  UOX3 - or Ultima Offline eXperiment 3 - is an open-source server emulator for Ultima Online that allows you to run your own private (or public) UO server where you are in control of what rules apply, what features are available and what type of players will inhibit Britannia.

  ### Getting Started

  If you want to dive right in and get started with UOX3, hop on over to the Installation and Setup section.

  ### UOX3 History and Changelog

  To see what's new in the latest stable release of UOX3, or to do an in-depth dive into the history of the UOX3 project itself, check out the History and Credits section of this document.

- Feature Highlights
  Core UOX3 Features

  The core features listed below are the heart and soul of UOX3, and are what helps UOX3 stand out in the UO server emulator space:

  - Open Source (C/C++) - You can download, experiment with and make changes to the source code to fit the particular needs of your UOX3 shard, or branch off to create a spin-off emulator that can be successful in its own right (see UO Emulator timeline for a history of such spin-offs).
  - Cross-Platform Support - UOX3 strives to maintain cross-platform support, so it can run on a variety of Windows, Linux and macOS versions and configurations (including 64-bit ones).
  - JavaScript-based Scripting Engine - UOX3's JS-based scripting engine is a powerful tool that allows anyone with a rudimentary understanding of JavaScript to create new features or enhance existing ones, all without having to dig deep into the C/C++ core of UOX3. Also includes a "packet hook" system that allows intercepting network packets sent by connected clients, and sending custom network packets in response.
  JS example

  Script that lets players tip cows over by double-clicking them:

  function onCharDoubleClick( pUser, targChar ) // DoubleClick Event
  {
  // Generate random number from 0 to 100
  var rndValue = RandomNumber( 0, 100 );
  // If random number was lower than 5, tip the cow!
  if( rndValue < 5 )
  {
  targChar.DoAction( 8 ); // Play falling over animation on cow
  targChar.SoundEffect( 0x78, true ); // Cow goes moo!
  }
  }

  - DFN Files - The definition files, written in flat text files, act as easily editable blueprints and templates for items, NPCs, regions, skills, player races and more.
  DFN example

  Definition for a bag full of reagents, added in-game using the GM command 'add item bagofreagents:

  [bagofreagents]
  {
  get=base_item
  name=bag
  id=0x0e76
  weight=100
  weightmax=40000
  value=7 3
  type=1
  restock=10
  decay=1
  good=5
  packitem=0x0f7a,30
  packitem=0x0f7b,30
  packitem=0x0f84,30
  packitem=0x0f85,30
  packitem=0x0f86,30
  packitem=0x0f88,30
  packitem=0x0f8c,30
  packitem=0x0f8d,30
  }
  - Dynamic Reloading of Scripts - Any scripts, definition files and ini files used by UOX3 can be reloaded on the fly - in just a few seconds - while the server is already running. This makes it easy for shard admins and developers to quickly iterate on changes and additions, without having to restart the server from scratch and reconnect the client to see each change.
  - UO Client Support - UOX3 supports a wide range of UO client versions, all the way from the 4.x versions originally introduced with the Age of Shadows expansion in 2003, to the most recent 7.0.x series available today.
  - Multi-Language Support - UOX3 comes with a custom dictionary system that allows for sending script and system messages to connected clients in the client's default language.
  - Extensive Log System - UOX3 comes with an extensive log system that tracks server errors, warnings, network packets sent and received for each client, commands used, spells cast, combat events, player speech and more.
  Customization Options

  UOX3 has many settings and options that can be tweaked via the main configuration file, uox.ini, as well as in individual regions of the world. More in-depth tweaks are also possible by editing various JS files for skills and items:

  - Client Blocking - Mix and match which client versions to allow on your shard. Players using unsupported clients will be blocked and/or disconnected shortly after joining the shard.
  - Feature Negotiation - UOX3 supports negotiating features with assistant tools that support this, like Razor. Enable or disable various assistant functions like auto-remounting, weather filter and more.
  - ClassicUO Map Tracker - If using the ClassicUO client's World Map, guild and party members will show up on the map if this option is enabled.
  - Skill and Stat-caps - Choose skill and stat-caps for all players via two simple settings.
  - Rogue Skills - Adjust the amount of steps players can take while stealthing, make snooping a crime - or legalize it, disable hostile skills in protected regions, or disable rogue skills altogether.
  - Timers and Effects - Easily tweak timers for decay, weather updates, shop restock, object use delay, idle disconnect, mana regen and more. Fine-tune NPC AI reaction time and the movement speed of NPCs and Boats.
  - Automatic Account Creation - Enable automatic account creation for anyone that attempts to log in, or keep control of who can join your shard by adding accounts manually.
  - Creature Control - Customize which SFX and animations are used for each particular creature, and decide which ones walk on dry land, which ones swim in the sea and which ones fly in the air.
  - Client/Server Features - Full control over which features get enabled in client and on server.
  - Spell Tweaks - Want to customize the delay of the Explosion spell, the damage of the Flamestrike spell, the FX of the Magic Missile spell or the SFX of the Teleport spell? No problem.
  - Combat Tweaks - Cap the max range of archery weapons, turn off damage numbers in combat, give animals a chance to attack players or to flee once their health reaches the threshold you set.
  - Maps, maps, maps - Support for pre-ML or post-ML map sizes (or custom sizes, if client allows), and for reading map data in either .mul or .uop formats.
  - Housing - Track house ownership per character or per account, specify how many houses players can own/co-own, enable/disable item decay in houses, customize lockdowns, secure containers, vendors and more per house type.
  Custom Gameplay Features

  UOX3 comes pre-packed with a host of custom (and optional) features that can be customized and tweaked by shard admins:

  - Region System & Player-run Towns - Region system with built-in support for player-run towns.
  - Regional Weather System - A region-specific weather system allows each region of the game world to have its own unique weather setup, with temperature swings, heat waves, cold snaps, rain, snow and wind - all of which ties into a race system where specific races can have weaknesses or strengths tied to specific weather or temperatures.
  - Regional Spawning System - The regional spawning system allows UOX3 shards to spawn an enormous amount of NPCs and items in the game world without significantly increased world-save and load times, since the objects spawned through this system are only kept in memory for as long as the server is running, and will respawn upon startup.
  - Advanced Trade System - The advanced trade system in UOX3 can be used to setup dynamic prices for goods with NPC vendors across the game world, with prices fluctuating based on the amount of items sold to or bought from players in each region.
  - Customizable Ore System - Customize the types of ore available in your world, where to find them and how hard they are to dig out of the ground.
  - Rank and Quality Crafting System - Custom rank system for crafting skills allow for variable stats and quality of crafted items.
  - Race System - The race system in UOX3 is an extensive and customizable system that can be applied to both players and NPCs. Through this system, races can be setup as allies or enemies, can be given skill bonuses or penalties, have different skill and stat caps, can take extra damage from specific weapons (undead race vs silver weapons, for instance), and more.
  - Advancement Gates - Shard admins can setup "advancement gates" which sets up players who step through them with specific skills, stats and equipment, and can be used to give players a head start or to setup predefined "classes" beyond what the UO client's character creation options allow for.
  - Persecution - Getting killed on an UOX3 shard is not the end. Ghosts can fight back! By entering combat mode, ghosts can cause trouble for their killers by draining their mana at opportune moments!
  - Ambient Footstep Sounds - Ever noticed how in regular UO, the footsteps of your character always sound the same, no matter what kind of surface you walk on? Enable ambient footstep sounds in UOX3, and you'll be walking on wood, gravel, stone and swamp in no time!
  UO-Specific Gameplay Features

  UOX3 also supports various features from regular UO:

  - Combat - Combat system with rules that align closely with official UO around the time of Publish 15/16, just before the release of the Age of Shadows expansion. Ruleset can be modified and/or extended to support specific preferences.
  - Crafting - Prefer baking bread over hacking and slashing? Try your hand at Alchemy, Bowcraft, Carpentry, Cartography, Inscription, Smithing, Tailoring or Tinkering!
  - Gathering - Mine your way to an ingot empire, introduce some trees to your friend - the axe, or relax with some casual fishing.
  - Persistent Housing - Classic persistent housing system with lockdowns, secure containers, co-owners, friendlists, public/private houses.
  - Party System - Party up with friends and share a private, server-wide chat.
  - Guildstones - Guild system that relies on classic guildstones that can be placed in player's houses.
  - Player Vendors - Set up a trade empire across Britannia with a little help from player vendors!
- UOX3 Support and Community

  If at any point during your adventures with UOX3 you feel you could use someone to talk to, whether to help you resolve an issue you've encountered or just to have someone to share your journey with, feel free to join and post at the community forums at UOX3.org, or hop onto the UOX3 Discord server if you'd rather have a more direct line of communication with fellow UOX3 users and developers. Or do both!

- UOX3 Story

  "Story? You mean UOX3 has LORE?"

  Yep! As the only UO Server Emulator, UOX3 comes with its own background story, originally written by Cironian back in 1997/1998. Check it out below!

  Chapter One - Death

  You knew that the world was ending right now before your eyes, and there was nothing you could do about it anymore. Lord British was dead and the Guardians demon legions were swarming all through the once proud city of Britain. Bodies were lying all around the streets, thieves next to nobles and the former castle guards.

  That body which you used to call your own is still bleeding at your slightly transparent feet but it is obviously too late for any kind of medical treatment. Your spells have allowed you to take two of those red abnormities with you, but when the Shadowlord Astaroth approached you, you knew that your last minute has come. You stood paralysed as his dark finger stretched out to your chest and when it touched you, you had left your body even before it hit the ground. You notice that some of those who are falling to the assault of the demons don't even leave a spirit behind anymore; it seems like after his death the magic that Lord British gave to his citizens to survive past their own death is beginning to fade.

  Having wandered through the bloody streets for some time you see that there is still some light spilling through the windows of one of the nearby houses. You glance up to the sign above the door and note the symbol of the virtues, the ankh, painted onto it. Even though you ghostly state denies all colors of the world reach you, somehow you still recognize the golden color of the symbol. After thinking for only a moment you reach for the doorknob, only to see your hand go right through it. "Oh, I forgot...", you smile to yourself, these words being only a whisper in the storm of the fighting to those still standing locked in combat with the demonic hordes.

  Despite your current disembodied state you take a deep breath and then step right through the closed door.

  Chapter Two - End of the world

  Inside the building you can make out a few people in grey robes, sitting around a candle like it could protect them from the Guardians assault outside. One of the people seems to note your presense and turns around:

  "Ah, another lost soul that has found the way here. With the forces of chaos drawing into this realm, my healing powers are fading from minute to minute, but I might try to give you a new body if you assist me". The healer is beginning to make arcane gestures and you feel a wave of restoring energy rush through your astral body. With the rest of your powers you finally succeed to become physical again.

  "This is it", the healer says, "my powers are now completely gone". You place your weak body among the others and listen to the screams outside, although those are becoming less and less by now.

  You know that this new life will certainly only last for a couple of minutes, as the magic forces which bind this world together are beginning to fail, with obvious consequences: Lightnings are striking down from the sky by the dozen, giant earthquakes are threatening to tear the land apart and you can almost feel the pure evil power of the Guardian condensing in the air, converting this world to - what? You remember hearing one of the court mages whisper with his dying breath that the Guardian would use conquered worlds to create the Shadowlords. If that is true, then this world is really lost.

  You glance out through the window and see one of the black moongates open with more demons stepping out of it. A thought crosses your mind: There can be no place worse than this one, so it might be worth the try. You tell the others that you intend to go through one of those gates to survive the end of this world and most of them agree to try it. You walk over to the door and silently unlock it and open it just so much that you can get a look at a part of the road outside. What you see is terrible. Sweet Dreams Inn is already completely burned down and the ground seems to be painted with blood.

  "Now!", you scream as you see another of the black gates open just a few steps away from the door. You hit the door open and start to run, but just a second before you would have reached the gate a demon steps out of it, looking down at you in a quite angry way. You signal the other to run into the gate while you divert the creature, even though you have no idea on how to do that. As it rushes toward you, you notice one of Lord Britishs personal castle guards lying on the ground here. Still in his hand you see one of the famous order shields, magically treated by the King himself. You reach for it and with all your strength hold it in front of you as the demon brings his fist down on you.

  The shield is shattered in two under the might of the blow, but by that the magic still inherent in it is released in a brilliant flash of light; not enough to kill the demon, but enough to render it helpless for a moment and you do not need any more time to run between its legs and towards the black gate. Knowing that this world could die any second now you jump through the gate...

  You find yourself flying through some sort of dark tunnel; at the end of which you see another world. But you can't say that world appears much better to you than the one you just left, because it looks like the homeland of the demons. Thousands of them are waiting at the exit of the gate and it seems like they have already taken care of those that entered the gate before you. You look back over your shoulder at the place you came from and at the same moment that world ends. Suddendly the gate, having lost one of its exits vanishes, leaving you suspended in the Ethereal Void.

  You see millions of stars all around you, except that those are no stars but worlds; just like the one you were born and lived in until this day, and another one of them is now serving the Guardian...

  Chapter Three - The lost splinter

  You awaken. You are lying on a perfectly ordinary bed in an absolutely normal room of an inn. You rise to your feet and look out of the window to see the wonderful town of Britain, still quite unharmed as if that which you remember never happened. You get dressed and walk down the stairs of the inn. The first thing you notice is the lack of people that are usually shoving past each other here. On the street you see that this phenomenon is not limited to the inn, but seems to be present all around Britain.

