How to Install Mods

NOTE: The ESP, Scanner and WurmHelper mods are banned on the Mythmoor server.

This page gives you two options for installing mods:

  • Option 1: Package Install - Download and install a package of mods all at once.
  • Option 2: Individual Install - Download and install mods individually (requires the Client Mod Launcher; instruction below).

Mythmoor has several server side mods that require Client Mod Launcher so your Wurm client can download the necessary content. If you do not have the Client Mod Launcher installed, you will not be able to see certain objects.

Overview

I've created a zip file with mods that you can download and extract to your WurmLauncher folder. You will need to run patcher.bat after you've extracted the files.

Updated 08-04-23 - Free Cam mod updated to latest version.

Video

NOTE: Before you watch the video, please read the bullet points.

  • It isn't explained in the video, but you can select a range of files three ways in the Windows File Explorer.
    • CTRL-A selects all.
    • SHIFT-left click one file, then SHIFT-left click another file selects a range of files sequentially.
    • CTRL-left click selects individual files non-sequentially.
  • CTRL-C copies.
  • CTRL-V pastes.
  • Drag/drop copies or moves, depending.
  • These shortcuts are somewhat ubiquitous in most operating systems and applications.

Mods Not Included

These mods are not included in the zip file.

  • No Winter - Winter still happens, but the snow textures are not seen. You can still collect snow, you just won't see it. It is a personal choice I didn't want to make for the player, so I left it out.
  • Old Mobs - Mobs are dyed a color according to their condition (sly, alert, etc.). This was the old way of indicating condition and outdated. The new way has color tinting built into the mob textures, which is built into the game.
  • Skill Gain Tracker - Redundant as there is a skill gain tracker built into WU, but it does have additional functionality. Regardless, I chose to not include it in the package.

Step 1: Download

Step 2: Install Mods

  1. Close any running copies of Wurm Unlimited.
  2. Extract the zip file (or copy the files using Windows Explorer) to your WurmLauncher folder.
  3. Run patcher.bat in the WurmLauncher folder to patch the game.
  4. Run the game. It should now have all mods.
  5. Read the How to Use Mods wiki page.

Step 3: Configuration (Optional)

Live Map

If you want to be able to see ores in mines that are beyond the mined areas, you can turn one visibility in the livemap.properties file by setting showHiddenOre=true.

STOP. You're done. What follows is the individual install procedure.


Option 2: Individual Install

Overview

  • How to install Client Mod Launcher to receive server packs for server side mods and install client mods if you want.
  • How to install individual mods (requires Client Mod Launcher be installed; instructions below).

Step 1: Download the Client Mod launcher

Ago's Client Mod Launcher

NOTE: It may be confusing that the author's forum post calls it the Client Mod Loader, but then the GitHub site and file calls it the Client Mod Launcher. Both names refer to the same thing.

Loads the mods into Wurm Unlimited.

This is the tool that enables downloading of server packs (textures, models, data) for server-side mods, and patches the game with client-side mods that you have installed in the WurmLauncher/mods folder. If you just want to download server packs and not client-side mods, you still want to run patcher.bat after installing this tool.

If you just needed the Mod Launcher installed to be able to see server side mod graphics, you can skip to Step 3.

Step 2: Download the Mods

Download only the mods you want.

Live Map

Adds a live map, which is handy for navigation.

Improved Improve

Uses your toolbelt to auto-switch between improve tools, making improving much faster and easier. You will need to make binds for activate, repair and improve. I use these keys: ,=activate .=repair /=improve

Toggle trees, grass and more.

Cave Vision

Sets cave lighting to full brightness. NOTE: This mod only works with the Legacy renderer, which can be selected under Settings, Graphics. Switching from Modern to Legacy renderer disables some of the lighting and reflective effects, so it's a choice you have to make. Fancy graphics or full lit caves.

Better Tooltips

Shows all ground tooltips regardless of active tool, skill level and/or distance.

