I have a real bug to report.

Steps to recreate the bug:

- Go into enhanced container mode, set your loot bag (in this case a pouch).
- Switch to classic container mode.
- Open the pouch.
- Try to interact in any way with anything in the pouch, or interact with the pouch in any way (you can't).

The only way to even close the pouch is to move it in your pack.

I'm unable to replicate it... I've tried with several containers but nothing happen..

Silly me. Yes, the stone taps intrude when you snap the bars together but they vanish if you click on the box to the left of the tab <smacks forehead>.

For me, at least, this version is stable. My only remaining nits are silly really. I don't care for the horror film movie poster font for the warnings but that's more a matter of taste. I do, however, wish that when I select Top for where it is displayed that it would really move to the top of the screen and not what looks like the center to me.

And if that's all that bothers me, then....well.....that's not much at all.

Again, thank you so very much, Pinco.

hehe the horror movie text location is based on the play area and not related to the entire screend. I have to do that because if I do that on full screen it can go over hotbars and is not a nice thing :p
However I pushed the text into the border (as much as I could), so will not looks like in center :p

In upload ... :)

the EC is really strange sometimes... while working on UI sometimes I get insane bug that vanish by restarting the game... :confused:

Oh I've had that one a few times. I could move around in game but it was like being in a cave. I've had to navigate using UO Cartographer once or twice.

Actually, it was the centering that was my problem. I want it at the top of the screen when I select Top and, thus, out of the way of the action. Once benefit of the Rocky Horror Picture Show image is that it will get your attention out of the corner of your eye. Plus, you're low life because of what's going on in the middle of the screen....not the best time to have it blocked :)

Any way to make it placeable by the user, ala Lucius?

One last nit, though it's becoming more than that the more I play using the UI: the health bar color gradient is driving me slight nuts. The ones for the other healthbars are great because they diminish in thickness the lower health gets. Marvelous! But with my health bar the red is so dark in the most critical area: the lower end. I've not been able to determine my health at a glance.

Oddly, on one of my characters there is also numbers overlaid. I only get numbers on the others when I mouse over that My Health (with the nice cameo) bar. What am I failing to select to give me these numbers all the time?

That could compensate for the color gradient bar.

Thanks, Pinco :)

Well this build is more stable than the last however I'm still getting several crashes.

One, I changed my FONTS to UO Classic, hit apply and CRASH. I logged back in and the Fonts didn't take so I changed them to UO Classic again, hit apply and it crashed. This happened three times.

Also, the Atlas is not updating as I move. Landmarks such as shrines and moongates remain static as the map scrolls with my movement. Party members do the same thing. I have to check & uncheck "center on player" to make it update these correctly.

Also, about half the time, when I log in, several hotbars, including the Menu bar, will be switched from horizontal to Vertical and at the bottom of the screen almost completely unreachable.


So what is the proper method to uninstall a UI? I've been switching to the default UI, then deleting the folder from the User Interface folder, then copying the new one and switching back to it.

I hate the invisible numbers, however there is a default option of the client (user settings -> options): always show health, mana and stamina.
I'm totally unable to play without those numbers :D

too many bugs, send me your usersettings.xml and character profile to [email protected] so I can make some tests with your settings.

I also suggest to try with a new character (like on TC1) and see if you have the same problems...

Well I started using a different character and there have been fewer crashes.

A couple things though,

- How do you remove the facet and world menu from the atlas.

- When you create a macro and or assign any hotkey that is already assigned the confirmation gump doesn't close when you click okay and the UI also does not remove the hotkey assignment from the old function. For example, you assign the "c" key to cast spell cure, you get the message that the "c" key is already assigned to "open character window". You click on okay but the gump doesn't close and the macro menu doesn't update and the previous function assigned to the "c" key isn't removed. So now you press the "c" key and the cure spell is cast and the character window opens/closes. You have to find the function assigned to the "c" key and remove it manually.

- Containers don't open up to the default 5x5 size like they do on the default UI and others. They open up to 5x4.25 or so and have to be resized every time you open them.

- As I mentioned in the previous post the Atlas isn't updating when it scrolls. If I go thru a moongate and run away, the moongate icon, or waypoint I guess, sticks with me statically as the map scrolls. All waypoints, moongates, shrines, party members do this.

OMG, is THAT what the bloody option means in the default client?

Damn, that thing has too many examples of too few neurons. Putting those numbers is up there IS NOT SHOWING, rather IT'S TELLING.....or, if it's showing, the option should say what's being shown. "Show numbers for health, stamina and mana...overlay numbers for health stamina and mana, display numbers for health, stamina and mana. There are so many ways to say it that would have at least a chance of making sense.

Okay, did it...it works. Wow....thanks, Pinco, for deciphering that for me and others reading this. Did you have to capture a U-Boat to get the tools to decode it?

What a person would reasonably expect that option to mean is that all three - health, stamina and mana - be displayed on all health bars. I didn't want the clutter. Thus I never checked that box before.

