Belxan's UO Auto-Map - "It's just like UO's radar map (only better)!"

UO Auto-Map (UOAM for short) is a supplement to UO's radar map. You could call it a kind of GPS for UO.

It's a utility that displays a portion of Ultima Online's map. The map can be scaled, tilted to match UO's orientation, labeled and configured in a number of different ways. You can even link up with your friends and have UOAM keep track of their locations as well.

Setting up UOAM

Displaying the map

In order for the map to display properly, you will need to direct the UOAM file location to your client's folder

Map > UO client data files location... > insert location of your client folder

Calibrate the map (Track your player location)

1. Find out your current location within the client (Pangaea)

   Write the .where command in the UO client, it will print the numbers into your journal

   Be sure to not move your character while calibrating

2. Disable player tracking in UOAM

   left-click the map and unckeck Track Player

3. Go to current location within UOAM

   Places > Go to location... > enter the numbers you got from the .where command on Pangaea

4. Get UOAM to display current position

   Map > check Show cursor Coordinates

   now you can see the coordinates displayed in the upper left corner of the map.

5. Calibrate the UOAM map with current location

   UO > calibrate > enter the current cursor coordinates > click OK

   example: 15o 45'S 5o 50'E becomes 15 deg 45 min S, 5 deg 50 min E

Tracking your friends (Link to server)

In order to be able to track your friends within the game, you will need to be linked to the same UOAM server.

1. Open the Link Controles on the control panel in UOAM (there are two ways)

   Map > Additional Settings... > open the Link tab

   or you can left-click the map > Link > Link Controls

2. Enter the details for Name, IP, Port and Password

   "Name" is your character name, it will display on the map and in the chat
