Pinco's UI 6.0 BETA

I've put up with that before, clicking 3 or 4 times until he right menu finally came up - this time no amount of clicking helped, even after logging out and back in. I did just log back in and try it again and got the menu - so I guess sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
when you take a current target wait a second or two before try to get a context menu, because there are some automated calls of it that might prevents you from getting the one you need... Besides to get bods/bribe just use the buttons under the target window no? :p

Also I am finding when I go to drag a health bar of something it is going to the very top left corner of the screen and it can't be moved at all. No idea what is causing this, anyone else having this problem?
I can't replicate this

This issue with context menus may not be Pincos. I have gotten this occasionally and I haven't tried Pincos beta yet. Letting you guys work all the bugs out first. Heh. Yeah I'm a bum but I donate.
yeah, the context menu is mainly the way the system is designed the problem...

Pinco, I know it's kind of late in your Beta but was wondering if you could change the following window:
upload_2014-12-20_11-55-44.png
This is the window as it is in the regular EC client and the text you type in is Light Green which is almost impossible to see. In your old UI you had replaced it with a much easier window to work with. This window is also the same type that pops up when you add a promotional item. So if you can change them I would truly appreciate it...

I also ran into this yesterday. Eventually I figured out the only way to unlock it was a little dot in the upper left corner

I've had this myself today a few times. I'd never seen it before. I either crash out when I pull health bars or now they just pop to the top right corner and cannot be moved unless I Atl+click them. Also when this happens my mobile bars stop working :-(

Yay, thanks Pinco. The black font is MUCH easier to see. I hated the light green, couldn't see any typos I made and it was quite annoying. Thanks again...

Yep I quit out and reloaded and there was a nice little update. Thanks Pinco.

I have just noticed today that when I equip a different sword the previously held weapon still shows in the paperdoll.

OK I'm still getting the bars popping to the top left corner now. I can re-produce it every time just from dismounting. The health bar for my horse goes to the top let corner and not under the pet bar.

Another strange thing has just started to happen. When I right click gold or items on a corpse they no longer move to my backpack (gold pile) and my loot bag (all other items). I enabled quick loot on all containers and the same thing happens.

The scale mode works fine on containers...
Can you explain where the ability to scale containers independently is please? I've searched all the options and I can't see it, and having Zoom In/Out set to mouse wheel and rolling it over a bag doesn't rescale it. I can do it via the Options > UI scale but that handles every window.

Scale Mode is under Actions>Other. Drag it out to a hot bar, click it to turn it on, then put your cursor on the border of the backpack gump and scroll the mouse wheel. You can resize individual pieces of the UI this way.

you must first drag the scale mode action into an hotbar slot, use that action to enter into scale mode and then use the mouse wheel to scale things around :p

Ok, thank you; I'll have a look at that.

Meanwhile, just tried my first event on Europa with the new UI... is anyone else unable to click on the healthbars to select as current target? I couldn't get at anyone via the Mobiles Bar, the Pets Bar, or even dragging the health bar off anyone. Had to set them as stored targets for bandages and spells etc. Tab targetting worked however...

yes, that's part of a radical test I'm doing... I should be able to upload another patch shortly that will fix that and probably the crash bug too :)

I have my tab key = target nearest enemy and as you say that works fine. I found double clicking the target on the mobile bar worked also.

I'm having trouble with party health bars jumping about all over now :-(

give it a try now... and you all should try if the client is still crashing when you take the healthbars...

With the last mini patch now you have the action: "Equip Last"
It was highly requested in the past, I hope you'll find that useful :)

Well I've been giving everything a good test today and I'm happy to report its all good now. I've only had 1 crash from dragging a bar so something is a lot better there. I just hope I wont be back here eating my words....!

Crafting glitch?
When I'm making a bunch of items with my carpenter, and hit make max, I want to be able to drag more wood into a container to keep it going until the container is full. I can't do that, because the number gump freezes when I try to grab more wood. It seems as long as the program is cranking out items, it won't let anything else happen

Hello, me again.
Is there a fix being planned for the difficulty of getting NPC dialogues to come up? I worked around not being able to get BOD and bribe options by using the BOD and Bribe autotarget buttons, but I don't see an easy way around other NPC dialogue options - and here's one that strikes straight at new players.
I was taking a new character around New Haven tonight picking up skills from the NPCs and was having a very hard time getting the dialogues to come up. It seems the game was still remembering some previous target instead of the target I was clicking on, so the proper menus to get the needed skills from the NPCs would not come up. I had to switch back to EC to get the job done.

I noticed today that the detail for wood types is missing. When you mouse over different timbers it just says 16,718 boards, weight 16,718 stones, Yew. No other detail like it used to, ie what the timber gives you when crafting. Is this going to be added like before? Same for ingots and leather. I used to find the added detail fantastic, especially when I haven't use a material for a while.

They show up on the Tool Gump if that helps.

Since this bug was really bothering me from the first time it appeared, today I've decided to tear apart the whole context menu system in search of a definitive solution for the problem

After several hours I've finally fixed it, so when I release the next version (in few hours) this problem will be finally gone :banana:

I just went to do some SOS with my friend and the way point was created on the map fine but it no longer shows the flashing beacon thing in the water. Is there something I need to turn on for this Pinco?

Also seems to be a problem with party bars not scaling.

Top picture shows how I set them up. Bottom picture shows when I login again. They jump back to actual scale and not the size they are set as.

the yellow glowing thing is only for the old waypoints system, I can't restore it...

I'll take a look on the scale of those bars, in the meantime test the context menus if you can, thanks :)

I've tested the party healthbars and are working fine for me, send me your profile so I can test :p