Sorry....I'm not the brightest candle in the chandelier myself but, for each of us, there is a particular brand of stupidly we simply cannot suffer well.

Whew....I feel better now. True, I'd feel even better if I could drive an engraving tool through the eye socket of the person who did that, and inscribe a properly angry message on the inside rear of their skull. I'm sure there would be no intruding brain matter in between. Pity about the eye though :gee:

I would apologize for the rant but I do not feel sorry :lol:

On a different note. Any chance of getting lock/unlock toggles for chat windows?
exist as default.... left click on the orange baloon for it...
Ah yah, sorry, I was unclear. That lock causes the frames or tabs not to show when you mouse over chat windows (for me at least) so I can't swap tabs on a window. I tend to have several chat windows open, one of which has a couple of tabs. Thanks for the response. :)

Ok this is just getting increasingly frustrating.

Attempted the following changes;

- Enable Block other's Paperdoll, click okay --> CRASH

- Enable War/Piece Shield, click okay --> CRASH

- Always show Health, Mana & Stamina, click okay --> CRASH

I've tried to set each option several times and it CRASHES every single time.

edit: I've adjusted all these options on two different characters with no crashes. On my main tamer though it crashes every time. What the hell do I need to do? Delete the entire character profile and start over?

Ok, it appears this character is bugged somehow.

I don't have to set any options but just opening the user settings menu, and clicking okay, crashes the game.

disable the snapping of the hotbar past the grey area??
i dont like this as it blocks the last square..

If you mean that gray faux stone tab intruded on the adjacent square when you snap one toolbar to another, I too was upset by that. But if I then click on that imposed upon square the gray tab vanishes. I discovered this, though, after logging on afterward. Not sure if that's necessary.

If that's not what you're referring to....nevermind.

As for those frustrating crashes....I cannot comment, only sympathize though that does no good at all. I've suffered many too but not on the level you have, Zeke :(

I've noticed the crash thing when clicking 'OK' to exit the settings window.

If I right click it away it works but clicking 'OK' is insta crash with all the chars that I've tried thus far.

At least right clicking it is a work around. So after selecting an option I click 'Apply' then right click the window to close it.

hi,friend ;)

the hotbar change ,is this intended or a bug ?
its not a good change....it is impossible to arrange the hotbars the way i like...
pls undo this...or give us an option for hotbar old/new style

mostly i do hotbars 3x3 blocks with a little space between each block,for a better overview
(looks better as a 3x24massive hotbar block), with the new overlap snap it is almost impossible to do this :(


and i soemtimes also crash to desktop when pushing apply in the settings

The hotbar feature is a test feature actually...
So what's you want to restore:
1) The fact that the hotbar snap ignoring the gray part
2) The fact that the hotbar will lock without shift (by hidding the gray part)

hm...i think it is both...
examples.. OLD style
1)if i start left,hotbar 2 snap on hotbar 1 left, if i lock the hotbar 2 it "jumps" 3-4mm to the left so i have a little space between hotbar 1 and 2

2) a 3slot vertical hotbar between 2hotbar 3x3 horizontal blocks, the grey part is at the upper window border,if i lock,the 3slot vertical hotbar, it snaps to the upper border,so all hotbars are "in line"


most char.hotbar arranges looks like 3x4H / 3x3H / 3x1V / 3x3H / 3x3H / 3x3H / 3x1V 3x4H
so it looks straight-line and "clean"

All right, I think you got it. I made several changes with characters including the one I had been having problems with. I had zero crashes.

Also appears the atlas is updating and scrolling properly now too.

Just want to say also that despite the problems I've had, your UI is awesome. The amount of work you've done is much appreciated. I'm now in the process of switching all my accounts/characters over to Pinco's UI. I can't wait to begin testing out some icon packs.

DFMOD 1.0 is awaiting Pinco's aproval, after which it will be available for download from his site!

Virtually everything has been remade with this skin - in the preview image attached, you can see the paperdoll, which has been given a dark background, the healthbar, target bar, and party bar, the inventory, and a few examples of the icons I've remade.

Remaking those icons took forever....It's shocking how some of the default icons visually made no sense AT ALL. For example, compare my "Target nearest follower" icon to theirs...

Cool deal Nalif. I'm in the middle of revamping the icons in mine as well as I know what ya mean.

As for the targeting icons, yes, the default ones SUCK horribly. That's why I went the "cheap" route by using the target cursor in various hues and then text to clarify underneath.

Glad to see another UI on the scene!

Down to the nits again. I cannot, or at least I've been unable to, give my pets two or three part names with this UI. No biggie really as I still have the Lucius UI installed and can switch to it when I want to do this.

Still, any way you could add this ability Pinco or is it there and I simply failed to do it correctly?

just say:
I wish to rename into <NAME>
and target the pet

example:
I wish to rename into Giant Beetle The Great Beast In This World
<TARGET>

then your pet will be named: "Giant Beetle The Great Beast" (the rest will be cut by the server automatically)
