Pinco's UI

I get instant closing of the client when I try to set a loot bag. Is it because I use those plain metal chests from Miasma? They only weight 1 stone which i why I use them.

I tried to get an idem id, but it doesn't seem to return anything, so maybe I'm doing it wrong. the hue id function works fine.

I tried to switch back to plain EC and set a loot bag - that worked yesterday - but today I get that freeform backpack without a grid and the option/container toggles don't seem to change it.
aaaaaand it's fixed :p

plain EC still uses the old containers script that doesn't allow to switch between legacy and grid/list...

The "set loot container" is the same for me 2 days now. And it's not from the container, I tried it with bag, backpack, basket and wooden box. Does it every time, complete crash.

Hmm, I'm able to set a loot container without issue with the newest patch. Maybe it's a combination of something else? I use non-legacy grid containers and have been able to set it to a bag and backpack.

If I have multiple organizers available, I'm only able to activate the bottom one.

I have separate organizers for Gems, Scrolls, and Reagents for when I'm emptying treasure chest loot. Reagents work fine; then when I try to select "Scrolls" it doesn't work. It's changed back to Reagents again.

yes, make sure you are using the last version of the UI, it should be working fine now :p

if you mean the vacuum action, it should be fine now, if you mean the organizer inside the container I can't replicate the issue

Anyone else had log in probs lately? I know this is not a Pinco problem but for the last 2 or 3 days or longer I have had trouble logging in or even changing characters to get gifts from trees. Gets to the character window and locks up and then says lost connection and then cannot reach ultima, try again later. After I click that I usually get in but sometimes it's 2 or more tries. Wonder if it's UO or one of my programs causing it.

It looks like a connection problem or login server overloading... I also had problems getting to the shard list or getting to the character selection because it gets disconnected.
Probably there are too many people logging on and off to get the gifts :D

Never thought about that, I bet you're right. Almost everyone in game is doing that I suppose so that certainly would be more activity for login servers than usual and it does seem to happen sporadically instead of every time. Thanks, I was scared it was one of my dumb virus malware programs or Win10 or something.

Ok, just finished our shard EM Event. We met at the HOC and as the offsharders piled in the lag got worse and worse. We then took a moongate and when I wasn't around about 20 other characters, I could move jerkily but move fairly decent.

We got to the area where the actual fighting was taking place and it was horrible lag, one tile at a time about every second while the preliminary monsters were killed. As soon as the boss popped, which was a Slasher of Veils I got in a few licks I think but without being able to see anything that wasn't old news I'm not sure I even hit him but I was then sucked in to him and lost total connection. Could not get back in the game for probably 5 to 7 minutes which meant of course he was dead.

By the time I got rezzed the corpse had gone public and the loot did appear in list form but was moving constantly with people taking things out so you could not grab anything nor even get the time to read the stats on the item. Again, after probably a minute of this I lost connection again and had a horrible time logging back in and by the time i did corpse was gone.

In actuality this was worse than before because before I could run around very well with dozens of the event goers on screen, the only problem then was the corpse but that still exists so it is now actually worse than before. Before at least I could help kill the minions and even the boss without much problem - the only thing was I couldn't loot but that still exists and now I can't even move, let alone kill the stuff.

And by the way just so you understand, I don't lose internet connection, only the game, I am still talking to my group in TS. I am running fibre optic internet with 200/100 and a very high end comp that absolutely flies in any other task or website.

I am considering trying some other game but I do dearly love the experience and the challenge of being able to do so many different things and I don't think there is a game like this even available. I've tried SotA a little and the graphics are wonderful but I'm not into PVP so from what I've seen so far, that appears to be the prime draw.

I am terribly disappointed, I play this game to have fun which includes all the facets of it, crafting, rp, fighting everything including bosses, mini bosses, and event bosses. Now I find myself constantly trying to offset the many problems of the game and that seems to be the consuming task which is not why I play.

Right now I am seriously mulling in my mind if I could survive without UO and that's something I have never done before in the last 16 years. And I'm not threatening, I'm just trying to face the facts, I have 10 accounts, many of them given to me by my daughters and friends when they quit and I hate to see them go but at this stage I'm just totally wore out of fighting this battle.

