I looove coffee...often best when it has been sitting in the pot for a few hours and cooking down.
I'm Oak...former owner/developer/etcetera of Sylvan Dreams (sylvandreams.com).
I used XmlSpawner a lot there and continue to find more uses now that I'm building a new shard. Never did use it for Quests too much since I was always so busy scripting other things but it will be the main engine for the (more or less) quest driven shard I'm working on now.
SD is still alive and kicking quite nicely, I just turned it over to the other Admin since I want to focus on a pseudo-pre-aos type shard and I'd much rather code and play than be an Admin any day.
I want to avoid all the weapons/armor AOS stuff mainly in the new project. Get back to Vanquishing weapons and Invulnerable armor and so on.
Glad to see XmlSpawner finally has a home. It is absolutely the best thing to emerge from the entire Runuo project.
I'm currently bruising my brain by thinking how to use XMLSp to create an "apprentice" skill leveling sort of system. Skills do not raise by using them. Players go to a Guildmaster and get quests based on their current level. They complete them and receive skill points or perhaps xmlpoints that could be used to allow skill point advancement in a gump....no details, still brainstorming the concept.
Nice to see Cefyl here! He's an absolute whiz with uo graphics.
I tend not to go to Runuo.Com much because it gets annoying to read so many rude responses and I'm never politically correct so I don't post anymore.

I'm 51, single, addicted to coding, do web programming for a living....reading, music, hiking, crafts (painting, woodcarving, leatherworking, drawing, etc), some computer gaming are my hobbies.
