Tinkering Menu

[Serpent]

I was looking over the patch notes and it looks like the updated tinkering menu was in during the period you're trying to replicate. All the other menus look to have come after the precast patch though.

This is from this sites wiki:

New tinkering menu, pets, auto-stacking, and more. May 25 1999 9:41AM CST

Skills
Tinkering
Tinkering will have a new menu with tabbed pages. We are testing out this menu style with this skill before adopting its use for all skills.
"Make Last Item" is now an option on the tinkering menu. Choosing this will simply try to make the last tinker item you made.
Tinker-crafted tools will now have durability based on the skill of the tinker who made the tool. In other words, a hammer made by a tinker with only 5 skill will last much less time than a hammer made by a grandmaster tinker.
Scales for weighing items are now a craftable item. You can double-click the scales and target an item to get its weight. (We know this isn't real useful, but thought shops might like this item for decorative purposes).
A new piece of art for tinkering tools will exist (and be craftable). It works exactly like the older piece of art, but is a lot easier to click on. The old piece of art will still be in use.
Traps will no longer work on ballot boxes.
Tinkered lockpicks will now stack correctly.
Both sorts of tinker tools will become craftable.
Tinkering is now difficulty-based. This means that some items will require a higher skill than others. Items you cannot make at all will not show up on your menus, and difficult items will fail more often than items that are easy for your skill level. You will get greater skill gains from making difficult items than easy ones.

Yeah, this is a really bizzare patch note and was the supject of much backroom discussion at one time. It's our firm belief that this never happened, and that the menus we currently use were in place at least until UO:R
