Pinco's UI

[Pinco]

3.8h
- Fixed the map:
 * The "mouse over" coordinates now are correct with scaled maps.
 * The labels now are created in the correct place if you have a scaled map.
 * Changed the checkboxes font.
 * The map is once again open automatically on first start.
 * On first start the map will be resized at the minimum size and placed top right of the game area (instead of center screen).
 
- Added the Void Manifestation to the creature database.
- Added "Wind of Corruption" and "Resonant Shield of Vengeance" to the artifacts list.
- Added a new script macro:
script EnhancePack.TakeScreenshot(<black>, [scale]): black must be True (for black background) or false (for white background), the scale is optional and must be a number greater than 0

- UPDATED WAYPOINTS: added the gargoyle outcast camp locations, new magincia city markers (trammel & felucca) and the faction strongholds.

Hmmm, can't download the UI, can only download the waypoints...

 

[Llewen]

well, I release the file but you can download the latest version only once per week

No complaints here. I like it when bugs get fixed.

Just to be clear, I mean I like the way you've been doing it. I'd be a sad panda if I could only download your updates once a week...

last minute fix, now is available for download

Until there is something to fix/add I'll keep patching fast as I can

Oh heck, I think I'm in danger of being misunderstood. I in no way meant you are working too slow, or anything like that. You are amazing. I just meant that I'd hate to be restricted by software to downloading your updates once a week.

Great stuff Pinco. I can’t keep up your adding so much great new content so quickly. So many great features you’ve added to make this EC Client so much better. It’ll be interesting to see if the Devs live up to their word and also make improvements on it.

I’m not sure what all else they can do besides a graphics high-resolution upgrade.

Many great new additions from the BODs, to the item descriptions of Imbuing Ingredients, icons, actions and the slayer talismans. I’m loving it!

It just keeps getting’ better and better.

A few additions that come to mind that I want to throw out there:

In Lucitis I believe when you were asked to party you received a gump asking “ Do you wish to Party?” With Yes or No buttons. That was pretty handy as I’m a lazy bum and hate typing /accept.

Others things that fall under communication which could be handy for some users:

Ord /Anord (Tomb of Kings Entrance)
I honor your leadership (Faction Point Xfer)
Luna mint (I use that command more than any other on my crystal porter)

Those communications Icons look real good…clean and crisp. Same with the Slayer Icons…they look damn good. I wish I could figure out how to do it.

Lastly would anyone mind explaining me how Waypoints work? They allow you do record plots onto the in-game map.. permanently? Is that feature working properly? How accurate are they or is UOCartographer the way to go?

I tried implementing the SA Treasure Map Way Points posted in the Treasure Hunter’s Forum but didn’t have any success. Nothing appeared in any of the maps even though I added them to the waypoints.xml file.

Is there a special Pinco file I need for waypoints…I didn’t see it on your page. I'll go look again.

Thanks for all your hard work Pinco! EA/Mythic needs to put you on the payroll!

This thread should give them a good place to start:

This is actually part of the client itself, not part of a mod...

Go to User Settings, Options tab, then scroll down to Interface.

Check the box that says: 'Display Pop-up Window for Party Invitations'

Dammit how did I miss that!? Wait...don't answer that.

Ord /Anord (Tomb of Kings Entrance)
I honor your leadership (Faction Point Xfer)

I can add those commands

Luna mint (I use that command more than any other on my crystal porter)

this command is completely a personal choice, so is better if you make a speech action for it

Just right click on the point and select create waypoint from the context menu.
This allow you to chose the name, icon, icon size and coordinates (a yellow button switch between x,y to cardinal location).
If you made the icons too small, they will be visibile only with deep zoom levels.

 

[Llewen]

It would be nice to see the town sigil locations added to the waypoints.

yes... I had to take a tour on felucca cities to get the locations

 

[Pinco]

3.9
- Added new speech commands to the actions:
 * Ord
 * An Ord
 * Punkte
 * I Honor Your Leadership
 * I Wish To Place A Trash Barrel
 * Stablecount
 * News
- Added a button to the hotbar stone part:
 * This button allows you to minimize/maximize the hotbar.
 * Right click on this button allows you to lock/unlock the hotbar by keeping the stone part visible.
- UPDATED WAYPOINTS: Added the 7 town sigils.

This new mod to the hotbars should help a lot who has few space on the screen

Hey Pinco,

There is one option that confuses me: Map Area/Facet Combo. It says something about my being able to explore a dungeon without being physically present or....not.

I know it's tough to get certain things across in a tooltip. Could you explain this option to me? It's either new or I simply failed to notice it before.

