Connecting to Server

UOCartographer can connect to a server and allow you to see the locations of other players on the same server. Right-click anywhere on the map and select "Options".

• Address - The hostname (www.uoguide.com) or IP (127.0.0.1) of the server you will be connecting to
• Port - The post number the server uses for UOCartographer connections
• User Name - The name other people on the server will see yourself as. Your name will also be displayed on your own map.
• Password - The password needed to be allowed to connect to the server
• Show Status - When checked it will display whether or not you are connected to a server in the top-left corner of the map window.
  • Red Dot - You are not connected
  • Green Dot - You are connected

Once you have filled out the above press "Okay" to save the changes and exit the options menu. To connect to the server right-click anywhere on the map and select "Connect". If the connection is successful other player names will appear on your map (that is if anyone else is connected to the server). If the connection fails an error window should appear titled "There seems to be a problem". Check your connection settings again to make sure they are correct. UOCartographer may also quit if an error occurs.

Running a Server

For those who are hosting the server for your friends you will find the server program already packaged with the UOCartographer installer. Depending on the directory you installed it, you should find it located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\UOCartographer\UOCServer.exe
