Re: Mining
Best way to macro mining.
===================
The other guys are on the right track, except you want to make it completely automated.
First thing about complete automation, this is illegal if you are, (as quoted by tessa under the rules) "unattended".
Best way get around tessas rule and compeltely automate is to use 2 computer screens. This way you can have complete automation on one screen while surf the internet or play on the other.
If you cant have 2 computer screens then you will just have to make do with watching TV, or doing whatever. while you are macroing. What i used to do before i had 2 screens was switch to max res and use half the sceen for the game and half for whatever else, that still works.
Now how do i AUTOMATE macro?
========
Well, its a complicated macro sequence. You CAN do it at minoc, but the best way to do it is own a mining house.
I'm going to start with how you would do it at a mining house then move on to how you would do it at minoc.
Automated mining using your own house.
========
STEP ONE.
view the picture at th ebottom.
Firstly, your minign hosue needs to be an empty custom plot next to a mountain. Put a secure chest on the plot so you can reach it while you are mining. Your plot should look something like the first attachment i made. With the chest nearish to the mountain. You want as much mountain as possible in a straightish line hwen you buy a house. The more mountain tiles you have near the house the more its worth. Also the type adds value, with shadow being worth one of the most due to the price of shadow stones, gold/verite/agapite/valorite also worth a bit.
STEP TWO.
Start with a basic macro Walking up and down next to your mountain in a loop. Remember to make it go change direction twice, because when you change direction it isnt couted as walking. It should look something like this
Walk North
Walk North
Walk North
Walk South
Walk South
Walk South
Walk South
Walk North
As you can see, it walked one direction 3 times, turned around, walked the other direction 3 times, turned around. Just keep the turning around in mind.
STEP TWO.
Now, between each walk you want to mine a tile. Make it attempt to mine like 5 times at each tile, But before each mine attempt you want one IF "no metal" -do nothing -ELSE mine END IF. That way it wont aste time trying to mine once no metal is left. After mining 5 times it walks and tries again.
It should be like
For(5)
IF systemmessage=("no metal") THEN
ELSE
Double click (shovel)
pause .50sec
TargetAbsolutetarget("XXX")
pause .50sec
END IF
END FOR
The for repeats something 5 times so the macro doesnt have to write it 5 times, makes your code smaller and easier to read.
STEP THREE
You now have an automatic miner, the problem is that you wll get overweight and then your stuck, cant move and it will stop running. Here you want to make it go return the metal to your chest for EVERY tile it mines.
Yes, I realise it wont always be full of metal and might waste time, but even if its a little bit slower.... its automatic, its still good.
So dropping off the metal is grab item by type and drag to chest. Remember if your mining rock its going to be a bit harder. I suggest you have a second account next to the first chest that is constantly running and is organsing the rocks into like 10 other chests, that way instead of the script mining 125 and then stopping, it can mine like 1250 rocks before it gets stuck.
STEP FOUR
Tinker with it and get awesome. Technically, you could use a COUNTER, or WEIGHT check, after each mine, so that it actually checks if your full before returning the goods this way the scirpt runs really fast.
For(5)
IF weight=("275") THEN
Walk North
Walk North
Drag type(ingots)
Drop Relative location
Walk south
Walk South
Walk South
END IF
IF systemmessage=("no metal") THEN
ELSE
Double click (shovel)
pause .50sec
TargetAbsolutetarget("XXX")
pause .50sec
END IF
END FOR
This is complicated and i simplified the code, you should get the idea though.
STEP FIVE
Dont fall asleep while this is running or you could get jailed/banned. And laugh at the first admin that thinks your a easyuo user when really your just awesome at RAZOR. Make sure you take screenshots of your macor sFIRST and have everything ready for whent he admins try and acuse you of macoring so you can provide evidence it was legit. If you wait till long after getting jailed to protest they wont believe your are legit.
NOTE*** Dont be a idiot and use an illegal third party program then claim you were using this, it looks compltely different to them and they can tell.
Automated mining using your own CAVE
========
Refer to the picture. Basically what i did here was like 10 trip to the house (the picture shows 6 but there was more). And it would walk, collect ingots then return to the house every so often. The main thing is it doesnt try and do the whole lot and return, it progesses bit by bit returning to the house, once it finishes the last bit it starts again (and because razor is slow the ingots have returned by now).
THis is a completely awesome way to mine and i ran this LEGALLY for ages until i got bored of it and sold this plot.
Automated mining using MINOC
========
Same principle works in minoc using the bank, its slower, you can get pkd, its not recommended but works, i made this in my first month back to UO back in APRIL08 before i bought a mining house and build a script for there.
Why am i telling everybody this.
========
I dont play UO much i wanted to see the reaction. Am i a dirty cheat or a skillful operator?
