UO Second Age

Something I messaged derrick about earlier, however I couldn't find the thread I messaged him about.

I found a similar screenshot


This was a screenshot hector posted about mini heal, but you can also see the horse is

(tame) - uncoloured, the screenshot Derrick posted it was uncoloured, this one is probably altered by UOA.
a horse

On UOSA it shows as a horse (tame)

Spellcasting on UOSA shows as
(frozen)
Nightshark

whereas on era screenshots it shows as
Nightshark (frozen)

The two are mixed up, around the wrong way.

perhaps the tame appears above the "a horse" because its on the edge of the screen? also, the (frozen) appears under the name of the person casting the spell on here, not over it.. but i guess im kinda nitpicking

I think UOA is making those adjustments

I think the double tame messages were fixed Feb 23, 2000 ("Pet Changes"). Not that we need to replicate that!

Pack animals and horses will no longer say [tame] above them twice.

I couldn't seem to find any of people frozen while casting or paralyzed, but I verified frozen-while-casting on the demo is the same as these images.

with all this nitpicking we're really postponing major and important inaccuracy fixes dont you think guys?

yea i was at work when i posted this so i couldn't check, it's not important though, i thought the important thing was that it was wrong

derrick actually posted an era screenshot yesterday which made both of these things really obvious. i planned on checking it against UOSA but fell asleep and didn't end up playing - slow day at work so sifted through screenies

naw i wouldn't base anything off a UOA screenshot, i was using that screenshot entirely to double check against derrick's screenshot from yesterday (which i couldnt find). rammar found some evidence anyway

----------------------------

since the patch, i also noticed:
derrick patched in "you can't res here!" when you try to res on a blocked space (mob/item). this is currently doing 2 legitimacy checks, one upon being successfully cast/healed for a res, the second when you actually click "yes i would like to resurrect". you should only receive the check when you actually click "yes i would like to resurrect", i believe

and on mob agro:
mobs will agro you constantly, for example, if you're fighting a balron (which will find a new target every 0.5s or something), it's worse than trying to fight a dexer with his attacklast button held down. there is NO WAY you can tab out from the mob. im pretty certain this is not acc. it is a side effect of something derrick patched in to keep your character defending multiple mobs.

That's what bug trackers and priority levels are for.

(tame) has been known to appear above just about ever since Derrick changed it, demo backs this up along with a trillion screenshots.
