Ice creatures

[a guy]

I've noticed that the ice creatures have no elemental damage. Stratics: "Special Abilities:Ice Aura that regularly damages any characters nearby and causes the elemental to switch target." Ice fiends, ice elementals, and snow elementals all have this ability. Also the lava serpent has a heat aura which does the same thing.

On an unrelated note I've noticed when I've supplied links in my posts the posts never get beyond awaiting approval.

Yea, The ice feinds and snow ele's did have that, but the ice ele's did not.

I will look into this soon, let me know if you have any documentation on this such as from archive.org; so I can fully implement it A.S.A.P. pretty sure I've seen this as well.

Just I want to point this one was demonstrated time ago to be true also in most recent OSI expansions, for sure in ML and SA (Stygian Abyss). Tested in OSI.

The list of creatures which should do heat/cold aura damage should be:

Fire Daemon
Fire Gargoyle
Ice Elemental
Ice Fiend
Lava Serpent
Phoenix
Snow Elemental
Succubus

I have already sent via IRC a link with much details to Nox, with the task to inform Ravenal about.

edit: now I realize we have no data about amount of damage, frequency of auras and aura range
This, if it's not documented somewhere, should be researched in OSI with 0 resists, assuming actual auras are identical to UO:R ones.

The information your getting is "post" UO Ren. Fire Deamons, and Succubi did not exist untill later. Also, the Ice elemental(the one that looks like an earth Elemental, just white) did not have the area of effect, only yhe snow ele and Ice fiends. They later gave the Ice ele the aura damage.

yep, as I said these info are taken during Pub59-60 :P

we are trying to mirror most content for UO:R from (some)Publishes 1-11. I will try and find some exact content to this as well and get it implemented.

Your efforts are most appreciated sir. I must say I know how hard it is to come by any "true" information regarding older versions of UO. With rare exceptions, most info is based on someones particular memory, or a patch post from stratics or osi. As far as precise spawn locations for a specific era, your simply not going to come across that info just floating around. It must be obtained from someone who has files that can only come from osi. We don't even want to talk about the legalities of that, lol.

:0 .. Any and every changes, implements, fixes, and patches are still in the uoguides, archives, and stratics. you just got to research it, theres ways around it and ways to do it.... just takes time, because even though you can't go directly to them, there are hidden, but still visible to the public if researched right and found, just takes time....

ADDON: they did this and hid the files because of indeed.... Free Shards / Servers....
