Hello, I have been an Ultima fan for years. I would like to show my kids the game i played. I want to start a small lan server for our use.

I downloaded the files on the run UO site but i am not sure where to start or what to do. Is there a dummies guide to starting a server?

Download. Specify path to client in Scripts\Misc\DataPath.cs. Specify IP address in Scripts\Misc\ServerList.cs. Enjoy :)

  1. Download an Ultima Online Client (you will need to be logged in here to view them) and install it; take note of the location on your computer where it is installed as you will need that file path location (Supported clients are discussed here).
  2. Download the latest RunUO 2.2 Emulator (it's in .zip format, so you'll need to unpack it using Winzip or some other utility).
  3. Once extracted, open DataPath.cs (which is in the Scripts > Misc folder) and make sure that the path points to your correct UO client installation path:
    private static string CustomPath = @"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Classic";
  4. Navigate back to your main RunUO file folder and run (double click on): .RunUO.exe
  5. A Command Line Interface should popup saying that your RunUO shard is running. It will ask you to create an Admin account.
  6. In order to connect to your shard, download Razor and run it as per the instructions.

If you are getting stuck in the floor it is probably because your client files aren't matching your server files. This is most likely caused by:
  1. forgetting to copy over your map.mul/statics.mul/staidx.mul to both your server "client" folder AND client "client" folder OR
  2. an incorrect datapath in your DataPath.cs.
  3. Another possibility is that your client version is not compatible with the RunUO version that you are running.

For more help with this error, look here:

Regarding no monsters or content, try out Nerun's Distro for a fully spawned world. It's a "must-have".

First question is which client & runuo versions are you using?
Second question is are you hosting the runuo shard on your own computer?

Then to answer your question, assuming you are hosting your own shard:
You should have 2 copies of the client on your computer.

1 copy is used for the server, to be used by runuo to run the game (this is the client referenced in your datpath).

The second copy of the client is what you use to play the game. You shouldn't use the same client that runuo is using as your personal client. So you should have 2 copies of the UO Client on your computer.

Now, both of these Clients need to be exactly the same, just like your players' clients need to match your shard's client.

I think that's not the issue in your case. You have to separate client and server mul files only in case you're going to use [freeze/[unfreeze commands.

Good point, Soteric. I got side-tracked off topic by not re-reading through the past posts.

If you do not have 2 clients installed on your computer, then mismatched files cannot be your problem with falling through the floor in the first place.

But you could still have an incorrect datapath or incompatible client/runuo versions. So still answer those two questions, if you would.

Thx, Soteric for pointing that out.

i am using the one off the UO website fully patched. Also i use Razor to load it. I am running the UO server on my computer. I set it up just for me and my kids. Also i am not the only one getting stuck. I asked my brother to log in from San Deagio useing the same client i am and he is having the same issue

Are you using the .zip file of runuo 2.2 or did you download and compile the SVN?

I don't keep up with the newest versions of RunUO, but my understanding was that only the SVN is compatible with clients post 7.0.23.1. (see the link I posted above for a little more info regarding this). Otherwise, you'll have to use a different client, some of which you can find here if you login.
