Optimization

Keep in mind that some of this is personal preference, but this guide is also meant to avoid common questions that get asked in our Question Corner Discord Channel regarding certain features. For a comprehensive guide of all features in Razor please visit Razor's Home Page

Optimizing your Gameplay Experience for Regisfall

Razor

• These can be set any time as long as your client and Razor have been launched

Options Tab

Targeting and Queues

• The longest range weapons on the shard track at 14 tiles, but most spells, ranged feats, and skills are limited to 12 tiles

• Depending on your character class, you may want to change this setting per profile

• Auto-Unequip/Re-Equip only works if you set potion hotkeys in Razor

Additional Options

• Clearing 'Auto Unequip hands before casting' will negate the common issue where casters drop spell channeling/mage weapons

• Clearing auto-open doors is another preference of mine. This setting has to be set in ClassicUO and Razor if you want to turn it off entirely

Display Tab

Waypoints

• Check 'Create waypoint on death'

• At some point, you are going to die. Marking a waypoint at the spot where you die is helpful for returning to your corpse

Friends Tab

• Note that you can create separate friend(s) lists, but party members are not required to be on your friends list as long as this setting is checked

• Check Next/Prev Target Ignores 'Friends' to prevent razor targeting hotkeys from selecting your friends

• If you have a persistent 'Friends' list you can also enable auto-accepting of party invites

Advanced Tab

• Configure a backup location for your Razor profiles. We recommend using cloud storage or a backup location that can be accessed if you lose your files

ClassicUO

• In Game Only

General Tab

General Section

• My personal preference is to disable automatically open doors, as it makes navigating some dungeons difficult unless you run straight at the door. Remember there is a duplicate setting in Razor. (see above)

Gumps and Context Section

• Grid loot is a must, so you should make sure to turn that on, there are times where the standard corpse gump is very useful, and so I choose to use 'Both'

• You can also enable a gump to appear when you receive a party invite

Miscellaneous Section

• You will probably want to enable drag-select to open health bars. Use of a modifier key is optional

Speech

• At a minimum you will want to ensure that your journal is saved to your in game folder

• I prefer 'Activate chat when pressing ENTER' because it allows me to leverage any key as a macro key without having to clear my speech queue

Counters

• As you can see here, with counters enabled I have a nice 5x5 grid (set it to whatever you want)

• Counters can be used to track quest objects, supplies, and other items. You can also 'use/activate' an item by clicking on the item in the counter (e.g. Scissors)

Containers

• Double click to loot items inside containers is very useful for looting treasure chests, corpses (through the traditional corpse gump), and any other container

The other options are for all intents and purposes optional, but I find them extremely useful for various quality of life improvements they provide

Useful Hotkeys

Two extremely useful Hotkeys you can toggle in ClassicUO but NOT in Razor are 'NamesOnOff' and 'ToggleTreesStumps'

Open Options -> Macros and add two new hotkeys:

This useful feature is incredibly useful for sticking 'object handles' which can be used to find herbs, sort corpses, and access containers in areas where that might otherwise be difficult by clicking alone.

The toggle for what 'NamesOnOff' looks for defaults to 'All' in the screenshot below I have it configured for 'Items Only' which is really useful for spotting herbs. The toggle appears by default towards the top left corner. I brought it into view to make this easier to explain.

ToggleTreesToStumps is really useful for some of the more dense areas of the map where tree cover makes the games perspective a bit difficult.

As you can see, same screenshot as before, but with the toggle set.

The Razor 'Hotkeys' Command

Razor commands, versus client commands, are prepended with '>' you can see a complete list with '>help' (as opposed to ]help, which will show client commands)

This command is really useful if you have a hard time remembering your macros or just want a cheat sheet at your disposal. This is especially useful if you have not played in a while!

the >hotkeys command will show a gump like the one below once you have some keys set.

Saving Journals

On a roleplay shard saving journal logs is a pretty common practice. They help serve as a 'memory' for your characters, help scaffold out roleplay posts and forum stories, and they're great for going back over your adventures. Below are instructions to make sure it is enabled, and a brief overview of how to find/edit/save your journal logs.

• Journals are saved in the directory that your Regis Fall installation is located in. The default path is (Your_Regisfall_Install_Folder)\Data\Client\JournalLogs

• Once you exit the game and close your client, a journal log will be generated that begins with yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss (year, month, day, hour, minute, second)

• You can edit the journal log in any text editor, IDE, or web-based GUI that can ingest text files
