What is UOGateway?

[irro]

UO Gateway
Shard Portal
Project Manger: Mr. Fixit
Offical Website: www.UOGateway.com

-------------------------

UOGateway is a program that allows users to find and connect to shards easily.
When you start the program it will automatically download a new serverlist, everytime.
When you click on the "Public Serverlist" it will pull up a list of public shards that have been registered for UOG.
The list includes the

• Server's Name
  Servers Description
  Type of Server
  Primary Language
  Its major features
  Its brand (Type of Emulator)
  Votes it has recieved from its players
  How many players are online
  How many players are online on average
  Max amount of players that have been recorded for the shard.
  Shards Offical Website

The best thing about this program is that it keeps a list of most active shards, so you dont have to look around. It also auto-patches the shards you want to play on. When you click the link for a shard, it automatically downloads and stores the patches on your computer, and keeps it seperate from your UO files, so you can play on many shards easily without having to switch patches. (Wonders if anyone remembers how it used to be with copy/paste )

-------------------------

Now there are alot of options that can be setup, but most set themselves. On the settings page you will see:

• Client: (Which Client do you want to use?)
  Install optional patch: (If the shard has an optional patch, do you want to download and use it?)
  MultiUO: (Would you like to be able to run multi UO's at the same time?)
  Close UOG after client launch: (Would you like to close UOG after you launch UO?)
  Lower client priority: (Would you like to lower the clients priority?)
  Skip client intros: (Would you like to skip the normal client intro?)
  Force download (no cache): (Would you like to download the patches everytime you click on a shard?)
  Ignore download errors: (Would you like to ignore any download errors and continue to play the shard?)
  Razor (Would you like to use Razor?)

-------------------------

You can also list your own local or custom shard.

Click on "New Local Listing"
Enter a name and description for the shard.
Now on Directory put in the IP for the shard, If its a local shard use IP 127.0.0.1
The port is almost always 2593. Unless you manually changed it or are told to change it, use 2593.

Encryption:
Some Emulators require you to remove the encryption, some require it to be left alone. Runuo requires it to be removed. Check with your Emulator to see if it should be removed or not.

Razor:
Would you like to use Razor on this shard?