  You spin around as you notice a movement in the corner of your eye. Your eyes widen as you see Lord Blackthorne himself standing there as if the Guardians attack on Britannia never happened.

  "I guess thou hast questions on your mind", your hear him,"like why thou art here when your memories tell thee that everything must be quite different. The reason for that is that thou art no longer in the world that thou knowest - nor one even like it. As thou possibly knowest, there are thousands of copies of the land called Britannia existing in the shards of Mondains foul gem of immortality. Now, for some reason when the worlds were split from each other, this special world was created without any inhabitants. Now, as the creature calling himself the Guardian conquered other worlds like yours, some people always entered one of the black moongates in the moment of destruction and thus ending up here. Thou mightest call this world the Lost Splinter. Well, I would really like to discuss this matter further with thee, but I am due for a game of chess with Lord British."

  "He lives?", you exclaim. "Well, in fact the two of us ended up here when we were fleeing from the world that later became the Shadowlord Nosfentor." His face turns sad: "How fitting to run away from that world which became the embodiment of cowardice... But now I must hasten to the castle. Feel free to take a look around this world. There are not many people here, but at least the ecology yield more than enough food and resources for us few."

  As you watch the Lord disappear down the street you start to think. At least you would be safe from the Guardian here - for now. You start to walk through an unusually empty Britain; there is so much to learn about this world, so you might as well start right now.

- # Installation and Setup

- Requirements

  ### OS / Platform

  UOX3 comes with cross-platform support for running on a variety of Windows (~Win7 to Win10), Linux and macOS versions, in both 32bit and 64bit.

  ### Hardware

  Default install size for UOX3 alone clocks in at under 8MB, with an additional 400-500 MB being required for data files from Ultima Online. Total size will grow based on amount of content added to shard. Minimum 1+ GB free storage space recommended.

  Default memory usage for an empty shard ranges from 35-50 MB, but will grow based on amount of content added to shard and number of players connected at any given time. Minimum 1+ GB RAM recommended.

  ### Ultima Online Client

  It is highly recommended to use the same data files for your UOX3 shard as found in the Ultima Online client you will be connecting to UOX3 with, to minimize the chance of issues related to mismatching files.

  UOX3 currently supports client versions ranging from 4.0.0p to at least 7.0.87.x, and requires the following minimum set of UO data files to run:

  - map0.mul/map0LegacyMUL.uop (depending on client version)
  - staidx0.mul
  - statics0.mul
  - multi.mul
  - multi.idx
  - tiledata.mul

  Additional map and statics data files are optional, and required only if you want the other worlds/facets to be available on your shard.

  Bonus Tip - MUL vs UOP Map Files

  Clients after v7.0.24.2 started using new file format for map files - uop - that previously required conversion to mul format in order to be loaded by UOX3, leading to a recommendation of using a client version earlier than this. However, starting with v0.99.3, UOX3 can now load these uop files directly. No need to convert! If for whatever reason you still want to convert files between the .mul and .uop formats, check out the Additional UOX3 Info > Converting UOP to MUL section!

  It is strongly recommended that you download and install a version of Ultima Online before continuing with the download and setup of UOX3 itself. You can either download the latest available Classic Client from the official UO website, or you can head on over to the community forums to read more about UOX3's compatibility with various UO Client versions.

  While you're at it, go grab the UO:R Community Edition of Razor, a tool you'll need later to remove the encryption from the UO client, allowing it to connect to UOX3 - which only accepts encryption-less connections.

  ### Linux/macOS Platforms

  While UOX3 supports both Linux and macOS, neither the standard UO client nor Razor run natively on these platforms. As an alternative, have a look at ClassicUO, an open-source, cross-platform client that supports both Linux and macOS (and Windows!), and which does not rely on Razor to work.

- Downloading UOX3

  To get started with UOX3, you have a couple of different options:

  ### 1) Stable All-in-One

  The first, and most straight-forward option is to download the latest stable All-in-One UOX3 package for your platform (Windows/Linux/macOS) from the Downloads page at UOX3.org. It contains all the files you need to get a bare-bones version of UOX3 up and running; a clean slate for you to build on.

  ### 2) Experimental Build

  If it has been some time since the stable All-in-One package was updated, it might be a better approach to try out the "Experimental Build" sometimes posted on the forums at UOX3.org. These versions contain all the latest changes and additions that have been made to UOX3 since the previous stable release, but could also potentially contain additional bugs and errors due to the "cutting edge" nature.

  Note: For either of the two above options, unzip the downloaded file to a folder of your choice, preferably something easy to find and access, like C:\UOX3.

  ### 3) Compile Source Yourself

  The third option, for more advanced users, would be to download the UOX3 source-code directly from GitHub and compile it yourself. If you're interested in the inner workings of UOX3 and/or potentially want to contribute code-wise, this might be the option for you. See Additional UOX3 Info > Compiling UOX3 Source for further instructions!

- Configuring Your UOX3 Shard
  tldr; - Quick Start Guide

  If you think the detailed instructions below are too wordy, try this quick start guide instead, and refer to the full setup guide if you run into any problems along the way:

  1. Download the UO Client, and Razor. Run Razor in WinXP SP2/3 Compatibility mode. For Linux/macOS users, find a way to copy the installed UO directory on a Windows machine over to your Linux/macOS one, and then rely on ClassicUO client instead of the UO+Razor combination.
  2. Download UOX3 for your platform of choice.
  3. Set client versions allowed on your shard via CLIENTSUPPORT# lines in [clientsupport] section of UOX.INI.
  4. Update shard name and IP (if other than local) in [play server list] section of UOX.INI
  5. Update DATADIRECTORY path in [directories] section of UOX.INI; point it to UO folder, or folder with UO data files.
  6. Change default username/password for account 0 in UOX3/accounts/accounts.adm.
  7. Start UOX3!
  8. Start Razor, and use it to load up the UO client, then log in!

  Assuming you now have a UOX3 folder that contains UOX3.exe (Windows only), uox3 binary (Linux/macOS only), some .ini files and a bunch of folders like accounts, dfndata and js, it's time to dig in and get your hands dirty with some ini editing!

  ### Step 1) Open UOX.INI

  Open UOX.INI from the root UOX3 folder using your favourite text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Vim, nano, etc.)

  ### Step 2) Limit Allowed Client Versions

  Under the [clientsupport] section, enable or disable specific UO client version ranges to determine which versions of the UO client are allowed to connect to your UOX3 shard. As a general rule, try to keep the allowed ranges as narrow as possible to avoid potential issues with different client versions behaving differently. Any client version you enable here also enable a range of versions up to the version in the next available setting.

  ### Step 3) Name your Shard

  Locate the section called [play server list], which should contain a line similar to this:

  SERVERLIST=Default UOX3 Server,127.0.0.1,2593

  Replace "Default UOX3 Server" with the name you'd like to use for your UOX3 shard. Keep the name short (below 30 chars); the longer it is, the less likely it will show up in the UO client's server list without being truncated.

  ### Step 4) Set the IP Address

  If you are running UOX3 on the same computer as your UO client, and you only intend to access the server locally, you can leave the IP address in the SERVERLIST line as is (127.0.0.1). If you intend to have the shard accessible over LAN or the Internet, you need to replace 127.0.0.1 with with your LAN or public Internet IP.

  However, instead of replacing the local IP with a LAN/Internet IP, which will restrict you from connecting to the shard locally, you can alternatively add multiple SERVERLIST= lines in the .ini file, each one with a different IP assigned. The below example would allow connections from both local, LAN and Internet sources:

  [play server list]
  {
  SERVERLIST=Local UOX3 Shard,127.0.0.1,2593
  SERVERLIST=LAN UOX3 Shard,192.168.1.X,2593
  SERVERLIST=Online UOX3 Shard,X.X.X.X,2593
  }

  2593 is the Port address that your UOX3 shard will be listening for connections on, and can be left as the default value unless you have a specific reason to use another Port.

  ### Step 5) Set the path to UO files

  Scroll down to the [directories] section of the ini file, and locate this line:

  DATADIRECTORY=c:/program files/ultima online/

  If you're running UOX3 on the same computer as your UO client, point the DATADIRECTORY filepath to the folder where you installed Ultima Online.

  If you're running UOX3 on a computer without the UO client installed, point the DATADIRECTORY filepath to a folder that contains the following data-files, copied from the UO Client:

  List of Required UO Data Files
  - map*.mul/map*LegacyMUL.uop (Depending on client version)
  - mapdif*.mul (Only certain older client versions)
  - multi.idx
  - multi.mul
  - stadif*.mul (Only certain older client versions)
  - staidx*.mul
  - statics*.mul
  - tiledata.mul

  NOTE: The * in the above filenames indicate that there's more than one similarly named files, and the different numbers in each filename represents a different world/facet. If you want your shard to support all the available worlds/facets in the client, make sure to copy all of these files. Alternatively, just copy the files with a 0 in the name, if you just want the original UO map and nothing else - although be aware that in this case players will be unable to go to those additional worlds!

  ### Step 6) Setting up the Admin Account

  The final step in the UOX3 setup process is to setup the administrator account for your shard! Save and close UOX.INI, and instead navigate your way to the UOX3/accounts/ folder, where you open the file called accounts.adm in your text editor, before locating this section of the file:

  accounts.adm
  ...

  SECTION ACCOUNT 0
  {
  NAME admin
  PASS admin
  FLAGS 0x8000
  PATH ./accounts/admin/
  TIMEBAN 0x0
  LASTIP 127.0.0.1
  CONTACT unknown
  CHARACTER-1 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  CHARACTER-2 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  CHARACTER-3 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  CHARACTER-4 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  CHARACTER-5 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  CHARACTER-6 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  CHARACTER-7 0xffffffff [UNKNOWN]
  }

  ...

  This is account #0 on your shard, also known as the administrator account. Any character created on this account will automatically be granted all GM powers. As such, it would be a good idea to change the username and password from the default ADMIN/ADMIN to something more original, creative and most importantly - secure!

  Additional accounts can be created by copying an existing SECTION ACCOUNT # and pasting it at the bottom of the file, followed by manually incrementing the account number of the new account to the next available number (1 higher than the previous one). It can be a good idea to create a second, non-admin account to use for testing purposes, as GM/admin characters are often not subject to the same gameplay rules as regular players.

  If you make changes to this file while UOX3 is already running, you will have to reload the accounts from UOX3's console menu.

  Bonus Tips - Additional Account Creation Methods

  Tip #1 - Adding accounts through newaccounts.adm

  A second, alternate way of adding new accounts is to edit - or create, if it doesn't already exist, a file called newaccounts.adm in the same folder, and adding in one line of the following lines (pressing Enter after each) for each account you want to create:

  USER=username,password,flags,email

  Note that additions to newaccounts.adm only go into effect when the server is restarted.

  Tip #2 - Enabling auto-creation of accounts

  Finally, you can enable auto-creation of accounts on login by setting the UOX.INI setting INTERNALACCOUNTCREATION from 0 to 1 and restarting your UOX3 shard (or reloading the INI from the UOX3 console menu).

- (Optional) Populating Your UOX3 Shard

  By default, UOX3 comes as a blank slate - a tabula rasa - on which you can build and craft your own unique UO shard. However, should you wish to get a head-start, you can use of the "Default UOX3 Worldfiles" to add basic decorations such as doors and signs for all the mainland UO towns on the Felucca facet (world 0), and/or the "Community-made Spawn.dfn" file that will populate your world with all kinds of NPCs, from animals and monsters to shopkeepers and townfolk.

  Linux/MacOS users take note: you might need to run the default worldfiles and/or spawn files through dos2unix to convert the line breaks to the correct format for your platform, or UOX3 might not be able to read them properly. Just run the command "dos2unix *" on the files before copying them into the UOX3/shared and/or UOX3/dfndata/spawn directories.

  ### Default UOX3 Worldfiles

  Note: It is recommended that you download and add these default worldfiles to your shard BEFORE your first startup and before you create your first character, as applying these will essentially overwrite your existing worldfiles and erase any characters or items you might have created already.

  Click the Default UOX3 Worldfiles link over at the UOX3.org Downloads-page to download a zip-file containing a default set of world decorations for your shard. Once the download is complete, unzip this file into your UOX3/shared/ folder, overwriting any existing files in that folder.

  ### Community-made Spawn.dfn

  Click the Community-made Spawn.dfn link over at the UOX3.org Downloads-page to download a zip-file with regional spawns setup to spawn a variety of NPCs across the Felcuca facet (world 0) of your UOX3 shard. Unzip this file into the UOX3/dfndata/spawn/ folder, overwriting any existing (and presumably empty) spawn.dfn file in that folder.

- Starting Up Your UOX3 Shard

  ### Windows

  Navigate to the root of your UOX3 folder, and double-click on UOX3.exe to start UOX3.

  ### Linux/macOS

  Open a new terminal window, navigate to the root of your UOX3 directory, and start UOX3 by entering the following command: ./uox3

  ### Common

  UOX3 should now start up, and a barrage of text should scroll off your screen as UOX3 loads the various UO data files, DFNs and scripts. Barring any errors during this process, the scrolling should come to a halt with the following lines displayed at the bottom:

  | UOX: Startup Complete
  o------------------------------------------------------------------------------o
  | Thread: CheckConsoleThread has started

  If you see these lines, and there were no errors highlighted with a red [failed] during the startup process, your UOX3 shard is now ready to accept its first client connection!