Oh, that I rather love those cupola enshrined paperdolls. I'm sure all of us who have toured castles have jumped into one of these things when the guide or other staff were not watching and had a buddy take a photo.....yeah, the photos look damned silly when you see them years later. These you've placed in the game, however, add a certain period dignity that many have lamented the absence of in the Enhanced Client.

Hey Pinco,

There is one option that confuses me: Map Area/Facet Combo. It says something about my being able to explore a dungeon without being physically present or....not.

In short: if disabled just remove the 2 combo boxes from the map and enlarge to fill the perchment. If disabled, you will also be able to do the same things that the combo does through the context menu

However, is better try to enable/disable it to understand well what it does, because is harder to explain but easy to see

yes, and also looks good with legacy paperdolls

Thank you very much.

 

[MalagAste]

Wow.... just Wow... that's all I can say.

Pinco you're amazing. I wish they had DEV's this dedicated and devoted...

*shudders thinking about how awesome UO would be if we had DEV's this awesome*

 

[Madrid]

Is there a waypoints.zip file that needs to be downloaded!? I thought there was but I'm not seeing anything.

 

[Pinco]

Is there a waypoints.zip file that needs to be downloaded!? I thought there was but I'm not seeing anything.

yes in the same place of the pinco's ui file

 

[Jonathan Baron]

It should be added that the unzipped waypoints file goes into your \Documents\EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\User Data directory I believe....well....that's where I've been sticking it and it works fine.

Okay, Pinco, I understand now. It's toggling map region headings. Thank you I wanted a way to remove these.

[Pinco]

3.9a
- Added more options to the hotbars button. Now you can choose to close the hotbar on right/bottom.

 

[muscle n flow]

I just wanted to say you are the reason I love the EC. Great job, and you are very dedicated! So many updates recently.

Wanted to ask about a few things. For me at least, there is no way to see if Consecrate Weapon activated without actually landing a hit and seeing a number change. Discord is similar, I can't tell if a creature is still in discord after a while (like if I run too far away) because there is no graphic for either of these things. I was also wondering if I am the only person that doesn't hear music in the EC at all, save for a few new locations.

If any of these issues are easily addressed, they would improve my game quite a bit. I love it so far, you're amazing!

 

[Dermott of LS]

...

If you have Consecrate Weapon on a hotbar slot, you'll see the timer appear there when it is active.

about consecrate:

...

about discordance I can't do anything but you can see if the beast still in discordance by the red musical notes flying over its head

about the music I don't know how to fix it... but you can carry the dawn's music box (BLESSED!) and change the music manually...

 

[muscle n flow]

I updated to the latest UI and it fixed the consecrate timer not showing up. I still don't see any graphical indication of discord in effect, but I've been doing okay just reading the system messages.

The latest updates have all been great! Amazing work on the map, it's very nice now. The new paperdoll design is much easier to use, no more switching tabs for clothing, but it is a bit bulky in size on the edges. I don't like that I can't drag health bars out of the mobiles list anymore though, for the same reasons I love to right click close health bar, it's a matter of speed. It also seems that you decreased the size of the gray boxes (quests, moongate, etc) to have a much smaller font than everything else (like journal or paperdoll) and it makes it hard to read, but again that's not too big of a deal.

I also thought I'd mention that the bard skill cooldown timers are acting funny. The discord timer is too long (I can use skills again when it gets to 3s) and when I use area peace the timer doesn't kick in at all. Maybe the first is due to the way Bardic mastery affects their cooldown timers? The Counter Attack stance of Bushido doesn't turn red for me like the other stances do. When double clicking quest givers, it opens paperdoll along with quest gump.

A quick question: is there a way to set where on the screen corpses open up? Right now it always opens for me in the upper left area of the screen.

If it seems like I'm complaining, sorry! I'm just trying to point out all little things I come across in case you haven't noticed them.

This is not my fault, is a client problem that only devs can fix

Use the scale mode and make it little

I don't like that I can't drag health bars out of the mobiles list anymore though, for the same reasons I love to right click close health bar, it's a matter of speed.

there is a white arrow on the top right of each bar on the list, click it to take it off.

I'll take a look on them and will be fixed on the next version

A quick question: is there a way to set where on the screen corpses open up? Right now it always opens for me in the upper left area of the screen.

no, the starting value is set by default and change every corpse you open. However I'll check if I can do something about it since you are not the first with that problem

 

[Pinco]

3.9b
- Fixed the new hotbar lock system.
- Added another option to the hotbars' show/hide button that allow you to change the color of the stone handle.
- Fixed the bard skill cooldown timers. Bard mastery time discount still not be considered.

Hi, Fantstic work yet again Pinco. Love the new paperdoll!

small issue though, im using Copper Texture Package and as you can see from the screenie, i dont have colours on my health,mana & stamina bars

 

[Pinco]

it's a problem of the texture pack....

