wasn't there also no spell book after lev 35 in classic/kunark era, way before it was removed completely?

yes, this is what i was trying to get at when said that most of us don't remember having to stare at the spell book during velious. it was still required in the game, but many of us had out lvl'd the need to do it by velious.

Damn so late ?, i didn't remember that.

Well i had great time leveling cleric with that book in my face. I remember trying to judge the number of frogs pulled by the sound of them haha.

If you neckbeards want to stare at your spellbooks while medding, just do it, and leave the rest of us out of it =P

Has nothing to do with personal taste...if Nilbog could figure out a way to make us do it then I think we would have it on here.

So if you had to look at the spell book, what happened in the velious UI?

The spellbook didn't totally cover the screen, depending on your resolution.

Might be possible to do something like.. if spellbook open, and player < 35, make the screen have blind effects (black), with the spellbook on top of it. Rogean had mentioned it might be possible. I do not think it will be possible to replicate the 'Meditate' button as it once was.

In August 2000, they removed the necessity of clicking the 'meditate' button while spellbook was open, and also removed the /meditate command. Meditating still required the spellbook to be open, prior to level 35.

Pre-35 spellbook meditating was removed altogether in 2002.

That being said.. the ability to use a Velious or earlier UI would natively resolve the issue.