  Bonus Tip - Shutting down UOX3

  Should you ever need to shut down UOX3 for any reason, it's important that you do it correctly to avoid any loss of data. If you simply close UOX3 using the 'x' in the corner of the window, any changes made since the last worldsave will be permanently lost.

  Instead, either use the in-game GM command 'shutdown # (where # is the number of seconds until shutdown), or press * in the UOX3 console to disable safe-mode, followed by either Q or Esc. This will prompt UOX3 to initiate the shutdown process, saving the game world and freeing up used memory.

- Connecting to UOX3

  A couple of things are required to connect and login to your UOX3 shard; an Ultima Online client, and a tool that can remove encryption from said client. Such a tool is needed since UOX3 does not accept connections from encrypted clients.

  ### Ultima Online

  If you followed the recommendations in the Requirements section up above, you will already have an Ultima Online client installed, and can skip to the next step about Razor. If not - don't panic! Go grab the latest client download - titled Classic Client - from the official UO website and install it, or visit the UOX3 community forums to read more about different UO client versions/expansions and compatibility with UOX3.

  ### Removing the Client Encryption with Razor

  With a UO client downloaded and installed, it's time to take care of the encryption. Go grab the UO:R Community Edition of Razor if you haven't already. It's being regularly maintained and updated, unlike the original Razor. Once you've got it unzipped (or installed, if there's an installer), right-click on Razor.exe, choose Properties, click the Compatibility tab, and check the checkbox for "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)". This, to avoid some potential issues with performance/client freezing on startup or login. Once done, start Razor!

  After a short wait, you'll be greeted by a welcome screen. Unless you encounter any issues, or you have multiple UO Client versions installed, just leave the Load Client part at 2D Client (Auto Detect). Make sure Patch client encryption is checked, and that the IP and Port matches what you setup for UOX3 in UOX.INI. If running client and server on same computer, the default UOX3 settings are 127.0.0.1 as IP and 2593 as Port.

  Once basic setup of Razor is complete, click the Okay button to launch the UO client. At this point you are now ready to enter your UOX3 username and password and log in!

  ### Alternative for Linux/macOS users - Use ClassicUO Client

  Note for Linux/macOS (and even Windows) users: An alternative to the regular UO client and Razor, neither of which run natively on Linux or macOS, is the ClassicUO client - an open-source, cross-platform client that can be used to connect to UOX3 without Razor - though it still requires the original UO data files to run, so you'll need to figure out a way to get those files over to your Linux/macOS machine.

  ClassicUO Client

  ClassicUO is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS), open source implementation of the Ultima Online Classic Client that runs faster, smoother and with more features and customizability than the original UO client. Some of the interesting features it offers:

  - Run client at up to 250 FPS
  - Run at any resolution, and any window size
  - Customize zoom level
  - Show lightsources even at max light level
  - Show custom aura colors under feet of all characters
  - Show network stats
  - Various quality of life features that have been available in various assist tools for decades... like showing stumps instead of trees, hiding roofs (a bit dubious...), etc.

  Check it out at the ClassicUO Website or @ GitHub!

- # First Five Minutes

- Logging In and Creating a Character

  Once your UOX3 shard has successfully started up (and importantly, remains running), and the UO client has loaded the login screen after you started it using a tool like Razor, you are ready to log in to your UOX3 shard for the first time.

  Enter the same username and password that you added in UOX3/accounts/accounts.adm during the initial UOX3 setup, and click Login. Select your UOX3 shard from the server listing that appears, and proceed through character creation to create your first character. Note that if you are logging in using the first account listed in accounts.adm - account 0 - all characters created on this account will automatically receive GM powers!

- Using Your First GM Commands

  Great! You have a character. Now what?

  If you're playing on the first account listed in UOX3\ACCOUNTS\accounts.adm (as you should), your characters will be classified as "admin" characters with automatic access to all Game Master and Admin powers and commands. However, the character doesn't quite look the part yet!

  ### Becoming a GM

  Let's start by turning your character into a proper Game Master. Type the following command into the UO client (don't forget the command prefix at the start of the command!):
  'make gm

  Once you hit Enter, your regular UO mouse cursor (a hand) will be replaced by a targeting cursor, so go ahead and target your own character, who should now get a nice, new, shiny red GM robe, which also grants the awesome, ultimate destructive power of... being able to walk through doors. For admin characters, who already have access to all commands, this is more of a formality than anything else.

  Bonus Tip - Changing the Command Prefix

  By default, the command prefix character used at the start of every GM command in UOX3 is set to '. You can change this command prefix via a setting called COMMANDPREFIX in UOX.INI if you'd rather use something else.

  ### Changing Colour of GM Robe

  Should you not be happy with the colour of your new robe, you can give it a facelift using the following command:
  'dye

  Once you target your character - or any other dynamic object in the game world - a menu (referred to in UO as a GUMP) will pop up, allowing you to choose a colour to apply to the targeted object.

  Bonus Tip - Dynamic vs Static Items

  Items you see in-game can usually be divided into two broad categories - dynamic and static items.

  Static items are a permanent addition to the map, and can be seen even when logged into an otherwise empty shard. These items cannot be removed, modified or moved around without the use of specialized, 3rd party map-editing tools.

  Dynamic items, on the other hand, are items you add to the game world, ones you can remove, move and manipulate. These are the decorations you place out, the doors that can be opened and the items in your backpack and equipped on your character's paperdoll. Some other emulators refer to these items (and characters) under the umbrella term mobiles.

  ### Becoming a Player Again

  If you want to revert back to looking like a normal player, or if you want to strip another player of their GM powers, you can use this command to reverse the process (don't worry, as an admin you'll still retain all your GM powers!):
  'make player

  Bonus Tip - Counselors

  The make command has a third variant, which allows you to assign someone as a Counselor for your shard. Like for GMs, the role of Counselor comes with a fancy robe, but a blue one instead of the GM's red:
  'make cns

  Someone who has been made a Counselor will have access to some - but not all - GM powers, in particular those that involve responding to player help requests and travelling around the game world.

  As with the command to turn someone into a GM, be careful who you deal out such power to. Remember: Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

- Getting Around the World

  Some of the most important GM commands to learn are the ones that allow you to traverse across Britannia and other realms in the blink of an eye, and the ones that provide you with information about where you are at any given point of time.

  The 'where command will show you the current in-game coordinates of your character, in the format of x, y, z, worldNumber, instanceID. If you walk around for a bit in the game, and use the command a couple more times, you might notice these coordinates changing. Before moving on to the next step, use where again, but this time make a note of the first three values. You'll need them soon!

  Next, as an exercise, try out the following GM commands to see what they do:
  'tele
  'travel
  'goplace 1
  'goplace 20

  Now that you have travelled the world, been places, maybe seen things you can never forget... it's time to return to your roots. Let's go back to the starting point, the location you were at when you used the where command earlier:
  'go x y z (replace x y and z with the values you got from the 'where command)

  UOX3 has many other commands that allow you to manipulate the coordinates of both characters and items in various ways, but these basic few are your bread and butter, the ones you'll keep coming back to in order to get things done.

- Adding Items and NPCs

  With the basics of travel commands under your belt already, it's time to move on to something a bit more interesting: Learning how to add objects like items and NPCs to your UOX3 shard! Your go-to tool for this will be the add command, which is a multi-purpose command that can be used in a variety of ways.

  ### Adding Items via Add-menu

  Let's jump right in using the following command:
  'add

  A GUMP menu system should now pop up, listing items and NPCs categorized by function and purpose. Select "Gear" from the menu, then "Clothing" from the next sub-menu, then "Headwear", before finally selecting "feathered hat". This last selection will close the GUMP menu, and add the selected object - in this case a feathered hat - into your character's backpack.

  Open the backpack by double-clicking your character, then double-clicking the backpack in the character paperdoll that pops up, or by using the default UO shortcut key - alt+i. Next, click and drag the feathered hat out of your backpack and onto the character paperdoll to equip it. Congratulations! You are now a GM wearing a feathered hat.

  This "add-menu" can be used to add a variety of items to the game. Some are gear, like the feathered hat, some are decorations that you drag out of your backpack and place in the game-world somewhere, and some are tools or resources used by your character's skills - like a pickaxe for mining, or a hammer for blacksmithing.

  Bonus Tip - Moving Immovable Items

  While adding items to your world, you might encounter a situation where the items you add won't highlight when you move your mouse cursor over them, and they cannot be picked up or dragged around, perhaps due to the item's movable state makes it immovable. The quickest way to overcome this issue is to use the following command, which will allow you to move all dynamic objects regardless of their immovable state:
  'allmove on

  ### Adding NPCs via Add-menu

  You can also add NPCs using the same command. Open the add-menu again using the same 'add command, and select "NPCs" from the menu. Next, select "Monsters", followed by "Humanoids", and finally "Orc". A targeting cursor will be presented, and once you select a spot in the game world, an Orc will appear.

  Since you're a GM with unlimited power, you are by default invulnerable to damage, so the Orc won't even bother attacking you, but will just start wandering around aimlessly. However, should you wish to engage the Orc in a fight, you can disable your invulnerability through the make player command from earlier, or the following command:
  'invul false

  Bonus Tip - Resurrecting Players (or yourself)

  If you bit off more than you could chew, and the Orc actually ended up killing your character, and you're now stuck in the bleak, grey realm of the dead - despair not! There's a command for that:
  'resurrect

  Target the ghost of any dead player character using this command to instantly bring them back to life!

  ### Adding Items or NPCs Directly

  Adding objects through the add-menu is all swell and good, but it can be a bit cumbersome and slow, especially if the items you need are nested deep inside some sub-menu! Thankfully there are faster ways of adding these objects. As long as you know the ID of the object you want to add, you can use the add command to add these objects directly without needing to slog through any menus!

  Try the following two commands:
  'add item 0x171A
  'add npc orc

  Both of the above examples should provide you with a targeting cursor to let you choose exactly where to add the item with ID 0x171a (feathered hat) or the NPC with id "orc" (Orc, duh). What if you don't know the ID of the object, though?

  To find the ID of an object that you want to add, you can either look it up in the DFN files under the UOX3\DFNDATA\ITEM or UOX3\DFNDATA\NPC folders, or you can use an in-game command that is also a powerful GM tool for adjusting the properties of objects - the tweak command.

  Try using this command to find the ID of the feathered hat or the Orc that you previously added:
  'tweak

  Take note of the ID displayed in the GUMP menu that pops up, and compare it to the ID you supplied to the add command above.

  Bonus Tip - Removing Items and NPCs

  Both items and NCPs can be removed using the remove command, which will bring up a targeting cursor to let you select which object to remove. Try it now, and target either the Orc or the feathered hat you previously dragged to your character's paperdoll:
  'remove

  As soon as you target an object, said object will be instantly and permanently removed from view and deleted from the game world!

- Next Steps to Master UOX3

  What is covered in the previous few sections of this document just barely scratches the surface of all there is to learn, know and do in UOX3, and it would be impossible to cover everything without writing a long novel of an instruction manual.

  From here on out, it's up to you to really dig into the guts of UOX3 to explore, discover, learn and eventually grok UOX3 completely. Fret not, however! You still have tools like these your disposal to ease your journey:

  ### The UOX3 Command List

  The command list contains detailed information on each and every command available in UOX3. If you're unsure about the specifics of a certain command, this is where you go. It can be found in the next section below, titled Additional UOX3 Info.

  ### The Feature Documentation

  Extensive documentation is also available for each major feature supported by UOX3. Go to the Feature Documentation section of this document if you want to dig into the various systems.

  ### The JS Engine

  The JavaScript Engine section of this documentation provides information about the scripting engine used in UOX3, along with details of all the various events/triggers, methods, functions and properties that you can make use of in your JS scripts to make your shard come to life.

  ### The Community Forums

  The community forums at UOX3.org contains many resources for both coding, scripting and managing your UOX3 shard. It can also be a great place to have a discussion on topics that don't require an immediate and instant response.

  ### The Community Discord

  Join the UOX3 community on Discord for a more direct line of communication with fellow UOX3 users and developers. Forums are great, but often it can be more efficient to have direct, near real-time conversations with other people.

  Using the above tools, and through the magic of friendship and community, there is nothing you cannot accomplish in UOX3 if you set your mind to it.

- # Additional UOX3 Info

- UOX.INI Settings

  The settings listed below can be found in uox.ini in the root UOX3 data folder, and can be modified and reloaded dynamically while UOX3 is running. After making a change, simply use the 'reloadini command in-game, or console command '1' after unlocking the UOX3 console by pressing '*'.

  DFN Tags: spawnobj, spawnobjlist, amount, interval, morez

  64 - IT_LOCKEDSPAWNCONT
  When a spawn container of type IT_SPAWNCONT spawns an item inside the container, the item type changes to IT_LOCKEDSPAWNCONT, locking the container. This lock can be opened using the Picklocking skill or the Magic Unlock spell - at which point it will return to type IT_SPAWNCONT until another item has spawned. Container can be trapped by setting MOREZ value to 1.

  DFN Tags: spawnobj, spawnobjlist, amount, interval, morez

  65 - IT_UNLOCKABLESPAWNCONT
  Similar to IT_SPAWNCONT spawn containers, except this won't automatically lock itself when a new item is spawned. Container can be trapped by setting MOREZ value to 1.

