Patching 101 for UOG

1. Make a folder in your OSI UO folder, named customstatics.

2. Go into datapath.cs in RunUO/Scripts/Misc folder and enter the path of the folder you just created.

ie:"C:\Program Files\Ultima Online\customstatics"

3. copy the files you need(listed in *Datapath.cs) to the customstatic folder
(see datapath.cs quote below)

/* If you have not installed Ultima Online,
* or wish the server to use a seperate set of datafiles,
* change the 'CustomPath' value, example:
*
* private const string CustomPath = @"C:\Program Files\Ultima Online";
*/
private static string CustomPath = null;

/* The following is a list of files which a required for proper execution:
*
* Multi.idx
* Multi.mul
* VerData.mul
* TileData.mul
* Map*.mul
* StaIdx*.mul
* Statics*.mul
* MapDif*.mul
* MapDifL*.mul
* StaDif*.mul
* StaDifL*.mul
* StaDifI*.mul
*/

4. After you freeze items to your map or change a art file, you'll need to patch it to your players.

5. Make a folder on your desktop called Patch.

6. Copy and paste any files you want to patch into this folder.

7. Once you have all your files that you want patched to your players, go into your Patch folder, highlight the new files in your patch folder, right click the highlighted files and rar the files into a patch.rar, (default name because of the folder name).

*If you don't have winrar, get it here: WinRar*

8. Now inside your patch folder you should have a new file called Patch.rar, upload this to the web or what ever service you use to hold your patches. I use Upload It for small files and File Genie for large ones, both cost money so your prewarned.

9. Copy your shortcut from your uploaded Patch.rar to your UOG shard edit page under patches.

10. anything I missed please list and/or questions, just ask.
