Working with UOBods split database window
The database window is split vertically into two panes that can be adjusted by moving the dividing vertical bar. In the lower right corner the window can be re-proportioned as a whole. In the left pane sections and subsections are displayed - very similar to what you know from the Windows Registry. A "[+]" means that there are subsections not displayed currently (branch is collapsed), while a "[-]" tells you that this branch is fully expanded. The right pane will always list the contents of the section or subsection that is marked on the left side. The example above has "Bods" marked - that is the total of all the Bods know to the system. Consequently the display on the right pane shows you a summary similar to a printout by the Report/Summary. The number in parentheses in the lower right corner is again the grand total of all your Bods including those SBods that have already been combined into LBods. (1) If you expand and mark the "LBods Smith Color" section on the left pane([-]), you will see a listing of all your Smith LBods on the right one. If the list is longer than the window size allows, you can scroll down with the vertical scrollbar, if it is wider you can use the horizontal scroll bar. The width of the columns can be adjusted at the column head dividers . Double click will set them to the optimal width. Column widths are stored in the registry together with the size and position of UOBod's Main Window. You will get these settings back whenever you re-enter UOBod until you change them. Also please note that there is a control for customizing which columns you want displayed and which not (Filter Settings window). Edit/Grid will let you toggle a grid for lines and columns. "Grid on" is the default.
The number displayed on the status bar's right corner (153 here) reflects the total number of Bods in the subsection you have selected in the left window pane. (LBods Smith Color here). Flipping from LBod to Sbod and vice versaWhile viewing your LBods you may want switch over to the corresponding Sbods that you have. Any time there is a non-empty Lbod displayed or a "fit" of any sort (including the sacrifice fits "exc", "col" or "ecol" explained later) a double-clicking your Lbod line to any other column than
"Material" will set all the column filters to reflect the specifications of this Lbod and put you into the corresponding Sbod section of your database. Vice versa you can switch back to your LBod by double clicking on an Sbod that displays some sort of fit in the Match Column. In both cases you must later manually
cancel all the column filters that have been set for you by using the "Disable Column Filters" button Lets say you are viewing a Spined leather Lbod, Female exc. 20 and you would like know how many double or triple Sbods you have of this set, you may just double click the LBod line and you are put into the Tailor Sbod section with filters in effect that restrict the display to Spined Leather, Female Set, exceptional quality and an amount of 20. To switch back to the LBod you came from, double click one of the Sbods that can be used for it. Column details - LBods: Please make sure all columns are enabled in the Filter setting window (F3), then open the LBod Smith section. You will see the following columns: Material: The requested material (Iron, Gold, Verite, Cloth, Plain Leather, Barbed Leather etc.) Set: One of the sets that an LBod asks for (Ringmail, Platemail, Studded Armor, Bone Armor, Bladed weapons, Town Crier etc.) and" Other" The latter are single Bods that do not belong to any set (Shields, Helmets (except the Plate Helm) and Female Plate Armor. Quality: Normal or Exceptional Amount 10, 15 or 20 Part1-6 stands for the individual SBods that need to be combined with this LBod. They are all listed with their three-character abbreviations. Missing SBods are displayed in a color similar to the background but lighter or darker and in "italics". Columns that are not used for a particular LBod because it consists of fewer parts are darkened in the color of the material. LReward (Large Bod Reward) The abbreviations given here stand for individual rewards that you may receive for returning this Bod. If those abbreviations seem to cryptic at first, use F2 to open the edit window. there the rewards are named less abbreviated. Book This column will appear empty until you have assigned your Bods to Bod Books. You can do that individually using the context menu (Rightclick, Set book...) or as for many Bods at once using the Edit/Set Book for listed Bods... Menu item. There is also the Price Initially all Bods entered into UOBod are unpriced, unless you have priced them in UOAssist™ prior to importing them with the help of that program's vendor agent. Prices you may have given to your Bods inside a Book are lost once you remove the Bods from the Book. Inside UOBod having a price attached
simultaneously makes a Bod "For Sale". Those Bods that have prices will display them in this column. Prices can be set for individual Bods using the context menu "Set Price", or as mass-action, setting a uniform price for all listed Bods, using the main Menu "Edit/Set Price for listed Bods", or the
corresponding toolbar shortcut You can filter the display to "for Sale" Bods only by using the Filter Setting Window (F3) Show exclusively/Bods for Sale. As you can see, all SBods that are already combined with an LBod are displayed in bold and either black or white, depending on the background color.; SBods owned but not yet combined are marked in Cyan bold. Please note that so far none of the program's filters are active - neither the ones in the Filter Setting Window (Any Match, Complete or Completable Bods, Bods For Sale, Bods not in any Book) nor any of the "column head filters" (there is no q at the column heads to indicate that one of these filters is active.) Of course you can now also go down one more step in the Bods section hierarchy in the left pane and limit the display in the right pane to Agapite LBods only for instance. The same principles apply to all the sections and subsections from the left pane accordingly - including the Weapon Bods and all Tailor Bods, both cloth and the various kinds of leather. The principles of handling the selections remain the same throughout the program.
1. This number is also shown in rightmost field of the Status Bar if one is visible. Please mark that only the top category "Bods" will show the total including all already combined Sbods, while any other section (like Lbods Smith Color) will ignore the integrated Sbods. |
The window that you see here is UOBod's database window showing a single database. If you have several databases loaded into the program the same number of
windows will be opened; one for each. However, as the default setting is to maximize the database window, you will initially only see one. You can easily change from one window to the next using the shortcuts from the 
from the Tool Bar. Sounds a bit complicated, but it isn't.