  DFN Tags: spawnobj, spawnobjlist, amount, interval, morez

  69 - IT_AREASPAWNER
  Same setup as IT_NPCSPAWNER, but with the addition of offsets for X and Y location to allow spawner to spawn the NPCs randomly in an area instead of directly on top of the spawner object. To set those offsets, use 'set more 0 0 # #' where the last two digits represents the X and Y offsets, i.e. how far away from the spawn object in X direction and Y direction can NPCs spawn.

  Note: If the NPCs being spawned are setup with an NPCWander type of 3 or 4, make sure that the FX1, FY1 and FZ1 DFN tags for the NPC is set to -1. This way, the NPC will use the spawn location coordinates as center point for their wandering, and they will stick within the range defined in FX2.

  83 - IT_RACEGATE
  Race Gate objects are similar to Monster Gates in that they transform players who step through the gate/collide with the object. However, instead of transforming the player to a monster, this changes the character's race! Simply use 'set morex # where # is a race ID from UOX3/dfndata/race/races.dfn. Additionally, set the MOREY property to 1 to allow players to make use of the race gate more than once, or 0 to make it single-use only.

  85 - IT_DAMAGEOBJECT
  Damage objects applies damage to the character using or colliding with them. Set the base damage dealt using the MOREX item property/tag, and add a random amount of damage on top of that using MOREY and MOREZ properties/tags. Useful for traps in dungeons!

  87 - IT_TRASHCONT
  By assigning type 87 to a container, you turn it into a trash container that instantly disposes/deletes any item dropped onto it, indiscriminately. For an alternative with many additional options, check out the trashbarrel script in UOX3/js/server/house/trashbarrel.js

  89 - IT_MAPCHANGEOBJECT
  Map change objects can be used to teleport to another map/world on the server, like from Felucca to Trammel, or vice versa. To specify which world to travel to, use 'set more worldNum.

  90 - IT_WORLDCHANGEGATE
  World Change Gates can display the world with different season visuals for players, based on the value of the MOREX property set on the gate object. Available MOREX values: 0 - Spring, 1 - Summer, 2 - Fall, 3 - Winter, 4 - Desolation

  101 - IT_MORPHOBJECT
  Morph objects allow players that use them to polymorph into a specified creature, based on the bodyID set in the morph object's MOREX property (Example: 'set morex 0x0011 to morph into an orc). Once the object is used, the item type changes to 102 - IT_UNMORPHOBJECT.

  102 - IT_UNMORPHOBJECT
  Using an unmorph object will reverse the effects of a previously used morph object, and return a player's body back to its original state. Once the object is used, the item type changes to 101 - IT_MORPHOBJECT.

  105 - IT_DRINK
  Items with the item type 105 are considered drinkable objects. Usage handled in JS (UOX3/js/server/resource/pitchers.js).

  125 - IT_ESCORTNPCSPAWNER
  Escort NPC spawner used to spawn NPCs for escort quests. Same setup as IT_NPCSPAWNER, but with the addition of offsets for X and Y location to allow spawner to spawn the NPCs randomly in an area instead of directly on top of the spawner object. To set those offsets, use 'set more 0 0 # #' where the last two digits represents the X and Y offsets, i.e. how far away from the spawn object in X direction and Y direction can NPCs spawn.

  Note: If the NPCs being spawned are setup with an NPCWander type of 3 or 4, make sure that the FX1, FY1 and FZ1 DFN tags for the NPC is set to -1. This way, the NPC will use the spawn location coordinates as center point for their wandering, and they will stick within the range defined in FX2.

- Maps, Statics and Tiledata

  ### Maps and Statics

  Upon startup, UOX3 will attempt to load map and statics files based on the parameters provided in UOX3/dfndata/maps/maps.dfn. It is important that the map sizes (in height and width) defined in this file match up to the actual files being loaded. Note that the default sizes match up with map files present in v5.0.0a and newer.

  To make UOX3 load maps of a different size, make sure to update the X and Y sizes in this file accordingly!

  ### Tiledata

  UOX3/dfndata/maps/tiles.dfn allows overriding flags/properties stored in tiledata.mul for different tiles in UO, which UOX3 uses for various purposes such as determining whether a surface is walkable, climbable (ladders) or blocks line of sight. It is most commonly used to address various issues with tiles, such as missing or incorrect flags, without having to modify the tiledata.mul file itself.

  Example of syntax:
  [TILE 0x0AA4] // Tile ID
  {
  BLOCKING=1 // Tiledata flag, on (1)
  STANDABLE=0 // Tiledata flag, off (0)
  }

- (Bonus) Converting UOP to MUL

  ### Brief History of UOP Format

  In UO Client v7.0.24.2, a new fileformat was introduced - UOP, that would eventually replace some of the files using the old MUL format. Amongst the files converted were the various map*.mul files, which became map*LegacyMUL.uop files. At the time, and before the different UO emulators (including UOX3) added support to load this new fileformat, prospective shard admins had to convert those .uop files back to .mul files before they could be used.

  Thankfully, creative souls came up with several tools that could be used to convert UO data files between these two file formats, for instance UOFiddler and LegacyMULConverter-N.

  #### Conversion not Needed for UOX3 v0.99.3 and Above

  Do take note, that starting with UOX3 v0.99.3, these .uop files can be read by UOX3 directly without a need to convert them to back to the original format first. No need to convert! Should you for whatever reason still want to convert the map files back to .mul files, for instance to use them with an older version of UOX3, or to load them in a map-editing tool that doesn't support the newer format, here follows a quick guide on how you can do just that, using UOFiddler:

  ### Step 1 - Backup UOP Files

  Before doing anything else, locate your UO folder and copy all the .UOP files from that folder and into a new folder of your choice, so you don't mess with the original files in the UO client - just in case something goes horribly wrong.

  ### Step 2 - Download UOFiddler

  Second, download the latest version of UOFiddler from the link above, unzip it, and start UOFiddler.

  ### Step 3 - Setup Data Paths in UOFiddler

  Second, click Settings > Path Settings and make sure that the path to your UO folder is correct in the window that pops up. If you need to correct the path, use the Set path manual button and locate your UO folder.

  Next, hit Settings > Reload Files to have UOFiddler reload the data files from the path you selected.

  ### Step 4 - Convert UOP Files to MUL

  Once this is done, either use the small arrow buttons in the top right corner of UOFiddler to navigate to the far right tab called UOP Packer, or expand the size of the window until you see and can click that tab.

  Select the folder you copied the .UOP files into previously, using the file picker or by typing the path into the text-field, then select Extract UOP to MUL and hit Start.

  After around 15-30 seconds, UOFiddler should have finished converting the UOP files in your temporary folder to MUL files!

  Note that this process also works in reverse! If you have made any changes to the .mul files and want to convert them back to .uop to have them be read by the client, just follow the same procedure except choose Pack MUL to UOP in the last step instead!

- Compiling UOX3 Source

  Follow the steps below for your preferred platform if you wish to download and compile the UOX3 source directly from GitHub yourself.

  ### Windows Users

  #### Step 1 - Clone the UOX3 Git Repository

  Using GitHub Desktop
  1. Download and install GitHub Desktop. If you already have another tool for git installed, you can use that instead.
  2. Run GitHub Desktop (or your preferred git tool) and click File->Clone Repository from the menu.
  3. Click the URL tab, enter https://github.com/UOX3DevTeam/UOX3.git, then provide a local path for where you want the UOX3 git repository cloned on your drive.
  4. Hit the Clone button to clone the stable branch of the UOX3 git repository to the specified local path, along with the latest verified compatible version of SpiderMonkey (v1.7.0).
  Checking out Other Branches

  If you'd rather grab another branch of the git repository, like the develop branch where most updates get pushed first before being merged into the master branch, you can click the Current branch dropdown menu in GitHub Desktop and select the branch you wish to check out.

  #### Step 2 - Compile UOX3

  Option A - Visual Studio 2017/2019

  This option will let you use Visual Studio solution/project files to compile both UOX3 and SpiderMonkey with Visual Studio's default VC++ compiler. Note that you can download the Free Community Edition of Visual Studio if you don't have it already. This approach also embeds SpiderMonkey directly inside UOX3 for a slightly larger (~1-2MB) executable, instead of requiring a separate DLL file, and comes with options for compiling either 32-bit or 64-bit (default) versions of UOX3.

  #### SpiderMonkey

  1. Navigate to the UOX3\spidermonkey folder and open SpiderMonkey.sln in Visual Studio.
  2. Make sure you have js32 selected in the Solution Explorer, then select Release and either x64 (64-bit) or Win32 (32-bit) in the Solution Configuration/Platform dropdown menus
  3. Click Build > Build js32 from the menu.
  4. Visual Studio will compile SpiderMonkey and create spidermonkey\Release\x64 (64-bit) or spidermonkey\Release\x86 (32-bit) folders with the compiled js32.lib library file contained within. No further actions are necessary here, so you can close the SpiderMonkey VS Solution.

  #### UOX3

  1. Open UOX3_Official.sln from the UOX3\source folder.
  2. Make sure you have UOX3_Official selected in the Solution Explorer, then select either Release or Debug, and either x64 (64-bit) or Win32 (32-bit) in the Solution Configuration/Platform dropdown menus, or via Build -> Configuration Manager.
  3. Select Build -> Build UOX3_Official to start compiling UOX3. When done, you'll find UOX3.exe in either UOX3\source\Release\x64 (or \x86) or UOX3\source\Debug\x64 (or \x86), depending on your choices in the previous step.
  Adding Missing SpiderMonkey References

  If VS give you link errors when attempting to build UOX3, references to SpiderMonkey might have gone missing! Try the following steps to add them back.

  1. Right click on UOX3_Official in the Solution Explorer, and select Properties.
  2. With the desired configuration (ex: Release, x64) selected at the top of the panel, add references to SpiderMonkey in these sections:
  - VC++ Directories > Include Directories (add path to SpiderMonkey root folder)
  - VC++ Directories > Library Directories (add path to SpiderMonkey release\x64 or \x86 folder depending on desired configuration)
  - VC++ Directories > Source Directories (add path to SpiderMonkey root folder)
  - Linker > Additional Library Dependencies (add path to SpiderMonkey release\x64 or \x86 folder depending on desired configuration)
  3. Press apply!
  4. Repeat process for both Release and Debug configurations (chosen at top of panel), then retry the UOX3 build process!
  Option B - Visual Studio 2017/2019 and CMake

  This option requires installing the Visual Studio toolset named Linux development with C++ and the component called Visual C++ tools for CMake and Linux. Use the Visual Studio Installer to modify your install of Visual Studio if you don't already have these installed! This approach compiles SpiderMonkey to a separate DLL (js32.dll) file that needs to live inside the same folder as the main UOX3 executable, and currently only supports compiling a 32-bit version of UOX3.

  1. Start Visual Studio and use File > Open > CMake and select CMakeLists.txt in the root project folder (Example: D:\UOX3). Don't open the similarly named file in the source folder directly.
  2. After Visual Studio is done loading the project and has generated some necessary files, select CMake > Change CMake Settings > UOX3 from the toolbar menu, and select either x86-Debug or x86-Release depending on what kind of build you want to make - or do this using the Solution Configuration select menu.
  3. When Visual Studio is done switching to the new configuration, select CMake > Build All from the toolbar menu to start compiling UOX3.
  4. When done, you'll find UOX3.exe and js32.dll in a subfolder named out of the root project folder, more specifically /UOX3/out/build/x86-Debug or x86-Release, based on the selected configuration.
  5. Note that the js32.dll file must be copied to the same folder as UOX3.exe.

  Once this process is done, you can copy your new UOX3.exe (and if using CMake, js32.dll) file from the appropriate output folders (depending on which method and configuration you used) to the root folder of your actual UOX3 project. You'll also need to copy the files and folders contained within the data subfolder of the UOX3 repository, if you don't already have these.

  It is recommended to run your UOX3 shard from a separate, dedicated folder instead of the data folder in your local UOX3 git repository, to avoid potential git conflicts and accidental overwrites when pulling updates to UOX3 from GitHub in the future.

  Once you have all the files in place, you can follow the regular steps listed under Installation and Setup > Configuring Your UOX3 Shard to finish your UOX3 setup!

  ### Linux/macOS Users

  #### Step 1 - Clone the UOX3 Git Repository

  Using git and Terminal

  First step, open a new terminal and enter the following commands:

  1. (Linux) sudo apt install git - This will install git if not already installed (Ubuntu/Debian-based Linux variants). If you're using a non-Debian flavour of Linux, use the default package manager that comes with it to install git instead.
  2. (macOS) xcode-select --install - This will install git if not already installed, along with required make and gcc tools
  3. git clone https://github.com/UOX3DevTeam/UOX3.git - This will clone the stable branch of the UOX3 git repository into a subdirectory of the current directory you're in, named UOX3. The latest verified compatible version of SpiderMonkey (v1.7.0) is also included.

  If you'd rather grab another branch of the git repository, like the develop branch where most updates get pushed first before being merged into the master branch, you can use the following command *after* completing the previous step: git checkout develop

  (macOS alternative) Using GitHub Desktop
  1. Download and install the macOS version of GitHub Desktop.
  2. Run GitHub Desktop and click File->Clone Repository from the menu.
  3. Click the URL tab, enter https://github.com/UOX3DevTeam/UOX3.git, then provide a local path for where you want the UOX3 git repository cloned on your drive.
  4. Hit the Clone button!

