Misc

language of the client

In uo.cfg insert as first line

UserLanguageCodeString=ENU

to switch the client to the english language.

Server

Ultima Online in a VirtualBox with Debian

Info

I can't keep the connection to the VirtualBox. Same thing directly in Windows works :-( Something is wrong!

• RAM: 6+ GB
• Disk: 1.5+ GB

Local X-Server

Make sure your system (Windows or Linux or whatever) has a X-Server running. Example:

• Get VcXsrv and create a file "config.xlaunch" with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="NoClient" LocalClient="False" Display="-1" LocalProgram="xcalc" RemoteProgram="xterm" RemotePassword="" PrivateKey="" RemoteHost="" RemoteUser="" XDMCPHost="" XDMCPBroadcast="False" XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True" ClipboardPrimary="True" ExtraParams="-ac" Wgl="True" DisableAC="True" XDMCPTerminate="False"/>

• Double-click the file (or use it with the Server)

Install libraries

• same UO for client and server
• install some stuff

apt-get install unzip x11-apps libgtk-3-0 vulkan-tools libz-dev libgdiplus 

• prepare the system for Wine and UO and install wine

dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install wine32:i386

• install something weird:

apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0

Install ClassicUO

• get the installer for ClassicUO

wget https://github.com/ClassicUO/deploy/releases/latest/download/ClassicUOLauncher-linux-x64-release.zip

• unpack it into an empty directory like ~/uo/ClassicUO

cd
mkdir uo
cd uo
mkdir ClassicUO
cd ClassicUO
unzip ~/downloadsOrWhereEver/ClassicUOLauncher-linux-x64-release.zip

• start ClassicUO and let it update and close it

./ClassicUOLauncher

ClassicUO's GUI should have started on YOUR desktop, NOT inside the VM. If it starts inside the VM, your X-Server is probably not correctly started.

Get UO running

• get UO from somewhere

wget https://downloads.eamythic.com/uo/installers/UOClassicSetup_7_0_24_0.exe

• start winecfg (if it does not start, delete directory ~/.wine) first

winecfg

• Close winecfg with the OK button
• start the setup of UO

wine UOClassicSetup_xxxxxx.exe

• after the installation on drive c you will probably find your installed UO like this

ls ~/.wine/drive_c/

• start the original Ultima Online client and let it update

wine UO.exe

• If the update stops somewhere in the middle for too long, you might try

ps x | grep UO
pkill UO.bin

• Afterwards start "wine UO.exe" again
• When the update is done the "Play" button will be enabled
• Do NOT press the play button, instead just close the window with the 'X' in the upper right corner

Get the server running

• get the server. Use the CURRENT path, don't copy blindly the line below

wget https://github.com/UOX3DevTeam/UOX3/releases/download/v0.99.7a-release/uox3-v0.99.7a-release-Linux.tar.gz

• unpack it, the UOX3 directory is included

cd
cd uo
tar -xzf ~/downloads/uox3-vx.xx.xx-release-Linux.tar.gz
ls -l
ls UOX3

• edit uox.ini

cd UOX3
vi uox.ini

• • Servername
  • ExternalIp (if needed)
  • DATADIRECTORY (point it to the UO installation from above, probably something like /home/andreas/uo/OriginalUO, the linux path, NOT the wine-Windows-path)
• Edit accounts in accounts/accounts.adm
  • Change the admin's password (and username?)
  • Change the guest's password to something weird, this should never be used
  • Copy paste the guest account and create a real account (account number, username, password, path)
• Start the server (probably best in screen)

./uox3

• connect to the sever as admin and select something like "default world"
• connect to the server as player and play

goto dfndata/maps
rename maps.4xclients to maps.dfn
open maps.dfn
and replace the x and y on map 1 and 0 with this
X=7168
Y=4096

also add this to your maps.dfn file
[MAP 4]    // Mondains Legacy
{
MAP=map4.mul
STATICS=statics4.mul
STAIDX=staidx4.mul
X=1448
Y=1448
}

Ultima Online Enhanced Client

Spinning Wheel

If you want to spin yarn from cotton or other sources, the following macro can do that for you:

• just the resource (for example wool)
• Wait For Target
• Cursor Target Stored
  • When you add this, select the spinning wheel you want to use
• Delay 5.0 seconds
• Enable Repeating: 10

Loom

Now you want to use the yarn to get a "Bolt of Cloth": Here I use a different method. You should be able to use each method for Spinning Wheel and Loom but it seems sometimes only one of these methods work.

• Create a macro with just yarn in the first slot.
• Rightclick the slot with the yarn and select "Target Stored"
• With the appearing cursor you select the wanted loom
• There is no need for a delay
• Enable Repeating: 10
