You will need to copy the following files from your currently-installed Ultima Online (or your CD-ROM) to the ${PREFIX}/uox3 directory. map0.mul staidx0.mul statics0.mul verdata.mul tiledata.mul multi.mul multi.idx If you're low on disk space, you can make symlinks for these files to your already-installed copy of UO (if you have your DOS partition mounted), or to your CD-ROM. But this will probably affect game performance (especially if you symlink to a CD-ROM), so it is not advised if you wish to run an even moderately-busy server. Also, edit ${PREFIX}/uox3/uox3.ini to set your world's name, IP address, and other configuration data. To allow clients to play on your shard, have them edit their "LOGIN.CFG" file (in their UO directory). It should contain one line which reads: LoginServer=Your.Shards.IP.Address,2593 The server is created with three default accounts. They are: - username "username", password "password" - username "guest1", password "pass1" - username "guest2", password "pass2" You will probably want to change these. In particular, the very first account in the file is "special" because it has full Game Master (GM) privileges! The file to edit is called accounts.adm, and is located in ${PREFIX}/uox3. The file format is pretty self-explanatory. Documentation on the server and the various commands available to Game Masters (GM's) and other higher-level characters is available in the directory ${PREFIX}/uox3/docs, in HTML and text format. You may be interested in the Chaos GM Tool (CGMT). This is an excellent (Windows-based) tool that makes being a GM or Counselor extremely easy. Create objects, vendors, monster spawns, answer players' help calls, and much more, using a simple point-and-click interface. No more memorizing complex commands!
