3 bugs I've been noticing lately

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.online (More info?)

1. The 6th character slot does not retain it's settings for text color -
the speech text keeps reverting to aqua or whatever color that is.

2. In the uo.cfg file the DefaultChar=5 does not work for selecting the
6th character - instead the first character is selected. I guess it rolls
over after the 5th char (DefaultChar=4).

3. Using Spiritual Journey by clicking on the rune book 'buttons' doesn't
seem to work correctly - the successes are much rarer that way than
casting the spell directly on a rune. Something is wrong there. However,
if you set the particular location to be default and cast the spell just
on the book, it works as expected.

I know others have experienced the first bug and reported it already. I
sent these three in myself just to be sure however. Hopefully someone at
uobugs@uo.com will pay attention to them.

3) happened when AOS first came out as well, IIRC?

Yup. It's a well known one but they seem to be taking their time figuring
out a fix.

Quite possible but I only noticed it with a new paladin character. My old
paladin just used recall mostly. The new one has no magery. (Paladins
really need mark and teleport. Or perhaps utility spells should just be
level 0.)
