Pinco's UI

[Llewen]

the only case when this function may cause lag is when you press previous target and the list contains thousands of "previous targets" with many of them dead or out of sight.
The ignore items has a complex code and manage much more items than the smart last target without generating lag, so I don't think it is the cause

Ok, well I think probably it was just normal lag from there being lots of targets on screen, etc. Or it might have just been a momentary thing. I didn't notice any issues later when I was playing.

Just wondering every time i log in my skill tracker is empty , I have removed the skills and added them back to the custom tab and still when i relog there gone...I must be missing something didn't see anyone else having this problem.
I can get it to work if i click skills then hit show real/modified but when i log its blank again.

When you upgrade do you delete the Pinco's UI folder first before you install the new version?

 

[Meat Elemental]

Yup! I always delete the old one, going to try re-installing pincos again to see if it works...I think this has been happening to me for the last 3 builds and I dont have any other mods on.

Well you've probably uncovered some kind of a bug. You did the right thing posting about it.

 

[Pinco]

you should mail me your character profile so I can test and see why is not working on your character

 

[Llewen]

I have another request and/or suggestion. Is there any way to get the mobiles' bars in the mobiles display to order the bars according to how close they are to you. Sometimes my next and last hostile that I have bound to my mouse wheel stops working and I have to try and click on bars to acquire targets. In areas with lots of mobiles such as spawns this can be pretty difficult when they are ordered randomly as they appear to be.

can't be done, there is no way to know the coordinates of a mobile...

Ok, makes sense. Thanks anyway.

you have to right click the green button and put show all my skills to see all your skills, the custom skills are managed by the client.

 

[Meat Elemental]

Just tried that out! didnt think of right clicking it. It shows my skills now but when i relog says Skills must be in the custom window and they are there. Not a big deal to right click it every time i log just never had to before.
Was going to send you my char file(all 7 the same problem) just dunno where to send too.

ok, now that I know what the problem is exactly I can fix it

 

[Manny]

Not sure if this is a bug or not but with the latest build I just went out and did some hunting and my dread mares health bar kept jumping between friends and pets mobiles lists.

I'm unable to replicate this problem.

Restarted and it stopped doing itrolleyes:

Thanks.

 

[Llewen]

I'm wondering if the last target is causing a small amount of lag for me.

the only case when this function may cause lag is when you press previous target and the list contains thousands of "previous targets" with many of them dead or out of sight.

I'm definitely getting some lag when there are a lot of potential targets on screen. If you can't do anything about it, I can live with it, but you are a genius, so maybe you can...

 

[MalagAste]

I think Pinco deserves a very big Cheer!


:smooch :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:


There that ought to do it!

 

[Pinco]

That's not the cause of your lag. I've tried to make a queue of 1000 targets then switch rapidly through them. The process was istantaneous, no lag spike and no slow down of sort.

The EC lag is shown in 2 ways:
1. Communication lag. When this happen you'll see in less than 1 second what happen during the lag spike (if not gives a connection lost).

2. Computer lag. The client freeze for a little while, but still you'll see your character's animations. In this case when the lag is over you don't know what happen during the freeze moments. In this case the client could crash.

To generates lag, the targeting process should work through billions of target, and not plain targets, because it cycle only if it find an invalid target...

Nice thnx again!

 

[Llewen]

That's not the cause of your lag. I've tried to make a queue of 1000 targets then switch rapidly through them. The process was istantaneous, no lag spike and no slow down of sort.

Any time there is a change, I become much more aware of issues like lag. So it could be that it was there before, but I was just not noticing it. Anyway, thanks for looking into it for me.

My Dynamic object button has gone! Where can it be?

It's in your options, just click on the box. I forget the exact name of it, something about handles maybe?

[Jartan]

Hey I love this thing and don't know how I even played without it!

I was wondering if it's possible to do something like the lootbag with salvage bags? For instance if I'm crafting like 100 circlets to raise skill it would be a real time saver if they would just automatically get tossed into the salvage bag.

Put the ingots inside of the salvage bag and craft. The crafted items will be created in the same container of the material

If I recall correctly, I read that there are buff/debuff timers for orange petals and enchanted apples (though I never thought the latter did anything but clear the curses on you at the moment you ate one). I'm not seeing anything on my screen when I employ either one. Is this actually a timer you're supposed to activate yourself (the hourglass?) when you consume one or is it a checkbox I've failed to check?

Thanks again. This UI has given me some forces to counter attack the disparaging remarks I always receive when people realize I'm using the EC. Sometimes it gets distinctly hostile ("F*cking Trammie!" "NOOB!"), but I'm not out to court the favor of all cap sociopaths. Rather I have sensible arguments now for the full featured humans in this game who do not suffer cerebral paralysis attachments to the past

Allow me to say, I do pretty well in pvp, and a lot is due to the EC and Pinco's UI. The EC with Pinco's UI has a lot of advantages over the classic client, and I include UO Assist in that equation.

there is not a buff/debuff timer, the timer is shown on the hotbar icon like the bandages

However, I don't remember if there are the orange petals...

 

[Llewen]

However, I don't remember if there are the orange petals...

There isn't a timer for either orange petals or fish pies. It would be nice to have it for both if it was possible.

