New Patch! (ver. A)

Post by +Colibri »

You may have noticed some strange things going on at brit bank, as well as some thing at excelsior halls missing. We are now publishing the first true patch, called patch A.

How to get it?

UOGateway users
1. Close all UO clients
2. Remove our shard from your serverlist
3. Add our shard again from the public serverlist
4. Connect and wait for the patch to download - approx 6.3 MB


----------------

Non-UOgateway users
1. Close all UO clients
2. Download our manual patch, from this url, approx 5.4 MB:
http://patch.uoexcelsior.com/patch-a-manual.rar
3. Go to your Ultima Online directory, and create backup copies of:
- staidx0.mul
- statics0.mul
4. Copy the contents of the .rar archive to your UO folder, rewriting the current files (with you having backups, it isnt much work to get it back to it's original shape)

Note that this manual patch only gives you statics for trammel/felucca, aka buildings. UOgateway users also get:
- nicer paperdoll graphics
- better spell icons
- ability to see custom mounts
- ability to see some custom items
Therefor, we recommend you use UOGateway (not trying to sell anything, but it gives you more features).


Changes
Just statics:
- brit bank bar moved to the jewler shop
- jewler shop is now smaller, more place for the bar
- it's now possible to get on the roof of brit bank by stairs
- excelsior halls - hue test room made into statics
- excelsior halls - some roads elevated to Z=1, some areas frozen (around the guild hue room, and hue test room).

[bump]

changed manual download link. The freeserver that hosted the patches went down.

And i also noticed that Hues arent added to the manual patch. Here is the download link to hues, in case anyone running on Razor wants to load them.
You are advised to backup your original hues.mul file.
