I also get an unhandled exception error if I delete a piece of equipment manually in the load equipment menu, if it is already loaded in the character, and mouse over it. Restarting the template editor and reloading the character fixes the problem.
edit: And the 8 sdi on the enchanted kelp leggings is missing.

Pinco I downloaded The newest version Of your UI and now when I highlight fish I do not get the deep water/shore/dungeon text and when I highhlight the fishing quest boxes it no longer shows the amounts and totals in the chat window ?
I wasn't logged in. All better now.

Oh I know, Pinco....I'd never trust my digital fate to Windows' multitasking "capabilities" (running Media Player while running UO). If you're into combat pets though you face - depending upon the pet - between 4 to 30 hours of sitting there while your pet endures a basic training fighting a Shadow Elemental.....this is where audio books come in handy too.
I tried using your play music actions though. Started UO using your EC playsound executable. Dropped a play music icon from the Pinco's UI list of action items into a hotbar slot. I was immediately prompted for a command, which I assumed meant the name of a sound file in the /music subfolder and I gave it one. Clicked okay but the prompt didn't close until I selected something else. Fine. Clicked on the music icon and got "unrecognized command." Tried another sound file. First one had lots of stuff such as numbers and spaces in it. Same problem. Selected Edit after right clicking the play music icon in the hotbar and the proper file name was listed there.
I'm missing something pretty obvious, aren't I?

I don't know whether this has been asked yet but would it be possible to add an addon that does custom sounds for specified keywords?
Like someone yelling my name and I get a dingeling sound or something?

well, the PlaySound is here by 2 days and I'm open to suggestions
however, I had the same idea and is work in progress
in the meantime...
Code:
4.1f
- Fixed a problem with the emote sound.
- Fixed the name of the EC PlaySound when drag into the win 7 taskbar.no way to do that, just use the status and macros with target on self

hmmm was just told you can do it in copper enhanced?
just checked you can do it in other mods
if he need a double healthbar for himself, surely there is something wrong in his gameplay ...

The problem I was told is the size of the character bar and docking it with the rest of the health bars due to the size and other options like the warning message and buff icons etc some of these people have very elaborate set ups for there screen layouts .... personaly I use target self macros and asked about this but some have limited key bindings left?
well, I can add the red & green button to the status if that is the problem
Here you go, this should make the life easier to your friends storm
Code:
4.1g
- Added the Red (heal), Green (cure) and Blue (invisibility) button to the status window.
- Added the Blue (invisibility) button to the healthbars.
- Added the Blue (invisibility) button to the party healthbars.
- Changed the red/green button texture in order to add the blue button.
- Now you can snap windows on top of the status window.

This has probably been asked before, but here goes:
I have a friend that I'm trying to introduce to the marvelous world of enhanced client, and especially enhanced client with Pincos UI!!! This is compounded by a language barrier.
My friend is having some issues with the process of getting your UI into the right directory and unzipped, and working. After trying to talk her through the install and getting thwarted by her computer not having an extractor for zip files, it made me yearn for a simple downloadable exe file that would automatically find your UserInterface folder, regardless of where it is on your computer (the enhanced client seems to install to different places on different computers), and self extract the UI to it. Anything like that in the works?
The next issue will be turning the chaos that comes up on screen when you start enhanced client fresh and add Pinco's to it into something easily understood for someone coming from classic client. I would be happy to set her screen up for her with the appropriate bars and play area and windows and hotbars, so the transition will be smooth for her, but I dont know how to transfer it to her. If I started a fresh character and set it up how she would like it, can I send her some files to transfer my setup to her so she will see everything organized and not just keep using classic because it's what she knows?
In fact, I think most enhanced haters are just people who don't stick with it long enough to understand the features. If this can be streamlined for an easier transition, I think the vast majority, even the hardcore haters would switch. Some would whine about the terrain, and some would talk smack about the paperdolls or the new art, but they would switch for playability.

Well, let's just say that the days when online games attracted chiefly the adventurous early adopters of technology's vanguard are over....UO being the "best" proof of that
And, now, coming to you live from Stratics, the UO Chorus will perform its seventeen hundredth encore performance of the timeless classic, "Change that and I'll Quit."
Oops.....got a little distracted there....off to try your new version, Pinco

I will upload a fix today for that in order to make it usableI'm having a problem with the latest version of the template editor. The window for the suit sets is showing on top of the drop down menu for items.
What kind of OS is using your friend, windows 3.1?
a zip extractor is included in windows and it's pretty easy to use
However an installer is in the plans but I can't when will arrive
yes, in My Documents\EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\User Data\<Your Account Name>\<Your Shard Name>
you'll find a file with your character name. Just send it to her so she can rename with her character's name
I don't know how to semplify more... if you apply the Pinco's suggested settings (asked on first start) the game will take the best settingsIn fact, I think most enhanced haters are just people who don't stick with it long enough to understand the features.

