Just dont expect updates or support on their forums. From what Ive seen thier site is a bit dead. The forums are just spammed with ads when I last looked.

Been thinking about opening a similar site, but dont know if the demand is there for such a thing.

Just went to the russian side of the site and noticed an extra news post. A farewell note saying the site would no longer be worked on, but would stay up so people could still download existing works.


I think Ill set something up and send links out to interested parties to get some feedback. Thanks for the encouragement Sunshine.

If you want to distribute such changes, also take a look at my MulEditor which is able to generate a self-patching verdata. (Convertig a verdata.mul into a .exe)

I found it in verdata.mul which is in your EA directory. Using MulEditor I just locaded verdata and started looking for it... turns out it was about half way down.

Once you find it, just 'clear' it and open a new bmp, select the one you want to be the background and hit save. Then save the verdata.mul and use it to replace the one in your EA folder.

Erm...UO no longer supports using a Verdata file. If you want to patch files to your players they need to be in the appropriate MUL file or they need to be patched into an MUO file.

MulEditor supports creating a patcher from a verdata file which can be easily distributed. So that should not be a concern :D

How or where did you alter the information to advise the player not to use the OSI/EA password?

Probably by sector editing the client and overwriting the original text with new text.

that is just text placed into the bitmap when it was created, so it becomes a part of the bitmap

I think that is the copyright notice that is normally displayed on top of the bitmap. It's hardcoded.

I know it is not part of the image as I have changed it. I also checked the cliloc file and saw nothing.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you still see the UO copyright message in that spot after you change the image?

If so, you'll need to hex edit the client to change that text.
