Re: Exult Build for Windows

You guys have to make this one 1.6.0[rc1].

You just have to. ;)

Re: Anyone had a long, relaxing playthrough recently?

What must be done prior to the merging of the code that Marzo and DrCode worked on?

Re: Anyone had a long, relaxing playthrough recently?

Sounds safe enough for me to give it a go sometime! Thanks for the info. When I finally get around to it, I'll be sure to post how my playthrough went.

Anyone had a long, relaxing playthrough recently?

I waited many years for a resolution to the disappearing item bug as I wanted to play at a relaxed pace while being very thorough. Then at some point, last year IIRC, the bug was reported to be back by at least one user here. Do we have multiple confirmations on the resurgent bug? Is it still more l...

Re: Character walking

Windows 10 here. I'm on the (original) Creators Update build rather than FCU. I won't update until I'm forced to once it hits the business update branch. Enabling fullscreen fast mouse results in diagonal turns AND sometimes 90 degree turns.

Re: Character walking

This is new. It's happening to me as of the latest build. To test, run the streets of Trinsic. You'll go diagonal seemingly at random. Also happens when walking (but who walks?). The cursor doesn't change position to reflect the diagonal turn, so if you move the cursor slightly, you're back on your ...

Could you reboot with selective startup enabled and 'load startup items' unchecked just to rule out something hooking input?

Re: Strange Bugs

I stay on Windows 10 "business" update branch so that I get the "feature updates" (new builds) as late as possible, so while I can't test, I think I know what the mouse problem is. Fall Creators Update, in addition to lots of other legacy-related stuff, broke mouse input for a lo...

I was prepared to bitch about how it had nearest neighbor scaling artifacts throwing off the geometry due to it not being locked to a proper integer ratio... But nope--she nailed it. Masterful.

Re: FYI

Wow, look at the guy's feedback. He is successfully selling copies of VLC for $10-20.

I know what's wrong with this guy (he's a horrible person), but what is wrong with the fools paying him? :/ If they just need portability, they can buy a $5 flashdrive.

Great that it's available conveniently packed on Google Drive now. Might even be linkable as a 'mod' of sorts if you finish those last SI tracks.

Re: A Fan Request

I like this idea. It could only help, but I think it would be easier to implement something more akin to Darklands' style of combat rather than a true turn-based system. Pause, issue orders, unpause to watch it play out with indefinitely repeated actions until new orders are issues. Slowing the spee...

Re: Alternate font for the games

This and the other gothic but simplified font should both be available on the Downloads page. (Looks a lot better without xBR/HQx or whatever that is you're using.) The stock font really hurts accessibility for new players I feel.

Re: Windows 10

"Windows10 is the most backwards compatible gaming OS Microsoft has ever introduced, imo. It's a bit odd, but I found both Vista & Win7 to be not-so-hot in the backwards compatibility picture with old games--Win8./1 was a definite step up from that regard..." That really can't be true....

Re: Windows 10

It's mostly games relying on older versions of DirectX that Microsoft sacrifices at update time. The best recent example is DirectDraw (DX 5-7) games in Windows 8/8.1. In fullscreen mode, flip flags are ignored but the game engine has no way of knowing this. The result is poor framerate, affected ga...

Re: Ultima Online Soundtrack Remake

I'm not sure it's appropriate to say "that's all I'll say about it here" just before you post it five more times at the very same "here".
