I mean, just before the server shuts down every day, you can't force everyone off the game early, save while it's still on, and then turn the server off? Because I noticed it saves like 15 minutes before it shuts down and anything done during that 15 minute span gets undone when the server is back up.

Unless the C# coders are buffoons this would never happen and we all know they are not. That is also why it warns of you A: A final save and B: The server is not going to save again.
Don't explain why they'd be buffoons or anything. It's not like I've played enough of other online games to know they save everything that's been done just before they shut down instead of everything but the last 15 minutes.

1.- Those SS really bring back memories!! I support the change to that font and color.

2.- The reason it saves and allows you to continue playing, as someone stated above, is to allow you a certian period of time to do something completely out of your nature in UO. Wanted to go kill innoncents that were farming, do it...you won't take counts. Want to see if a tower fits in that L-shape spot, do it, if it doesn't, nothing is lost; etc.

It is just basically messages change, it does not directly afflict on how the world itself saves. It simply makes it accurate to what OSI DID do. It's proven anyone can challenge this, I promise it is era accurate

Thanks. All I needed was the hue and font :wink:

Derrick I hope I was able to help out on that matter, I imagined it was something you were aware of and knew the procedure to correct it - did the hue and font actually come in handy? Hope so.

I just want to help - it is an honor to play on this shard to be quite honest. There is nothing like it and you are pretty much the shiz for doing all this. So anyway I can help - I am always here Comp Sci grad lookin to hone the skills.

Glad you added it - it really does bring the old world save feeling. A+ man, I like the revised code as well much more efficient.