  #### Step 2 - Compile UOX3

  GNU Make and GCC

  You'll need a couple tools before you can compile UOX3 on Linux, like GNU Make (4.2.1 or higher recommended) and gcc. Install these through your favourite package manager or through your flavour of Linux' variant of the following terminal command (specific to Debian/Ubuntu Linux flavours):

  - (Linux only) sudo apt install build-essential

  Once these tools are in place, navigate to the UOX3 project directory in your terminal and execute the following commands from the project's root directory, in order:

  1. chmod +x automake.sh - Makes the automake.sh bash script executable.
  2. ./automake.sh - First compiles the SpiderMonkey JS library bundled with UOX3, then compiles the actual UOX3 build, before copying the compiled binary to the root UOX3 project directory.
  Manual Instructions

  If you don't wish to rely on the automake.sh script, but want control over the process yourself, follow these steps (same as what automake.sh does):

  - cd spidermonkey
  - make -f Makefile.ref DEFINES=-DHAVE_VA_LIST_AS_ARRAY CC=gcc
  - Linux
  - ar -r libjs32.a Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/*.o
  - cp Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/jsautocfg.h ./
  - macOS
  - ar rcs libjs32.a Darwin_DBG.OBJ/*.o
  - cp Darwin_DBG.OBJ/jsautocfg.h ./
  - cd ../source
  - make

  Once this process is done, you will find the compiled uox3 binary in the root UOX3 directory. You can copy this binary to the directory you intend to run your UOX3 shard from, along with all the files and folders contained in the UOX3/data/ subdirectory.

  It is recommended to run your UOX3 shard from a separate, dedicated directory instead of the data directory in your local UOX3 git repository, to avoid potential git conflicts and accidental overwrites when pulling updates to UOX3 from GitHub in the future.

  Copying Required Files to Dedicated UOX3 Directory

  This is an example of how to copy all required files to a directory called UOX3 in your user account's home directory

  1. navigate to root UOX3 project directory
  2. mkdir ~/UOX3
  3. cp uox3 ~/UOX3
  4. cp -r data/* ~/UOX3
  5. cd ~/UOX3

  Once you have all the files in place, you can follow the regular steps listed under Installation and Setup > Configuring Your UOX3 Shard to finish your UOX3 setup.

- Contributing to UOX3

  So, you want to contribute to UOX3, and have your name written into the history books - well, at least into the UOX3 Hall of Fame - for all eternity? Then read on, because you've come to the right place!

  It doesn't matter if you're not the world's best programmer, or if you are not well versed in scripting - contributions to UOX3 can come in many forms, and all are equally well received and appreciated.

  Examples of areas where contributions can be made, any of which can make a difference:

  - Code (Fix bugs, improve cross-platform support, improve on core systems, )
  - JavaScript (Create new functionality for items, NPC AI, spells, commands, etc.)
  - DFNs (Adding definitions for missing items, NPCs, regions, houses, boats, etc.)
  - Documentation (Report broken links, correct inaccurate information, do write ups of how undocumented features work, create tutorials, etc.)
  - Forum Support (Help other users resolve problems, participate in discussions around potential improvements, make feature requests, report bugs, etc.)
  - Discord Chat (Help the "live" community stay active, welcome new users who drop by, help resolve issues of other users, participate in discussions around interesting topics relating to UOX3/UO, etc.)

  Any contributions that involve making changes to UOX3 can either be posted in the Submissions - Fixes & Improvements section of the UOX3.org forums, or can be submitted as a Pull Request on UOX3's GitHub page, for those familiar with that workflow. Do note that any such contributions will be reviewed for quality and fit with the project before being accepted and merged into the core UOX3 project.

  If it so happens, that your code or script contribution is not approved for inclusion in the core UOX3 project, you can still post it as custom additions/tweaks in other parts of the UOX3.org forums, for other users to download! Alternatively, if your changes are extensive enough, you can do what many others have done before you and branch off the main UOX3 project to create something entirely new and exciting!

- Frequently Asked Questions

  Why? Where? Who? When? What?

  What is the purpose of UOX3?

  While one of UOX3's goals is to emulate the functionality and features of the official Ultima Online servers and allow anyone to run a server of their own, another is to allow its users to tweak all aspects those features, and even to create new ones altogether - either through UOX3's JavaScript scripting engine (based on a SpiderMonkey-implementation of JavaScript) or by modifying the source-code for UOX3 directly.

  How much does UOX3 cost?

  Nothing. Anyone who wants can download and use UOX3 for free!

  What license is UOX3's source code released under?

  UOX3 is licensed under v2 of the GNU General Public License (GPL), with the following addendum:

  "In addition to that license, if you are running this program or modified versions of it on a public system you HAVE TO make the complete source of the version used by you available or provide people with a location to download it."

  Full GNU General Public License Text
  What happened to UOX1 and UOX2?

  UOX was the first incarnation of the UO Server emulator, and was created by a fellow nicknamed Jaegermeister. It was short-lived, however, and Cironian aka Marcus Rating rewrote it and released it as UOX2.

  Later on he rewrote UOX2 completely and released UOX3 - which he eventually also open-sourced - which is still the same version we're using now, though quite a lot has changed since then, and a lot of people have contributed to what we're using right now.

  Is UOX3 Legal?

  Disclaimer: This should not be considered as legal advice - it was not written by and is not the opinion or the advice of a lawyer

  Running an UOX3 shard, developing the UOX3 code, distributing the UOX3 program - all that is perfectly legal. There are some more complicated issues however, when it comes to client-files distribution (custom maps, specific versions of client.exe, etc). I suggest you read up on the following document, written by Knox: legality.txt (Note that this should not be considered as legal advice!)

  Why am I getting connection-errors when trying to log in?

  There can be a number of different reasons for why you are unable to connect to a UOX3 shard. Here are some of the most common ones:

  You're trying to connect to UOX3 using an encrypted UO client
  Make sure you remove/patch away the UO client encryption through the use of Razor or a similar programs before trying to connect to a UOX3 shard. UOX3 will only accept clients with no encryption.

  You set the IP and/or Port incorrectly in UOX.INI
  Having the wrong IP or Port in UOX.INI will give you a connection-error when you try to select the UOX3 shard in your client's server-list. The initial connection that checks for user-name/password might still go through, but not the server-selection part.

  You set the IP and/or Port incorrectly in Razor/other tool used to start the client
  If you set the wrong IP to connect to in Razor/other tool you use to start the client, you will not be able to connect to the UOX3 shard at all, it will just give a connection-error immediately. If you set the correct IP but the wrong Port, you will be able to connect and verify your user-name/password, but will not be able to connect to the chosen server in the client's server-list.

  The UO client computer's firewall is blocking outgoing connections
  The computer you're running the UO client on might be blocking outgoing connections, either through firewalls (like the built-in Windows firewall) or through 3rd-party security/antivirus-software. Try to disable whichever software might be blocking the outgoing connection temporarily to see if the connection is then allowed to go through, and/or include the UO client-executable and/or outgoing IP/Port in the exclusion-rules for these softwares.

  The UOX3 shard computer's firewall is blocking incoming connections
  The computer that's running the UOX3 software might be blocking incoming connections, either through software firewalls (like the built-in Windows firewall) or through 3rd-party security/antivirus-software. Try to disable whichever software might be blocking the incoming connection temporarily to see if the connection is then allowed to go through, and/or include the UOX3 software and/or incoming IP/Port in the exclusion-rules for these softwares.

  The UOX3 shard computer's router is not setup to forward incoming connections properly
  If you're trying to connect to the UOX3 shard from an external computer through the Internet, you might have to setup the UOX3 shard computer's Internet-router (if one is present) to forward incoming connections on the specified UOX3 port (2593 by default), to the internal LAN/local-IP of the UOX3 shard computer.

  What era of UO is UOX3 based on?

  Various parts of UOX3 such as combat calculations, weapon/armor values etc are roughly based around UO from the time just before (archive.org) the Age of Shadows expansion (Publish 17) was released. NPC stats less so, due to the lack of accurate data on such stats from back then.

  Note that the combat calculations are hardcoded, but can be overridden through the JavaScript system (or changed in code, of course). The stats of gear and NPCs can be easily tweaked with any text editor, and there are UOX.INI settings that can globally increase/decrease combat difficulty and/or speed.

  Why aren't NPCs fighting back?

  If NPCs aren't fighting back when you attack them, chances are that you are playing on either a GM character, or a character on the admin-account (which all have GM privileges by default). One of the privileges of being a GM (or an admin-character) is that you are flagged as "invulnerable" by default. Since NPCs (and players) can't attack invulnerable characters, this means they will never fight back when you try to attack them. In fact, UOX3 might not allow you to attack them at all.

  Try turning off your invulnerability by using either of these commands:

  'invul false
  'set vulnerable 1

  How do I setup Port Forwarding on my router?

  If the server you intend to run your UOX3 shard on is behind a NAT router, then you might have to forward any incoming connections on port 2593 (or whichever other port you decided to use for UOX3) to the internal LAN-IP given to your server by the router. This is called Port Forwarding (Wikipedia), and whether or not it is required depends on the router and how it is setup. The easiest way to find out is to have someone try to connect to your UOX3 server over the Internet. If they are unable to connect, and you've ruled out all other options (mis-configuration of UOX3/UO Client, firewalls running on host/client computers, etc), then you might have to setup port-forwarding on your router.

  How do I do Port Forwarding?

  The exact procedure varies from router to router, but in general it involves connecting to the router's IP through your browser/Windows Explorer/Linux equivalent, entering the user-name and password required to log on to the router (these can either be default to the router-brand, or custom depending on your Internet-provider), and then adding the UOX3 port to whatever port-forwarding configuration exists for your router.

  Various sites on the World Wide Web include step-by-step instructions for how to setup port-forwarding on different types of routers. One such site is PortForward.com. If the default username/password specific to your router (usually mentioned on these sites) is not working, you might have to consult the documentation that came along with the router, or contact your ISP to get them to provide the username and password.

  How can I check if I set it up correctly?

  To quickly check if you setup your port-forwarding correctly, you can visit CanYouSeeMe.org (Open Port Check Tool) and just enter the port you're trying to forward. Click the 'check' button, and the tool should tell you whether or not it can see a service running on your server through said port.

  The other option is of course to have someone actually try to connect to your shard! :)

- # Feature Documentation

- Advanced Trade System

  The Advanced Trade System was originally created by Magius(CHE), and can be used to set up a system with fluctuating prices for goods (items bought and sold by NPC vendors) across different regions of the game world. Every time the vendors restock their goods, the prices will be adjusted positively or negatively depending on a random range set for each type of good.

  By default, UOX3 comes with categories for goods already assigned to a multitude of items, ready to be used in the trade system, but you'll need to setup the regions portion of the system yourself. See list of Default Goods Categories below.

  Default Goods Categories

  You can add your own custom categories of goods by just adding good=# tags to items with values not already in use below. You can also create your own categories from scratch by removing all existing good tags from the item DFNs, for instance if you want to go with something less complex (or more complex!).

  #### Item Setup

  Each item to be affected by the fluctuating prices in the trade system need to have a value and a category of goods assigned to them in the item DFNs. This is done by adding the following tags to the items in question, if they're not already present:

  value=buyPrice sellPrice - base price of item when buying or selling from/to NPC vendors. Required for trade system to be able to make any adjustments to value of item!
  good=goodCategory - the category of goods to associated a given item with (see list above)

  #### Region Setup

  Once those tags have been added in the Item DFNs, the next step is to setup the various "regions" in regions.dfn. This is done by adding the following tags to the regions that should impact the trade system:

  good=goodCategory - a category of goods (see list above) that the region should have an impact on the prices for. A region can affect multiple goods, and each such tag should be immediately followed by the following two tags:
  buyable=# / # # - Fixed or random % modifier (accepts negative numbers) by which the baseValue of items belonging to the associated category of goods will be modified when bought from NPC vendors in the region.
  sellable=# / # # - Fixed or random modifier value (accepts negative numbers) by which the baseValue of items belonging to the associated category of goods will be modified when sold to NPC vendors in the region.
  randomvalue=# Random modifier value (accepts negative numbers) by which the baseValue of items belonging to the associated category of goods will be modified when vendors restock the item.

  Trade System Example

  A feathered hat ([0x171A] in headwear.dfn) is setup with value=27 13 and good=20 (the goods category for headwear). Normally, this item is sold by NPC vendors for 27 gold, and they'll buy the same item from players at a price of 13 gold.

  A region - for instance Britain - is setup with good=20, buyable=100 (+10.0%) and sellable=-100 (-10.0%) and finally randomvalue=-50 50.

  Meanwhile, another region - for instance Trinsic - is setup with good=20, buyable=-100 (-10.0%) and sellable=1500 (+150.0%) and finally randomvalue=-50 50 (-5.0% to 5.0%).

  A player goes to a tailor NPC in Britain, buys a feathered hat for a price of 27 * 1.1 (+10.0%) = 30 gold, then heads off to Trinsic, where they sell the feathered hat to another tailor NPC for the price of 13 * 2.5 (+150.0%) = 33 gold. Profit! The player then makes the mistake of buying another feathered hat in Trinsic for the price of 27 * 0.9 (-10.0%) = 24 gold, heads back to Britain and sells it to the vendor there for 13 * 0.9 (-10.0%) = 12 gold! Ouch.

