Moras SC tool and databases for DAOC Uthgard 2.0

This repository aims at providing download links for Moras v1.74 and items.xml for all three realms in a single place, and make them reliable on the long term (Github offers ways to bookmark or search repositories, and repositories do not expire).

Why?

Multiple links for those files already exist on mediafire, dl.free, tinyupload or similar file sharing websites, but they can easily get lost or expire, and keeping track of versions on those websites can be very difficult since outdated versions may in some cases be better indexed than newer versions. Additionally, the corresponding URLs are not always shared on the same forums and finding the latest links can be tricky. In general, one should not have to look through several forums and carefully compare post dates to finally use the Moras databases.

How to use

1. Download and install Moras-1.74.exe or Moras-1.73-modified_by_Esme.exe (the latter has been adapted to Uthgard and seems to export in English while the 1.74 only exports to German, it should also better support automatic editing quickbars for spellcrafters; I have not tested). The executables should work with Wine if you are not using Windows.
2. Download the database for your realm, items.xml.REALM.
3. Rename items.xml from the Moras installation folder to items.xml.default.
4. Paste the items.xml.REALM file into the Moras installation folder and rename it to items.xml.
5. Profit.

Disclaimer

The databases are the result of long data collections and may, in some cases, be based on databases from DAOC Live. Yet, many items have changed, no longer drop, or have never been available on Uthgard. It is therefore highly recommended to double check if the items you find in the Moras database actually exist on Uthgard (check housing for instance) before finalizing your template.

I am not the author of Moras or the databases, I merely put the files here.
