UO Client Modifications/Tools / Client Patches
« on: January 09, 2015, 06:57:31 AM »
I was on the same subject in 2 different threads, and I sort of felt like I might have been hijacking one or both of them. LOL not what I wanted to do, so I decided to put the relevant info in it's own post.
In case you want to do them yourself here is a list of patches available at
http://www.burningsheep.ch/.
Instructions are there as well, but the only method I got to work is described below.
The List:
I have personally applied the journal fix, (I can't read that *bleep* in the normal colors.), and it's working, at least on the freeshard I play on. I used the program attached to install it and one that gave me colored spell icons. It does take a bit longer to start your client the first time after you patch, at least it did for me. Just give it a second and all should be fine.
Here is the method I used: I used the basic profile in UOFiddler and set up my directories (Be sure you set an output directory in the options!). UOFiddler has the new Ultima.DLL file in it, so it can read the UOP files natively, no need to extract the mul file at this point, just replace the appropriate graphics, then save. This will put new mul files in the directory you chose above. Now you have to go to the plugin tab, (If you can't see it, you may have to extend your window.) On the plugin tab choose the uopplugin and on that menu choose the single file method. Reassemble your UOP file from the MUL files and then copy/paste your new UOP file back in your game directory. Be sure to back up all your original files! At the very least maybe it will give an idea of what you might like in an easily applied patch file. I can make one of those for the newest client pretty easily, using a repo to make the patch file, but we need to come up with a list, or maybe 2 lists of patches to include as they would all have to be applied at once. This would be a way of making it much easier for everyone, but might limit the personalization.

One of the things we do as a family is play UO. About 3 - 4 months ago I decided to introduce them to it, and ever since, it has been nothing but UO in our/their spare time. It's been a blast, and I have been prowling the internet since then, trying to get a grip on all the changes that have taken place since my departure.