  A little while later, the vendors restock their goods, and randomvalue=-50 50 kicks in and adjusts the overall price of feathered hats by +5% in Britain and -3% in Trinsic. Feathered hats can now be bought and sold in Britain for 28 gold and 14 gold respectively, while they go for 26 gold and 13 gold respectively in Trinsic. The selling price in Trinsic remains the same, because an adjustment of -3% is not enough to overcome the powers of rounding (12.61 gold = 13).

- Advancement Gates

  Advancement Gates is a concept in UOX3 that allows you to set up automated shortcuts for giving players a boost to stats, skills and items in-game without GM intervention. They can for instance be used to create custom class templates beyond what is offered during character creation in the client, can be used for events where you'd like to give players some special items, and can even be combined with another concept such as Monster Gates and the Race System to allow players to take on the roles of monsters on your shard.

  Note: Although they're called advancement "gates", they can actually be any object the player is able to walk onto/collide with!

  ### advance.dfn

  The basis for the advancement gates lies in DFNDATA/ADVANCE/advance.dfn. Below is an example of an entry from that file, with explanations for what each line does (click to expand):

  Advancement Gate in advance.dfn

  // Master Smith Label for easy identification of advancement gates
  [ADVANCEMENT 1] Unique identifier
  {
  STR=95 Sets Strength to 95
  DEX=80 Sets Dexterity to 80
  INT=60 Sets Intelligence to 60
  BLACKSMITHING=940 Sets Blacksmithing skill to 94.0
  MINING=940 Sets Mining skill to 94.0
  TINKERING=940 Sets Tinkering skill to 94.0
  EQUIPITEM=0x13e3 Adds an equips a smith's hammer
  PACKITEM=0x0fbc Adds tongs in backpack
  PACKITEM=0x1bf2,30 Adds 30 iron ingots in backpack
  PACKITEM=0x0e85 Adds a pick-axe in backpack
  PACKITEM=0x1ebc Adds Tinker's Tools in backpack
  }

  An additional tag that is supported, but not used in the above example, is the SKIN=0x#### tag, which allows you to modify the skincolor of a character to the specified hue.

  Once a player steps into a gate with the above advancement setup, they'll have their stats and skills set as defined, and will get any items listed added to their inventory.

  ### Setting Up an Advancement Gate

  To actually set up an advancement gate in-game, there are two paths you can take. You can either add them by hand, in-game, using GM commands, or you can set up predefined items in the item DFNs that can be quickly added anywhere at any time with a single GM command. Let's look at each option.

  Manual Setup

  1) Add a gate item (or another item players can walk over) where you want your advancement gate to be.

  For a blue moongate, try 'add 0x0f6c
  For a red moongate, use 'add 0x0dda

  You can also dye these a different color using the 'dye command.

  2a) If you want players to only able to make use of the advancement gate a single time, use 'set type 80 and targeting the gate to set it up as a "single use" advancement gate.

  2b) Alternatively, use 'set type 81 to make it a "multiple use" advancement gate that can be used over and over again.

  3) Use 'set morex # to point the advancement gate to a unique identifier already setup in advance.dfn (see above). For example, 'set morex 1 would assign the [ADVANCEMENT 1] gate setup from advance.dfn to the item, and players stepping onto the gate will become a Master Smith, based on the example from above.

  4) To make sure your gate item doesn't vanish into thin air, use the 'nodecay command on it to stop it from decaying.

  5) To make sure your players can't pick it up and run away with it, use the 'set movable 3 command on it.

  6) Finally, use the 'tweak command on the gate to give it an identifying name so players can tell what it is if they click on it.

  Predefined Item Setup

  If you want to create re-usable definitions (templates, if you will) for advancement gates that let you quickly add them in multiple areas without having to set up each one from scratch, you can add items like this to a custom .dfn file inside the DFNDATA/ITEMS/ folder:

  [adv_gate_mastersmith] Name of custom item
  {
  get=base_item Inherit basic item properties from base item so we don't have to re-add them here
  name=Master Smith Advancement Gate Name that shows when players click on the gate
  id=0x0f6c ID of the item to be used as a gate; a blue moongate in this example
  type=80 Sets item to "single use advancement gate" itemType (use 81 for multi-use gates)
  morex=1 Assigns the advancement ID from advance.dfn
  decay=0 Makes item not decay
  movable=3 Makes item immovable
  }

  For each advancement gate setup you have in advance.dfn, set up one such item definition. Once done, either restart UOX3 or reload DFNs using the UOX3 console menu (press * to deactivate safe mode, followed by 7 to reload DFNs or ? to see menu).

  The next time you log into your shard, you can use the following GM command to add your custom advancement gate item anywhere you want:

  'add item adv_gate_mastersmith (replace name with name you give your custom gate item)

- Dictionaries

  UOX3 comes with a custom dictionary system that allows shard admins to set up and translate their own system and script messages to any language supported by the UO client. This system has some pros and cons over the usual "cliloc" (client localization, also supported!) system UO uses, in that it allows shard admins to send completely customized messages to the client (even if not setting up for multiple languages), at the cost of using more bandwith than the built-in cliloc system in the client.

  The dictionaries are set up in the UOX3/dictionaries/ folder, with each language contained in its own dictionary file with a file-ending matching a group of language codes used in the UO client. ENG, for instance, covers all English language codes, and FRE does the same for French ones. The exceptions are the files with a .ZRO and .UNK extensions. These are used as default files when no/an unknown language is returned from the client.

  #### Language Groups supported in UOX3's Dictionary System:

  UNK (Unknown - Used when unknown language code is returned from client)
  ZRO (Default - Used )
  ENG (English - ENU, ENG, ENA, ENC, ENZ, ENI, ENS, ENJ, ENB, ENL, ENT, ENW, ENP)
  GER (German - DEU, DES, DEA, DEL, DEC)
  SPA (Spanish - ESP, ESM, ESN, ESG, ESC, ESA, ESD, ESV, ESO, ESR, ESS, ESF, ESL, ESY, ESZ, ESB, ESE, ESH, ESI, ESU)
  FRE (French - FRA, FRB, FRC, FRS, FRL, FRM)
  JAP (Japanese - JPN)

  #### Language Codes supported by UO client via cliloc system (depending on client version):

  ENG (English)
  DEU (German)
  ESP (Spanish)
  FRA (French)
  CHT (Chinese)
  CHS (Non-Traditional Chinese)
  JPN (Japanese)
  KOR (Korean)

  In older client versions, it is possible to change the client language by changing a setting - UserLanguageCodeString - in the uo.cfg file. Example: UserLanguageCodeString=DEU. In modern client versions, this seems to instead be dictated automatically by the regional settings in Windows, meaning the above uo.cfg setting might not work.

  Alternatively, it's also possible to set a specific language for a player's socket either through a script (for instance via a custom menu that could allow players to choose which language to use) or via the GM command 'set language #. See below for a full list of language IDs that can be set in this manner:

- Mining and Ore System

  By default, UOX3 is setup with a very simple, yet customizable mining system, with some options in uox.ini to determine certain basic things.

  Mining Settings in uox.ini

  [resources]
  {
  MINECHECK=1 // Determines where players can mine for ore (0 = Anywhere, 1 = Mountains and cave floors)
  OREPERAREA=10 // Maximum number of ores to spawn in a given resource area
  ORERESPAWNTIMER=600 // Amount of time it takes for 1 ore to respawn/regenerate in a resource area
  ORERESPAWNAREA=10 // Number of resource areas to split the world into
  LOGSPERAREA=3
  LOGSRESPAWNTIMER=600
  LOGSRESPAWNAREA=10
  }

  ### Customizable Ore Types

  The different types of ore a player can mine are defined at the bottom of skills.dfn, in a section called [ORE_LIST]. Shard admins can easily add or remove ore types to/from this list.

  Ore List in skills.dfn

  [ORE_LIST]
  {
  Iron
  DullCopper
  ShadowIron
  Copper
  Bronze
  Gold
  Agapite
  Verite
  Valorite
  }

  Each ore type is then defined and fleshed out in more detail in a section of their own, just below the [ORE_LIST] section, in the same file. If adding new ore types to the list, remember to also add a definition for each one!

  Ore Definitions in skills.dfn

  [Iron] // Section ID of ore type, matching the name given in ORE_LIST
  {
  COLOUR=0x0 // Color of the ore
  MAKEMENU=1 // Crafting menu to open when smelting this ore type?
  MINSKILL=0 // 0 skillpoints in mining required to mine this ore type
  NAME=iron // Name of the ore, shown to player when they find some while mining
  ORECHANCE=500 // Default chance (50.0%) of finding ore type while mining, if no OREPREF tags are present in region.
  }
  [DullCopper] // A second ore type, with a different section ID
  {
  COLOUR=0x0973
  MAKEMENU=200
  MINSKILL=650 // 65.0 skillpoints in mining required to mine this ore type
  NAME=dull copper
  ORECHANCE=112 // 11.2% chance of finding ore type while mining, if no OREPREF tags are present in region
  }

  Note that the sum total of all ORECHANCE values for all ore types (including ones not listed in this example) does not have to add up to 1000, but doing that makes it easier to conceptualize the chance to mine each ore type: 500 becomes 50.0%, 112 becomes 11.2%, etc. Compare to a setup where the values all add up to 750 instead: 500 becomes (500/750)*100 = ~66.67%, 112 becomes (112/750)*100 = ~14.9%. Not so straight forward to calculate in the head!

  ### Region-based Ore Preferences

  By default, the MINECHECK=1 setting in uox.ini allows players to mine any ore from any mountain anywhere, as long as they meet the minimum skill requirement for mining a given type of ore. This means, however, that skilled miners can mine the most valuable ores from any old mountain/cave, even if it's just outside the safe zone of a major city.

  However, the OREPREF tag supported by the Region system gives shard admins some extra control over where players can find the various ore types.

  For instance, the types of ore a player will find in a given region (UOX3/dfndata/regions/regions.dfn) can be regulated by attaching to those regions one or more OREPREF=[oreType,oreChanceWeight] tags - one per ore type to be found in the region, where oreType is one of the ores listed in [ORE_LIST] section, and oreChanceWeight is a weighted value from 0 to ~1000 indicating the chance to find that ore type in the region relative to other available ore types.

  Example Setup in regions.dfn

  This is an example of a custom region setup in UOX3/dfndata/regions/regions.dfn with ore preferences that control what type of ore a player can find in the region, and what the likelihood of finding each ore is:

  [REGION 12]
  {
  NAME=the town of Minoc
  MUSICLIST=6
  GUARDED=1
  GUARDLIST=guard
  GUARDOWNER=The Town
  MAGICDAMAGE=1
  MARK=1
  GATE=1
  RECALL=1
  ESCORTS=1
  X1=2395
  Y1=430
  X2=2555
  Y2=573
  ...
  X1=2485
  Y1=650
  X2=2575
  Y2=695
  OREPREF=DullCopper,500
  OREPREF=Verite,300
  OREPREF=Valorite,150
  OREPREF=Iron,50
  }

  The four OREPREF tags in this example have values of 500, 300, 150 and 50, that by happy coincidence sums up to a total of 1000 (not a requirement, but makes calculating chance for each ore easier in one's brain). If we divide each of those values by the sum total and multiply the result by 100, we get the percentage chance for mining each of the ore types, given that the player has high enough skill. Example:

  Sum Total:
  - 1000 = ((1000 / 1000)*100) = 100%
  Ore chances:
  - 500 = ((500 / 1000)*100) = 50% of finding dull copper ore
  - 300 = ((300 / 1000)*100) = 30% of finding verite ore
  - 150 = ((150 / 1000)*100) = 15% of finding valorite ore
  - 50 = ((50 / 1000)*100) = 5% of finding iron ore

  Note that for this example, players would only be able to find dull copper, verite, valorite and iron ores in this region, as there are no OREPREF tags present for any other ore types.

  It is recommended to include an OREPREF for an ore type (like iron) that can be mined by anyone regardless of skill, so players who go to a region with OREPREFs setup can still mine something useful!

  Note that if no OREPREF tags are present in a region, UOX3 will use the default chance defined for each ore type in skills.dfn to determine what type of ore the player will find when mining there. If no default chance is specified for the ore types, all ore types will have equal chance of being mined in a given region.

- Monster and Race Gates

  ### Monster Gates

  Monster gates are objects (doesn't have to be a gate) of type 82 that will transform players into monsters when they step onto the same tile as the object. More specifically, it will transform the player into whichever NPC is defined on the monster gate object via its DESC property. Simply point the DESC property towards a specific NPC Section ID from the NPC DFNs!

  For instance, 'set desc orc would transform any player who steps through the monster gate into an orc - with the same skills, stats and other properties of regular orcs.

  ### Race Gates

  Race gates are objects (doesn't have to be a gate) of type 83 that can change the race of a character that step onto the same tile as the object. Which race to set is determined by the race gate's MOREX value, which can be set in DFN using the MOREX=raceID tag, or via the following GM command: 'set morex raceID. Additionally, use 'set morez 1 to make the gate reusable, or 0 to make it one-time-use only (per player).

  For a list of races and raceIDs, check UOX3/dfndata/race/races.dfn.

- NPC AI

  NPCs can be assigned an AI type that will make them behave or react to events around them in particular ways. Some of these AI types are combat-oriented (guards, monsters), and some are more service-oriented (bankers, healers, playervendors).

