Get hue number

[Efanchenko_MM]

Would it be possible to add a [hue command so we could get the numbers of the hues we see or are wearing and forgot the numbers of them XD haha

[Coran Otto]

i don't think its necessarily a bad idea. only issue i foresee are players snatching hue numbers from staff members and guilds who have those hues reserved.

[Calan Caitin]

There is a little script for easy UO that does the same thing and I can get hues from staff or other guilds. Which, I look pretty silly wearing +Hina's girly colors. Not to mention that skirt rides up something horrible.

Hues that staff has or any guild has are off limits to anyone else. Read the signs in the hue room. If you know someone isn't in your guild and they have your hue report it. Same goes for people selling Hued items on vendors.

The GM of the guild does have that option; however most guild masters here don't seem to care either way about it. I know I have had people ask me if they could dye a pet or something my guild hue and I don't have issues with it.

[Ramious]

Taken from the codex

RULES FOR USING YOUR SPECIAL COLORS
Only guild members can use these special colors.
You cannot let others use them, you cannot sell items/pets dyed in special color. If a guild member leaves a guild, he must dye all of the specially dyed items/pets to their original color (either hue#0, or the hue of the metal/leather/wood).
If a guild is disbanded, all of the guild members must dis-dye their items/pets to their original color.
No penalties for breaking these rules for now, but if there's a lot of violations we may start by penalizing with gold/tokens/stats or deleting items.

why have rules if no one follows them.

[Calan Caitin]

why have rules if no one follows them.

And again I say, I don't care if someone wants to use my guild color. I am the one that paid the 12 mil to have the color registered and for all the dye tubs. If I want to let others use the color then that should be at my discretion.

You paying for the hue doesn't mean you don't have to follow the rules.

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I however think me paying for exclusive rights to a hue should give me the right to say who can use it. Whether they be in my guild or not. Just as it gives me the right to tell someone that is using it they need to change the color. Beyond that, I will just agree to disagree with you. Buh bye.

[Efanchenko_MM]

TBH Ramious is right, BUT why go off my post I created it was to solely ask staff if there would be a command added for players to use to get the hue # if they see one.

What would be nice if it could tell us if the colour we choose is off limits or not

[whathue

Hue 1157, This hue is not avalible for personal use

OR

[whathue

Hue 1157, This is a public hue

or something like that.

[fingers]

One thing that I noticed is that all hues in the game are there. So in theory, if we had as many guilds as there are hues, we would need to have only one color on everything we own(or have it uncolored): house, armor, weapon, etc. For an example, the blueish-yellow that is used for etheral leather is available in the hue room. Technically, if a guild choses this color, then all etheral leather armor needs to be dyed. Same for platinum or any other color of material. An other example is the vroak ruler shroud that i have since two years and that i have always kept the original color. It is a collection peice imo because vroak ruler shroud can't be aquired in game anymore. But the color of the shroud (Malachai wears it in the crypts) is now reserved to a guild. So technically, they could see me pass with my vroak ruler shroud and ask me to change its color.

[Ramious]

Sorry to run on your post. what i was getting at is staff has a [get hue command and that would lead to what i was saying anyone that wanted a hue that was taken could find the number out and then use it.

And Fingers i see what you said as true also. but if you have an item that is old as that staff would be able to check it and rule that it was before the guild took that hue.

But the other thing was guilds know and agree to the rules set before they take the hues and to say that they don't have to follow them is just wrong. But that's in the hands of staff to catch that.

[Melkor]

I think having such a tool to be able to tell you if a hue is taken is great. I unknowingly choose +chaos's hue when i first started. Staff were good about it, but wish i never got started on it in the first place because i really really liked it.

This business about guild hues. Well, my understanding is that staff do not enforce this rule, (only when it comes to their own colours). For me personally, I don't like it when non-guildies use my guild colour, but at the same time, i'm not the kind of person to run around barking at people demanding they change their hues. That's not who I am, that's not what my guild is all about. I think its like an unwritten rule (althu it is written) that if you see that your hue is a guild hue then you find a new one. Since seemingly it is up the the person, at least letting them know, by way of this idea would be a great idea. Most people don't want to take a guild hue, but after unknowingly taking it, getting used to it and dying 10+ items that colour, understandably, they may not be keen on switching.

On a side not about naturally occurring colours. Without mentioning any names, "a guild" was recently chasing and harassing a new player for having a naturally occurring item that was their hue. C'mon guys, this is bad for the shard and make you guys look like wicked jerks.

So yea, please make this tool if you have the time, i think its a great idea.

Thank You

Melkor

Actually, we do enforce the rule if you page us with any question that someone may have that hue. We re-hue their items for them if its true that they do in fact carry the same as your guild but we ask nicely. However, we cant possibly know or pay close enough attention with all the colors, what color belongs to a certain guild and that is why you should page for help.
Sometimes people can almost match your color and still be a # away from yours (ex yours is 1000 and they might have 1001) but unable to see just looking.

[Ramious]

Isn't that what the hue room is for to make sure a hue is open to take?
