Pinco's UI

Pinco I have one small request.

Most times when I start a new character or something the paperdoll winds up HUGE and partially off the screen on the right side. I can't move the paperdoll at all because the only place you can click and "grab" it is on the bottom where your name is... but unfortunately this always seems to end up WAY off the screen to the bottom and I can't get to it.

I'm always having to find and pull out the button for scaling the UI and having to shrink the paperdoll in order to move it.

Can you make a spot on the TOP area or something of the paperdoll that can be "grabbed"?
the stone area and around the buttons can be used to grab it... then with new characters just use the Pinco's UI suggested settings in order to scale everything to an acceptable size ;)

I just have to say to you, Pinco (And Dermott as well) that what you've done is simply incredible. High Seas finally pushed me over the edge (and a new PC helped as well) to use the EC. With your UI/Textures it makes the client definitely playable.

Hats off to you both! :thumbsup:

I think I found a bug in the book recorder...

Any book with a : in the title won't get recorded. A file is made for it, but the title of the file is only the title of the book up to the :, and the file is blank.

yes, this could generate an error... will be fixed on next version :p

Is it possible to access the default EC font, i think its called "Name"
I don't see it listed on any of the font options.

I've tried and tried to grab it but I can't grab to move any part of the paperdoll but the area with the character name on it.

around the buttons is the place :p
However, in the next version will have the full stone area usable for drag ;)

The new 'aye aye sir' crashes the playsound. Error message reads:
Active Movie Window: EC Playsound.exe - System Error
The program can't start because MFPlat.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I restarted uo and tried some emotes, they all worked fine, but when I told the tillerman 'forward' he crashed the EC Playsound with his answer.

I googled MFPlat.dll and found that it's a component of Windows Vista. I have Windows 7

I have win 7 too, but this component is for execute mp3 files :p
I will add it to the package in order to make it works good :)

UI Patcher 1.3.1

- Added a DLL used to execute MP3 files that in some cases could be missing.

Now I get:
ActiveMovie Window: EC PlaySound.exe - Bad Image
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\MFPlat.DLL is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system adminstrator or the software vendor for support.
How, please, do you actually do this?
The UI Patcher supports the following command lines parameters:

-noplaysound : use this to start the game without EC PlaySound.
Knowing I can turn off the sound and thus avoid the above error, is no help if I don't know how/where to put the command line in.

I downloaded the new installer - that's how I got a different error message.
Currently I'm just right clicking the icon on the task bar and exiting EC Playsound, Which is a pity, because I liked the emotes.

Do I need to install Windows media player? I currently have 'winamp'

Not sure where thoe problem lies, but my chivalry spell duration no longer count down. For example, the consecrate weapon icon just shows a static 8 seconds when used.

Also, for some reason, my backpack on each character closes when I log out.

I get this when packs are in certain places - it seems like there are some areas where it doesn't like a pack/bag to be when it closes. I don't know if it has something to do with bags hanging off screen or what, but I've seen what you are talking about.

there is a bug on the auto-close veteran reward that breaks the entire ui (sometimes), you must wait the next version for the fix...

by keep an eye on the changelog you can watch what will be added/fixed on new versions :p

Pinco's UI Version 4.2D

1) Unravel Calculator Settings keeps resetting to Queens Forge when I relog.
1b) the radio buttons aren't working right for this option (trying to change to ter mur forge leaves queens forge turned on, have to click on normal forge to get queens forge to turn off, then ter mur forge)

2) Item Properties Intensity Info is so far off it's ridiculous.
Some properties that are max intensity you have listed as 100%, while others at max intensity, like hit point regen 2, you list as intensity 2.
Resists are listed with intensities of 15%-19% seemingly at random, even when they are at the minimum of 1%.
Durability 10% is listed as intensity 100%
Lower Reagent cost 20% is listed as intensity 20%

The list goes on and on, pretty much all the intensities are wrong, which leads to items with 5 max intensity properties being shown as producing magical residue when it should be showing as relic fragment, and items with no added properties, just normal resists, are showing as producing enchanted essence when they can't be unraveled.

1) fixed on next version

2) it's not the intensity, it's the cap :p

first of all, I can't list all the items around the game so certain items that cannot be unraveled will be marked as they can be.
Then the formula used for calculating the kind of resources unraveled is the following one:

Code:
A. Total Magic intensity
The basis doesn't change except damage convert intensity.
After Publish63, Material's Property is included in the intensity calculation.
However, Resist+ bonus is not included only by it.
Exceptional effect, DI+ or Resist+ bonus, is not reflected in the intensity calculation only by it, too.

example)
lower requirement -50% by dullcopper weapon is 50% intensity and 1 property.

A'. More than 5 properties.
When the number of properties in which intensity is calculated becomes 6 or more, the following adjustment is done.

a. Total intensity of all properties is calculated. Below the decimal is rounded down. [X]
b. X is divided by the number of properties. Below the decimal is rounded down. [Y]
c. 5 is multiplied by Y.

example) 5 properties weapon enhanced gold ingot
Hit Dispel : 40%
Hit Cold Area : 50%
Hit Stamina leech : 46%
Hit Chance increase : +10%
Defence chance increase : +9%
Lower requirement : -50%
Luck : 40

a. Total Magic and Material intensity
= 80 + 100 + 92 + 66 + 60 + 50 + 40 = 488% [but 488% is not applied]
b. 488 / 7 = 69
c. 69 * 5 = 345%

B. Material Bonus
After Publish63, Material Bonus is multiplication by the total value of A or A'[Total Magic intensity].
Before Publish62, Material Bonus was addition.

