Mobile UO

Mobile UO

Q: Does anyone know how to connect Mobile UO on a Mobile Phone?

A: We don't currently support the mobile UO, it does not work well and is hard to control. You might google it and follow the directions.

MobileUO is in a very early phase of development, there are lots of issues to fix and features to implement. Therefore, you should not expect to be able to play UO on your mobile device as you do on your PC...yet!

The Mobile UO application does not distribute UO game files. Therefore, you need to have the game files for the shard on your PC or Mac and set up a simple web server to transfer the files to your mobile device.

Commands that Work

Here's a simple list of things that should work fine right now:

• Walk/Run
• Interact with Gumps (Paperdoll, backpack, etc.)
• Open bank
• Buy/Sell from vendors
• Simple PvE
• Chat
• Create on-screen macro buttons

Host address is play.uoevolution.com
Our port for UOE is 2593

How to Set Up

First, make sure to download the files for your shard to your computer and install/extract them as necessary.

Then, as a simple web server, I would recommend that you download the Free Edition of Mongoose web server at https://www.cesanta.com/binary.html, which is available for both Mac and Windows. The reason I’m recommending this web server is because it’s the one I found to be the easiest to run without any configuration and it’s a single executable file instead of an installation. If you're using a different web server, make sure to set the port to 8080 as that is the port that MobileUO expects the web server to be using.

After downloading the web server executable, copy it to your UO shard directory, next to all the other UO files and run it. Mac OS might prevent you from launching the application by double clicking. In that case, right click the application file and select Open. The dialog that pops up should have a button that says Open, which when clicked will finally convince Mac OS to run the application. Depending on the location of your UO files, Mac OS might pop up another dialog asking you to give permission to the web server application to read a user folder such as Desktop or Downloads. Go ahead and allow it.

At this point, the web server should have automatically opened a tab in your browser showing you the directory listing of the UO folder. In the address bar of the browser, you should see the local IP address* of your PC or Mac on the network. Use this IP address (without the 8080 port at the end) for the File Download Server Address field of the server configuration on your mobile device. Of course, for your mobile device to be able to connect to your PC or Mac with this IP address, both devices need to be on the same network, for example on your home WiFi network. If your PC or Mac is on the network but your mobile device only has cellular connection, it won't be able to connect to your PC or Mac.

And now the configuration is done! Click Save and then click on the newly created button for the configuration to start the download of the UO files. The download might take several minutes and at times it might look like it’s stuck but it’s most likely downloading large files. At the moment, 4 web requests are made in parallel in hopes that it speeds up downloads. Once all the files have been downloaded, MobileUO should take you straight to the UO login screen. At that point, you can enter your credentials and login to your shard as usual.
