Updates 6-13-06

Misc bug fixes and tweaks, including:
Death Strike is now properly capped for PvP Damage
Something with parry where the check for using bushido or parry skill was off by like, half of one percent or something when you had >= 100 Bushido AND parry



Buff icons are now turned on with about half of them activated. The reason the other half of them isn't done is because they got boring

Lots of optimizations and stuff that you won't see at all from a player perspective but really pissed me off and were annoying to do.

Loading time after serverwars should be reduced about 25-50%ish.

Server maint. Windows update junk


To see the bufficons, be sure you're patched up the latest client as well as having them turned on in the client. (5.0.2b)

For any bugs, as always, see the FAQ post in General discussion for bug reporting guidelines and where to send 'em to.

Re: Updates 6-13-06

Update your client.

Client bug.

(as an aside, will be restarting to limit the buff icons away from those who have buggyful clients in a few minutes. But it's the CLIENT fault, not a server fault.)

Re: Updates 6-13-06

Funny, I was passing by the terathan keep with a client not supporting buff icons. The game has frozen but it's not my connection, so it has to be something with those icons.

I believe he is referring to the new buff/debuff section in the new UO client. When you update to the newest UO client, you get a buff/debuff gump that will show you exactly that. Buffs = Spells to buff up your character such as agility, strength, intellignece buffs as well as debuffs such as curse, feeblemind and such. Correct me if I'm wrong on this ^

Re: Updates 6-13-06

If you dont update your client, expect lots of lock ups and crashes....the new server update looks for the new buff gump and if its not displayed you lock up, because the defalt setting on the new server/client is to "on" and well if you havent patched it wont be there..duh....

Rofl. He doesn't mean Server Wars. He means the time AFTER Server Wars. Like, the time for it to reeboot.

I patched to last client, but after the serverupdate my Buff Gump disappeared. How can I turn it on again? I want to know, what this gump is for.

Reload as in...Reload the server to the previous state? Why would you want taht longer?

Re: Updates 6-13-06

i dont think he wants it... i think he was saying that the update caused it to be longer instead of its intended shortening. right?
