Off Topic / My new smartphone - App suggestions
« on: February 09, 2012, 07:59:35 AM »
Is a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (ATT) and it absolutely rocks. Glad I went with this one.
There's a site that does phone battles 1v1. I put this phone against about everything available and it kicked butt.
So, what apps do everyone use? What are the top apps, the ones that you couldn't live without?

UO Client Modifications/Tools / How to keep using EUOX when there is a patch
« on: February 02, 2012, 06:29:07 AM »
This works *sometimes* not always. It all depends on the patch.
The current client is 7.0.23.1 after this latest super fast patch.
Go to the directory that has your UO files. Normally it's something like C:\program files\ea games\ultima online
When you get into that directory find a file named Client.exe
Now copy that file, you can paste it right into the same directory. I make a folder called "Backup" and put the copies in there.
Rename the copied Client.exe to 7.0.23.1
Do this EVERYTIME there's a patch. You can tell what the current version is by loading UO and looking at the bottom of the login screen. Every time there is a patch do this. This way you'll start having a bunch of older clients saved.
Now, lets say that we're on client 7.0.23.1 and EUOX has already been patch. Everyone is super happy joy joy scripting away. Evil OSI patches to a new version 7.0.23.2... hisssssss... and lazy azz Cheffe is too busy gardening to bother with updating EUOx. What do we do??
Well, *if* we didn't stop the patch in time, or it's a mandatory patch, we normally have to wait it out. Now is the time to be thankful you backed up previous clients.
Just rename the current Client.exe (which is now version 7.0.23.2) to something like Client70232. Find that older version of the client that you backed up before and renamed to 7.0.23.1 and copy it back into the main UO directory and rename it to Client.exe
*Sometimes* that is all it takes and you can happily use the older version of EUOx. When Cheffe finally gets around to updating EUOx you can just remove that version of the Client.exe and rename the already patched one back to Client.exe and your good to go.
If I had posted this a few days ago you all would happily be scripting away right now like I am
*BTW: don't even ask if we will host these files. They are the exclusive property of Mythic and it's against the law to alter or maintain them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you maintaining older version, but we can not host them.

Television/Movies / Bobcat rocks
« on: January 28, 2012, 07:53:13 PM »
Please note: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MATURE LANGUAGE. Not much, but you are warned.
Bobcat really puts this together. I'm definitely checking this one out.

Off Topic / Which smartphone should I get?
« on: January 28, 2012, 03:51:29 PM »
Pick up to three top choices. If you select "Other" please post a reply with your unlisted choice.
The phones are listed in alphabetic order.
BTW, the HTC Freestyle I got myself for Christmas should be called the HTC "Oops, system error" because I see that on screen more than anything else. It's a BREW OS phone that brewed too darn long if you ask me. Between resets and reboots it's pretty cool LOL, unfortunately that's not much operational time.

After reviewing the videos in this post I've found that many contain MATURE 17+ material.

UO Reference Information / How to imbue Bestial Armor for a dexxer?
« on: January 13, 2012, 05:02:22 AM »
I'd sure like to see how others have imbued this up.
40 LMC is a must.
Max HPR is desirable.
70/75/70/75/75 would be awesome.

UO Client Modifications/Tools / Client Art Patcher
« on: January 12, 2012, 07:05:48 AM »
Does anyone want to pick this up?
Kalaka hasn't been logged in since Oct, and wasn't keeping updated prior to that.
It would be killer to have someone pick this up.
I'd say as a starting point for changing graphics:
Static tiled fields.. Fire - orange, Poison - Green, Para - White, Energy - Purple
Bolas - Changed to the color teal where it was brown
Various Trees/Gravestones - all changed to stumps to denote blocking terrain.
Traps - highlighted plus made easier to tell tile.
Wall of Stone shortened
Other things might include changing Dragon graphic to Blackthorne, etc...

Jokes! / The Train Ride
« on: January 10, 2012, 09:57:50 AM »
A man and a woman, who have never met before, find themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, the two are tired and fall asleep quickly...he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, he leans over the side and gently wakes the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replies. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!!" he exclaims.
"Good," she replies. "Get your own damn blanket!"
After a moment of silence, he farted.

Jokes! / The explaination
« on: January 10, 2012, 04:51:58 AM »
The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and she was upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce right away!'
And the husband replied, 'Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell you what happened.'
'Go ahead,' she sobbed,' but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!'
So the husband began -- 'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car.
I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days.
So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight. The poor thing devoured them in moments.
Since she needed a good clean-up, I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them away.
Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't wear because you say they are too tight.
I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't wear because I don't have good taste.
I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't wear just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don't wear because someone at work has a pair the same.'
The husband took a quick breath and continued - 'She was so grateful for my understanding and help that as I walked her to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said...
'Please . . . Do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?'
And the husband replied, 'Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell you what happened.'
'Go ahead,' she sobbed,' but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!'