  NPC AI types can be assigned at spawn-time through the npcai=# tag in NPC DFNs, or at run-time via the 'set npcai # GM command or the aitype JS character property.

  Example: The Orc NPC contains the tag npcai=2 in its definition in DFNDATA/NPC/humanoids.dfn. This assigns it the "evil" AI that most monsters use, which makes it attack innocent characters (including players) on sight.

  ### Available NPC AI types

  0 - AI_NONE
  Default - no AI.

  1 - AI_HEALER_G
  Will resurrect dead (non-criminal) players who come within range.

  2 - AI_EVIL
  Will attack all good monsters/animals and players.

  4 - AI_GUARD
  Will attack all evil monsters, and players that commit crimes within town limits.

  5 - AI_FIGHTER
  Same as a guard, minus the teleporting and yelling of "Halt!"

  6 - AI_ANIMAL
  Predatory animal AI that grow hungry over time and has a chance to attack other creatures (and humans) when hungry.

  7 - AI_DUMMY
  Passive AI that doesn't fight back or react to being attacked.

  8 - AI_BANKER
  Bankers give players access to their bank boxes when saying the word "bank" nearby. Tip: This can also be used on players to ALWAYS give them access to their bankbox ;)

  17 - AI_PLAYERVENDOR
  Used by playervendors placed by players at their houses to sell items to other players.

  32 - AI_PET_GUARD
  Guarding AI used by pets when responding to the "guard" pet command.

  88 - AI_CHAOTIC
  This AI does not discriminate, and attacks anything from innocents to monsters (Blade Spirit/Energy Vortexes use this AI).

  666 - AI_HEALER_E
  Evil version of the regular Healer AI, except it resurrects murderers and criminals instead of innocents.

- NPC Escort Quests

  NPC Escort Quests allow players to earn a bit of extra gold by escorting NPCs from one location to another (gold paid upon safe arrival in target region). More details on this system coming soon!

- NPC Movement and Pathfinding

  ### WanderModes Overview

  The movement of NPCs in UOX3 is largely controlled by a property of NPCs called wanderMode. This property can be controlled to some degree through NPC setup in the DFNs (more on that below), but it's also dynamically altered at run-time based on the state of the NPC and what they're supposed to be doing.

  For instance, a player's pet who is given the pet command "follow me", will have its wanderMode altered to follow (wanderMode 1), and will follow that player until another command is used or another event takes place that cause its wanderMode to be altered.

  An Orc that sees and wants to attack a player also goes into the follow wanderMode, and will attempt to follow the player until they get into range and can perform their attack. However, should the player deal enough damage to the Orc, it might instead enter the flee wanderMode (wanderMode 6) and try to escape with its life.

  Another wanderMode - pathfind (wanderMode 7) - is a temporary wanderMode set by UOX3 that functions similarly to the follow mode, but instead of continuing to follow someone indefinitely, it stops and reverts back to its original wanderMode (whatever that might be) when it reaches the intended target (or if it fails to pathfind there).

  Basic vs Advanced (A*) Pathfinding

  By default, the advanced pathfinding setting is enabled for NPCs in UOX3. This mode of pathfinding utilizes the popular A* algorithm to find the shortest paths NPCs need to take in order to reach their intended location. This setting can be enabled or disabled via the ADVANCEDPATHFINDING flag in UOX.INI, though it is recommended to leave this setting enabled unless experiencing performance drops due to too many/too heavy pathfinding calculations.

  ### Controlling NPC WanderMode through DFNs

  Some of these wanderModes are used almost exclusively by UOX3's internal code (like the pathfind and follow modes), while others can be set as default modes for NPCs in the DFNs via the npcwander DFN tag. Let's look at the most common options for that tag:

  npcwander=0 (None)
  The most basic of wanderModes. Essentially, the NPC has no default mode of movement and will stand still on the spot after spawning until something causes its wanderMode to be altered (like being attacked). Once such an event stand, they once again become motionless.

  npcwander=2 (Free)
  The popular wanderMode for free-spirited NPCs who like to roam wherever the wind takes them. NPCs with this wanderMode will move around randomly, with no restrictions on direction or distance. There's no saying where they'll end up!

  npcwander=3 (Box)
  NPCs with this wanderMode are unable to 'think outside the box'. The box is their entire life; if there's a world beyond the box, the NPC either doesn't know about it - or doesn't care! However, if provoked, they might leave their box for a limited time, before returning should the situation calm down. This wanderMode requires some additional setup (see below).

  Additional Setup for Box WanderMode

  Usage of the "box" wanderMode (3) requires the following additional tags setup in the DFN, in order to define a bounding box that restricts the NPC's movement:

  fx1=-1 / fixedXCoordinate
  Set to -1 to use the NPC's spawn location combined with a "radius" (fx2 if specified, otherwise defaults to 10) to determine the farthest number of tiles NPC is allowed to move in directions east and west from spawn point. Can also be given a positive value to set a fixed X1 coordinate for the bounding box.

  fy1=-1 / fixedYCoordinate
  Set to -1 to use the NPC's spawn location combined with a "radius" (fx2 if specified, otherwise defaults to 10) to determine the farthest number of tiles NPC is allowed to move in direction north and south from spawn point. Can also be given a positive value to set a fixed Y1 coordinate for the bounding box.

  fx2=radius / fixedXCoordinate
  If fx1 and fy1 are set to -1, any positive value given for fx2 will act as a "radius" determining how far in each direction from the spawn point (east, west, north, south) NPC is allowed to move. If fx1 and fy1 have positive values (fixed coordinates), fx2 will be used to set a fixed X2 coordinate for the bounding box.

  fy2=fixedYCoordinate
  Only used when setting up bounding box with fixed coordinates, and is used to set the Y2 coordinate for said bounding box.

  npcwander=4 (Circle)
  Unlike their 'square' peers in wandermode 3, NPCs setup with wanderMode 4 have a more rounded taste, and embrace a lifestyle entirely without corners. They're all about circles! However, if provoked, they might leave their precious circle for a limited time, before returning should the situation calm down. This wanderMode requires some additional setup (see below).

  Additional Setup for Circle WanderMode

  Usage of the "circle" wanderMode (4) requires the following additional tags setup in the DFN, in order to define a bounding circle that restricts the NPC's movement:

  fx1=#
  Determines the X coordinate for the center of the bounding circle that restricts the NPC's wandering. If set to -1, will instead get the X coordinate from the NPC's spawn point.

  fy1=#
  Determines the Y coordinate for the center of the bounding circle that restricts the NPC's wandering. If set to -1, will instead get the Y coordinate from the NPC's spawn point.

  fz1=#
  Determines the Z (height) coordinate for the center of the bounding circle that restricts the NPC's wandering. NPC's bounding circle is considered valid if NPC is within a Z of 5 from this defined value.

  fx2=#
  Radius (in tiles) of the bounding circle that restricts the NPC's wandering.

  npcwander=5 (Frozen)
  NPCs in wanderMode 5 are cool as cucumbers, so cool, in fact, that they remain frozen in place on the same spot, unable to move. Come hell or high water, they will remain steadfast and stick to their spot no matter what.

  ### Altering WanderMode through JavaScript

  In addition to DFNs and code, an NPC's wanderMode can also be adjusted in JavaScripts used with UOX3's JS Engine, either via JS Methods for characters like Wander( x1, y1, x2 (radius), y2 ) and Wander ( x1, y1, radius ), or the wandertype JS property for characters. See the UOX3 JS Docs for more details on syntax and some examples!

- Race System

  More details on UOX3 race system coming here soon! Check out UOX3/dfndata/race/races.dfn for examples.

- Regions

  More details on UOX3 region system coming here soon! Until then, check out UOX3/dfndata/regions/regions.dfn for examples.

- Skill and Stat Gain

  The gain of skills and stats in UOX3 is governed by a system setup in UOX3/dfndata/skills/skills.dfn, where each skill has a setup similar to this:

  // Alchemy
  [SKILL 0]
  {
  NAME=ALCHEMY
  STR=0
  DEX=50
  INT=50
  SKILLPOINT=0,75,50
  SKILLPOINT=100,60,30
  SKILLPOINT=200,45,25
  SKILLPOINT=300,40,20
  SKILLPOINT=400,35,15
  SKILLPOINT=500,30,5
  SKILLPOINT=600,25,5
  SKILLPOINT=700,20,0
  SKILLPOINT=800,15,0
  SKILLPOINT=900,10,0
  SKILLPOINT=990,5,0
  SKILLPOINT=1000,0,0
  MADEWORD=mixed
  }

  SKILLPOINT Entries work in this way:

  - The first value is the skill level at which this entry takes effect.
  - The second value is the chance to gain skill on success.
  - The third value is the chance to gain skill on failure.
  - The fourth (optional) value is the amount to gain on success.

  Each additional SKILLPOINT entry sets a ceiling for the previous one. Thus entries should be created for every step you wish there to be, to gradually slow down skill gain. By default these steps are: 0-100, 100-200, 200-300, 300-400, 400-500, 500-600, 600-700, 700-800, 800-900, 900-990, 990-1000. Note that all skill values are *10, thus 100 instead of 10.0

- Spawn Objects

  UOX3's Spawn Object system lets shard admins setup item or NPC spawns in-game using GM commands, or setup predefined spawn objects in the DFNs that GMs can then add anywhere they want something to spawn.

  Unlike objects spawned via Spawn Regions, ones spawned from Spawn Objects have a persistent state and will be saved during world saves and will be loaded again if server restarts.

  More details coming soon!

- Spawn Regions

  #### Spawn Regions

  UOX3's regional spawning system allows the spawning of thousands of NPCs and items without affecting world saving or loading times negatively, as anything spawned through this system is not saved, and will not persist through a server restart, but will respawn on every server startup. This is useful for generic monster spawns, NPC shopkeepers and townsfolk, random item spawns like magic reagents, etc.

  The spawning system is setup through UOX3/dfndata/spawn/spawn.dfn, and an example of a setup for this can be seen below, or by examining the Community-made spawn.dfn file.

  Example Setup for a Spawn Region

  The following spawn region was taken from the above-mentioned Community-made spawn.dfn file, and is responsible for spawning orcs in the Yew Orc Fort:

  [REGIONSPAWN 283]
  {
  NAME=Yew Orc fort // Internal name for spawn region
  NPC=orc // npcSectionID to spawn from NPC DFNs
  MAXNPCS=10 // Max amount of NPCs spawn region is allowed to spawn
  X1=626 // Top left corner of coordinate set
  Y1=1481 // Top left corner of coordinate set
  X2=638 // Bottom right corner of coordinate set
  Y2=1487 // Bottom right corner of coordinate set
  WORLD=0 // Worldnumber to apply spawn region in
  MINTIME=5 // Min time between respawns
  MAXTIME=15 // Max time between respawns
  CALL=5 // Max amount of orcs to spawn during each respawn
  }

  For a full list of DFN tags supported in Spawn Regions, take a look at DFN Tag Overview > SpawnRegion DFN Tags!

  #### Predefined Spawns

  In addition to dedicated spawn regions, this system also supports setting up generic, predefined spawns that can be applied directly in regions in UOX3/dfndata/regions/regions.dfn. The benefit of such predefined spawns is that they can be re-used in different regions, and can piggy-back on the regions that already exist instead of having to create new dedicated spawn regions with coordinates etc.

  Example Setup for a Predefined Spawn

  The following section is added either at the bottom of an existing DFN file in UOX3/dfndata/spawn/ (below spawnregion entries), or in its own, separate file in the same folder:

  [PREDEFINED_SPAWN orcInvasion]
  {
  NAME=Orc Spawn
  NPCLIST=allorc
  MAXNPCS=50
  MINTIME=0
  MAXTIME=1
  CALL=10
  }

  This is then applied to specific sets of coordinates (X1, Y1 -> X2, Y2) within a region in UOX3/dfndata/regions/regions.dfn by adding a SPAWN=orcInvasion tag below the coordinate sets in question:

  [REGION 4]
  {
  NAME=Britain's farmlands
  MUSICLIST=21
  GUARDED=1
  GUARDLIST=guard
  GUARDOWNER=The Town
  MAGICDAMAGE=0
  MARK=1
  GATE=1
  RECALL=1
  X1=1085
  Y1=1530
  X2=1200
  Y2=1695
  SPAWN=orcs
  X1=1200
  Y1=1555
  X2=1295
  Y2=1695
  SPAWN=orcs
  X1=1295
  Y1=1695
  X2=1330
  Y2=1850
  SPAWN=orcs
  X1=1100
  Y1=1695
  X2=1295
  Y2=1915
  SPAWN=orcs
  }

  Note that in this case, the guards have also been disabled via the GUARDED=0 line, to prevent the orcs spawning in the Britain farmlands from getting instant-killed by the town guards!

- Spellcasting NPCs

  The spattack= setting in npc.dfn's matches the circle you want an NPC to be able to cast up to (IE a setting of 8 means he can cast any spell from Circle 1 all the way to circle 8 ). Notably, NPC's can currently only cast certain spells, and theese will be chosen at random when the NPC is able to cast spells during its combat cycle.

