Installation / Patching
- for UO Outlands = Download GumpOverrides , unzip into a GumpOverrides folder in Outlands folder
- for Classic Shards =
- download UO_ART_MODS.zip .
- extract downloaded zip to a new folder anywhere
- UOFiddler is now the reccomended tool for complete mod install process by using its MassImport plugin
- create a backup of your Ultima Online Client folder
- written guide below is the most accurate all steps , this video may also be helpful = download install guide video
Setting up UOFiddler
- download the latest release of UOFiddler
- Settings > Path Settings > paste your Ultima folder path then click "Reload paths" ( list should populate with .mul .idx and .uop files )
- Setting > Options > Output Path > set to a new local OUTPUT folder ( this is where the mul and uop will output )
- Plugins > Manage > turn on MassImportPlugin
- Plugins > Manage > turn on UOPpacker
Patching using UOFiddler
- the ultima_online_mods folder contains a 00_ART_MODS_MassImport.xml file , ( this xml is a list of item ids and where the modded art files are located ) , edit the filepaths in the XML with "replace all" to match your own , or create a custom XML file using the 00_mod_selector.py tool
- Plugins > MassImport > Load XML > select the xml file in downloaded MOD folder 00_ART_MODS_MassImport.xml ( loads replacement art files)
- checkbox ON "DirectSave" , click "Start" ( may take 1 minute )
- the OUTPUT folder now contains the modded .mul files
- UOFiddler Tabs >UOP Packer > paste the OUTPUT folder path that contains the modded .mul files > turn ON "Pack MUL to UOP" > Start
- close UOFiddler , then copy the .mul , .idx , and .uop files , in the OUTPUT folder into your Ultima folder , overwriting
- Install is complete , play Ultima Online
- if your shard updates , then patch using their updater ( verify ), and repeat the MassImport process using UOFiddler after
Patching Troubleshooting
- if Terrain textures are incorrect in-game showing mismatch random texture = this is typically a shard patch update applied on top of the modded , mod textures should be applied by MassImport AFTER updating to your shards latest
- if MassImport crashes/freezes ( longer then 2min ) = the source .mul may be corrupted , restore backup .mul files or remove them and verify your shards latest patch ( so it downloads unmodded versions ) . this may happen after patching latest in a shard updater
- if after a Shard Update the client crashes with "System.OutOfMemoryException: Array dimensions exceeded supported range." referencing the ArtLoader. this is likely a failed diff update , delete the .mul or .uop files in the client directly that were recently updated , then verify again with your shard's launcher to download a fresh copy. test that the client loads , then may MassImport ontop using UOFiddler
or OLD Install using Varan Mulpatcher
- alternatively can install using Mulpatcher Alternate Download , this is an older method , may run out of memory
- Settings > Art > set the mul paths : Art.mul path ( Ultima directory ) and artidx.mul . click LOAD . repeat for Gumps and Textures .
- Features > Autopatch > select the mod txt file( 00_ART_ALL_ART_S.txt ) and set Art(S) as category dropdown > hit START .
- Repeat Autopatch process for the following mod txt files :
- 00_UI_ALL_GUMP.txt ( Gumps ) , 00_ENV_ALL_TEX.txt ( Textures ) , 00_ENV_ALL_ART_M.txt ( Art (M) ) , 00_ENV_ALL_ART_S.txt ( Art (S) )
- Settings > Save the Art mul to the Ultima directory ( Ultima directory ) . repeat for Gumps and Textures .
