  • From a timeframe perspective, I'd liken the classic client to Windows 98.The enhanced client to Windows 7. These systems have large internal differences, you can read about them online. Good luck "porting" everything from Windows 7 to Windows 98.  …
  • Providing a checkbox to opt-in or opt-out of considering the user supplied description text has been suggested -- https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/106104/#Comment_106104 https://forum.uo.com/discussion/13965/vendor-search-item-description-se…
  • Pawain said: So, you care to explain why you want a bone version of an item that's already in an event that has started?   Did you bring this up at test stage?  If so, they denied your request. I'll ask things or post where I want, I do not …

  • Pawain said: Metal Gloves and metal arms.  Keep up,  Why would I want to use Those gloves on my dexxer? Did you mean to reply on some other thread?  This makes no sense.  Nowhere did I mention metal dex items.
  • Pawain said: Attacks in Minoc and Moonglow? U lucky we got a +3LMC  piece this time.  My arms feel sooo heavy. Did you mean to reply on some other thread?  This makes no sense. The gloves are the archlich are an old bone item, the mage a…
  • I just got into this state during an invasion, 128/125 backpack items.  Is this hard capped at 128 on the server side, or is it ~255 ? Both of my hands have items equipped.   No equipment swapping leading up to this. What would happen if I was disa…
  • An issue to be aware of... If your pack gets full while getting artifact drops, they queue up, to be delivered to you once you have space in your pack. Problem can arise when you die and resurrect.  That is, if you resurrect when pack was full, you…
  • Re: 2025, community manager can go thru some of my past posts and comments (link). Re: EC and comments around this:"EC bug fixes... especially the one with lag that you end up running following your cursor." EC has what is probably a feature.  Assum…
  • Grimbeard said: Again my Tamer always runs protection so the fc doesn't matter and no room for resistance so the little gained doesn't matter and did I mention no hoods You sound like Pawain!  Perhaps less punctuation and more run-on thoug…
  • Has broadsword done this ?https://forum.uo.com/discussion/13711/client-binaries-appear-to-be-missing-security-mitigations  Some crashes can happen due to [out of memory] memory leaks/etc.  The EC lua code does appear to have cases where leaks accumu…
  • The archlich robe has resisting spells bonus.  This can be important if you use resist, particularly if you're running protection (which has a large resist spells penalty). Spellweaving doesn't have the same FC cap as magery (mystic, and necro).  Go…
  • Drago said: Lord_Nythrax said: This game is pathetic anymore. Atlantic isn't even THAT populated compared to the average shard in the good old days. $20 says they downgraded the servers since.. The game has been in maintenance mo…
  • Studded, bone, and stone have the same LMC bonus, as long as "Mage armor" is stripped.  The midnight bracers (obviously a necro item) and cuffs of the arch mage are both bone, which can have "Mage armor" stripped. Gargoyle Stone has a slight advant…
  • Good way to gum up these forums loop. See this post, where a small change allows any number of items to be used in the filter.https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/55481/#Comment_55481
  • You can derive the taming + lore skill requirements using the calculator:https://www.uo-cah.com/pet-control-chance?taming=96&lore=96&requirement=96&controlcalc=calculate Note the third value comes from the animal lore page. The threshold…
  • This may seem obvious, but you can combine two approaches to please more of the people more of the time.Have several (say 3) cities active at one.  Pick these based on load balancing across server lines. Each of the active cities has it's own "diff…
  • Here's an update that also notifies when the town invasion is done.  I believe at this point, you no longer get drops, even though there may still be spawn leftover. Code below uses "battlelost" graphic.  see the comment about customizing that. if…
  • skeletal dragons, a "pet" mentioned above, can never be bonded.Even for bonded pets, this should be controllable by the player.  See my other posts regarding adding more controls for pets.
  • @Kyronix In past events, I've noted two things:1. There is hanging/hestitation at or when artifact drops are generated.2. There is the same hanging/hestitation when monsters are teleported to a player. It feels like the UO server is taking a heavy…
  • Just did an experiment on origin shard. Created brand new character, with 0 resists, wearing no armor.Ran around entirety of jhelom (active invasion city) on foot for 5-6 minutes.Thin spawn spread around.Didn't die, didn't (and couldn't) heal or ca…
  • From the town invasions of past, involving generals, spellbooks, etc. Trinsic and Vesper were the cities that resulted in the most "support calls".  e.g. pages to GMs.If the issues with those towns cannot be fixed, please just remove them from the …
  • This also works, a single whisper command:claim ShadowHound1 ShadowHound2 ShadowHound3 ShadowHound4 ShadowHound5 Maybe somebody else knows if there is an "escape" character or way to "quote" the pet names, if the user decided to use a space.  The ag…
  • You can claim pets by name.  I only use a handful of pets, including some select packs of 5.  For the pack of 5 case, just make a 5 part macro, each is a "whisper" (*) command (at least in EC): claim ShadowHound1claim ShadowHound2claim ShadowHound3…
  • Tim said: My thoughts on the hot fix is the issue with the boss isn't his hit points it's the amount of damage he does. On atlantic, it's been lasting 15-25 seconds since day 1.  That's enough time for the boss to get perhaps 10 swings …
  • @Mariah seems like a good topic to add to your EC list. See post here:https://forum.uo.com/discussion/12916/ec-high-resolution-monitor-support-scaling-4k At least for EC, that works well.  I've tried ridiculous scaling numbers, such that text is as…
  • Adding Katakotl ring would be nice too
  • You may be hitting it out of the park with "Treasures of shattered sanctum".  Town Invasions, new pet, and great rewards.  One piece of feedback so far: Deathwarden's greaves:  please provide bone legs (human) and stone legs (gargoyle) option, with…
  • Maybe the developers saw the handy start of a check list posted here:https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/89868/#Comment_89868and referenced here:https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/111760/#Comment_111760  Enhancing items is hardly an earth s…
  • It's an "own goal" if things can't be enhanced, right?
