Wilson
ServUO Scripter & System Builder
Creating tools and systems for the Ultima Online community since 2003
About Me
Welcome to Black Box Programming! I'm Wilson, a passionate scripter and system builder for ServUO, with over two decades of experience in the Ultima Online emulation community. My journey began in 1998 when I first discovered Ultima Online, and it has been an incredible adventure ever since.
I create custom scripts, innovative systems, and development tools for the ServUO community. With over 60+ published resources on ServUO.dev and thousands of downloads, I specialize in everything from AI-powered NPCs to advanced spawn management systems. Each project is crafted with attention to detail and a passion for helping others bring their server visions to life.
Beyond coding, I'm dedicated to sharing knowledge through video tutorials, comprehensive documentation, and active community support. Whether you're a seasoned scripter or just beginning your ServUO journey, I'm here to help you learn and grow.
My Journey in the UO Community
1998 - Discovered Ultima Online
Started playing Ultima Online and fell in love with the game's depth, community, and endless possibilities.
2003 - RunUO & First Scripts
Discovered RunUO emulator and wrote my first scripts - re-hued dragons with custom names as GoldDraco13. This ignited my passion for scripting!
2013 - Birth of ServUO
When RunUO started being abandoned, hardcore community members (led by Vorspire) launched ServUO. I was there from day one as a founding community member!
Identity Evolution
Evolved through the years: GoldDraco13 ? GD13 ? Kita ? Wilson. Each name representing a new chapter in my development journey.
2013-Present - Creating & Teaching
Over a decade of creating scripts, systems, and tools for the ServUO community. Dedicated to teaching others and learning alongside them.
Major Projects
Developed flagship tools like UO OpenAI, UO Gump Editor, UORespawn, and UO Black Box - resources that have become community staples.
YouTube & Beyond
Launched Black Box Programming YouTube channel. Providing tutorials, showcases, and development tips. The journey continues with 60+ resources and growing!

User-First Design

Open Source Spirit
I believe in giving back to the community. All my projects are freely available, with source code and extensive documentation to help others learn and build upon my work.
Continuous Improvement
Technology and community needs evolve, and so should our tools. I actively maintain and update my projects based on feedback and new possibilities.
