[*]Fixed an issue with Tinkering

thanks, for whatever it was! Somehow I knew the 'fix' wouldn't affect the Not using Resources bug

For at least as long as I can remember, tinkering has not used up resources, or uses them up at a reduced rate, on failures. This is not true on Siege, however. I found something not long ago that explicitly stated tinkering failures would use resources on Siege, and my recollection is that I found that note in something official (e.g., publish notes). Therefore, I tend to think that perhaps the "not using resources on failures" aspect of tinkering on other shards may be deliberate.

Maybe someone like Basara can comment on this issue. I've tried a search on the forums and on Stratics where the tinkering skill is discussed and could not find anything.

From official playguide's Siege Skills page:
(No longer on the main website -for no reason at all, they just removed it- but both uoguide and stratics archived the old texts, stratics also has the old playguide: ULTIMA ONLINE : PLAYGUIDE : Siege Perilous - Skills):

Failing while tinkering will use resources. Also, when a tinker fails at making a trap, he will always take damage.

Pretty sure the tinkering 'fix' is that it now makes the sound of swords clashing when you make an item - personally I much preferred the silent tinkering
