UO Second Age

I recently was able to find how to run Razor and connect to UOSA using the latest version of Ubuntu.

First, you're going to need to install WINE and winetricks if you haven't already.
WINE: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
winetricks: Next, run the following commands to prep WINE for Razor: Now you will need to download and install the client and Razor. Go ahead and run Razor; if it doesn't work, run Updater.exe located in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Razor/ first. At this point, the port box will be greyed out. You're going to have to login and create a character on one of the UOG servers. Log out, quit the game, then hop back on your terminal: Navigate to HKEY_USERS>S-1-5-4>Software>Razor and edit the LastServer value to uosecondage.com and the LastPort value to 2593.
Now when you run Razor you will be able to input the IP (uosecondage.com) and port (2593) and play on UOSA!

I have to wine the razor updater everytime I run UO. If I wine razor.exe it crashes everytime.

Have you followed all the steps above? Also, rm'ing the Razor folder and reinstalling might help.

works like a charm...thanks!

This works flawlessly on Ubuntu 9.10 also...

Only difference is I used Synaptic Package Manager to install Wine and Winetricks.

Pristiq,

I was browsing through Wine's application database. They have no documentation on how to get Razor working under Ubuntu/Linux. Thought you'd like to know.

My razor issues reported: http://www.runuo.com/forums/razor-cutti ... ances.html

I have heard people having the same problem with the updater in windows also, i'm not sure this is a wine issue.

To fix your always on top issue, you want to go into the folder you installed Razor to.
(ex. find ~/.wine/drive_c/games/Razor/Profiles)
In the Profiles folder there are .xml documents containing razor settings for each account profile. The profiles are saved on disk as <accountname>.xml.
(ex. orionsune.xml). Open your account profile's .xml with your favorite text editor and find the property
Change the value "True" to "False"
You may want to make sure you have this set to False in the default.xml files also.

The Ubuntu write up looks good. Should I do one for Arch linux (what I'm currently using) as soon as I reformat my comp?

Ye I know this, I am referring to UOPS. UOPS is always on top by default right?

Yeah that would most welcome... besides your original instructions inspired me to pick that old project up...

now to write a PERL script to log in and refresh my house

Here's my story. I installed it on my Asus laptop (running windows), them I copied the folders "Razor" "Ultima Online" and "UOAM" to a pen drive. Put the pen on my asus eee running eeebuntu 9.04, run the console codes. Started razor to add it to the registry. Manually specified everything (client, data folder, server and port), exit, run the updater, run Razor and click ok and I'm in

See you on Brittania
