Introduction
UltimaLive Lumber Harvesting is a graphics based harvest system. It allows players to actually chop down trees and cut them into pieces. Tree locations are saved and re-spawned according to a minimum time interval set by shard owners.

This system uses statics and map data that is already in the Server's memory - it does not create a new tree object for each tree on a map. Changes are written directly to the map via the UltimaLive system, which means it has a very low memory overhead. Only tree locations that have been cut down are saved off to disk during a world save.

Features

Destructible trees
Two sapling phases per tree type
Resources and bonus resources can be given out by graphic ID or during a phase change (when a tree is chopped from a standing position to a fallen position). This allows random wood types for each tree or specific wood types based on tree type.
Trees are regrown in the same place with the same graphics.
Only changed trees are saved off to disk during a world save, when they grow back they are no longer saved. This results in a small file for saving tree locations.
Low memory overhead
One tree object for each tree phase, not for each of the millions of trees on a map

Coming Soon

Racial Bonuses
Collision detection

Limitations

There is currently no region control included in this project.
There is currently no collision detection included in this project
There is currently no way for players to remove stumps

Installation

Unzip the archive into your UltimaLive folder.
Modify Base Axe, and Polearm
(optional) Install Custom Graphics

In both BaseAxe.cs and BasePoleArm.cs, find the HarvestSystem Property:

Code:

public virtual HarvestSystem HarvestSystem
{
  get
  {
    return Lumberjacking.System;
  }
}

Change it to use UltimaLiveLumberJacking.System

Code:

public virtual HarvestSystem HarvestSystem
{
  get
  {
    return UltimaLiveLumberjacking.System;
  }
}

To change the delay between tree regrowth, modify the following line in LumberHarvest.cs

Code:

public static TimeSpan TimeBetweenRegrowth = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);

If you are using custom graphics, you will need to uncomment the following line at the top of HarvestableTrees.cs:

Code:

//#define CUSTOM_TREE_GRAPHICS

Changelog
v.0.42
Fixed an issue that was causing a crash on save due to invalid map

v.0.41
Fixed an issue that prevented wood from being distributed
Fixed an issue that caused the server to crash when harvesting
Fixed an issue that caused the server to crash when saving/loading

v.0.40
Implemented the configurable regrow rate. Setting TimeBetweenRegrowth in LumberHarvest.cs now has an effect, which is the minimum time that the system will wait before it regrows trees on a world save.

Added support for Stock Graphics. The system uses stock graphics by default. To enable custom graphics, uncomment #define
CUSTOM_TREE_GRAPHICS in HarvestableTrees.cs

v.0.31
Fixed Namespaces

v.0.30
Initial Release
