Skull script shop sell, the signature does not buy

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:15:52 +0200

Can anyone help me with the Skull shop sell script? (link[/code]link) Basically, even after replacing new_buy and new_sell and adding PACKET159=f_packet_0x9f to sphere.ini, when I go to buy something, the list opens, but when I go to sign the purchase, nothing happens and it freezes.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Question about bonuses

Wed, 15 May 2024 16:58:09 +0200

Good afternoon community,
I wanted to inquire about the Sphere Server X modifiers(bonus and/or how interact with differents skills, aspects, etc.), specifically how the default bonuses are calculated on the server using the "SphereCustom -0 option-" combat system, etc. For instance: STR bonus at 0.5%, lumber contributes 20% to weapon x, arms lore, etc.
And the same for crafting.

I have searched the wiki without success, thanks for the help.

Regards,
Dae

Noob returning - spawning a default world?

I'm looking at trying Sphere again but, it's been years...

Once you get the server up and running, how do you spawn a vanilla world?

Account creation and RESDISP

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 22:57:39 +0100

Hello everyone! it has been many years!

I have recently started a new shard, and have run into a weird little thing...

When and account is created for the first time the RESDISP is automatically set to 1.
After logging out and back in, they are then set to the RESDISP of their current UO version (Normally 9).

So before they can create an elf or gargoyle character. they have to create a human Mage or warrior, because they apparently don't have the expansion for the rest. they can then log out and back in and create the other classes

I have AUTORESDISP set to 1 in sphere.ini and all expansions activated.

I have tried many different ways to go about fixing this and well... I'm stuck

Any help on this is really appreciated.

Thank you!

Spawner bug

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 22:48:21 +0200

Hi there,
I've found bug with default spawns. If u try manually negate the spawn then some creatures stay in world. Spawner goes again for its amount from 0, so in the end it will spawn more monsters this its amount.
As u can see on the screenshots in attachments I marked spawned creatures in order. After Dclick it let always every second creature alive, but the spawner shows 0 creatures alive.

NPC Caster AI

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 00:30:41 +0200

Hi,

trying to do NPC AI of casters (similar to older spheres) I want to my caster to :
1) always run from his target
2) still casting on close range.

Case 2 is more urgent for me ... I dont know how to do that the caster can start cast spells even on meele range versus his target. Now if his target come too close, he starts fighting only as meeler.
In best variant should be on close range combined like sometimes hits, sometimes starts to cast.

In case 1 i´ve find out that i can simulate running through trigger @npcActFollow, but if u have any better ideas, id like to hear them.

[events e_caster]
on=@NpcActFollow
argn2=3
argn3=1

Thanks

Archery delay after start

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 17:57:55 +0200

Hi,

any ideas how to make delay in skill archery after attack started? It has some hardcoded pre-hit which instantly go to @hitTry. Tried timerd, but it works only for other fighting skills.

on=@attack
tag.firstAttack=1

on=@skillStart
if (==31) //archery
if ()
timerd= // not working
tag.firstattack=""
endif
endif

on=@hitTry
argn1=>
return 0

Thanks a lot!

Hello again Ultima Friends

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 10:06:36 +0200

Hello everyone, it's a long time since I don't touch or even more time I don't talk to these forums.

First things first, I'm a long-time SphereCommunity member, I joined at the end of 2012 (10 years ago), and in those years, I've owned a sphere shard here in Brazil (Dragon Shard) for a few years, I've helped a lot of members here at the forums and also in other communities, like Ultima Online Brazil at Facebook which I'm an administrator.

Last week a friend asked me to help'em to solve a compatibility issue at an old project of mine called UltimaPHP (UltimaPHP), so after years without opening my old good friend client.exe... I decided to get back on it in my free time.
Don't ask me why PHP... I just like it and I wanted to learn about server development/game packet communication.

So I fixed the issues my friend asked me and many more things I found out (last PR at the repo) but after that, I started to look at old issues I had and I could not solve.

That's why I'm here. I'm trying to find someone to talk about it at least to try to discover what to do.. so in case you have been playing with the last online server core development, maybe you be able to share this knowledge so we don't lose it!

Problem 1 - Socket Encryption
I've already started in the past to work on it, but I took a punch on the face after the first connection packet... when I get the client version + client random seed to calculate the crypt hash... the packets start to break.

The unencrypted client works like a charm, but it would be awesome to have the server work with encryption too.

I think it's due to some weirdness of PHP "casting", but I may be missing something.

Do someone knows deeply how it works? or worked on some project that had to do it? like any assistant? any encryption removal tool? this knowledge would be hight appreciated.

Problem 2 - Calculating the Z position of objects/mobiles
This issue happens when 2 clients connect and walk or I try to send the mobile AI to walk on uneven ground.

The char should be at 1351,1461,17 (as I can detect client-side using UOAssist/Razor) but when I seek the muls/uop files to get the terrain Z position (as it doesn't' t have static items on it) to sync other clients with the player new position the map file contains 1351,1461,14 (Z-3 from the correct position).

Code:

{

    'type': 'land',

    'flags': 0,

    'unknown': 0,

    'texture': 3,

    'name': 'grass',

    'tile': 3,

    'position': {

        'x': 1351

        'y': 1461

        'z': 14

    }

}

I assume it's due to the uneven ground, but I'm not certain. Did someone know how to calculate this ground distortion?

Thanks for all these 10 years.
