UOCartographer beta (new UOAM) [0.9.8.0 Dec 17, re-read OP first]
- Thread starter Kiwillian
- Start date
- Watchers 42
One thing I do not understand, is WHY we cannot get a built-in Map thing (in UO clients that is) that has the functions players enjoyed from UOAM or UOCartographer.
I mean, why is it that UO needs players to develop things which help players play the game better ?
Can't it be Ultima Online that has them BY DEFAULT in the clients ?

Taken from the UOC FAQ: http://vboards.stratics.com/showpost.php?p=1670284&postcount=663
Hope it helps - which client are you using? What OS are you using?
You are using UO Assist right? This is required for it to track you using the Classic Client. You do not need to use the paid version, the free/trial version of UOA will work just fine, but you MUST use it or it will never work.
From the FAQ:
Where may I download UOC?
You may download the latest UOCSetup.exe version from the following URL: http://uocartographer.com
After installing UOC and you run it for the first time it will build the maps. This may take a few minutes. If this fails for some reason, right click on the map window and choose Options and make sure the paths to the client and the client selection are correct. You may need to restart it if you do this.
After the maps have been built you should be good to go. In 2D/Classic you must be running UOAssist for it to track you. In the EC you will need to copy MapWindow.lua from the installation directory to your <EC path>/User Interface/<skin name>/Source/ directory. There are more details in the ReadMe.txt file.

Yeah me either, then I noticed an extra space between http:// & the rest.
This should work: http://13.photobucket.com/albums/v429/ktylu/UO100812-233643-40.jpg
I have offered all the help I have. I does appear that UOA is running, but the picture does not show much other than it not working.
Hopefully someone will come along with better suggestions.

Data Execution Prevention is keeping me from downloading this I've messed around with it to try and add it but simply can't seem to bypass this. Any suggestions?
SixUnder, I wish that had worked for me. I'm using EC. I have also tried everything. And when I connect to my guild's server, I can see everyone else! But it shows me in Trammel (I am not, since I am on Siege) and it shows me at Brit Castle.
I have copied the .lua file into the unzipped, created "Default" folder in the proper SA path. I run UOC as Administrator. I have tried it with "Use EC Maps" checked and unchecked. When it is unchecked I get a black screen. When it is checked, it shows me at Brit Castle in Tram.
What else can I try?

Try using the Copper or Stone Enhanced mod. Works great for me.
Um, sorry. Don't know what you are talking about.

Hmmm... well, a Mod is a module that changes the basic user interface of the Enhanced Client - changes the look, can add timers, lots of other options.
Basic description can be found here

Installing a Mod:

Downloading popular Mods

I too use a "mod" with the Enhanced Client, Dermott's Stone Enhanced in fact. Like the requirement of UOA with the Classic Client the Enhanced Client requires the the use of the lua bit (as you have already figured out) to get UOC to function properly. I have found that using a mod ensures it works properly for me. If nothing else perhaps one of the modders could assist you in getting it to work without using a full mod?
Good luck!
To get Cartographer to work properly with the Enhanced Client you do need to install a mod. You can install it separately, but it also comes included with Copper/Stone Enhanced, Lucis Interface, and I would expect the legacy mod as well.
I plug the box and screen in. Color match the keyboard and mouse to the spots on the back of the box. The screen and cable square peg and round hole so they go where they fit. Power On.

Have you fully updated all of your versions of the .Net Framework for your version of Windows?

I checked, and I didn't have the latest version. So I updated it to 4.0 and I"m still getting the same error.
I tried going through this thread to find answers but with so many posts it's hard to find an answer anywhere.

I think the ones you need to make sure are up to date are 1, 2 and/or 3. Just make sure you've done all your .NET Framework Windows updates, and if you are in the habit of hiding updates that don't interest you, check all those as well and make sure you have them all.

All updated and still no luck 
Downloaded UOC last night to see if the latest version of it would run on my system. No joy.
I am running a fully updated XP Pro service pack 3 and using the CC with UOA. I tried it as Administrator. The pic is the error it gives.
*************************
Manually installed Netframework 1.1 & 2 from my hard drive which solved the problem above.
Following problem of the startup display appearing with a 4 or 5 line error window behind it was solved by manually installing Netframework 3.0, 3.5, & 4.0 from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/cc378097.aspx
UOC now starts and hangs updating fellucca map.
Back to skimming 770 odd posts.
***************************
Did a reset to give it a fresh start.
This time did not start UO CC first.
Started UOC & when it wanted to do the maps it started with the Tram map and went through the process fine. It's now running in the corner of the screen.
Now to see how it likes the CC & UOA.

Opened the UOC options window. checked the CC client selection and let the maps rebuild. Wound up with an all black map.
Re-opening the UOC options window, I found the client choices unchecked and left them that way. Doing a map rebuild brought back a normal map.

