I've posted this on the official forums, but no response so far. I'm in general curious what you guys here think of this..
What I've seen in several businesses and domains is that things get so divided and splintered, that so much potential synergy is lost and productivity. There are a bunch of UOassistance programs out there, all deemed illegal except UoAssist. UoAssist hasn't been updated in years. I don't know that there is an official page anymore which lists approved programs. Tugsoft links to a dead page: http://uo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/uo.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?&p_faqid=339
I don't know if I'll have the time and will, but I want to look into it. As I said, it would be ideal if an already approved/condoned program could be updated. If not, It'd be nice of the devs could greenlight a new effort. I understand the team is small and resources are limited, which is why it would be great if an approved assistance program could be made or updated to introduce countless desired quality if life improvements.
P.S. On the official forums the devs have said they are working on fixing numerous CC bugs and adding features. For example, though no timeframe can be given, it was said that putting in insta-dress as a feature is on the list. That's great, but realistically this will take a while and not everything may ever be developed. So I still believe there is space for updating UoAssist and/or creating a new assist program.
Ideally, UoAssist would be updated. If anyone has contact with the developer of it...could they contact me? Is there any chance others can help out to update it?Could we get a fresh response on UO assistance programs? UoAssist hasn't been updated in ages and it's the only approved one. I wrote to Tugsoft about helping out to update it, but received no response. I'm considering looking into created a new one. Could this be done working closely with the devs? Would it be fair to say that replicating EC functions for a CC assistance program should automatically be approved? I mean to say, adding any sort of EC functionality to CC is fair game?
