kill spamming

[jeremymcc]

is there anyway that UO can be modified so that text doesn't popup over the players while casting. it gets really annoying when people spam spells and a ton of text floods the screen. if the text can be removed that would be awesome, might even help reduce lag some.

Text doesnt affect lag... just reduce the length of time it stays on the screen and thats clientside.

That isn't 100% accurate.
For the text to apear the server need to send a packet to the client, that packet effect lag.
But it's something like dropping 1 drop of water into the ocean, while it have an effect, nobody ever notice it.

Daat99, you are semicorrect. The packet is sent to everyone within a certain radius of the person speaking (including the person themself). removing the words of power will prevent players from knowing what spell is being casted... I do not recommend this. Instead, just remove precasting

But to answer your question:

Spell.cs line 441:
SayMantra();

Get rid of that and it won't say the Mantra anymore.