 

[Storm]

pinco i just installed the newest version and when i went to collect some bods the bod window is corrupt around the edges

this happen when the scale is wrong, unfortunately scale this kind of gump has some unpredictable effects and there is nothing I can do to fix it

 

[Rimeny]

Yeah I know, was just pointing it out

 

[Elric_Soban]

Just checked out your UI.. VERY nicely done, Pinco.

My only beef with this mod is that I can't seem to move the "say" bar off of the main gameplay window. In regular EC i could move it around.

you can, just go to the user settings -> pinco's ui
and remove the check from: "Lock chat line to the game window"

Bah! Who needs bars anyway!

The Copper Texture pack is on hold for te moment as I am working my way through the tons of extra icons to match the Third Dawn theme (which will make it easier to flesh out Copper as well). After I get the icons done I will do an update pass on 3D to make sure it works all well and good with whatever the latest version of Pinco's happens to be at that time, then I will update Copper.

Right now the port over to Nalif's UI template is on hold and may not end up being used for Third Dawn, but might work better for Copper, we'll see.

 

[Elric_Soban]

oh nice. one other thing: can u change the damage colors back? im used to red for enemies and yellow for me... Pinco UI reverses that?

edit: oh wait, i found it. didnt realize the 'pincos UI' tab scrolled down. lol.

Very good news!

It's really a shame that you all can't be rewarded by EA in some way, because you guys are making the EC awesome.

 

[Dermott of LS]

...

Keep a watch on the Third Dawn Texture Pack thread as I am periodically updating the first post with status reports. Once I restart on Copper, I'll set up a thread for it, then Stone afterwards.

I'm really hoping that this run at the icons will be the brunt of the time-consuming portion of it all.

 

[Ezekiel Zane]

Pinco, I noticed that in the EC, when you open up the Virtues gump, it doesn't display Seeker, Follower and Knight of Virtue like it does in the Classic Client when you hover over the Virtue's Icon.

Is this something you can fix within the UI?

Any chance of target relative like in uoassist?
I want to create a macro for placing, wait 4 mins and pick up lobster traps

Hey Pinco not sure if i missed it but is there a visible timer for bandies? If not would it be possible to put a large obnoxious one in? I hate starting a new bandie before the first is complete and resetting the timer.

if you drag your bandies onto the hot bar a timer appears over the top of them!If you want a huge one just put the bandies on a bar alone and make the bar only one slot then scale it up as big as you would like!

 

[Madrid]

Now that the word is getting out your really getting bombarded eh' Pinco!

One thing I noticed is there are like hotflashs spots around the screen similiar to what appears when your dead and looking for a healer? Anyone know what I'm talking about? What's the story with these?

Also and I'm sure this is not a request everyone would like to see but is there a way to stop the chat box from defaulting to transparent when it's idle?

I have a very hard time seeing what's being said in the Chat when the dark background fades away and it becomes transparent which is usually like 2 seconds after you leave the box. I wish there was a toggle to keep the background dark at all times...seems rather silly to me.

Is this even possible?

the screen flashing could be a problem of graphics card

about the chat fading out, you have to right click on the orange baloon then remove the check from auto-hide.

 

[Elric_Soban]

I would say, "EA Mythic should hire Pinco to work on the EC full time".. but then that would mean that he would be working for EA.. which is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.

This kindof caliber mod should be elevated as 'official' and maybe even patched in via the uo patcher.

Pinco's UI is like 2 years worth of EC love all rolled up in one user-made UI.

 

[Storm]

I agree! I would like to add all of the modders here have contributed much to th EC and to this forum and The devs have noticed and even more important I think is we are now getting a lot of notice and converts to EC and a lot of this credit goes to what pinco has done with his mod it is the showboat of the EC now!

Now if we could just get a little help from the devs with some of the graphic options we would like to see and maybe opening up some of the code for modding it would be win for us all!

This is one of the reasons i have started making some videos on installing and am now working on some videos to showcase some of the perks to EC especially with the mods!

 

[silent]

Thanks I'll give that a try. My eyes are usually glued to my health bar and never noticed the little timer. I'll try and crank it up.

 

[Viquire]

Hi Pinco, great job on the mod!

I am loving having the legacy container with scrolling list view for my thunter. Chests and backpacks look great. I was surprised to be looking through containers in my house and find that the small wooden boxes do not appear to have received the same treatment.

Just making a note. Thanks for all that you have done and are doing!

mmm that's strange, I have to check why...

EDIT: all contaiers has its own right image as background... I need more details about the container, maybe it's not a regular wooden box (the orange one).
