Re: Sallos or Razor?
Ill list the pro's and con's of each.
Sallos-
Pro's:
Has an unparalleled map where just double clicking it auto-recalls you to the closest point you clicked. Holding down ctrl+shift casts gate Travel instead.
When you are attacking a person, they appear as a orange dot on your radar map, but only stay there as long as you have line of sight on them.
The same goes for people your party members are attacking when watching their position on Sallos.
Sallos equips a wand and then uses it by type with one key.
No more choosing just one wand. You can go out with several lighting/heal/gheal/fireball/mana drain wands and press a single key. I personally assign my "wand" keys to the same spell key I cast naturally, I just use ctrl.
Example: Gheal=F4
Gheal Wand=Ctrl+F4
The Protect Heal's are fail proof. It will NOT ever lose its targeting cursor as long as it is still within cast time.
The mount feature prevents you from having to make a new macro for every mount you buy, if there is no mount nearby it summons your ethy from inside your back pack.
The equipment slots alone make it a prime choice for dexxers. As on razor, you only have two arm/disarm slots, sallos has 10
Sallos is a beautiful and new experience to a 12 year old game's graphic's.
Con's:
You really have to have a beastly computer to run sallos effectively. I was recently using an Intel Duel Core 2.2 ghz processor, and it was not enough.
If you do not have a good computer, you will crash and lag.
Sallos does not have the macro capabilities that razor has, nor the ability to run anything complex.
Sallos also does not have a 100% perfect programing code.
There is a memory leak associated with character animations, so an hourly restart of the program is almost needed.
Converting to lock-step reduces this greatly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Razor
Pro's-
The number one thing I love about razor, is it's ability to make macros on the fly, and have them start upon different event's.
You're grandmothers cell phone can run razor.
Razor has been, for well over 6 years now, the players choice for UO third party programs. It has history, and a reputation.
The ability to run complex macro's and have them loop, or end if a specific problem arises.
Con's-
Razor is choppy. I have personally been on a dexxer, and my screen was chopping so badly I could not effectively chase my target.
Razor's protect cures and protect heals are useless.
Razor has a tendency of losing it's spell targeting cursor.
Using the positioning system will lag you out if you have it bigger then 2x2in2
You can only use one wand efficiently, and without making a complex macro takes 3 keys to use.
Razor has been deemed the dexxer's client, and that is due to the bare necessities of a dexxer.
--------------------------------------------------
I use razor to train characters, sell things,make things and gm mares.
I use sallos for everything else.
