    Hello UOR!

    There was some discussion in IRC about adding the gold counter to the title bar, and how to get the image of a pile of gold rather than a single gold coin that Razor normally displays when using the {gold} counter.

    Before we start, I will quickly explain why a single coin appears when you target a pile of gold coins.

    When targeting gold, Razor comes up with an item ID of 3821. While this is the correct ID for counting purposes, it is not the correct image ID.

    To get the image ID we are looking for, you will have to download InsideUO from the following link:

    http://uo.stratics.com/heptazane/insideuo/

    After extracting the zip file and starting the program, you are presented with this screen:

    On the left side of the screen click the ARTWORK button to bring up a grid of (you guessed it) UO artwork, then right click somewhere in the grid and select Find by Name:

    Type the name of the object you are looking for and hit OK:

    As you can see below, this brings us to the single gold coin...with the same incorrect ID!:

    Fear not! A pile of gold coins lurks nearby! Clicking on the pile will reveal the true identity you are looking for!

    However, we don't want the item ID of the gold pile (3823), we are here for the image ID, which is contained in the parentheses. Specifically, we are going to be using only the EFF part.

    Now that we have the correct image ID, get into the display/counters tab in Razor, and paste the following text into the title bar format section:

    Note the EEF. The next bit, #000000, is the color of the text in the title bar. Congratulations, your title bar should now contain a pile of gold!

    Oh cool, I didn't know razor would display them by their mul numbers. I thought you had to set a counter to get them working.

    Yup! In fact, you don't even need to add a counter at all. If for whatever reason you want to add the image of a cow to your title bar, putting

    In the title bar format box with give you this:

    You can spice things up a little and change the color of the images as well...

    The above will give you a gold plated cow!

    Or use this

    To get a spell book next to your mana counter:

    I remember getting crap for posting how to do this on another server 2 years ago. Glad there's people out there that do appreciate this sort of thing. ;)

    I just added a whole bunch of Moustache art to my title bar, in honor of Wise of $$$ guild (not the fake "wise" here).
