what is the deal with uoam?

[SixUnder]

i just bought well built a new sysytem from scratch and when i download UOAm it doesnt complete and get all the files. or it will say thats ok and try to set up performance settings and crash. iv never got it to say more than 2 out of 6 files have been downloaded.

iv removed all files from my pc, dblckd my firewall, reinstalled even from a zip file still wont patch. is it cause of all the new data in the elf and garg dungeons?

keep getting downloaded 1 out of 6 or 2 out of 6 or like just now 0 out of 4

help? i even just went to my old pc were uoam was allready installed and it is trying to update and download i would imagine garg stuff.. cause its been awhile since i been in game. so help? please?

If you're using Windows Vista, you'll need to right click and run as administrator.

two more things, you have to use UOA with UOAM and when you go to use it it will ask to update maps [after getting passed UOA] just click ok and then cancel or each map update or UOAM will crash.

Does any one have the post Pit had on the Siege board be fore stratics crashed how to make the maps work in the SE lands I remember you had to change a few numbers in the geek code. and what do you change to make it work in the gargoyle lands the new dungeon sucks with out having a map.

it never did this to me in all my years of playing i upgrade my system and then its like a bomb went off in it when it comes to uoam.

my other 2 systems, older and ancient as they may be allready have uoam installed etc. played it for years on them.. i opened map on them recently and it done the same thing. LOL i was gonna copy the file and email it to my other system or just network it.

im really at a loss, this no uoam wont do.

The expansion broke UOAM (and UOA too a bit).

 

[SixUnder]

so is anyone using uoam now? or is there ways around it then?

 

[Kiwillian]

As was said, you can just cancel the map updates and it should continue to work (without the new lands, of course).

 

[SixUnder]

well that just sucks

ya go to ter mur and cant see anything, lol

since i am just back to the game this is really gonna suck:>

The tweak for making it work with SE was to change byte 00008C21 from 18 to 1C.

But I still haven't been able to find the original thread...was hoping it would offer some clues on how to make it work for the SA lands...

Tip: No need to click all the yes/no buttons. Just press escape whenever a prompt comes up. Saves a bit of the pain.

 

[Kiwillian]

The pain will hopefully be ending soon

Ermmm...in a good way or bad way? Share pls

 

[Kiwillian]

Good, I hope lol

Uninstall UOAM completely. Reinstall it. Do NOT let it update ANYTHING. When it asks you which map files you want to manage choose NONE of them. When it tells you that the map files need to be re-written click CANCEL for every facet.

UOAM works fine for me and everyone else I know if you follow these steps. For areas that UOAM doesn't have a map for (SA) it will still work but will show your location as somewhere in Britannia.

I should note that this is on Windows XP, but there should be no difference with other versions.

so is anyone using uoam now? or is there ways around it then?

Just use the new client which have a build in map much like UOAM.
Once you get used to the slighty different graphics you will find that the new client is far superior... I used nothing but the new client since I returned and Ill never go back to the old 2d client

This is how I was able to get UOAM to work with SA.
Not sure if it will help or work for anyone else, but for me - after reading informational thread data from many people including Crysta, Harlequin and SevinOooO this is what worked, and I have been able to use -

Update InsideUO to display 'Stygian Abyss' Map
I used info from this thread ~
http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=152302&highlight=insideuo


Use updated InsideUO and save a copy of the Full "Map of Stygian Abyss"
the file saved as "Full.BMP" and was 1280 x 4096 in size


In the UOAM folder
Make a copy of Large Felucca Map used by UOAM
I Used the file named "MAP0-1.BMP" and it's size is 7168 x 4096
rename the copy as "MAP0-X1.BMP"


Open the 'Stygian Abyss' exported map "Full.bmp" ( I used Paint ), and "copy" the entire map data (Edit/Copy)
Open "MAP0-X1.BMP"
Paste copied data from "Full.BMP" into "MAP0-X1.BMP" ( Edit/Paste )
This pasted data will only occupy the leftmost (1280 x 4096) portion of map
Save the file


Make resized copies ( I used irfanview ) of "MAP0-X1.BMP" and save the resized copies with these file names -
3584 x 2048 = "MAP0-X2.BMP"
1792 x 1024 = "MAP0-X4.BMP"
896 x 512 = "MAP0-X8.BMP"


Use UOAM and when you are in Abyss/TerMur/Underworld, manually select
World = Felucca
Map = X-Ray View

Ahhh I understand what you are doing, you are a genius! Gonna try this out

There is a beta version for uoam, which includes all of the new worlds, when it asks you to update, do click cancel however, after that, under the map tab, click felucca map performance settings, then click ok, do the same for the other facets, then it will never ask you again, then you have uoam working fine with all the new maps.
