RunUO is over. Official team abandoned it after version 2.3. Mark Sturgill, after take the reins for a while, officially abandoned it at version 2.6, with a few updates to 2.7 beta. So, and now? Mark Sturgill have recommended move to ServUO. I also recommend. You will not need Nerun's Distro for ServUO, it already have a Create World gump plus XMLSpawner by default.
Just in case you still want to use RunUO to run shards of Ultima Online Classic Era, you can try this fork I made from RunUO. Basically I just updated to remove some annoying warnings and to be able to run it with Mono 5.18+ on Linux.
If you want to try a RunUO experimental fork, with a strong .NET 5 foundation and excellent performance, you can try ModernUO. But don't use it to run a shard, it's still in development. But it deserves a look.
Nerun's Distro is an addon for RunUO 2.3 up to 2.7 beta centered on the settlement of the game, using the Premium Spawner engine. Easy to use, this addon includes spawns for a 100% spawned world: Felucca, Trammel, Ilshenar, Malas, Tokuno and Ter Mur. Tutorials in english and portuguese. Includes other scripts:
- CEO's Yet Another Arya Addon Generator v3.0
- Custom Regions in a Box 4.0
- Joeku's Automatic Speed Booster;
- Joeku's Staff Runebook;
- Joeku's Toolbar;
- Static Exporter;
- Talow's Stairs Addon v1.0;
- Termax's Staff Orb;
- Zen Archer's Spawn Editor v2.
There are two folders:
../Distro
../Patch for RunUO 2.3
Take it easy here! You should choose the installation in accord with your RunUO version.
-
Copy folders inside "Distro" folder and paste them inside your RunUO folder (overwrite);
-
Copy folders inside "Patch for RunUO 2.3" and paste them inside your RunUO folder (overwrite);
You need both folders! But copy and paste folder "Distro" 1st, then "2.3" over "Distro"!
-
Just copy folders inside "Distro" and paste them inside your RunUO folder (overwrite).
-
Ignore folder "Patch for RunUO 2.3".
- Use command [spawner, it's the easiest beginning.
- Then click Apocalypse now.
- Now click Let there be light.
- Now Select Spawns by Expansion. There are 3 options: Classic Spawns (pre-ML era), Mondain's Legacy and KR, SA and HS era.
- Read tutorial inside 7-ZIP file for more details and learn how to become an "advanced user".
ALWAYS use the latest Mono version, and ALWAYS download it from Mono Official Download page.
DON'T use Mono version in Debian repositories, it's OLD! Use anything above version 5.10!
Sometimes you can have problems when running RunUO after properly compile the server. If you receive any error message related to a "libz" missing, install these libraries:
zlib1g
zlib1g-dbg
zlib1g-dev
In Debian Linux it's easy, just go to terminal and:
sudo aptitude install zlib1g zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev
