EC Add center notifications for luck ending and potion of glorious fortune ending

If you, like me, want a more obvious notification of the ending of your hour of luck from a statue or the ending of the hour of glorious fortune than the disappearing of the buff icons, I have a solution for you.

I have created the following two center notifications:


To use them
Download the following two DDS files from my github repository
https://github.com/TimStotelmeyer/Ultima-Online/blob/main/cst_YourLuckJustEnded.dds
https://github.com/TimStotelmeyer/Ultima-Online/blob/main/cst_GloriousFortuneJustEnded.dds
and put them in your "Textures\My Textures" directory

Add the following lines to the file Textures\Textures.xml at the bottom of the Assets section
		<Texture name="CST_YouAreFree" file="Textures/cst_YouFree.dds"/>
<!-- start of added entries -->
		<Texture name="CST_YOURLUCKJUSTENDED" file="Textures/My Textures/cst_YourLuckJustEnded.dds"/>
		<Texture name="CST_GLORIOUSFORTUNEJUSTENDED" file="Textures/My Textures/cst_GloriousFortuneJustEnded.dds"/>
<!-- end of added entries-->		
	</Assets>

Add the following code to the function CenterScreenText.SendCenterScreenTexture in the file sources\CenterScreenText.lua
--start of added code	
	if ( message == "yourluckjustended" ) then
		DynamicImageSetTexture( "CenterScreenTextImage", "CST_YOURLUCKJUSTENDED", 0, 0 )
		DynamicImageSetTextureDimensions( "CenterScreenTextImage", 640, 80 )
		WindowSetDimensions("CenterScreenTextImage", 640, 80 )
		WindowStopAlphaAnimation("CenterScreenTextImage")
		WindowSetAlpha("CenterScreenTextImage", 0)
		WindowStartAlphaAnimation("CenterScreenTextImage", Window.AnimationType.LOOP, 0.5, 1, 1, false, 0, 3)
		local sid = 1065
		PlaySound(1, sid, WindowData.PlayerLocation.x,WindowData.PlayerLocation.y,WindowData.PlayerLocation.z)
		CenterScreenText.LOWHPMEStarted = false
		CenterScreenText.LOWHPPetStarted = false
	end

	if ( message == "gloriousfortunejustended" ) then
		DynamicImageSetTexture( "CenterScreenTextImage", "CST_GLORIOUSFORTUNEJUSTENDED", 0, 0 )
		DynamicImageSetTextureDimensions( "CenterScreenTextImage", 640, 80 )
		WindowSetDimensions("CenterScreenTextImage", 640, 80 )
		WindowStopAlphaAnimation("CenterScreenTextImage")
		WindowSetAlpha("CenterScreenTextImage", 0)
		WindowStartAlphaAnimation("CenterScreenTextImage", Window.AnimationType.LOOP, 0.5, 1, 1, false, 0, 3)
		local sid = 62
		PlaySound(1, sid, WindowData.PlayerLocation.x,WindowData.PlayerLocation.y,WindowData.PlayerLocation.z)
		CenterScreenText.LOWHPMEStarted = false
		CenterScreenText.LOWHPPetStarted = false
	end

--end of added coded

Add the following code to the function BuffDebuff.Update in the file source\BuffDebuffWindow.lua
			else
				BuffDebuff.Timers[key] = 0
				BuffDebuff.HandleBuffRemoved(key)
--start of added code
				if( key == 1187 ) then --glorious fortune potion
					CenterScreenText.SendCenterScreenTexture("gloriousfortunejustended")
				end
--end of added code				
			end

Add the following code to the function TextParsing.CenterScreenText in the file source\TextParsing.lua
--start of added code
	if ( SystemData.TextID == 1079552) then  -- Your luck just ended 
		CenterScreenText.SendCenterScreenTexture("yourluckjustended")
	end
--end of added code

    Why can't we get these and all the other great fixes added in so we don't have to risk messing up something doing it ourselves?

    lol that is the question of the  decade. players know more about fixing bugs in UO then the people payed to fix the bugs in UO. unless they have players coding and working on NL there is no hope for it.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