Kwillian, i should have posted this long ago, but a fantastic job on the new cartographer, i have been using it since you released it.
I was quite concerned for the future of uo's navigation system when uoam went down, thankfully you were prepared and volunteered. For this I salute you!
I would like to address and issue i am having with connecting multiple players for guild use, and im not seeing many replys in regards to linking players togather.
Would you please add a section in this post detailing what to do for guilds that wish to connect up on the map please?!
Tyvm for your time and hard work!

Alas Kiwi has been MIA most of this year. The only info we have on this subject (aside from other users experience and suggestions) is this:

Hope that helps!

This may have been fixed in UOA by now (maybe not), but Kiwi has not made any updates or responses since the end of last year/beginning of this year.
Ok thought id give this a try, loved UOAM back in the day and wanted to try this out.
Using EC on Win7 64bit
Installed fine as an admin.
When it tried to build maps i get this message:
Error!
Something had some of the client files locked!
Please close all UO related applications and restart UOC.
I have tried builign maps with UO running and with UO not running no luck anywhere.
Any suggestions?

OK - I haven't exactly tested this, I don't know if it will work and I suggest you do it at your own risk....
Disclaimer ended.
There is a registry key for UOCartographer, you might try uninstalling the program, and then the deleting the key from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Management\ARPCache\UOCartographer 0.9 Then try reinstalling.

Is there any way that UOCartographer can accommodate more than one server? I'm in guilds on different shards and Ventrilo allows me to change servers to suit, but I can't find how to do that in UOCart. Any help?
Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM)
Having issues, this might have been solved elsewhere but as there's pages of posts, I didn't take the time to look through it all. I'm sorry. =[
Okay, so. I've downloaded Cartographer. Check. The maps wouldn't load upon opening the program, so I went in and set compatibility mode and ran as administrator. Check. Reset the path to the folder where the maps are located. Check. Went into the options and hit rebuild and restarted. The maps have now loaded, but it doesn't seem to be following me. My screen is black with a corner of water when I'm standing in Luna bank. I am running in Windows 7. What am I doing wrong? =[

Re: UOCartographer beta, now available! (new UOAM)
Okay so, I found out my problem. I didn't realize UOA needed to be running. Now that I have it running, the maps are working and tracking. HOWEVER. Cartographer is stuck in Ilshenar no matter which facet I am in. Tried restarting the map, tried rebuilding maps, tried restarting Cart and UOAM. When connecting to server, I'm being tracked but it shows me in the other facets to other members as well. Any ideas on how to get it to switch facets?
Oh, and even when I manually switch, it just throws me back into Ilshenar. If I switch and restart map without moving, it will restart in whatever facet I selected.

ok i know this is probably gonna be easy for someone to help me, but here it goes. I am tryin to install the UOCartographer on my computer and i can download it and install it, but then i open it and it says there is no maps so I click ok to retreive the maps, and it says this may take a while. Then it goes to converting maps box. The i get an error box the box says,
ERROR!
Something had some of the client files locked!
Please close all UO related applications and restart UOC.
I dont think I have UOAM installed anymore, I have been trying to figure this out for about three days now, HELP ME im going crazy.
Thanks in advanced

By chance are you using Windows Vista or 7? If so trying running UOC in admin mode. (right click the icon you use to launch UOC and chose "run as administrator.") Let us know if that does the trick.
Good luck -
ok i tried to run as admin and it gave me the same message as before, its like it will go through a few maps and then it will stop and give me the error message i mentioned before, I am running windows vista home version on my PC. any other ideas?
Thank you again
Thank you again
ok here is a little closer details on what its doing to me, I open the program and it tells me cannot locate all maps, then click ok to generate the maps, i click ok and then it tells me that UOC client cannot find the client files, then i click ok and then it comes up
error
cannot find maps, make sure that the client pathes are correct,
anyone able to elaborate on this?
Thanks in advance

I have multiple accounts. According to Tugsoft I have to have a key or seed for each account or they can accually ban my accounts. Will I be able to use the trial without getting in trouble. And if so is that just on one account or can i it on all my accounts.

I'm no programmer, so maybe I'm off here but it seems to me that a lot of work was put into this lovely prog and for the developer to just up and forget about it just after release seems a bit odd to me. Basically what I'm getting at is I hope everything in his world is running smoothly. It just seems suspect to me.
Ok Basara or whoever this may be a stupid ? but i started to download uoassist my background went black my uo log on screen was age of shadows and a box came up wanting info like how many regeants i have in my pack. It just seemed to weird. So i unistalled it. My ? is 1) Was that normal. 2) Is there a way i can bypass uoassist. 3) If there is a way can u talk me thru it. At this point everything works on uocart except coordiance and showing where my character is. I am using Vista 2d client.
