Hues Issue

Post by Kimo »

I just installed the client and followed the steps to install the current hues file (Hues3c1) but I think it's not working. I went to the hues room and nearly all the statues look unfinished and a few are just black. At the teleporter, the whole row 4 south is black as well as some on the same row east (2514-2520). And hue / statue 2472 is invisible with a light black outline.

I also tried putting the hues file in the AssistUO folder as it helped someone earlier with Razor; it didn't work. Nor does it work running the client direct without a 3rd party launcher.

Any ideas how to fix this? Or are the colors showing correctly for me?

1. You installed the hue file the right way into the uo folder. Those statues are those hues.And the 2472....It is just same color as the ground so it is blending in.

Do not worry your hued up correctly if the rest are colored right.

Kimo already mentioned that they had downloaded the updated hue file, so I don't think that will help them much =P

Kimo - A few thoughts:
- A lot of the statues in the hue room *are* actually black - this is because inside the hue file there are gaps between where there are hues, so some hue ranges have nothing in them, and thus show up completely black. Example: hues 2278-2384 are hueless, and will be entirely black. Likewise for 2514-2520, and so on. I'd check the hue room with your current setup to verify you're even seeing anything incorrectly in the first place :)

If you are seeing things incorrectly after all, you can try these:
- Make sure you are fully logged out of UO and all UO-oriented programs. This means the game itself, assistuo, etc. Then copy the hue file into your UO directory again.
- Make sure you're installing the hue file to the correct UO directory. Many people have more than one directory and you'd be surprised how frequently someone has this problem but simply put the new files into the wrong directory.
- Make sure you are using OUR prepatched client, not anything else.

Thank you for the help! :)

Based on what you've said, it seems I did everything correctly. I guess all the colors are supposed to be all the those colors then, hehe. I just assumed my hues wasn't working due to the shading on so many statues, it just seemed they are incomplete (like hue 2437 & 2464). That flourescentness to me seemed incomplete.