Was the lag just about being in the middle of many people or there was a lot of healthbars too?

I have isolated a problem with my PC and MAJOR lag. I installed my UO and Pinco's on another computer ( which is having zero issues with lag) but don't want to spend the time to set everything up again on all my characters. Is there efficient way to copy the files from my old computer to the new one that will mirror my old computer? Appreciate anyone's insight.

just copy the user data folder from documents and it's done :p
the lag could be related to something into one of your character profiles too, keep an eye on that, if you find the one with lag you could also send it to me so I can check what's causing it... :)

It was only my guildmate and me and I only had one healthbar pulled, hers. My mobile bars are limited to 10 total, no pet bars, nothing else.
If I moved away from the group of probably 50 or so folks, I lost the lag and as soon as I got close to the fighting and other players it just slowed to a jumpy crawl.

This was a days old new profile with the bare minimums. Only 7 hotbars and minimal hotkeys.

Before I used to literally fly around groups like this when other folks were lagging. My only problem then was getting enough damage in to get looting rights but then not being able to open the corpse without total lockup and finally crashing.

does it happens only when you are with lots of players or also other things like in the middle of champion spawns?

@Pinco I've been having an issue now with Animal Lore. If I have the pet already targeted with the reticle under it then I can't seem to get the lore page up. Nothing happens when I hit lore. I have current selected so I am not sure what is going on. But if I get the targeting cursor to work then I can target my pet and it's fine. But if the reticle is already on my pet it won't give me the lore page it acts like it worked but nothing happens.

check for errors in the folder, I can't replicate the issue... it's possible is the pet type or who knows what else

I am wondering, when creating macros, if it is possible to repeat it endlessly... instead of up to 10 times?

in here I get a notification, for new post I must check manually so I might miss it :p

you can't create an endless macro, but you can "copy" the same actions over and over again... quite pointless in any case since the client stops the macro as soon as you click anything...

Repeat the actions in your macro with a time delay in between each occurrence, and then another at the end. Then set the repeat at 10x.

The other option is to manually edit the character profile and copy the macro's actions (as text) and then paste them as many times as you want. Both methods bloat your profile.

This is the method I use. Setup the base macro with a repeat of 10, then go into the profile and just copy the actions over and over inside the macro until I get enough of them. Much easier than trying to do it through the UI.

Is there any way to copy those error files without doing one line at a time? I crashed at a spawn and I think I have the time pinned down to about 10-15 errrors.

Use the new errors log viewer, just right-click the EC playsound icon on the system tray :)
That tool has many features like saving all errors in 1 file, saving only the selected errors, you can also select the errors and use CONTROL+C to copy them, and obviously it allows you to clear the folder in 1 click :)

Dunno if this has anything to do with my crash but here's the errors at crash time. This was at Humility Ilsh Arachnid spawn 1st level.

Not enough tokens to substitute at position 2 in string ~

I crash a lot, usually when sitting in my house looking for items or putting away items and I crash around other players, more than occur when I'm just fighting solo.

And I seem to get this error a lot at different times:

Minor looting issue -

If you're looting a MOB corpse with, say, 15 items, and you have that container in "list mode," once you've looted the first 2 or 3 items, the vertical scroll bar disappears. You can't then scroll to the bottom to see if there's something else you want to loot. Closing the corpse and re-opening it brings the vertical scroll bar back.

Bandage or Spell -> wait for target -> target default pet 1

Yes, I set up / store "default pet 1"


Bandage -> wait for target -> cursor target stored WORKS

Correction - it ONLY works for the target that you select when you are adding upload_2017-12-31_13-8-1.png to the macro.


If you have a shortcut for it upload_2017-12-31_13-9-35.png , and try to edit upload_2017-12-31_13-8-21.png to another target, it will not change the target in the macro that you made.

In other words, upload_2017-12-31_13-8-40.png is storing the target in the macro locally, and not letting it change globally if you right click upload_2017-12-31_13-11-18.png and edit it.

hope that made sense....

I found the problem, but the target stored action doesn't work like that.
The target stored, stores the target in that slot not for every target stored in the game... basically you store a target in every slot and that action is used to target what you store there :p

Anyway the problem with the macro will be fixed the next patch, but first I have to finish a rework... of what you'll know soon :D
