My fail fated project
Hello!

I've played UltimaOnline for some time until 2009.
Started a customized shard in POL back days... But a nolstagia is hitting me for the last weeks.

I've working out a idea to start a heavily customized Ultima Online server...

After some digging, and a great post, i've decided to start looking for some information.

The idea is to create a server based on survival.
I know the idea is overused lately. But mostly by action games... I want something slower and more tactical. So why not UO + Sphere?

Anyway, i need some help with information first.

1) World Building:
Back in 2003 there was a good world forge tool. This will be essencial now...
Theres still a good tool around? Is it possible to create a world from scratch?
The world will not be large as original Brit, it will more of a small island, more fitted for the possible low population ( if any ).

2) UO Client and server:
What can i do nowdays with Sphere ?
2.1) 2D or 3D?
2.2) Enhanced Client?
2.3) Weather ( simple rain or snow )?
2.4) Considering the use of IRIS, is it possible?

3) Graphics customization:
Besides HUE, is it possible to add new graphics for houses, items, menus?

4) The skill system:
I will probably change it... a lot. Since the server will be based in resource deprivation i cannot use the classic "craft x things" system.
Will Sphere allow me to change that?

5) Housing system:
Will be something based on "land claiming".
With Sphere i will be able to let the player "own" a portion of land without the need of placing a house?

6) Any tips or opinions?
Common, shot.

Thanks very much for reading.

RE: My fail fated project
1)For the world-building there is CentrED for building and decorations and "land building",y
You can also use mapGenerator for building the map from scratch.
Take in count that is very expensive in terms of time to create a nice world!

2)For the client i suggest to stick to the 2d client.

3)Yes

4)Yes, u can create your custom crafting / gathering system.

5)Yes i think, example: create a multi of n*n size, that contains no tiles but just a sign with the land owner name.

6) Don't give up Tongue and join the chat
