Post: #56

Hello to everybody.

I´m one of these guys too who are trying to replicate 51a into 56b. I was registered in sphereserver.net forums with some activity back in 2009-2010. I tried it a bit sometimes with better results than others and now i have some free time at nights and i script something for fun. Now that i remember sphereserver.net got lost and after a while this one bloomed at these years.

I saw some people from this community in this thread who are following the same way as me, trying to replicate 51a into 56b and asking for 51a source, so i´ll try to help a little bit, just my 2 cents...

I have a shard wich was the work of another person, not my own (runuo 1.0 emu). It was designed by a guy who used to call himself "Makaveli". Makaveli gave this shard to a friend to keep it open (with some tweaks from my friend) and he left uo, before that he scripted one shard with two merge shards too. Well, The intention of makaveli was to put the 51a/48e source code into runuo source, creating an unique runuo core that it emulated 51a style (no cilocs,same crafting menus, same combat mechanics, +1,+3,+5 enhancet weapons and armors, everything..) plus avoiding the exploits and bugs that 48e/51a versions had with the runuo core.
Makaveli built a masterpiece, back in 2006 no one could do it in runuo and he did it. The server was an amazing replica of 48e XUO into runuo even with the same hues files. Everything looked that you were playing in a 51a/48e shard, but highest versions of uo clients and uo versions like AOS or ML stole some feelings that 1.26.4b client and uo reinnasance gave to players (in terms of fast-smooth i think so) but the shard work was incredible. XUO was based in novus opiate, it was opened when novus went down in september of 2001 and closed in 2004 due to TEOT abuse from people, migrating runuo to avoid that. My friend had to shut the shard down due to low population in 2010 or so and gave it to me for if i wanted to keep it alive. I didn´t wanted because sphere launched the 56b version and decided to start from the scratch with sphere for having fun to create mine.

I dont know if all of that is true or i dind´t got it the right way or even remember well, but there was many people from xuo that was involved in sphere so it could be possible and the one who created this runuo had all previous xuo versions even the 48e one.

Is there anyway to go back through the 51a code from this runuo core and copy all the mechanics into 56b core?.Because that would be very helpful. If some mods or devs from the forums wants the core from the shard, to take a look or see what´s going on there i can give it. Greetings.
