Updates To The UO:KR Guide.

The Syndicate released a UO:KR guide/overview back in March of this year.
Since then, it has been updated several times. With this latest update we add a massive chunk to it covering Treasure Maps from start to finish.
The Treasure Maps section is so large, it needed to be its own page linked off the main guide.

In this update you will see:

* A comparison of the 2D and KR systems
* How to use the KR Waypoint system to mark where Tmaps are located
* A complete list of waypoints to add to your client showing every TMap
* Every Tmap decoded with pictures matched to those waypoints
* A little extra help on editing and adding waypoints

The KR client is very powerful when it comes to Treasure Map hunting and when you use that client, in conjunction with the maps/waypoints in the KR guide linked below, it makes TMap hunting that much more simple and fun.

You can find a copy of the article HERE

Reading some of this made me actually want to try out KR.

Hehe
It's worth trying, but I think you need plenty of patience to get used to it.

News item - Syndicate Updates KR Guide.

These guys have done a great job with this guide and also a GREAT service to the UO community!

Tried it out and you hit the nail on the head with that statement.

Complaints: I am forced to play in fullscreen mode, otherwise everything is visually in the wrong place. Sound effects are horrible, but that applies to 2d as well. No way to resize the map (it seems a bit small). The graphics look kind of blurry. Cannot use the mouse wheel for things other than the 3 presets. Sometimes I could not tell what was going on, in terms of the placement of everything. For example, I would run up to hit a monster and wonder why the hell I wasn't hitting it. Turns out I'm always a tile or two away, thinking I'm right next to it.

Kudos: Items easily set to macros. Zoom feature is awesome. Some areas look stunning. Some of the music is very nice. The paper doll is easier to use (equipment slots for all pieces in particular). Character sheet is sooo handy. I appreciate the buff bar being built into the health display. Some graphics, namely monster designs, are well done. I can't say much on this because I've only seen a few critters in it so far. Runebooks have been made much easier to use. Scalable interface = OMG yes. The default is way too huge and bulky for me.


I think I could grow to love the KR client aside from one problem: I have permanently learned that last target = mouse wheel up, target self = mouse wheel down, and I am not able to do this in KR. Sounds like a silly reason, but it's the truth.

Don't give up so easily, I used mouse wheel up = bandage self and mouse wheel down = quaff cure pot for years. But after a few days I got used to having these on hotkeys again. People can change

Thanks for the encouragement! I might give it another shot. I'm not uninstalling it any time soon just because of how long it took me to download.