Is there a way to color text in the chat window much like the 2d UI does? I would like to see skill gains colored to make them stand out from standard white game text.
no ways... there are only fake chat scripts on the package so there is no way to change anything on chat..
Since the UI setup files are big, the next step will be a new way to install/update the UI:
The UI Patcher! (available soon)
Advantages of the new system:
- Easy setup: the patcher will install the UI by placing all the files in the right folder without any more troubles.
- Fast updates: the patcher will download only the file changed in this version and will skip all the others.
- Auto-remove the unused files
- Thanks to the Re-Install button, the UI and will be safely removed and automatically re-installed.
- No need to check forums to know if a new version is available.
- Changelog always visible.
Disadvantages of the new system:
- The first install could take more time to download due to the lack of file compression.
- Eventuals updates to the patcher will requires a manual download from the site.
- The patcher is in english only.
This will be the future installation/update for the UI, so if you have suggestions (about the patcher) now is the moment

you could always start the game by EC PlaySound or in the classic way and open the patcher only when you want to check if there is something new
will also allow you to turn on and off the uo patcher by 2 buttons that allow you to start the game through the uo patcher or just start the game
about the textures/icons pack, you still have to install them manually, the patcher just replace the old Pinco's UI file with the updated ones...
But should avoid the total remove and reinstall of the UI at every update, so you have just to reinstall the texture/icon packs.
I just installed the EC Playsound app... Nice to hear extra sounds in the game again!
One tweak if I could, for the sound triggers...
Could we get most of them pluralized? i.e. *laughs* *giggles* *applauds* etc.
Thanks!

It's not my PC, it's her's. It's a brand new machine but she bought in in Japan, and I don't knw what kind of preinstalled software they come with over there. I told her to right click on the Pinco's zipped folder in the UserInterface file and select "extract" and she said there was some kind of error.
Excellent. I'll set it up with the settings I think she will like, and she might be a little more receptive. That file logs where the windows are located on the screen, and such?
Awesome x 6!
Don't care x 3! LOL
Ok, so I downloaded the newest UI, and my backpack looks all funky with a grid in a legacy backpack. I lost the ability to stretch it, so I can't see my runebooks anymore! How do I get the old style back, or stretch this one?
AAAAAH! All my containers are like that! 15 squares isn't enough viewable area in a container! In fact, I wish I could permanently stretch my bank to show 50. When you make a check for 1,000,000 and the check doesnt appear at the top so you can stick it in a bag. You have to scroll and hunt for it. Then you have to stick it in your bag and scroll the box up. I looked in the options and there doesn't seem to be any way to modify that...

yes, is all in there
just disable the grid legacy containers from user settings -> pinco's ui
I tried using PlaySound but I get this - anyone an idea what's wrong?

That wrong?
I seem to have the same problem as Anira Cuilwen.
I know less about computers than my 6 year old daughter so I've given up on it for the time being (to avoid having my head explode). It's not too big of a deal for me since the UI itself is working beautifully.
I gotta throw another "Thank You" at ya for all you've done.

From my purely uneducated and decidedly non-German perspective, it appears to me that you don't have some part of DirectX installed that you need. There is a DirectX SDK or something similar that sometimes needs to be installed to run certain games - it's additional DirectX components that aren't included in the default Windows package.
yes, that's could be the problem... also the .net framework 2.0 could be missing :/
THANK YOU Llewen!!!!
As soon as I read your reply I googled dirext X, went to the microsoft directX site and downloaded and installed directX and Voila! It works!!!
Anira Cuilwen, this is what you need to do as well.
Again, thanks Llewen

I didn't notice that the Pinco's tab scrolls down in the user settings menu.
Now my backpack is locked down in the same space, and is 6 x 6, even bigger than before.
Is there any way to set other containers like crates in your house or your bank box to open by default to a larger size?
if grid legacy containers are disabled the containers shape works as default, but I don't remember if the shape worth for every containers or not ...I didn't notice that the Pinco's tab scrolls down in the user settings menu.

*giggle* works fine, but *giggles* doesn't. Same with *laugh* v *laughs* and *applaud* v *applauds*Also, I've run into a problem with vent. When I run the EC using the PlaySound, my Vent key won't work. This used to happen when I ran the EC through the patcher as well, now I simply bypass it (and still do with Playsound using -game) I also run Playsound as Administrator...
Re: Pinco's UI (coming soon...)
mmm... seems strange... remember that the value is based on the current stamina of the character...
ok, I will add the missing plurals (maybe it's just a bug that block them) to the next version.It doesn't though

about the vent bug: i don't know how does vent works, but surely is a vent bug... probably it won't recognize the UOSA process...
