Orion Alternative
Orion Alternative
OK I need some advice. I have been using Orion and I really like it but I am having trouble with the Blue Belt quest not working with Orion. So, I want to get input on an alternative. This is what I lie about Orion. What can I use to replace it
1) I am not comfortable writing scripts and Orion helps me with that with their macro conversion to script feature
2) I enlarge the game play screen so I can see more gaming area. I REALLY like that!
3) Very smooth frame rates
4) My mouse does not flicker
All of this may seem superficial but it's why I like it. Any alternative suggestions?

Re: Orion Alternative
What part of the quest are you having a problem with?
I see you posted another post about this. Follow the instructions and it should be fixed.

The fix in the other post did the trick. I was running version 1 not 12!! it prevented me from entering the building to kill the Evil Trolls. I wonder what other things I was missing with the wrong version.
I'm still interested in hearing other people's opinion on Orion and alternatives. If there is something better out there, I'd like to know.

Re: Orion Alternative
Orion is better than the classic UO client. It's not enough better to be worth rewriting my Razor and OpenEUO scripts but if I didn't have that encumbrance I'd switch to it immediately.

Re: Orion Alternative
Glad you were able to find the solution.
I like it for all the reasons you stated as well and the amount of stuff you can do (more things then I can even remember at this point) Plus the amount of available options it has compared to normal UO client.
Scripting isn't so bad. I just looked at what the macro gave me, used information on the discord server and what others posted on github and was able to make a large number of scripts that work for me (maybe not others, but i don't code for others, just me)
When I use to play before I used razor and Easy. When I cam back I tried Orion and found it does the job of both

Since I have no idea how to write scripts, I'm not in that boat.

If you have a good healing script that you would be willing to share, I would love to have it.davethemage wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 11:53 amScripting isn't so bad.

Re: Orion Alternative
This is what I use. Just need to have a stock of bandages. I have 220+dex and haven't died using it yet.
also you can do a search on [Orion] in the published scripts section of the forum for other scripts.
function Auto_Heal_Bandages()
{
var Timer, Msg = "You put the bloody bandage|failed";
while (!Player.Dead() && Orion.Count("bandage"))
{
if (Player.Hits() < 175)//Player.MaxHits() - 1) //change this if you want to heal at a different HP level.
{
Orion.ClearJournal(Msg);
Orion.BandageSelf();
Timer = Orion.Now() + 4000;
while (!Orion.InJournal(Msg) && Orion.Now() < Timer)
{
Orion.Wait(4000);
}
}
else
{
Orion.Wait(4000);
}
}
}
