Hello, dear all.

Today I want to introduce my tool, that I've been developing for some time. I called it UOExt ( http://code.google.com/p/uo-ext/ ).

This is Plugin-based system, that allow you to hack into client, get it protocol, modify it and/or do anything you want to with it. Unlike other programs that allow player to script it, this system allow to extend client functionallity for Shard developers. With it you can do awful things. In-game MapAndStatic patching (simillar to praxiiz's In Game Map Editor), mul checkAndUpdate, bring some logic to client, modify event loop, visual and audio stuff, etc...

Right now, there is near to 1st beta status, so sorry for lack of info in the google code site. Everything is changing rapidly.

Would you possibly be able to modify say the housing area? Let me explain, a while back I edited the muls to add in a 40x40 house which worked perfectly I then scripted it in and made it place-able with a deed which also worked perfectly you could access the house sign etc, however I also wanted the house to be customize-able which unfortunately didn't work.. when trying to customize the house the client would crash.. As far as I could tell after looking into it and asking around the client can't customize any houses larger than 18x18..

Finally I've got it to 0.1.0-RC1...

<whisper>Documentation!</whisper>

Right now I need some help in translating wiki to english (Google translate and your common scense must be more than needed). So, if any one want to help... mail me or find me in skype (ruwarstone).

RC2 is on the test stage...
