Now when I open a corpse it takes a second and I see the items "sort"... after opening, if that makes sense.
it works as intended... the sort must start later since the item properties must been loaded first without stucking the client...

Today I've changed the patcher news system, the new one offers the most useful link like Guides and Bug Report, so you can easily find them without search around the forum :p

This system will also remove the changelogs from the news since very few people were interested. You can see all the new and old changelogs by visiting the new "Changelog" area of my forum (the link is also available in the news system).

While stratics was down the UI got 2 new versions: 5.1c and then 5.1d

With version 5.1c I've added the fading in/out to the music and added a randomization.

About the music, if there is one or more song you don't like, you can post it here: Bad Songs

With version 5.1d I've integrated the Loyalty rating gump into the Character Sheet, so the character info are now all in 1 window.

apart from the fact that here is not the place to post bugs, there are no such problems. Make sure you are using the latest version and try with a clean profile...

Just a FYI I know some people dont like to sign up or register with other sites like Pincos!
If this is the case and you find a bug you want reported just send me a pm with the details so that I can copy and past it and i will report it for you!
I completely Understand why Pinco has them reported to his site in order to keep track!

But I also understand people not wanting to trust in anymore sites to play a game then they have to!

it's not just to keep track of the bugs, it's also for par condicio with the asians forums :p
If I have to track bugs from here I have to do so with every UO forum of the world and I can't do that :D

In line with the latest patch, is there any way to make a target closest+weakest enemy target? It might be nice to have whirlwind and closest enemy target not going for the mob that you have the least chance of hitting. Example: Ilshenar spider champ, 4th level. The spawn levels up, and you are faced with a paragon ophidian avenger and other miscellaneous spawn. You use your trusty whirlwind + closest enemy target, and it goes right for the paragon avenger with a billion wrestling!! :cursing:

Could we have the option to customize the auto loot function to take what we want? I want gold and imbuing ingredients, sure, but I have zero interest in magical reagents, and I especially don't need a fire horn. BTW, thank you for making the auto loot not require the mouse to keep moving to finish looting. :thumbsup:

Something you or another kind soul might be able to help me with: When I die, I want to log out immediately. For some reason, in the last several months, when I press my logout shortcut, the game takes it's sweet time making it happen. I press the macro, and it takes about 5-7 seconds for me to hear my death cry, and log out, and during those 5-7 seconds, undesireable things are happening. Is this hardware or lag related?

Lastly, a sincere thank you for the epic music. Sometimes I find myself just sitting around and listening to it. It always fits the situation, and there are several tracks that come up for every situation. There isn't a single annoying track in the entire collection. Thank you for the thought that you put into that, and for everything else you have done to improve the game. Oh, the money EA could save if they hired you at triple the average salary, put you in sole charge of the EC, and put whoever is currently working on EC on coffee duty... :bowdown:

use target nearest or smart target nearest, to whirlwind usually I don't care how much life they have, especially because the target will switch to a random one when one of the enemies die...

make an organizer instead of using the loot all option...
the requirement of moving the mouse still exist, is not required ONLY if you don't use a loot bag...

It's the time required for the client to save your profile. Probably if you have 1 hotbar and 0 macros will take less time, you should try in TC with a clear profile and see how long it takes :p

I'm not sure about that, they have good people working on it, but there is a LOT of bureaucracy before you can do something.
Usually in big companies you can't do things just because you had a good idea, all decisions must be examined and approved and then someone else will be assigned to develop your idea :D

  • Fixed a bug with the player ignore, now it works correctly.
  • Now the "Hide Tag" option for the new chat works correctly.
  • The organizer will use the "quick loot" system if the destination container is your backpack.

It's not how much life they have, it's how hard they are to hit. Some things in the game, like paragon greater dragons (my favorite fight) are sometimes incredibly hard to hit, even with HLD and capped HCI. Not saying I would take on a paragon greater dragon with a group of monsters and whirlwind, jut saying that a miss in some situations is lethal. I fight in war mode, and my macro is select nearest enemy > special move 1 > attack current target. That way I never stop swinging, but if there is a bunch of lower end spawn and a paragon avenger, why should it select the paragon as the main target and not the weakest link? I havent messed around with smart target nearest. Is that new?

