I'd love to help with the XML Spawner Developers stuff. Can't say I've got experience but I'm sure I can help !
XML Spawner Developers - This sounds like fun, but I don't have experience with the XML Spawner package or if I can learn enough to be helpful
I was fooling around a bit with the XML spawners the other day,but I am not highly experienced... either way I do have experience in abusin err helping players as well as making quests and would be willing to assist.
I did XML spawners on a pre-t2a shard a while ago, they were good fun... it's surprising how much you could actually do with them, far more than you'd think with just spawners. They also didn't require you to compile the code every time you made a change which made them really easy to use and try out. I just wish I had the time to play, let alone develop!
We will be posting a large repository of XML spawner development tools and opening up a XML development server to allow interested players to collaborate and develop small quests that can be reviewed and then implemented on the live server. This should be up and ready by the weekend given the amount of interest in this project.
If you need any more help with the XML spawner I have used the system before and understand how it works. But seeing this is a month later I am probably too late, but want to still offer my help.
Not to late, we are still developing the program and setting up our development server. http://uorforum.com/forums/xmlspawner-development.68/ I've also setup a special forum for XMl Spawner guides, documentation and quest development since the interest has been so great.
Nice, i like thie idea btw to alow players/guilds some limited access to spawners to create there own events. I am also interested in: Compendium Content Development We are looking for players who are interested in helping us develop the compendium into a resource that will replace the players needs to ever go to stratics or uo guide for information.
Man, how I'd love to build the prison map/quest/etc I had in store when I was an Event Moderator for UO. I'm afraid it's a big ass bite to chew though, I don't know squat with XML.
I'll take an irc mod position ;p I think everyone here can agree I'm a fair, non-biased, non-confrontational mediator. I also, have an impressive track record for never stepping outside the boundaries both in and out of the game.
If you need someone to develop the white leather hue for Pure White Wyrms to drop, and the tailoring behind the white leather... I am the man for it!
The XML development server is now up and running for anyone interested in taking part in that project. http://uorforum.com/threads/how-to-access-the-xmlspawner-development-server.5527/ Anyone who has contacted me with an interest in the counselor program will be contacted after I get patch 54 applied on Monday.
