Hello! I recently found this wonderful community after deciding to get back into UO and emulation. I was a Counselor on Atlantic back in the 1999-2000 timeframe and briefly ran a private shard using RunUO circa 2003. Feels good to be back in game.

I'm in the process of setting up my shard, and am having a few issues with staff robes and titles. I didn't see a prior forum thread directly on point, so thought I'd post here for help.

My issues are twofold:

1. Owner Robe Hue
My goal is to have the following for my owner character:
  • White Staff Robe (ideally Hue 1153)
  • Gold trim on the robe visible in game and on paperdoll
  • Normal skin tone as set at character creation visible in game and on paperdoll
I have set the following in "Staff.cfg", and have changed all instances of the "Staff.Owner" hue in GMbody.cs from the default 1001 to 1153:

#General configuration for gmbody-command
Staffbody=True
UseColoring=True
GiveBoots=False
CutHair=True
CutFacialHair=False

#Coloring configuration
Owner=1153
Developer=1001
Administrator=1001
Seer=467
GameMaster=39
Counselor=3

Unfortunately, that causes my entire character, skin and all, to turn white in the game world after running the GMBody command, rather than just parts of the staff robe:

What I'm looking for is essentially the below - gold trim and normal skin tone in the game world - but with the grey parts of the robe white:

Appreciate any guidance on how to make that adjustment using the default files, if possible.


2. Staff Titles
Is there a way to get a title to appear before my character's name in the paperdoll? Back when I was a Counselor, my character's name read as "Counselor Lord [Name]" on the paperdoll. I can get the "Lord" part by setting my character's fame high enough, but wondered is there is a way to include a staff title before it.

Thank you for any guidance you can offer, and apologies if I'm missing guidance somewhere!