Tiles always show type and if they are flat, in addition the following will be shown:

  • Trees/bushes - age, sprout presence and harvestability
  • Fields - type, stage, tended status
  • Grass - flower type
  • Animals will show their sex, and for horses also color in the tooltip.
  • Tile borders will always show slope
  • Tile corners show their absolute height (above sea level)

FixVBO

Only works with the Modern renderer setting (Settings, Graphics). Fixes a bug that causes main altar light pillars and certain mobs to be invisible. The Legacy renderer doesn't have this issue, but lacks advanced graphics you can only get with Modern renderer.

Disable Tree Collisions

Disables bumping into trees, you now walk through them.

Max Toolbelt

Shows a 10 slot toolbelt regardless of its QL and existence. New players on mythmoor get a 100ql toolbelt, so not as useful as it used to be, but nice to have anyway.

Direct Download

Old Mobs

Reverts to an older color view of mobs who have conditions (angry, slow, etc.); the whole mob is dyed the color instead of it being a part of the texture as it is now. Easier for identification. NOTE: This mod is not included in the ZIP file as it is most likely undesirable for most players.

Third Person View

Free Cam Mod

Allows you to disconnect your camera from your character.

NOTE: Free Cam Third Person mods conflict with each other. When Third Person is on, Freecam will not work properly. You must toggle Third Person off first.

Author's Forum Post NOTE: The forum post was never updated by the mod author to link to the latest version, so don't download from the forum post link as it points to 1.0 version. The links below point to version 1.1 on GitHub, the latest version.

Season Configure Mod

Allows you to fix the season in place, or custom configure how long you want the seasons to be. Can only be done in the config file, not through console commands in game.

No Winter

Removes the winter season entirely from the game. Fall textures and settings will be used instead. NOTE: This mod is not included in the ZIP file as it is most likely a personal preference to disable winter.

Note that even though the file name is “WalkerClientMods”, it only contains one mod, the sort mod.

Step 3: Install the Mods

NOTE: Not all mods are zipped up the same. Some contain the mods folder in them, some do not. The ones that contain the mods folder go in the WurmLauncher folder. The ones that do not contain the mods folder go in the WurmLauncher\mods folder.

  1. Find your WU folder: <steam folder>\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmLauncher)
  2. Unzip the contents client_modlauncher-0.15.zip (or current version) into the WurmLauncher folder, overwrite any files there.
  3. If the \WurmLauncher\mods folder doesn't exist, create it.
  4. Unzip the contents of the any/all mods zip files into the WurmLauncher\mods folder.
  5. Run patcher.bat in the WurmLauncher folder to patch the game.
  6. Start Wurm from Steam.

Troubleshooting:

If WU loads, but the mods do not work, ensure the individual mod folders exist under the WurmLauncher\mods folder.

If WU does not load at all, delete the mod folders (under WurmLauncher\mods) one at a time to find the bad mod. Older mods will cause WU not to load. Do not delete connectionfix, custommaps or serverpacks folders as these are a part of the Client Mod Launcher. If you do, you'll have to reinstall Client Mod Launcher.

Worst case scenario uninstall and reinstall Wurm Unlimited in Steam and start over. If you're struggling with the manual install watch the videos on this page.

Step 4: Configuration (Optional)

Live Map

If you want to be able to see ores in mines that are beyond the mined areas, you can turn one visibility in the livemap.properties file by setting showHiddenOre=true.


How to Use Mods

For detailed instructions on the mods on this page, see the How to Use Mods page.


How To Uninstall Mods

  1. Close any running copies of Wurm Unlimited.
  2. Go to the WurmLauncher/mods folder and delete any mod folders you don't want in the game. There are corresponding .properties files you can delete if you want.
  3. Run patcher.bat to patch the game.
  4. Run the game. Deleted mods should be gone.

Linux

NOTE: Steam on Linux will not let you run multiple copies of Wurm Unlimited, so if you want to run alts, you'll have to use Windows.

The process is the same for copying files. You'll have to go into Steam, your Library, right click on Wurm Unlimited, Properties, Local Files, Browse. From there you can extract (or copy) your mods into the WurmLauncher folder.

You will need to set your patcher.sh file as executable from a terminal. Browse to the WurmLauncher folder with your file manager, then open a terminal there.

sudo chmod -x patcher.sh

sh ./patcher.sh

You should see the message that the game has been patched.
