I have figured out the answer to the coordinate system, In decimal it runs from 0 to 3071 in both directions starting from the top left.

Good day all, anyone have any pointers in figuring out the coordinate system? Essentially I would like to figure out how to map(in the coding sense) the ultima7 world to a new engine, so if I was to draw a house in a 3D engine I would like that house to be 1:1(in some sense) to the coordinate system...

appreciate the explanation, is there a discord or IRC channel I could join to ask conversational questions about how best to proceed? Does anyone really know the exult code base well enough these days to make "quick" changes or are you guys waiting for someone to come along and learn the c...

With SDL its rather trivial to use a TTF font(about 4-10 lines), the issue would be having to add yet another layer to the game screen after scaling happens so the fonts don't get scaled(im honestly not familiar with SDL enough to know if this is difficult or hits performance) and since its been a l...

Sorry, Ignore first part of the above post. Guess it was a little late last night when I read the README.win32 thinking it just had Linux instructions and was a place holder as I saw the pacman lines and made assumptions.. you know what they say about assumptions. Second question still stands.. is t...

Before I stumble my way through trying to figure out how to compile exult on windows is there any instructions to follow?

Also is there a design document anyplace that describes what the file structure is? So I don't need to spend hours/days figuring out where to start with experimenting with things?

One last quick thought, how would the engine handle having all the GFX re-sized at 4x replacing the originals then playing without a scaler(1x scale) would it be able to make sense of that?

Sorry for the long post, I would just like to understand decisions and make some headway on getting exult/ultima7 to be more accessible. I appreciate the great efforts that have gone into exult, I don't think most people realize its not simply making the old game engine work with new hardware its an...
