If there are incompatibilities with savegames, it will say so in the release notes.

Brian, I wouldn't call this a showstopper bug. The team has worked hard to make sure other more important things which affected the plot were fixed in this release. I'm pretty certain that if there is a solution to sound pitch problem, Colourless will implement it. Remember that everything is done i...

There is a SDL_ttf package which we could use which has all sorts of neat functions for showing TrueType text, including UTF-8 support.
I believe there is an avatar.ttf font lying around: we could have two methods for displaying text: shape-based (as it is now) and ttf-based (with custom fonts).

I'll see what I can do about making those MIDIs available, maybe as an "ExultStudio Starter Kit"

The music you hear at the Exult menu is a MIDI that was composed by Matt Kimmich for the now-defunct "Age of the Dragons" project and used with his permission. The title of the track is "Medieval Town". BTW I have the complete set of the MIDIs from "Age of the Dragons",...

That's not Exult's problem, check your XFree86 configs for the low resolutions you're using

Won't even start with what error message ? I run Exult all the time on my Debian system (self-compiled) and it works like a charm.

It's Colourless not Colorless

And I would also like to add that the keyboard bindings are completeley customizable. See the documentation

Prince Thrakath, son of the Emperor of Kilrah. The early Wing Commanders were great

I really recommend using the GIMP and our GIMP plugin, as it is more featureful (hotspot, layers->frames)

It seems you haven't done what we ask in the forum guidelines

Before posting here we would like you to make sure of some things:

1. Please read the Documentation and the FAQ and make sure you've searched the message board for previous discussions.

I noticed that too. It seems that the palette fade is interrupted too soon

You download them from the download page. Install is identical to the 1.0 release

Story ?
Sound ?
It's just a demo of a female Avatar shape from Ultima 8 walking in all possible directions againsta a black background...
Nice job, gruck, btw

I find it very strange that these people set up such a task without announcing it first on this forum or on the Exult mailing lists or in the IRC channel. For the type of effort involved they would require extensive usecoding, and although our tools are quite good, I don't know if they are mature en...

It says so here:

Can you play a MIDI file by double clicking it in Windows Explorer ?
Is the MIDI mixer level turned up ?

The cfg looks fine to me.

DOS Easy ? Yes, like creating boot disks with enough free lower mem to run Ultima VII. That was easy. Also, the music packs work only with Exult 1.1.x, because that is the version with the OGG support. With Exult 1.0 your only option is to use your platform's MIDI support. Make sure you can play MID...

>I'd like a Pocket PC Port very much! >I dont thin it is too difficult to port? PocketWindows, 32 MB, 200 MHz.....? As has been said by Dominus, nobody on the Exult Team has a Pocket PC , and that seriously hinders development. Anyone with a PocketPC, the skill and the inclination can use Exult's so...

I don't think there ever was one...

Requirements:

A computer
A screen
Some disk space

Things like these are better posted to the developer mailing list.

Maybe because the party NPCs, instead of pathfinding to follow the avatar, use a different method.

in the game, press ESC, select video options and set the scaling to x1

Sound packs are for sound effects, music in 1.0.x is done via your soundcard's midi (under windows), so check your windows midi mapper and mixer settings.

You can't turn off pathfinding as it's a fundamental part of how U7 works. I guess that you're having problems with companions standing in your way ?

It's called kerning. U7 fonts are just shapes, which can have x and y offsets, so I guess you're set.

If you've managed to run U7 on a 12Mhz 286, you are indeed very capable

U7 *REQUIRES* a 386 to run.

I use joe, vi and jedit

fliptw is right. Linux is not Unix, because only OSs derived from AT&T's source code have the right to be called that. If you want a *real* Unix, you can get Solaris 9 for x86 from Sun. If you want Linux, there are many distros, depending on what you want (and depending on the package management...

OpenGL is buggy and not supported in any way
Animations: nobody has bothered implementing those yet

we need to know the contents of your exult.cfg file

You need to read the phorum codes file, which is referenced in the top thread of this forum.

I've fixed your links

GCC crashes randomly ?
You may want to go here

Do you have the dev packages for SDL installed ?

The best thing is to add low res mdoes to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Search the web for modelines for 320x200, 320x240, 400x300, 512x384, etc.

Why not run configure with the --disable-tools switch ?

Exult 1.1 already has a SDL_OPENGL port

Because with slow video cards you should change palette only during vertical refresh. If you use INT10 it does it for you, but if you write directly into the VGA registers it flickers.

I have a passing interest in astronomy

Expack creates .u7o files because it doesn't know their types. Rename them to .shp and use the GIMP or Photoshop/PSP with the appropriate plugins.

DrCode, I think that Colourless has done some fixes on the OpenGL code, so it's not as bad as you describe.

Then you need to get to the individual frames within that shape. The GIMP plugin allows you to do that by putting each frame in a separate layer.

What, 10 minutes without getting a reply, and you are already expecting a reply ?
Anyway, it's in fonts.vga. You can extract it using the Exult Tools

I believe Exult is quite a portfolio....

But none44 is running 1.0 and OpenGL scaling is only in 1.1

Oh dear, not again.....

You need to run autogen.sh which will generate configure for you

I think the most complex parts of WC 1 and 2 would be the 3D engine (which uses only bitmaps) and the AI (which doesn't have to be identical to the original).

I think that the religion that Garriott wanted to attack is Scientology
