do we know what the new art is? I tried to view it in the ec but the viewer I am using keeps glitchingjust 58MB for EC
there are no more programs able to see the contents of the UO files ... not for CC neither for EC :/
lately is not working anymore, it's possible something has been changed... in any case that program was far from being considered completed...
I would agree but this is stratics, a forum where anything as much as a single misused comma in posts made from uo.com is enough to rile the crowds into a frenzy. lol
there's another one that does work for the new CC/EC files but we're not allowed to link it here :/
the latest patch breaks them all, probably is changed something in the base file structure
I wonder if a custom game file structure is in response to freeloaders, Or if something special is in the works to be released soon that they plan on NOT sharing their work with free shards anymore. While I'm not interested in a stump hack or anything similar, I do get nosy, and just wanna look now and thenthe latest patch breaks them all, probably is changed something in the base file structure
if so it's a silly move, it won't effect the freeshards at all...they're not using EA patches as they come out, they'll just continue running with the files they already have. Besides, between the conversation earlier and looking a bit deeper it looks like the byte offset actually just changed by a few bytes (they added a extra data field maybe, i don't care enough to look further) so it's a 5 minute patch to the tools if their authors even still monitor them.
It's a smart move. They simply starting to use the same kind of file structure for CC and EC so they can add animations and new graphics without messing up with different files. In this way they will spare time
Sure it is and it'll look like *** too because the resolution of the 2d client is NOT good and can't be at a larger screen size.
Me and other CC users satisfied with the graphics quality. We need only more game space.
This isn't directed at you SirZ, but I always laugh when pvp'rs talk about how the EC looks like crap when so many of them have for years replaced all their pretty trees with stumps, and their cool looking fields with coloured squares. This upcoming publish may be the biggest graphics upgrade in the history of UO for an awful lot of players.
But it culd be acceptable.
Exactly! I think many people in this thread can't understand it & speak about unnecessary zooming.Of course it's about functionality, it's not about being able to zoom the playing area, it's just about making it bigger. At least one of the most popular cheats was able to do this, it shouldn't be that difficult for the devs to do it. The only question is whether they want to or not.
