) SendSysMessage(who, message, font, color); endfunction There you go. Now all you need to do is include that with all of your scripts and you can use it as much as you want. That's exactly what I had in mind while s...

Now I think SysMsg() is also too long.
It should be Msg()

One of most used commands - sendsysmessage() is a pain in the ass to type in.
Any chance of adding a shorter version? For example SysMsg()

(I know I can make an include file with this, but it'd made my scripts messy in a way I don't like)

well, maybe it's my poor english skill, but "returns: error/int" and "if exists, returns count of matching key" made me think, that method returns integer only if key exists and error if it doesnt exist.

http://docs.polserver.com/pol097/objref.php#Dictionary
states that dictionary.exists(key) returns: error/int if exists, returns count of matching key

it's not true - this method returns boolean: 1 if key exists 0 if not.
