  • The window dimensions are stored in the UserSettings.xml file. Unfortunately, this settings file is shared between all accounts/players on the system.  (Last writer wins to UserSettings.xml - usually written at…
  • Testing involving other observers -- On a 32" 4k monitor, most are unable to read much of the text from 2 feet away, at default max 1.0 scaling.   At 1.2 scaling (fine for me), about 50% of people were unable to read the text.  I think something clo…
  • I'm fine if the investigation is limited to the repair station.  The developers can likely ascertain fairly easily if that affects other items not discussed in this thread. The issue in this thread is much easier to ascertain which items are affecte…
  • Many pet commands reset the guarded status - to not guarded. You need to be in guarded status at the point in time when the monster aggro's you, for the pet to auto-defend you from that monster. Easiest way to see this in action is issue "All Guard…

  • The repair bench doesn't animate when used.  Perhaps that was the intent, though.

  • Perhaps doing it twice is an option:0900 EST1900 ESTHard to please all the people all the time, though.
  • This generally works better than "Open Door", since you don't need to be facing the door, at least in EC: It's not perfect though, as it'll open/use other nearby objects too.
  • The "philips wooden steed" instance of this issue does appear to be fixed. However, as of 9/15/2023, the larger issue is still not fixed.  It's very common to have lost drops at places like Underwater shadowlord boss. "your backpack and bank cannot …
  • Covfefe said: This is very frustrating, it seems that so many options are missing from my options interface. The very important ones that you need to play. I have found in this section on EC no problem but for the life of me I can't find t…
  • Note I was talking about "paralyze spell." On the other hand, if you're being hit by paralyzing blow (weapon), I'm OK with trapped box not working there too.  If resist isn't checked, that's OK, but could be open to debate.  Maybe another combat ski…
  • Covfefe said:   ForeverFun said: A few suggestions: 2. It should no longer be possible to use a trapped box to escape the effects of the paralyze spell.  After all, the target is paralyzed, they can't reach into a pack to use an i…

  • As an optimization, you can specify the objectId's of the belt(s) in question. https://forum.uo.com/discussion/11494/ec-how-to-enable-disable-spell-focus-sash In the examples in that thread, change 940 -> 701 (load)change 941 -> 702 (unload) …
  • For CC, replace "UOSA.EXE" in the above with "CLIENT.EXE" For CC, "given the ordinary user at least write access to the UO install directory", coupled with "RUNASINVOKER" for uo.exe and uopatch.exe. Addendum for EC: Patching though -- the UOPATCH.…
  • For the trade runs, we know those have to be paid accounts. Only broadsword knows if those are EJ accounts in heartwood.  I've suggested broadsword add an [EJ] tag above EJ players, for all to see, which other users have agreed with.  (On the other …
  • It may well be a bug that (by default) EC/CC require administrator to run/patch. Many would say running network games as administrator is crazy. At least for EC, you can avoid running it as admin, once it is installed, just by running UOSA.EXE. Pat…
  • You can see a youtube video linked here that shows brute force runic crafting in action. attempting to craft very specific items. There was an old post I made on this forum (can't find it), that couched this in terms of "balron economics".  That is,…
  • Are you talking about this post ?link Whether it's scrolls of transcendence, or the slim veil, these all resolve down to the same discussion. Take animal taming as an example.  This is an incredibly grindy skill to raise.  Players don't like the gri…
  • If you assume people are doing this in FEL / slim for the chance to get Slim's Shadow Veil, it's been posted the odds of that drop are about 1/10,000. If you assume each trade run can be done in 2-5 minutes, that's on order of 20,000-50,000 minutes …
  • @Bleak Bleak, regarding issue #1 (healthbars not updating) This (link) appears to fix the issue. Can you propogate this/similiar change to all EC users? If you want a "1-line" fix, something like the bold below likely works, without fixing other l…
  • I don't think detect can be trained on pets, and the skill doesn't seem to function. Barding difficulty is rarely brought up on pets.  (Detect is mostly a "death counter").  It's probably most important when fighting monsters that use barding skills…
  • The "recursive" nature of the current search is also a useful feature (you can use it to refine a search based on properties). If search were scriptable as I mention above, your original request could be moot.  Why interact with a tiny UI element, f…
  • In spellbook.lua, function Spellbook.UpdateSpells() -- offset -120 on X axis clickable area ("straps" that hang on left and right are 60 width). WindowSetDimensions( this, (xSize * scale)-120, (ySize * scale)) -- was +0 on X -- ... Dyna…
  • Personally, I would balk at the request to move the search item UI element. On the other hand, perhaps a request more along these lines would be useful? Provide a macro (assignable to hotbar, key, etc) that can be used to execute "Find" in the last …
  • @Bleak Can you remove the clamp to max 1.0 in EC, which is being applied to the "custom_ui_scale" configuration element?  (in the player settings file). Other->Command = script SystemData.Settings.Interface.customUiScale = 1.2 2. Act…
  • The windows are rectangles. The problem appears to be an offset used on the left side.Notice you can't drag the book around underneath the left side strap that hangs mid-way down the book. The "clickable" area of the right side of the book is shifte…
  • Hydra should be a new tame-able.  (1)Commanded undead (necromancy mastery) should no longer "poof" at logout/etc.  (2) (1) That would spice up and provide an alternative way to fix the taming related problems with Underwater (link).  Lets face i…