 

[Pinco]

that's could be a problem... unfortunately the hotbar are unable to recognize the difference between colors...
so orange petals and rose of trinsic petals are recognized as the same items
same thing for the pies...

enchanted apples has the same problem with plain apples... and right now I didn't find a solution :/
Maybe one day I'll have the right idea

 

[Jonathan Baron]

I can't say that with any authority of course, Llewen, but when I posit the notion based on the discussion here, and also note that the EC accepts and employs the same scripting language, then folks listen. The belief that the EC is a disabler is among several puzzling widely held beliefs in UO that run counter to fact.

But as my favorite American statesman said nearly 250 years go, "Facts are stubborn things."

I'd like to learn how to be more effective in the game play aspect of UO and this UI helps. Playing effectively is rewarding because it helps build the social bonds and camaraderie that form the chief reason why I enjoy online games.

I understand and respect people drawn to it as primarily a solo activity made fuller because other people are in the same digital world. But, for the life of me, I simply do not fully understand, nor do I respect, people who think they're special and entitled to heap abuse on others because they're good at playing a computer game. It's a gratifying, it takes cunning and effort but it's hardly a notable human achievement. To listen to them you'd think they'd demonstrated the courage and skill of an Alaskan or Canadian bush pilot.

"there is not a buff/debuff timer, the timer is shown on the hotbar icon like the bandages"

Sorry, Pinco, but I read this as saying that there isn't a buff/debuff timer but there is. Perhaps I simply woke up on the "thick" side of the bed this morning....happens to me a lot

ok, just to clarify:
Buff/debuff timer = icons under the status with countdown

The timer that I've added are numbers on the hotbar icon, so to see them you have to drag the item inside an hotbar slot and when you use it the countdown will appear in this slot

I'm unable to explain it better, my english is not that good

 

[Maleachi]

Good day!

I have been using your UI for a while now, thanks for that, it is awesome!

But now... I reinstalled my laptop, installed UO etc etc... Installed Pinco's UI, DFMOD for Pinco's UI and the waypoints.

Now my radar is nowhere to be found? Is this supposed to be happening? Cause if so, I find it rather annoying. Even though I play with Cartographer too, I always have my radar up.

Kind regards, Maleachi

the radar has been removed, because was too bugged and have less functions.
Use the atlas, you can resize and scale to make it little. There is also an option to remove the combo box on the top of it.

 

[Maleachi]

Thanks! Will only use Cart from now on.

One thing I have noticed is that the imbuing gumps are no longer correct.
When imbuing a certain property it normally says i.e.;

citrines 10
crystal shards 10

Instead it now says

citrines
crystal shards

So there are no numbers behind it anymore.
Is this due to the the UI?

 

[Pinco]

imbuing gump comes from server side, I can't do anything.

try to increase the UI scale, sometimes could cause this kind of problem if is too little ...

lol! Thorough studies, as depressing as they are numerous, conclude that one in a thousand people in my country know their native language beyond the level of eight grade. Oddly, many of these functional illiterates have college degrees.

Lots of money went into these studies too as they go to the core of e-commerce message delivery.

But I digress.

The number I see when I drag potions, petals, apples and such to the hotbar are the quantity of those items in my pack. I've not seen a timer appear on those slots when consume the items. Perhaps I failed to delete a previous version during one of the updates. I'll reinstall.

[Pinco]

it's not available for petals, but is available for potions with a cooldown

What I'd like to see is items in corpses listed according to imbuing weight from top to bottom so that the most valuable items are always at the top.

I have an odd little habit in filling junk BODs. I go out, PvM, and collect ALL of the metal weapons and armor pieces regardless of mods. Those items go into a set stack of secure containers until I have quite a few full of junk items. Then I will take the collected junk BODs I have been getting (small normal Iron) and fill them fromm the junk items I've been saving up. Then once I have combined all available items into the deeds I have, the rest of the items that I did not have deeds for get resmelted into ingots to fill the Exceptional Iron junk deeds.

Having an Alpha sort available would allow me to more quickly sift through the containers to pull the needed items for the specific BODs and less likely to miss them as I'm scrolling through the listing.

 

[Llewen]

Me too but can't be done... I can't read the item properties if the cursor is not on it.

Ah, that's a shame.

 

[Jonathan Baron]

It would be reeeeely neat if you could add a cure for cancer, avarice, hypocrisy and human duplicity to the next version.

Thanks, man. You're the best!

Okay, okay, I'm being silly....it's just that I'm having no troubles whatsoever with your UI, I'm quite satisfied and pleased with it, and simply felt like posting something anyway

-

 

[Jonathan Baron]

Okay, seriously now, I do have a minor problem but I don't think your UI can address it. It was something that broke awhile back: font color in the engraving tool text entry field.

Originally it was a nice, dark color. Then, suddenly, it became such a light green against the white background of the text entry area that I have to select the text after I'm done in order to see it.

The sudden switch in text color predates my use of your UI. Would you happen to know how a person goes about changing it?

No big deal really. I don't spend much in-game time labeling containers. If I did it would be time to cart me away

yes, is a bad bug, but unfortunately the engrave gump is made server side so I can't do anything :/

Hi Pinco

how about auto cancel vet rewards like UOA
is there an option yet to stop this annoying pop up when logging in?
