Request: UOAM Support!
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:11 am
Okay, so clearly the owner of UOAM has decided to let the program go. Well, it's stated so on his site anyway. 
Should you, upon installing, encounter an error informing you that not all of UOAM was installed, then follow these directions to fix the issue!
1) If you still have UOAM installed, go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Find UOAM and REMOVE it.
2) If you still have the install file handy, use it and reinstall. If not, <a href="http://uoam.net/uoam.html#downloads">click here</a>, and re-download the file and reinstall it.
3) Upon completion of the installation, it will provide a gump asking you if you wish to run UOAM at least once in order to buffer the maps, etc. CLICK CANCEL!!!
4) Once you click cancel, download (if you have not done so already), the UOAM.zip file. You can download that <a href="http://uoam.net/files.html">here</a>.
5) Meantime, go to the directory in which you installed UOAM. Delete EVERYTHING!
6) Once the .zip is downloaded, extract it into the same directory. In the event it asks you to replace already existing files, do not panic, just click "Yes To All". Whenever you delete one of the .map files, it immediately converts itself into a .bak (a backup version of the .map)
7) Once the .zip is extracted, open UOAM, let it run its "update" (despite the update server being no longer available), then click Continue and get right into UOAM.
=========================
In the event, after installation and opening of UOAM, you only see a black screen and are not able to see the map itself, please follow these instructions:
1) Click on the "Map" tab at the top of the screen, and click on "UO Client Data Files Location", this will pop open a gump.
2) Once the gump opens, immediately check and see what directory UOAM is currently using. MOST times it's incorrect. If it's anything other than your Excelsior directory, or UO directory (if you have the OSI version installed), then you've most likely found you're problem.
3) At this point, you need to open up your UO Excelsior file directory, most commonly installed as: C:\Program Files\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard, and copy and paste that link into the UO Client Folder box on that gump in UOAM.
4) You will see a check box at the top of the gump asking if you want to: Have UOAM locate client date files for you". Make sure that you UNCHECK this box. Click okay and you should be all set.
****I'll continue to update this post with more solutions to UOAM as they come along. Thanks to everyone who has made an effort to help with this thread!
