The boss bar doesn't work at the moment, it will in the next patch...
there is something that cuts the status update from the server, if you find a clue, or more specifically what happened just before it stopped updating, I may be able to find a workaround to this....
Pet Healthbars are still not working correctly. Just took my pet out and he showed 100% health. Took him to Compassion and fought a couple of rat archers and showed 92%, healed him, still showed 92 health. Logged out back in, healthbar was normal, went and killed a few daemons and his bar showed me heal him to 92% and then stopped but bandages said he was full health.
I have no idea which errors refer to this, these 3 are the last ones I think.

on every health bar mobs and followers, by switching healthbar updates from Pinco's default 5 seconds to realtime fixed my issue.
This will eat your performance, be careful
This confirm that after a while the status update gets cut off from the server. In the next patch I'll add a system that reconnect the status update every 10s of inactivity, this should keep them more stable unless the connection is lost continuously... in that case it will require a constant reconnection (which will be costly for the performance). Anyway we'll see how it goes
@Pinco my 4 year old i5 is at 51% max, smooth performance at 60 seems fine, am getting random crashes though even tho i've got a practically fresh install and I've never once used the default EC client. I'm Curious about constant logs and warnings being generating can lead to crashes, almost every second I have a warning in my logs about 3 hotbars and their text is "cut off", I'm not sure what this means and it's telling me the number of the hotbar and button but I don't know how to indentify numbers of hotbars, if even possible!
the main log is generated by default from the client, I've just separated them per session otherwise it will be erased everytime. The errors folder is another pairs of hand, is more useful since only errors are put there and if all is fine it should stay empty
In any case, the main reason for crashes (that I noticed) is anchoring a window element to something that doesn't exist or something created after, or attaching a window to a mobile that is no longer on screen. In the next patch I've already included some protections for those cases, but they are not 100% effective. Mainly because when you're running screen after screen or recalling away, maybe the client is creating the name label for a mobile in the exact same instant that you are getting away from it, so by the time it creates it the mobile is no longer there and you crash... also (as Dizzy pointed out not long ago), sometimes using the last object macro with certain items makes you crash (still need to find out which items).
Anyway, there are many bugs and stuff that don't work as it's supposed to inside the client, that's the price of a game with 2 clients and not enough people to work on it
Right-clicking a macro icon on the hotbar and clicking clear isn't emptying the slot, just blanking the icon. This makes you unable to place the macro in another slot.
This brings up the issue of not having an easy way (is there ANY way?) to move macros/actions to different slots...

you have to SHIFT then drag to move stuff around... I'll take care of the clear problem
until I release the patch you won't see any changes
Anyway the old system did not had the problem because it used a brute force refresh, forcing the bar to update every second. That system is effective, but not good for performance, also the client is designed to keep the connection with the server and receive updates when the status changes, so I'd rather make things to work as they are supposed to before using rough methods that cause lag.
Also I'm trying to find a workaround for the lag problem during the EM events, even if it's core design issue of the client, maybe I can find a way...
ehehhe that would be funny indeed
I just imagine someone in the middle of a champion spawn clicking all bars like a madman to see the hp of friends and foes
More macro issues... When I try to set a hotkey, and the system claims its already in use (about 75% of the time it is NOT!) it won't let me set the hotkey to override whatever else it (erroneously) claims is using it. Clicking the OK button does nothing.
When do you expect to get the patch that is supposed to repair all these nonworking hotbars? Sure looking forward to it, I went to the roof today on my tamer and boy what a mess, good thing I have great guildmates that kept me and my pet alive.
I will say I am liking these new hotbars and when I figure out how to best
use all of them and all the bugs get fixed they're gonna be awesome!!

