Hail Guest! Please read the new announcement concerning the upcoming addition to Stratics. You can find the announcement Here!
I'd love to see some working health bars that won't stop updating all the time; pretty please.Since the Pinco's UI needs to be reworked, it's time to send your requests!
that's not an UI problem, and it was fixed client side, so it could be a profile/lag problem...
yes, check the user settings -> pinco's UI section, but remember that a LOT is going to change when the new default will came out...
Thanks for replay, but there are no such options at user setting -> pinco's UI section. There are only option to make new user friendly layout, but there are no option to get back to standard cursor items properties view. Maybe there are some file that needs to be replaced from the Ultima game location?
Thanks.
I'm probably not the only player who as they get older finds their eye sight not as good as it used to be.
Can you give some thought to options to make things easier to see
For example...there is an animation that shows when a mob is under the effect of peace, unless I have my nose right on the screen I can't see it Being able to change the color/brightness of that effect would make a BIG difference to me.
Maybe an 'Accessibility' Tab to gather these sorts of options together? People are used to this from mobile phones etc. Just add things to the tab as people make requests.
Really looking forward to seeing the new interface

What do you mean by "standard cursor items properties view"? If you mean you want it to look like the classic client, that's not an option. If you want it to look more like the EC default, just uncheck the option to use the new layout.
that's the option, just disable the new user friendly version...
You don't need to be blind for not to see that effect, but there are no accessibility options on the game... perhaps you could use the windows magnify tool?I'm probably not the only player who as they get older finds their eye sight not as good as it used to be.

Heya, a friend got a problem. When he uses Pinco's UI, his fps go down to 5 about every 3 secs. So its unplayable for him. The enhanced client itself works fine. He uses windows 8, but had same problem with windows 7. You got any idea what the problem could be?
if he's using an old version is quite possible that it's happening... but it's not important right now since when the new default UI came out I'll have to rework the whole UI so...
Im having trouble since this new patch came out a bit ago.... the box that comes up when you highlight something is staying open and it wont go away till i move the cursor off screen. is anyone else having an issue with this? its rather annoying...

I am having the same problem
Hello, i love the pinco UI but is there any tips to reduce the lag? I have none with classic EC but with pinco it s almost unplayable. If there is any tips i would like to know them as this addon is just awesome. i am running on win 8.1 quad core 8giga ram so i dont understand whats wrong as even EC dont requires that much.
Thanks
Thanks
the only tips is to wait for the new default UI to get out so I will have time to rework my own...Hello, i love the pinco UI but is there any tips to reduce the lag?

yes, but when the new default will came out the current UI won't work anymore...
Sorry, I can't say anything, if you have questions, you have to ask to the dev team...
nope, but I'm close to release a beta
I have just one small thing to do before the release, so for this evening I should be able to release it.
Few heads up:
- Clean the user settings folder:
Find this folder: Documents\EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\User Data
and remove any folder EXCEPT the folders with your accounts name.
This will make the transition smoother, and frees the client from unused data.
- Backup your profiles
make a backup of all the folders you didn't delete with the previous step.
The profiles made with the new default UI should be 100% compatible, but it's better to be safe than sorry
- Getting ready
Use the UNINSTALL button on the UI Patcher first.
!!!MAKE SURE THE Pinco's UI Folder (inside UserInterface) is gone before proceed any further!!!
There will be an updated zip package that allows you to start the setup from scratch which contains a basic version of the UI.
Remember that the new patcher has the resume function so you should be able to start over where you left in case something goes wrong.
- What to expect
This will be a BETA version, so you should expect some bugs.
I still have some features to add for the final release, but for now I just want to make the UI stable.
When you'll find a bug, you can report it through the game bug report window (remember to select Pinco's UI) or as usual in my support forum (it requires to be registered).
- EC PlaySound
With the new version EC PlaySound is mandatory, so remember to start the game with it or the UI will switch automatically to default.
I think that's it for now. As usual, if you have any ideas let me know, thanks

Pinco , GREAT UI. I have only 1 problem I get connection lost after about 30 seconds after entering the game. Have deleted all profiles, did a complete uninstall and reinstall of both the EC and UI Beta 6, still does it. If I make a new character I have no problems, but if I try to play one of my older ones it does this.
this may be fixed on the next version...
You The Man!!
first off I want to say thank you, I don't think you get enough credit it when it comes to the dedication and time that you put into this UI. And second when Pinco's disappeared after the publish I honestly didn't even like playing the game anymore as I was so accustomed to the look and feel so I am glad to see it back and so far I love a lot of what you did with it. The only thing I noticed is with the animal lore gump...for example when you head out to do some taming and take a greater dragon for instance, when lored it shows its max HP at only 1000, instead of the 2k it used to be...so its throwing off the rating a lot as its seeing HP at 25%/25% all the time
that problem happens just because the gump doesn't recognize correctly the tamed between un-tamed creatures, the next version already has the fix for that
nope, the rename system works fine as it is, there is no need for another way to do that
you can have longer names right now...
16 chars is the maximum for every name, longer names causes a lot of trouble around... besides do you want to write a poem as name?
well, in that case I can just remove the lenght limit and leave any possible mess to the serverI used to be able with using "I wish to rename into" through your UI create names like
"a cu sidhe pure white rated 4.4"
Now, all I can have is "a cu sidhe 4.4"
I'm gonna ICQ ya
