Display/Counter suggestion - RunUO

RealmUO_Spectre · 03-10-2006, 07:26 PM

Hello I have a suggestion that I believe many people would agree with as far as display/counters go.

For the image display in the title bar, that would be neat if you could choose two (2) item id's intead of one. Before you just exit the browser :P, let me give you the reason.

Lets take gold for an example. For razor to count it, you have to enter the itemid of 1 gold piece. This is barely visible in the status bar. That would be great if you could have one itemid to count, and one to draw.

What does everybody think? There probably could be an easier fix to this such as, when you add an itemid to draw, it draws that, but it counts whatever itemid has the same name, but is earlier. Sounds confusing but yeah :P.

Is there anything other than gold/silver that this would be useful for?

I can make a special case for gold and silver if thats the problem.

Also, I believe there may be a {gold} specifically for displaying your current gold amount in the bar, but I could be wrong.

I can think of one other situatuon where it may be useful.
a counter for a summon daemon scroll
using the graphic of the daemon statuette

You could similar things with other scrolls.

The uses definately seem limited though.

Why not just use the spellbook pics they have?

The {gold} 'tag' displays the amount of gold you have, however, it does not draw an image in the title bar.

Also, I know 'tithing points' is actually something that could be displayed too as the client keeps the number in memory. It could show a chivalry book. I know another 3rd party program (I don't know if I'm allowed to say the name) uses #tithingpoints or something.

Theres a {tithe} for the title bar also....

As for images....

you can do ~IXXXXHHHH or ~IXXXX~ in the titlebar to draw any UO art image you want. where XXXX is the ItemID of the image in HEX and HHHH is the item HUE in hex. Example:

a stack of gold would be ~I0EEC~
a golden chicken would be ~I20D10489

Try it out :-P

Do they up as the spell book icons?
I have never added a scroll counter to the title bar, I just assumed they showed up as the scroll graphic.

Crazy, this isn't in the mouse over. I will definately start using this.

It was in some really old directions though...

Fixes it all , thanks Zippy!

**Zippy** · 03-12-2006, 02:25 PM

That mouseover is already really big, so I try to keep less-often-used stuff off of it, to decrease clutter. Also, the description for how to use this is fairly long... so....

Anyways, you should dig around the forums because there are a few different things you can do with the titlebar that aren't really "documented"