Dullcopper : *1.02
Shadow : *1.03
Copper : *1.04
Bronze : *1.05
Gold : *1.07
Agapite : *1.09
Verite : *1.12
Valorite : *1.20
Spined : *1.01
Horned : *1.02
Barbed : *1.04
Oak : *1.01
Ash : *1.03
Yew : *1.07
Heartwood : *1.10
Bloodwood : *1.15
Frostwood : *1.20
All Scales : *1.03

C. Race Bonus [not changed]
Human : +0
Elf : +0
Gargoyle : +20

D. Soul Forge Bonus [not changed]
Normal : +0
Royal city(center) : +10
Queen's : +30

E. Durability and Imbued penalty [not changed]

If Durability is less than 50, correction rate decreases 0.02 each.
If "Imbued", correction rate is 0.80.

example)
durability 45 and imbued --- correction rate is 0.70 (=1.00-0.02*5-0.20)


example)
unravelling item property[weapon] :
"Imbued"
Damage Increase +45%
Hit Dispel : 40%
Hit Stamina leech : 44%
Hit Cold Area : 44%
Dragon Slayer
Material : Valorite
Race : Gargoyle
Soul Forge : Queen's
durability is more than 50.

A : Total Magic intensity = 90+80+88+88+100 = 446%
B : Material Bonus = *1.20
C : Race Bonus = +20%
D : Soul Forge Bonus = +30%
A * B + C + D = 585%
unravelling intensity = 585% * 0.80 = 468%
Relic Fragment is unravelled.
I'm unable to get a better one, if you don't like it take paper and pen and go in TC1 to gather another and I'll be glad to use it :)

UPDATE: ok, there is a bug in the actual code and the durability penality is applied on non-imbued items. Fixed on next version :)

I go by this calculator: Knuckleheads.dk • Imbuing Calculator

And my second comment was a mistake on my part. The number after the property shown is the max value that can be imbued, I thought it was the intensity value you were using.

I have been away for 4 weeks, so excuse me if something I say may be a repeat.

First off - wow, Pinco you have been outdoing yourself once again. I love the new patcher! Fantastic stuff!

And now a few requests :p
Would it be possible to work the Texture pack selection into the patcher GUI? Would be nicer than having to edit the link on the desktop.

Also, with that new ECSoundPlay thingy - could you add a sound if a GM pages you? I have more than once found myself suddenly in jail, just because I overlooked the page and didn"t respond even while at the keyboard. Something loud and alarming would be appropriate I think ;)

about the patcher is already planned this mod, just I can't say when will be available :p

about the sound, well you can add all the custom sound that you want :p
just right click on the taskbar icon and open the sound manager :)

actually there are few problems with the provider so the patcher, site, etc... are down :(

UPDATE: seems there was a fire into the server farm where the domain is hosted... let's hope the damages are not too heavy :(

Ooooh, I just came up with a nice idea to make things easier. Is there any way you can add a feature to be able to adjust the order in which yuor macros appear? I would love to have all my weapon macros in a group, and my action macros, and my combat macros...

Of course this is probably not possible, or else I'm sure you would have done it already! Thanks for enhancing the enhanced client! :D

is impossible to define if a macro is for combat or what else, that's why you can assign a name :p

The domain is coming up, and the patcher is working again. The home page will be down for a bit more time until the mysql server is restored...

Yikes @ the fire.

I have a request, and I don't know if you can do this or not, and I also don't know if you would even want to do this, but there is an app for the classic client called the UO Journal Converter, it is in the Stratics' tools section. What it does is take your journal and converts it to html format so it can be read by your browser, with a dated index. It also can filter out repeated entries, and colourized the entries from specified names, etc. I'm wondering if it would be possible to incorporate something like this into the launcher?

I'm seriously not trying to find more work for you to do, but it would be very cool if you could do it. :D

Not really. I already have a script that copies my journal, dates it, then deletes it. The journal can get pretty huge if it isn't regularly erased/deleted. It's also really nice to have all the repetitive and meaningless crap filtered out. HTML format with an index is also very nice, although that limits the search capabilities that I have with my text editor. It would be even nicer if there was a way to search all of the journal entries in html format.

If it isn't too difficult to do, it would be really nice. But if it would be a colossal pita, then you've already got plenty on your plate. :)

I just got the patcher and updated the UI.

So its on longer possible for me to take icons I like from other UIs and drop them in the Pinco UI?

I liked the legacy icons for skills/spells/weapon specials. I see nowhere to add them in the new UI.

I Hope you find the inspiration Pinco. I LOVED UO Journal Converter and I miss it terribly. I use my logs to write stories and sometimes post logs of meetings and such and I know Martyna does too. Fixing log conversion would make several people VERY happy.

I have no idea how it's done. A friend of mine made a Journal conversion program but he hasn't updated it in forever. Wish you could work with him on getting it integrated or working.

yes you can still add them I have some of my own custom icons that i use just drop them into the pinco icon folder (in the folder that contains the one you want to replace)! just keep in mind if the ui is deleted and replaced you have to replace them again

I wasn't talking about defining what the macro is for, just being able to move one up or down in the list. Some people can get along with 30 macros, but my list has grown to 150 with all my weapon macros and such, and right now they are chrolonogical, as the game puts them, so If I want to edit or delete one, I have to search the entire list and think about when I created the macro so I know approximately where in the list it is. Likewise, If I add a new weapon to my arsonal, it goes to the end of the list.

If I could manually organize my list, by moving and grouping them by their purpose, it would make things a bit easier to find say a weapon macro, because it would be in order with the rest of the weapon macros. Same goes for gestures and emotes. :thumbsup:

a solution already exist: use less the macros and more the hotbars :p
