    Mini guide - Razor tips, and shutting down UO to save power hour

    Here is a mini-guide for some features that new players might not be aware of:
    Razor:
    useonce agent: this is a great way to activate trapped pouches. Just add all of your pouches to the useonce agent (there is a hotkey for this you can set up under useonce), and then set up a hotkey for use once agent, and hit that every time you get paralyzed

    Title bar display: There is a fair amount of customization possible with this display. Go to Display/counters tab in Razor, and in the box under "Show this in the UO title bar, you can add or subtract from the list of items in curly brackets {}. You can even change the color of text by using hexadecimal codes. Here is a website with a bunch of colors and their corresponding color codes http://html-color-codes.com/. If you hover your mouse over the box where you enter the items in brackets, it will give you a list of codes you can use.

    You can also add counters for other things that you need, such as potions or boards or whatever you need. To do this, click the Add button in the Display/ Counters page, underneath the Counters box. To create a counter for boards, type 'boards' (without the quotes), in the Name and Format boxes, and then click Target and target the boards in your backpack. Click Okay. Make sure boards is checked in the counters list. Then go to title bar display box and type {boards}. It should show your board count now in your title bar. Here is a sample full title bar display code with some color codes.

    {char} {crimtime}- {bp} {bm} {gl} {gs} {mr} {ns} {ss} {sa} {heal} {cure} {refresh} ~#CC6600 Gold: {gold} ~#000033 {largestatbar} Weight: {weight}/{maxweight}~#0000CC Mana: {mana}/{manamax}~#FF0000 HP: {hp}/{hpmax} ~#9900FF AR: {ar}

    Stopping Macroing before power hour:
    I'm sure there is a more elegant solution than this, but this is the one I came up with.

    Let's say that you want to macro eval int while you are at work, but you want the game to turn off when your characters power hour starts, so that you can use your power hour on your magery and other skills while you farm in a dungeon from 9pm to 10pm when you get home from work. You can set this up as follows:

    1) Use anatomy on yourself, to determine when your next power hours starts. Let's say it starts at 4pm
    2) Set up your macro for eval int or whatever, like you normally would
    3) Go to task manager (ctrl + alt + delete, select to start task manager)
    4) click View -> click select columns
    5) click check next to PID (Process Identifier)
    6) Write down PID for the client.exe (under image name, in processes) of the character who you want to stop macroing at power hour start, let's say it is 40000 in this case
    7) open up new file in notepad
    8) Type the following, without the quotes: "TASKKILL /f /PID 40000" (The 40000 is the PID that you looked up in step 6)
    9) save as Shut Down UO.bat
    10) open task scheduler (All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler)
    11) From Action Menu, select Create Task
    12) in Name type "Close UO"
    13) Check "Run with highest privileges" at bottom left of screen
    14) Click Trigger Tab, click New... Button at bottom left corner
    15) click one time, and set the time to 10 mins before your power hour starts (3:50 pm in this case)
    16) Click Action Tab, click New at bottom left of window
    17) By default the Action should be : Start a program, leave it on this setting
    18) Click Browse, find your notepad file from step 8
    19) Click Okay
    20) The UO client should now close for only the character whose power hour you want to save later. If you have other UO Clients open they will not be affected by this
    21) Enjoy! If you want to use it again you have to find the newly generated PID and paste it into the .bat file you created in step 8, and edit the Task to be triggered by a different time.

    would be neat if players could start the ph manually by command, like "start power hour" typed ingame
