In order to save the text file of your journal, you must first establish a path in your UO directory. The following system is what has worked for me:
You first need to find your UO directory, which on many systems may be C:\Program Files\Ultima Online, or C:\EA GAMES\Ultima Online (that one gave me huge problems, and didn't work) or something similar. On my system, it happens to be C:\Ultima Online, so I will use that as my example.
1. Open your UO Directory, noting the path it uses. (C:\Ultima Online, in this case)
2. Create a new folder in your UO Directory. Label it Journal. (C:\Ultima Online\Journal, so far)
3. Open the folder and create an empty text file. Label it Journal.txt (C:\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:\Ultima Online\Journal\Journal.txt (this being whatever path pertains in your particular case)
5. Close the uo.cfg, click Okay on save changes.
This is helpful for bug reports, etc.
