Ultima Online or Ultima Offline?! - amonvangrell - 01-07-2015 10:34 AM
Hey guys!!! long time huh! hehehe, well every body knows no one can quit UO....
Anyways, I decide to re-start my Shard project. This time I had a little different idea.
Since UO now days seems to be disappearing from internet, and the passion for playing it is still great, I decide that I want to build some kind of a Story-line offline game mode. lol Does it make any sense??
The end project will be a server with a line quest-story were you can download and play alone or with your friends and have fun in it.
The project is quite simple, yet very appealing, at least to me.
There are games like: Neverwinter, Diablo and Sacred that gives
the RPG sensation when playing that I am aiming to create on the Server.
Here what I've though so far.
Code:
[b]Britania Shard[/b]
[i]Single Player Quest Line.[/i]
1 - Introduction.
2 - The First Killing.
3 - Acquire 1000 gold.
4 - Training skills.
5 - Use of : Mining.
Lumber.
Forge.
Alchemy.
Magery.
6 - First Rune Marked.
7 - Animal Taming - The first horse.
8 - Gaining a Level.
Menu / Item / Command
Quest System!
On screen tips.(Every thing very visual)
Tips : In the mine - how to mine for ores. (screen)
Low life - (help screen).
Sound upon quest Acquired/Completion.
No Macro needed.This is still a very young idea that I am developing. Ideas are more than welcome, and any comment is appreciated.
RE: Ultima Online or Ultima Offline?! - JeBu - 01-07-2015 06:42 PM
Its a very good idea. But I would suggest online world where friends can jump to their own storyline.
Do you have some basic idea for story?
RE: Ultima Online or Ultima Offline?! - darksun84 - 01-08-2015 02:23 AM
Yes it's a very nice idea indeed
My suggestions are:
1)There will be no lag issues, I guess, you can super-spawn the world without almost no problems
Having a "living" and well-decorated world will be a nice touch indeed.
2)Make the "offline-shard" very easy to install.
RE: Ultima Online or Ultima Offline?! - amonvangrell - 01-08-2015 08:58 AM
Thanks guys! Yeah I am working on the quests, the first one will probably be the demo quest from uo itself, from there some other personal quests.
RE: Ultima Online or Ultima Offline?! - amonvangrell - 01-13-2015 09:47 AM
New update, I've manage to organize a little my first quest, I decide to use Ultima Online Demo questline to be my first quest.

1 Now double click on the door to open it and then walk through.
2 Lets go find the town bulletin board and see whats going on. Its to the south of here. You might want to open your map to help navigate by pressing Alt-R.
3 The bulletin board is to the X
4 Lets read the board and see whats going on in the area. Double click the bulletin board to read the messages on it.
5 That dragon sounds dangerous. We should seek the aide of the sage in town to see if he can help us out, he is to the XX (east.)
6 There's the sage, ask him about the dragon and see if he can help.
7 That sword is sure to help, lets find the blacksmith, they're to the northwest.(XXX)
8 There's the shopkeeper, say 'shopkeeper' near him to get his attention and you'll be shown his inventory to shop from.
9 Okay, we have the hammer for the sage, lets head to the southeast, back to the sage's home.
10 You need to open your inventory to give the hammer to the sage, open it by pressing Alt-I.
11 There's the hammer in your pack, while very close to the sage click on the hammer and drag it to him, them right click on the inventory window to close it.
12 Well now that we finally have our enchanted sword, let find the ranger to learn how to track the dragon down, he most likely at the library, to the (XX)northwest.
13 The Ranger is to the (Ranger Direction)
14 There is the ranger now ask him to 'teach tracking', and see how much he wants to teach you how to track.
15 You're as ready as you're going to be to take on the dragon, lets head out into the woods!
16 Be careful!
17 I have a feeling the dragon is near, you'd better wield your glass sword. First open your 'paperdoll' by pressing Alt-P now.
18 Unwield anything you're wielding by dragging it from your paperdoll to your pack. Now drag the sword from your inventory to the picture of you in the paperdoll and you will wield it!
19 Time to kill us a dragon. Click on the skills button on your paperdoll, then the arrow next to 'actions'. You should now see the tracking skill in the list if you scroll down with the red ribbon some, click on that, and then select 'creatures'. A box will appear with the monsters nearby in it, click on the dragon in that box. If there isn't a dragon, wander some more and try again.
20 There's the Dragon! Click on the button labeled 'peace' on your paperdoll. This will change you to war mode. Now walk VERY close to the dragon and doubleclick on it to begin combat!
21 Congratulations!! Take the items on the dragon's body and dragging them to your inventory.
22 Well, I have helped you all I can. I hope your adventures are as pleasant as they will be exciting!

1 Greetings again sir. Have you had any luck on your quest?
2 Ahh, a young dragonslayer are you? Well you will need help. Bring me a smith's hammer, and I can make you an enchanted sword to slay the beast with!
3 You should be able to get a smith's hammer from the blacksmith in town for a modest price.
4 Hello again! Have you found a smith's hammer for me yet? I can't make that sword without it!
5 Yes, with this I can make you an enchanter sword to slay the dragon with! All I need now is your longsword... you do have one don't you?
6 Good, now I will make your glass sowrd. Remember you can only use it once, and I can not make another!
7 SYSMESSAGE: The sage chants for a moment, and hits your longsword with the hammer shattering the steel and revealing a blade of glass!
9 That sword does potent damage, but has very limited use.

Check the defnames you declared... they cannot have the same index like, 1 2 3 4 etc because they're global and one will override the other
Try something like this, wisp_1 wisp_2 ... and ranger_1 ranger_2 ...
