Razor
Razor
Requirements:
Razor, is basically UOAssist, only free and, well seeing as I’ve never really used UOA I can’t give an honest comparison, but stuff it! IT IS BETTER! Almost everyone uses it (that isn’t a reason to use it), and you may/will be left behind and disadvantaged if you don’t use it. It contains the following great features:
- a Dress/Undress feature, with different bags for different dresses (allowing you to change into many different suits with much ease)
- Multiple Organizer agents, so you can put all your reagents/loot in a chosen bag
- Filter some messages and get rid of selected sounds (weather, bard, spirit speak, backpack)
- An advanced macro system (in comparison to normal clients) which allows you to record your actions and replay them
- Screenshot Capture (automatically capture screenshots on your death/anyone else)
- Video Capture! you can now record videos and share them with others
- A targeting system (last target, target self, target random blue/grey/red etc)
- a few more things that I really cannot be fucked listing…

Razor, in itself, is very self explanitory. But I will try to explain some of it's features anyway:
General tab, you should use a Profile
(bottom right) with the same name as each of your characters, and maybe a small description (i.e. Fabron - Blacksmith) if you use all your characters with the same name.
Opacity means the transparency of the Razor window (so you can see what it is blocking).
The Filters are the annoying parts of Ultima Online that you can selectively.. well... Filter out! I would get rid of spell fizzle sound, weather and bards music if I were you
but it's all up to you!
Options tab. Change the Razor Message Hue to something weird (like yellow) so you can identify your own razor messages from all the other system messages. and make sure you check the "Override Spell Hues" box and leave it, since this identifies all the good and bad spells for you so you get a general idea of what kind of spell is coming
. Also another handy feature would be the "Open New corpses within [ ] tiles" feature, I have mine set to 2 since otherwise it tries to open corpses too far away, thus muddling spells and other things.
MAKE SURE YOU TURN THIS FEATURE OFF DURING CHAMPION SPAWNS, IS IT BAD!!!!!
More Options, Set the Auto-Queue Object Delay to 850ms, or whatever is good for you depending on your ping (find out your ping at bottom of post)
Display/Counters
This is probably most handy for mages, but I use it also on my crafter to count ores and shovels.
My current setup is like this:
{crimtime}{statbar}{hp}/{hpmax} {stam}/{stammax} {mana}/{manamax} {weight}/{maxweight}|{bp}{bm}{gl}{gs}{mr}{ns}{ss}{sa}|{bw}{db}{gd}{nc}{pi}
This setup tells me how long I've been a criminal, gives me a tiny stat bar, shows my hit points, stamina, mana, how much weight I am holding and am able to hold. and then it shows me how much of each reagent I have so I know how much I have left and if I need to restock, very very handy, it also shows you which reagents are used when you cast a spell.
Also you are able to tell what commands do by holding your mouse in the top right hand of the edit box, and add more counters in the bottom window (FOR ANYTHING!) plus the reason why Never auto-search pouches is disabled by default is so you don’t blow yourself up after retrieving your corpse if you have cast trap on a pouch to get out of a mages paralyse spell.
Arms/Dress tab is for equipping and un equipping all your current clothing, all the features here are self explanatory
Skills tab, gives you a good list of all your skills, their values, their caps (shows which you have used power scrolls on), how much you have gained/lost and weather they are Locked, Up or Down
Agents tab, here is probably one of the best features of Razor, The Organizer agents are for putting certain items in certain packs, instead of having a messy pack, you can press a button and all the selected items will be moved into a pack, this is good for reagents, and works best with the buy agent.
The buy agent is used for automatically buying a certain amount of items from vendors (non player ones), basically you select what items you want to buy, the quantity, carry some cash and go to a vendor and buy! It will automatically go through a vendor and buy all the selected items for you if you have the cash and if the vendor stocks the quantity of the item, and if the vendor doesn’t have the amount of items it will just buy him clean and give you a notice.
The scavenger basically keeps an eye out for items, so if you select all your reagents, and run past a reagent grown on the ground, it will pick it up for you. pretty neat, I have mine set to regs and body parts, so it picks up heads so I don’t have to sort through the corpses of people I killed, I just walk past it.
ALSO very VERY handy for up showing the guys who drop awesome items on the ground to show off to everybody, you just select it with scavenger and run past, and before he knows it, GONE! the agent will definitely act faster than he can. I've done this before, very rewarding.
So if you use the scavenger and buy agent to collect reagents for you, you press a button and it organises all of them into a bag for you
The sell agent works the same way as the buy one, just does the opposite, so I set it to sell all my gems that I pick up in 1 go, grabbing me an extra $2,000 usually from hunts and a fraction of the weight
The friends agent basically prevents you from casting flame strike on a friend I think, I haven’t really tried this one out extensively
Hot Keys tab, basically allows you to transfer most of the selected features onto your keyboard, so you can organize, cast spells and bandages yourself (good feature, under Items)
Macros tab, this is probably also a great feature with Razor, basically here’s one to get you started:
- Open your skills in UO (Alt+K)
Click New in Razor (under Macros tab)
call it anat
press “Record”
use the skill Anatomy and target on another player/animal (not npc or yourself) and click stop.
This macro will eventually stuff up because of lag, so click on “Wait for Target” and right click, go to Edit, go to “Pause for:” and put 750 in the box, click ok.
Check the “Loop” box and click play, and you’re on your way to Grand Mastering Anatomy! An essential skill if you want to use healing or be an effective warrior
All the other tabs are pretty self explanatory anyway, figure them out yourself

Note for Guide Writers:
If you are wanting to put up specific razor macro's you can go into your Razor directory by clicking here.
You open up a XXXX.macro file in notepad (Open Notepad, and open the file through it) and copy+paste the information directly onto here.
Then people can copy it, paste it in notepad and save the file as a XXXX.macro in their macro directory here and run it exactly like you would, this is so people dont stuff it up as bad.
Example:
Code:
!Loop
Assistant.Macros.DoubleClickTypeAction|3718|True
Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:00.7500000
Assistant.Macros.TargetRelLocAction|0|0
Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:03
Assistant.Macros.LiftTypeAction|6585|2
Assistant.Macros.DropAction|0x3805|(65535, 65535, 0)|0
This macro double clicks any pickaxe located within your backpack, mines the spot exactly underneath you, assumes the ore you have mined drops to your feet and moves it to
my pack animal (You will have to re-target it if you want it for yours)
You could copy and paste this into notepad and save it as a .macro file and it would work just like mine did, except you would have to change a few settings to have the ore stack at your feet (OPTIONS tab)
