sta for endurance, is disabled. The yellow bar .. how does that work?

Well, let's call it endurance for clarity's sake - it was changed from the "stamina bar" to the "endurance bar" post Luclin for that reason.

Only a couple endurance mechanics are working on P99 afaik - jumping depletes endurance, and disciplines deplete endurance. Stamina and endurance aren't related at all, but strength and endurance are - if your endurance falls below 100, your strength decreases. This mechanic is not working on P99, probably because there isn't enough info about how the str reduction is calculated.

Swimming and autoattack are also supposed to deplete endurance - these mechanics are not working on P99 for the same reason. Autoattack is supposed to deplete endurance per swing based on the weapon's weight. Some people cringe at this, but it's not really that big of a deal - you'll still be able to attack once you fall below 100 endurance, you'll just have less str and you won't be able to jump or disc. This would also give the Invigor/Yaulp line spells a purpose.

So falling below 100 endurance is supposed to decrease strength, make you unable to jump, and unable to use disciplines. There is some speculation that falling below 100 endurance also prevents the use of combat abilities like bash, but I played a paladin into the 50s on live from '99 until Kunark and I don't ever recall being unable to bash. Being hungry prevents you from regenerating endurance.