Do you get any error in the logs?
As soon as I finish animal lore
In the meantime I also hope to get an idea on how to fix the lag on EM events, but since the problem is caused in the client core it's probably impossible to fix from the UI...
Script Call failed - Error while calling [UO_StandardDialog.OnLButtonUp]:

Also this one, over and over:

Since you remade the journal window, is there any way to copy text directly out of it on the fly, as its being said by someone (else)?
ok, I found the problem, it will be fixed in the next patch
for the other 2 errors I'm gonna need a copy of your profile so I can see what's wrong... it looks like there is a ghost hotbar or somehting lingering around
Since clicking the line pin the bar of whoever is saying it, I can do that if you press CTRL, it sends the text to EC Playsound and copy it (unfortunately there is no way to handle the clipboard from the UI...)
Will send it in a PM.for the other 2 errors I'm gonna need a copy of your profile so I can see what's wrong... it looks like there is a ghost hotbar or somehting lingering around
So Ctrl-Left-click a line in the Journal and Playsound will copy it? That sounds like a workable method!
yes, just like that
if you drag the name it creates the healthbar of the one who's speaking (if he's around you), CTRL + CLICK will copy the message
I assume this will require a future patch before it works?yes, just like that
if you drag the name it creates the healthbar of the one who's speaking (if he's around you), CTRL + CLICK will copy the message
yep, it will be on the next patch
Assuming I manage to finish this creatures DB nightmare... everytime I reach the bottom, there is something else to add :/
Was there a solution to this?
that's a problem of the stupid gump for the balance, that gump sometimes don't come up and you have to re-open the bankbox... it happens in any client and any UI :/
You could also just say "balance" near a banker NPC...
yeah but the buttons to do all the stuff (especially for EJ accounts) don't appear by doing that... and for EJ accounts means that you can't even deposit items inside the bankbox
I found the "pinned" dockspot, upper right corner, under where I drag my chat screen. So I dragged it to a better spot on the left.
When I log out and back in, "pinned" is back in the upper right under the chat screen.

do you get any error when it happens?
When the UI patcher runs, the first thing it does is check for an internet connection... If that fails for whatever reason, the patcher will instafail EVERY TIME it's run until you either reboot or disconnect and reconnect from your modem/router.
It does this even when I know my connection is stable.

do you use a proxy server? because the connection check is a pretty simple call to google.com, if there is no reply in 60s che check fails...
If you use win 8 or 10 it just pick up the connection status from the system.
Win10, no proxy.
After it fails the first time, it either never actually checks again at relaunch or something causes it to reuse old data. Only rebooting or resetting the connection manually fixes it. It's weird behavior.

Is this UI still available?
of course it is... surely for another couple of months, beyond that it depends on if someone makes some donations or not...
I've found the cause, next patch it will be fixed
It should work better with the next patch...
I've just discovered something interesting today!
Let's just say that with this discovery, I should be able to make a search box for the jewelry box
The only problem is I don't have one to test with, so if any of you can transfer one with some stuff in it to TC, I'll be able to do add the search box

ok, after a few tries, I managed to find the best way to achieve the result with the jewelry box:
It works exacly like the container search, each word you put will add an additional pattern, the main difference is that the items that matches what you are looking for will be highlighed instead of having a list with only those. Since the jewelry box items data is generated page by page, there was no other (nice) way to do it
The filter will be applied on each page automatically, even if you close the jewelry box the filter remains. It will reset if you do it manually with the X or by logging out.

When can we look forward to the patch that cures the healthbar ills? Any idea? It seems like mine works until I get with my guild and then with all the friends/party/monsters it just goes haywire and logging out and back in only cures it for a minute. It's really acute now that I am running a Tamer to go to the roof and some other guildhunt spots.
I still have to finish the animal lore gump and few other little things.
I'm doing tests to replicate that nasty problem (it seems fine for now, but you never know
).And I'm also checking as much creatures as I can to see if the body ID and colors are correct... anyway there is a lot of stuff in this patch that requires extra testing, and I don't have any minion to do it for me
In the meantime if you have ideas about the animal lore gump, let me know
That's already fixed in the next patch
I hope it comes out soon, I felt like a total dumbass this morning at our guildhunt. We did Blackthorn Dungeon which with our mix and choice of characters entails a high level of cross healing. I'm sitting here with 6 guildmates healthbars up and they all say 100% health - all the time!!! ----- and my guildies can heal fast enough to keep us alive but I'm not healing anyone because I can't even see who is low or even getting low on health. Also about half the time the boss's bar that we were fighting did not even exist to me and I couldn't even help kill anything.
