MAIN MENU

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 .
