    =================================================================




    (**note: this is a work in progress, see end of post for explanation**)

    Tired of clicking scrolls to figure out what they are? Click no more! This HowTo will show you how to replace the scroll icons with my new spell icons.

    FILES NEEDED:

    Mulpatcher (download)
    New scroll icons (download)

    For this tutorial you will need to make a copy of your "art.mul" and "artidx.mul" files from your Ultima Online folder (as usual, always make a backup of these files elsewhere in case anything goes wrong!).

    Go ahead and fire up mulpatcher and go to the "Settings" tab. Find the "Art" section and click the "..." buttons and navigate to the two mul files you copied. After selecting both, hit "load" and wait a moment for mulpatcher to load the files.

    Once finished, head over to the "Features" tab and under the "Autopatch" section, click "..." and navigate to the NewScrolls.txt document inside the NewScrolls download. Then, select "Art (S)" from the dropdown menu and hit start (note: make sure you select "Art (S)" and NOT "Art (M)").

    Once you receive patch confirmation, head back over to the "Settings" tab and under "Art", click "Save". First type "artidx.mul" (no quotes) and hit save, then type "art.mul" (no quotes) and hit save.

    Finally, copy the new mul files back into your Ultima Online folder and load the game. Enjoy!









    ***[WIP] Why is this a work in progress?

    For some reason, the NPC vendor gump doesn't use the correct scrolls on the display list, so when you buy from an NPC vendor it will look a little messed up, as seen below:

    However, the scrolls themselves display the correct image, so if you don't mind the wonky NPC vendor buy gump, this is ready to use!

    FINAL NOTE: these icons are obviously bigger than the default scroll icons so they may block some items on player vendors depending on how stuff is arraigned!