Fascinating! So it's not lag, and it's not hardware, or items, its the profile... So if I start cutting out macros and combining them, I can cut down on the logout time? I do have a metric ton of macros...

There's the problem. The guy with the idea isn't the one who is implementing and developing it. They need to have some departments autonomously functioning, and with a broad range of creative freedom, while maintaining a set of rules. If they insist on a heirarchy of steps and departments to run every idea through, and micro-manage the living crap out of everything at each step, nothing gets done, period. :thumbdown:

Thanks for fixing the bugs I sent to Storm, literally within a couple hours! Hooray for not being dependant on a neverending ladder of bosses!

There is no effective ways to determine who is the stronger mobile except parsing the names, that is not very helpful....

Maybe parsing out "paragon" might save a couple deaths. :p

By the way, any way I can stop nearest enemy target from recognizing guild member's summons as a valid target? Its a major pain to accidentally whack a colossus that has nothing better to do than respond by purging your vamp form and beating you to hell. LOL

Also, I made a great looting organizer, how do I set it to a keystroke?

use the Smart Nearest Target and it will use the mobile bar filter :p

No way to set a button for the organizer, you must use the related button on every corpse. Read the guide if you want to know more about it...

I haven't updated in like 2 months and boy have there been a bunch of nice changes. It's nice to be able to customize the Chat Menu with colors and font sizes.

Being able to move items around from one container to another is really a nice addition as well. I wish we didn't have to move the mouse cursor what can I say I'm lazy. The toggle AFK is really nice as well. I love the Zzzs above the character and the arrows above npcs when you have their health bar drawn. I think I need to go through and read all the guides to fully understand all the functions.

One issue I'm having is with the BOD collector function. On the healthbar the bankers coins are showing up but the BOD scroll is not showing up on the Blacksmith healthbar. It works on Sonoma but on Europa is where I have issues. Did I not read the fine print? Is there a toggle of somekind.

Pinco it's really amazing what you've done and I'm greatful however it also saddens me at the attention this game is being given by those in charge. I'm at my wits end and had it in my mind to give them until the end of the year to do something with the graphics and I still can't see any improvement.

This has to be quote of the year "continued support of the Classic Client is UO's mortal wound". :thumbup1:

I guess if it can't be set to a keystroke, my only beef is that the organizer button occupies about 4 square pixels, and it's a bear to consistently click on.

Blacksmith guildmasters give bods, but tailor guildmasters don't.

Also, I've seen a couple small bods that say they don't go into large bods, but they do.
(I think Longsword was one of them, shoes might have been another.)

the longsword is an evil item that uses to disguise with the name of long sword causing this problems :p

The shoes works fine, and about the guildmaster they are all disabled for bods so there can't be doubts :D

Pinco, is there anything that can be done about this:

When you are fighting and perform a special move and try to run or move at the same time, your character will sit there, even though you have the right mouse button pinned. You have to let off the button and press it again to move. It happens with spells too.

Another thing along the same line is autorun. Even if autorun is set to off, some combat actions or a slight lag can make you continue running even though you are not holding the mouse button down.

Both of these things happen to me many times daily.

I can't handle the movement through script, you have to report it to the devs and maybe one day (if they are in the right mood) they will fix this :D

When I am provoking different creatures I often get the message "you can not tell someone to attack themselves" as it has auto targeted the wrong monster.
Is there a way to not auto target? Some button I can click off?

I really like the new BOD collection button on the mobile bars.

I've noticed that I have to always hit the button twice to collect the BOD.

I click on it the first time and I can see the gump flash on screen quickly but it doesn't collect the BOD. I hit the button the second time and it always works. Strange.

Any Ideas?
