Ultima 6 Online (U6O) Release & Download |
| SYSTEM/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS U6O does not have any special system requirements, most computers will have these by default. Windows 95 or higher DirectX 7.0 or higher |
| SETUP REMINDER If you are updating your current version of U6O by downloading a new client remove the old version first. Remember to keep your username and password which if forgotten can be found in userinfo.txt 1. Download either U6O.ZIP or U6O.RAR (links at bottom of page) 2. Extract the compressed folders 3. Run U6O.EXE Sometimes after running U6O people notice either no text or incorrect fonts. After restarting your computer this problem usually fixes itself. If not try copying the fonts in the dr folder into your windows font folder in the control panel. |
| HOW TO PLAY (last revised on 18th January, 2006) Please read this carefully, it explains all the controls you'll need to play U6O. There is also a non-compulsory walkthru to help new players in-game. Display "Windows" There are three types of display "windows" 1. PARTY-STATUS window (displays sun, moons, wind direction, all party member's faces, hp, mp, and spellbook button. You can click on a party member's face to hise/show thier inventory window which is show by default) 2. INVENTORY window (one for each party member, displays ALL stats, equipped items, and inventory items) 3. SPELLBOOK window (if a spellbook is equipped, this window appears, it can be hidden/displayed using the spellbook button in the party-status window) ALL windows may be DRAGGED (moved to a different location) using the RIGHT MOSE BUTTON. Moving Items To PICK UP an item, click on it (you must be standing next to it!), the item now appears on your mouse cursor To DROP an item (currently being held on the mouse cursor) click on the place you wish to drop it To ADD ITEM TO INVENTORY, drop it on the grid of 16 circles in your INVENTORY window To WEAR an item, drop it on a circle in your INVENTORY window above the place on the "body" it should be worn (for example, boots need to be put on the circle on the "body"'s feet, your strength determines how much you can equip) Picking up PARTIAL AMOUNTS (of gold/torches/etc.) To SPLIT/PARTIALLY PICK UP an amount of an item: i. HOLD SHIFT while typing the number/quantity you wish to pick up ii. HOLD SHIFT AGAIN (OR WHILE STILL HOLDING SHIFT) and click on the group of items you wish to pick up (for example, There are 100 gold nuggets on the ground! But I can only carry 85, so I hold shift and type the number 85, then (still holding shift, or holding it down again) I click on the pile of nuggets) Using Items DOORS/LEVERS/CHESTS(to open them)/LADDERS/etc., press U then click on it POTIONS/FOOD/FISHING ROD/etc., PICK UP the item (so that it is on your mouse cursor), press U (the item remains on the mouse cursor, but the cursor changes to the "use" cursor), then click on the person/place/item you wish to use it on (for example, food on a party member, fishing rod on ocean, rune on force field, empty bucket on a cow) Looking at Items Press L then click on the item you want to LOOK at. IMPORTANT! Look at items you wish to take, if it says "Taking this is stealing!" you will lose KARMA! Looking INSIDE CHESTS/BAGS/etc. Press L and click on the container.

To continue talking to an NPC you have just begun talking to hold CONTROL and press T, then once you finish typing simply press enter. This allows you to continue a conversation with an NPC without having to click on them each time you type.
