UO Second Age

I don't see it as a bug but rather an intended feature.

Health bars were fairly limited back then, as I understand you couldn't even use them to target.

Maybe redbeard is right after all.

Let's look at this, our beloved Adam Ant to the rescue?:

Clearly green, that's UO:R.

Look at the daemon, it's bar color is blue, whereas the mounted guy has a green bar, indicating he's poisoned.

Now, even though the date of the following posts is all 2000, I do believe they are older than the date indicates, that's when he started his forum I believe:

Bar of the deamon is blue.

victim's bar is blue, the second pictures shows a green bar while he's poisoned

victim is poisoned and bar is clearly green

If someone could contact Adam Ant and ask him if he has a exact, original date of the 4 lasts post; that could clarify more.

I also want to add this:

The screenshot Hemperor gave us comes from this website:

It's followed by the text:

That guy was macroing in town so I sent a poison field to kill him with my newb :p Weirdly, I didn't even get guard wacked heh

Can it be this screenshot is beta?

Because in december 1997 we see a change to the poison field:

Casters of fire field, paralyzation field, and poison field are now flagged criminal for the duration of the field.

When did they add the little bar below your current combatant?

When did they add the little bar below your current combatant?

It looks to have been added on Augst 1999:
http://www.uoguide.com/UO_Live_Access_Patch

Current target highlighting - All targeted players/creatures are now highlighted with a graphic that represents:
Current Damage
The target's reputation (by hue)

Now, this still says nothing about the damage being shown in green if poisoned, but those screenshots (see previous post) are at least post august 1999.

The Status Bar is hued by reputation

I assume that they mean the color of the status bar itself, not the color of the damage indicator.

Double-clicking a status bar now behaves as if the player had double-clicked the target.
Targeting a status bar behaves as if the character had been targeted.

In another post, Hemporer mentioned that you cannot double click the status bar. This patch implements it in Augst 1999.

Here we go, a usenet posting from Agust 1999.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.game ... +bar+green
We are now sure the green bar was implemented with the new highlighting system and the new star bar hues in August 1999.

Is era-accurate enough to be re-implemented here?

Great research Batlin
Yes this is accurate enough to be reimplemented.
Thanks!
