UOAM Advice!!
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 5:46 am
Okay, so clearly the owner of UOAM has decided to let the program go. Well, it's stated so on his site anyway. 
I know there have been posts in regards to issues with the black screen, but I myself, have run into a rather unique problem.
Should you, upon installing, encounter an error informing you that not all of UOAM was installed, then follow these directions to fix the issue!
1) If you still have UOAM installed, go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Find UOAM and REMOVE it.
2) If you still have the install file handy, use it and reinstall. If not, <a href="http://uoam.net/uoam.html#downloads">click here</a>, and re-download the file and reinstall it.
3) Upon completion of the installation, it will provide a gump asking you if you wish to run UOAM at least once in order to buffer the maps, etc. CLICK CANCEL!!!
4) Once you click cancel, download (if you have not done so already), the UOAM.zip file. You can download that <a href="http://uoam.net/files.html">here</a>.
5) Meantime, go to the directory in which you installed UOAM. Delete EVERYTHING!
6) Once the .zip is downloaded, extract it into the same directory. In the event it asks you to replace already existing files, do not panic, just click "Yes To All". Whenever you delete one of the .map files, it immediately converts itself into a .bak (a backup version of the .map)
7) Once the .zip is extracted, open UOAM, let it run its "update" (despite the update server being no longer available), then click Continue and get right into UOAM.
**If you need further assistance past the installation, please start a new thread requesting support for whatever you need help with. This thread is solely for installation issues. However, if you should reply asking a different question, I will try my best to offer the most assistance I can.
Disclaimer: I do NOT guarantee that this method will solve any issues you are having. I am not responsible for any mis-clicks, accidental deletions, or any other possible issues that you may or may not cause to arise by following my instructions. This remedy solved the issue for me, and most likely will for you as well. Should it not work, please reply to my post and I will do everything within my power to assist you, even if it is in regards to something you messed up on your computer!
Thanks!
