Notes:

1. This patch is intended to be used with the lastest Ultima IX patch 1.19F. It is probable that it will work with version 1.18F, but this hasn't been tested.

2. This patch will work with any savegames you have, so you don't have to start over from the beginning.

3. This patch fixes errors for several music triggers throughout the game resulting in the positive music theme for several cities not playing upon shrine cleansing. Specifically this patch fixes several music triggers in Minoc/Cove, one music trigger in Valoria, and several music triggers in Skara Brae.

4. Area triggers do not "turn off" until you leave that area nor do they continuously set off the trigger, so this means that if you can hear a town's music at the shrine, cleansing that shrine will not cause the music to change with leaving the area/town.  Since most shrines are far from their respective towns (and music area triggers) this isn't an issue, but both Sacrifice and Valor shrines are too close to their towns. This annoying issue, therefore, requires you to leave the town and re-enter to hear the positive music.

5. From addition trigger research and a various attempts, music in Minoc will now transition from negative to postive themes during the shrine cleansing sequence. The same fix, however, doesn't work for Valoria, so you will need to exit the vicinity of Valoria for the music to clear after cleansing the Shrine of Valor.  Luckily, this can quickly accomplished by entering the Demon's lair near the Shrine of Valor.