  Following is a list of spells an NPC can cast:

  - Circle 1: Clumsy, Feeble Mind, Heal (Self), Magic Arrow, Reactive Armor (self ), Cure (Self if poisoned), Weaken
  - Circle 2: Harm
  - Circle 3: Fireball, Poison
  - Circle 4: Curse, Greater Healing (Self), Lightning, Mana Drain
  - Circle 5: Blade Spirits, Magic Reflection (Self), Mind Blast, Paralyze
  - Circle 6: Dispel (if fighting a summoned creature), Energy Bolt, Explosion, Mass Curse
  - Circle 7: Chain Lightning, FlameStrike, Mana Vampire, Meteor Swarm
  - Circle 8: Earthquake, Energy Vortex
- Teleport Locations

  Fixed teleport locations can be setup via UOX3/js/teleport.scp using the following format:

      		From 			To 		Optional
      		X,Y,Z(or ALL), 	X,Y,Z  	[,World,World]

  Example:

      		[TELEPORT ENTRIES]
      		{
      		ENTRY=3,        128,    All,    257,    784,    64,     3,4 //  [Yomotsu_Mines_Exit]
      		ENTRY=3,        1267,   All,    666,    928,    -80,    2,2 //  [Ankh_Dunegon_Exit]
      		}

  Notes:

  - Entries without world-coordinates will work in _all_ worlds!!!1one.Entries marked with have been verified as working
  - Entries marked with ???? need to be verified by someone who knows the location
  - Entries with _mg_ in the description are moongate locations. Comment out if you plan to use actual moongates
- Townstones

  UOX3 comes with a system for townstones that allows players to setup their own player-run governments in different regions of the world.

  The basics of the system is as follows:

  - Player gets hold of a Townstone Deed, and uses it while in a given region of the world to found a new Town.
  - Using the Townstone Deed will place a Townstone on the ground, which the player can interact with to see details of the newly established Town

  List of features in Townstones System:

  - Townstones are based on regions
  - Multiple Townstones may be placed in one region, but they all give info about the same region.
  - Townstones are of two types (automatically determined) based on the information in regions.scp file.
  - Players may become a resident of a town, wilderness, or none at all.
  - Residents of a town may freely leave residency to none.
  - If a player is a resident of another town then the one he/she wants to join, then they will automatically leave the prior town upon their joining the new town.
  - Residents of a town (other then wilderness type) may vote for mayor.
  - Residents of a town may vote however often they wish, but votes are not tallied until the 'election day'.
  - Residents of a town may opt to display the town they are from on their paperdoll. If they choose to display their town title, their reputation title will not be shown (may be changed at a future date).
  - The elected Mayor is forced to display their town title on their paperdoll. It is in the format of "Mayor of , "
  - The elected Mayor has "Mayor" prefixed to their displayname from allnames.
  - If a mayor leaves residency of the town for either none, or another, then a new mayor is automatically detected based on number of votes at that time.
  - Townstones display the current mayor on them.
  - Townstones display the total population for that town.
  - Wilderness regions display 'unruled region' for mayor.
  - Wilderness regions display 'unknown' for population.
  - To cast a vote for Mayor, the person whom the player wants to vote for must be online, and preferably onscreen. (Target based).
  - If voting is 'mis-targeted' then the previous vote is unchanged.
  - Residents may not vote for players who are not a resident of their same town.
  - The player whom a person is currently voting for is displayed on the townstone.

  More details being added soon!

- Weather System

  UOX3 comes with an extensive weather system that ties in with regions and player races.

  More details being added soon!

- # Scripting - DFN System

- Introduction to DFN System in UOX3

  DFNs - or "definition files" are essentially "templates" or "blueprints" that define the properties of various objects and systems in UOX3, which can be customized by shard admins with any text editor and be reloaded by UOX3 on the fly (only applies to select types of DFNs).

  List of DFN types available in UOX3, and what they are used for:

  advance

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\advance\advance.dfn
  Used to setup advancement gates/objects that can quickly boost players skills and stats to desired level. See separate feature documentation for more info.

  carve

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\carve\carve.dfn
  Used to setup lists of items that players will gain when carving particular creatures with bladed items.

  colors

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\colors\colors.dfn
  Contains random colorlists that can be used with color tags in various other DFNs to provide random colors for items and NPCs.

  command

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\command\commands.dfn
  Contains setup of roles like Administrator, GM, Counselor and Player, as well as the privileges and access to commands that each role will have.

  create

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\create\*.dfn
  Contains crafting menus with resource costs for crafting each individual item.

  creatures

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\creatures\creatures.dfn
  Used to setup things like sound effects, movement types and more for each creature type in the game.

  harditems

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\harditems\harditems.dfn
  Used to override properties of "hard/raw" (non-scripted) items added to the world. Normally they get all their properties directly from tiledata.mul, but this file allows overriding the properties for such items, to ensure they all get the proper weight they should have, etc.

  house

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\house\house.dfn
  Contains the setup for multis/houses/boats in UOX3, and what items (like doors, or signs) are added along with these when players place them in the world using deeds.

  html

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\html\default_templates.dfn / *.htf
  Used to setup HTML templates for server status, information pages, etc. that can be automatically written by the server on worldsaves. Useful to show status of server on shard homepage, for instance.

  items

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\items\*.dfn
  Contains all item definitions in the game - the scripted versions of "hard" items, these get all their properties set in these definition files instead of from tiledata.mul. Also contains the contents of the menu shown when using the 'add command, lootlists for NPCs, shoplists for NPC shopkeepers, and more.

  location

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\location\location.dfn
  Contains definitions of locations in the world - points of interest that GMs can travel directly to using the 'goplace # command, where # aligns with location IDs in this file.

  maps

  Location: UOX3\dfndata\maps\maps.dfn / tiles.dfn

- DFN Tag Overview

  Here you'll find an overview of all DFN tags that can be used in UOX3, depending on context (characters, items, regions, etc.). The DFNs can be safely modified and dynamically reloaded while UOX3 is running, as the only other time UOX3 reads from these files (and never writes) is on server startup. After making a change, simply use the 'reloaddefs command in-game, or console command '7' after unlocking the UOX3 console by pressing '*'.

- DFN Priority System

  Say you, as a shard admin, want to customize some of the DFNs that come with UOX3, but you worry about those changes being overwritten when time comes to update the default UOX3 package with a newer version, or about going through conflict/merge hell trying to weave all your custom changes into a newer version of the scripts.

  Enter, the DFN Priority System, the purpose of which is to allow DFNs to be loaded in a specific order, allowing shard admins to potentially override the default script packages by ensuring their custom DFNs get loaded last, aka get priority treatment.

  ### How to Use the DFN Priority System

  In the root folder of the type of DFNs you wish to override, create a new file using your favourite text-editor, and name it "priority.nfo". For instance, if you wish to override parts of carve.dfn with the contents of a custom file named customcarve.dfn, place the priority.nfo file in the DFNDATA\CARVE\ folder, right alongside the carve.dfn and customcarve.dfn files.

  The contents of customcarve.dfn would in this case be a copy & paste of one of the entries from carve.dfn, but with some minor changes applied - carving an alligator gives 24 meat instead of 12:

  // alligator [CARVE 1]
  {
  ADDITEM=0x09f1
  ADDITEM=0xc002,24
  }

  Next, inside the priority.nfo file, copy paste the following default setup:

  [priority]
  {
  DEFAULTPRIORITY=0
  customcarve.dfn=1
  }

  The DEFAULTPRIORITY line determines the base priority level of all DFN files, which is normally left at zero. In this example, this would assign a default priority of 0 to carve.dfn, while next line would assign a priority of 1 to customcarve.dfn - ensuring that the contents of customcarve.dfn get priority over the default DFN file and is loaded last. Now, if there are any entries in these DFN files that conflict with each other, the copy in customcarve.dfn would take presedence, since it's loaded last!

  You can use this method to override any DFN file inside the DFNDATA folder.

- # Scripting - JavaScript Engine

- Introduction to JS Engine in UOX3

  UOX3's scripting engine is based on an embedded C++ implementation of JavaScript called SpiderMonkey (v1.7.0). It allows UOX3 to load, read and interpret JavaScript files containing JS events, methods, functions, objects and properties written specifically for UOX3 in order to expose the inner workings of the server to prospective shard admins and script writers.

  UOX3's JavaScripts can be reloaded dynamically without restarting the server, making it very easy to iterate on new features or modify existing ones.

  Example of a simple JavaScript in UOX3, used with the Dice and Cup object to allow players to roll a dice and have the number displayed for others to see:

      function onUseChecked( pUser, iUsed )
      {
      	// Generate two random numbers from 1-6
      	var iDice1 = RandomNumber( 1, 6 );
      	var iDice2 = RandomNumber( 1, 6 );

      	// Fetch the name of the player using the object
      	var pName = pUser.name;

      	// Display the result either as an emote above player (if object is in a container) or a message above item (if on ground)
      	if( iUsed.container != null )
      		pUser.EmoteMessage( pName+" rolls the dice and gets a "+iDice1+" and a "+iDice2+"." );
      	else
      		iUsed.TextMessage( pName+" rolls the dice and gets a "+iDice1+" and a "+iDice2+"." );
      	return false;
      }

- JS Engine Documentation

  The UOX3 JS documentation documents all the various events, triggers, methods, functions and properties available to script writers.

  UOX3 comes with SpiderMonkey v1.7.0, which offers an equivalent JavaScript feature set to JavaScript 1.7 or ECMAScript 5, though certain features (such as let, or browser-specific features) might not be fully supported.

  For additional help with or discussion around any of these, don't hesitate to make use of the UOX3.org forums or the UOX3 Discord chat!

- JSE File, Object and Type-associations

  In the UOX3/js/ folder, you can find three files that are used to map UOX3 JavaScript files to script IDs, and map item IDs or item Types to script IDs.

  jse_fileassociations.scp
  Through this file you can assign script IDs to JavaScripts for use either with objects, commands, spells, skills, network packets or the console. You'll need to assign your script a scriptID in here before you can assign it to an object or use it in either of the other two files mentioned below. Syntax: [scriptID]=[filepath and name]

  Script Sections in jse_fileassociations.scp

  SCRIPT_LIST
  General mapping of scripts to scriptIDs. Can be assigned to objects in-game, via DFNs, or via other scripts.

  COMMAND_SCRIPTS
  Mapping of scriptIDs to scripts containing command events and functions. Scripts are executed when using associated commands in-game.

  MAGIC_SCRIPTS
  Mapping of scriptIDs to scripts containing spell events and functions. Scripts are executed when casting associated spells in-game.

  SKILLUSE_SCRIPTS
  Mapping of scriptIDs to scripts containing skill events and functions. Scripts are executed when using associated skills in-game.

  PACKET_SCRIPTS
  Mapping of scriptIDs to scripts containing networking packet events and functions. Scripts are executed when associated network packets are received.

  CONSOLE_SCRIPTS
  Mapping of scriptIDs to scripts containing console events and functions. Scripts are executed when associated console actions/commands are used.

  jse_objectassociations.scp
  Items whose IDs have been mapped to scripts via this file will execute the OnUse() JS event in the associated script when the items are used (double-clicked) in-game. Syntax: [itemID]=[scriptID]

  jse_typeassociations.scp
  Instead of relying on item IDs or directly assigning scripts to items, you can also use this file to map the scripts to specific item types, which when used in-game will execute the onUse() JS event for the associated script. Syntax: [itemType]=[scriptID]

- History of UOX3

  ### UOX3 History Crash Course

  UOX was originally created by Denny Zuko aka Jaegermeister in 1997 for the pre-alpha version of Ultima Online, and was subsequently abandoned, rewritten from scratch by Marcus Rating aka Cironian and released in closed-source form as UOX2 the same year.

  UOX3 is, as the number in the name implies, the third iteration of UOX, and when released by Cironian in 1998 it become the first open-source UO server emulator. While he is no longer involved with the project, hundreds of other people have since contributed to updating and maintaining UOX3, and those efforts are still ongoing, with UOX3.org now acting as a central hub for ongoing development and support.

  In 2001, UOX3 went through a monumental shift as it transitioned from a basic trigger-based scripting system used in the 0.68.x to 0.70.x versions, to a more advanced scripting engine based on Mozilla's SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine, spearheaded by Matthew Randall (EviLDeD, lead developer at the time) and Daniel Stratton (Abaddon). This was also accompanied by a jump in version numbers, up to 0.95.

  Due to the open-source nature of UOX3, there have been numerous spin-off projects over the years - like Wolfpack, Lonewolf or NOX-wizard - all with their own rich history. Most of these have gone dormant, but the "main UOX3 branch" has been around for nearly 22 years (as of 2020), and is here for the long run.

- History of UO Emulation

  ### How it Got Started

  Emulation of the Ultima Online servers started all the way back in the days of the Alpha version of UO, when Denny Zuko (Jaegermeister) created the initial version of UOX (now lost to time). Since then, a great number of different emulators have come into existence, and although some of them were like fireflies that faded away after only a brief existence, others stuck around longer, spawned derivatives, forks and alternate versions along the way.

  For a more extensive and detailed overview, check out the General UO Emulator Timeline over at UOX3.org!

- Credits / UOX3 Hall of Fame

  The UOX3 Hall of Fame is simply a list of people (or their nicknames) known to have contributed to UOX3, in what capacity they (primarily) contributed, sorted in chronological order based on the estimated time of their first contribution.

  This list was written and is updated with the help of various UOX3 documents such as changelogs, news updates, code comments and some educated guesses, and errors might occur. If you spot a mistake, or a missing name, let us know and we'll do our best to correct the issue.
