How to "Hack" UO Music
If you're tired with the music in UO, or (in my case) tired of having nothing to listen to because you turned the music off, then I think I can help you!
First things first. We need to find the place where UO keeps its music. The default path is:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Ultima Online\Music\Digital
If this isn't where you put it, use the Search program to find where the Ultima Online folder is, then proceed from there.
OK, so we've found the music, but how do we change it? This is quite simple. Go to the place where your music is stored via new window and find the music files you'd like to hear in-game. Let's say we want to change the music from the town of Moonglow into your music.
Step 1: Copy and paste the music files you want to hear into the Digital folder.
Step 2: Find the Moonglow music file. Mine is "Moonglowpos"
Step 3: Append a (1) to the Moonglow music file. Moonglowpos becomes Moonglowpos(1)
Step 4: Rename your music file to Moonglowpos. Now, every time you step into Moonglow, you will hear your music instead of the Moonglow town anthem.
Notes:
-Some places or actions have multiple music files attached to them. If you only replace one file, your music will only have a random chance of being played until the other music files have been replaced as well. For instance, when you go into War mode, UO has about 3 or 4 different songs (which I will post if asked) that all need to be changed.
-I'm pretty sure that music you want to use has to be in MP3 format
-You can replace music files with as many different combinations of music as you want. For example, If I wanted 3-4 different songs for War mode instead of just the Blood Rave from the first Blade movie, I could put in some Elton John or some other music in addition to the Blood Rave. Then I might hear Blood Rave or Elton John while I'm hitting things.
-Not all places or actions are their namesake. You will have to do some listening and comparing for some places to know which music file theirs is.
Thanks very much for reading this. I hope being able to listen to your own music will make your gaming experience better. Have a very nice day!
