ASSIST UO Basics

[zaxarus]

In another thread i posted this to help out a player. I thought this could be interesting for everyone who might jump to AssistUO and/or has some troubles with it.
This is no complete guide, just some basics. But since the documentation on their site is a little 'small' and sometimes complicated, especially for people with no idea of the commands you can use, this might help some of you.

Assist UO - Basics


Basically AssistUO uses the same setup to connect as Razor does. But it's way faster.


Important:
SAVE your Profile EVERY time you make changes!


Connect:

You have to choose your client & its folder (twice!) and just put in the login info of Pandora, like you do with Razor.

1.) Client Options: destination of client.exe (browse)*
2.) check "Remove Encryption"
3.) next: destination of client (again, browse)*
4.) Shard: play.pandorauo.com
5.) port: 2593
* Example: c:\Program Files\UltimaOnline\client.exe


Basic Setups (for laggy persons^^):


1.) "General"
- On the left side just check the settings you prefer. If you are lagging by nature (internet speed) uncheck whatever you can
- Check "Load Linked Profile"
- Check "Reduce SPU usage"
- "Profiles": Here you can set up a profile for every character you play. Click "New", choose a name and save every setting the way you want it; "Default" means: Every Profile is the SAME for each character!

2.) "Options":
"General":
- commands prefix: don't touch it
- Delay between actions: 600 ms
- Use objects queue limit: 5
- check "Open corpses range": 3 tiles
- check "count stealth steps"
- uncheck the rest!
- check "Open doors"
- enable "Bone Cutter": click Set Blade, click on a dagger in your backpack
- Game Window: 800 x 600 (default)
"Combat":
- Display Spell: Name (uncheck colored)
- check "Check Hands before Potions"
- uncheck the rest!
- Smart last Target: both
- Share enemy Target: none
- check Limit Target Range: 12 Tiles
- uncheck the rest!
"Friends":
don't touch it, messes up!
"Title Bar":
- custom title bar mode: Graphic
- check "Highlight amount below": 5
- check "use notoriery hue on $name
- check "display image with counters"
- uncheck the rest!
"Spell Grid":
useless junk for me^^

Hotkeys Setup:


Like you do it in Razor you can set up hotkeys for spells, weapon abilities**, actions and so on. Just play around with it.
There are some things that are different, here we go:

"Spells":
"Big Heal": Self: set up a hotkey & you don't need to press "targetself". Just this key and you heal yourself with Greater Heal.

"Targeting":
Just play with it. You can set up a key to set a last target & also, like Razor, a key you press to attack that target with spells.
Also you can set up keys for next/closest target/enemy/friend and so on!

**some garg abilities not supported atm!


Dress Macros:

You can set up macros & hotkeys for every wearable item (armor, jewels, weapons, clothing). It's a little different than with Razor.

1.) Click "Agents"
2.) Click "Dress"
3.) Click "New" and give the dress setup a name
4.) Add an item by clicking "New Item" and then clicking the item in the game (has to be weared!)
5.) check "Move conflicting items"
6.) click "Macros"
7.) click "New" and give the dress macro the SAME NAME like the one in (3)
8.) type: dress 'name' //name means the name of your dress macro in (3)
9.) click SAVE
10.) choose a Hotkey, check "Pass to UO"
11.) click SAVE
!!!There will be another change after I explained the setup for macros!!!
(See: Other Macros, below!)

Other Macros

Here i will give an example for a simple Combat Macro that will cure you, cast divine fury and use spirit speak, so you can see the basic commands. You type it all in, no need to click and drag and choose and whatever Razor wants from you.
Click on Macros, click new and give it a name. You will need this name also in dress macros, see below!

Example:

If poisoned
cast "Arch Cure"
waitfortarget 3000
target! 'self'
endif
pause 200
If hits <= 60
useskill "Spirit Speak"
endif
pause 100
If stam <= 100
cast "Divine Fury"
endif
pause 100

After you typed "If poisoned" there might show up this: [serial]
DELETE THIS!

You can also use Remove Curse automatically in this macro to counter a mortal strike:

If "yellowhits" 'self'
cast "Remove Curse"
waitfortarget 3000
target! 'self'
endif
pause 200

You might be careful, because on Pandora EVERYONE has a yellow hit bar in Battles. So you will cast offensive spells on yourself sometimes!

Important:
If you set up a Dress Macro you have to type this in the LAST line of EVERYdress macro:
playmacro 'name'  //name means the name of your combat macro you choose


Example:

You set up a combat macro like in the example. Name is COMBAT1. You set up a dress macro for a weapon. The name is WEAPON1.
The dress macro must look like this:
dress 'WEAPON1'
playmacro 'COMBAT1'

This makes sure that your looping combat macro COMBAT1 will not be stopped when you activate this dress macro!


Important:
If you set up a macro that has to run CONSTANTLY please check "Do not interrupt" and set it on "Loop"!



That's it. You might also try the other features like Looters & Scavenger Agents. They work basically the same as in Razor.

If there are any questions please post them and i might try to answer them. This is also new to me, but i've been playing around with it for some time now. ^^
