GUIDE How to Record Your Journal

[Owyn]

Sometimes incidents happen ingame and a journal recording can be useful to figure out how things happened. Here is a guide on how to turn on Journal recording:

1. Open your UO Directory, noting the path it uses. (C:\Program Files\Outlands Ultima Online, most likely)

2. Create a new folder in your UO Directory. Label it Journal. (C:\Program Files\Outlands Ultima Online\Journal, so far)

3. Open the folder and create an empty text file. Label it Journal.txt (C:\Program Files\Outlands Ultima Online\Journal\Journal.txt)

4. Open the uo.cfg file in your UO Directory (use Notepad to open). Apply these settings:
SaveJournal=on
JournalSaveUnicode=off
and then add the following line:
JournalSaveFile=C:\Program Files\Outlands Ultima Online\Journal\Journal.txt (this being whatever path pertains in your particular case)

5. Close the uo.cfg, click Okay on save changes.

Very useful. I took things a bit further though and resurrected the venerable UO Journal Converter and posted here: http://forums.uooutlands.com/index.php?threads/uo-journal-converter.1392/
I also adapted UO Automap to work with Outlands server (http://forums.uooutlands.com/index.php?threads/uo-automap-for-uo-outlands.1378/), but I don't see anywhere the option to list my threads I post on the forum as GUIDE. Is this only an admin thing, or is just me missing something obvious?

@Owyn I'm still having some issues with saving my journals after following your instructions. I tried creating a directory in UO Outlands and even one on my desktop (to test admin rights issues).

Are we still able to save our journal to a text file?

Thanks!

Hi all, I just got some help on Discord. The logs are saving in the following location if you are ever curious to check your own:
