Exult Forum

Is there any documentation available regarding installing this project?

PanSola, you can use Exult Studio to remake Ultimas (with enough talent/skill/patience/etc.!), so that's a little more of a grey area.

Just wish someone would do one of these things without being tied to something like DS or NWN...

Mmm... played them first time round on 386SXs the school had. My, those were the days! The games were slow (SI was a bitch to get running), but ah...

Soul... could it be that weird Novell e-book format that was around briefly during the mid-90s?

Got a grudge against him, have we?

http://www.rpg-dev.net/top50/ - could be fun to get Exult in on this list, methinks!

Vivendi it seems are being more aggressive then EA viz. related projects - FreeCraft being a very recent example (Vivendi sending the developers a cease-and-desist). It seems we should (for the moment at least) be glad that EA does not seem to be following Vivendi's litigous example.

On a somewhat related vein, Will Wright discussed about doing a all-new, original game. Not at franchise-obssessed EA he won't! I give him 18 months tops before he quits/is sacked.

Personally, I'd rather see remakes made with the Morrowind engine.

Morrowind needs more Ultima-related MODs too, methinks! Playing around with the Britannia TC that someone did a while back, may well try to use that.

I think it's time this thread was frozen.

An Ultima VI editor? Neat! Hope this helps the Nuvie project out too.

Why not just say "Why not remake Savage Empire, but using the SNES version's graphics"?

Well, for me 1.1 is pretty stable. It's worth a shot, I'd say.

No I haven't heard anything, but if this is so then I'd be interested! I loved World of Xeen.

1.19f was an unofficial patch by one of the Ultima IX team. I doubt there's a 1.20 patch.

Is this anything to do with the image on the Exult frontpage not loading now?

Hmmm... I'd be interested in a speech file decoder for U9 too. Was any work ever made on one?

Is there a Bouncy Dragon? Because I appear to have received an e-mail from him with an attachment (nothing else - I can't read anything, and the attachment doesn't appear to be supported/visible under Evolution, my (Linux) e-mail client). If you're reading this, Bouncy, better run an anti-virus pack...

Pity that BritanniaMOD for Morrowind appears to have been abandoned, looked promising. Even unfinished, though, it could still be put to good use. Hmmm...

Their legality is, at best, highly questionable.

For SI, try EBay or similar.

Hmmm... could it be playing the fleeing music? I think I've had something similar to what you've described happen to me before (at least up to the 0.9.x series).

Elder Scrolls Arena or Daggerfall, maybe?

Thanks. That worked well.

...I want to try replacing some of the OGG files the 1.1 snapshot uses with others. Now... 1 - Do the replacement OGGs have to be the same bitrate as the originals? 2 - Do they have to be the same length? I ask because I replaced the Stones music with the version from Ultima IX, and that worked. Rep...

The current method of playing music isn't really terribly suited for custom games. This is a proposal for an alternative system of mapping music tracks. Under the 'music' directory: {gamename}/ - Music used by a given game (e.g., 'blackgate' for BG's music). {gamename}.map - How to map music for a g...

Mmmm... I wonder if he even has a copy of U7, let along a legit one. Doubtful!

Which version are you using? With 1.0 (under Linux, not tried Win32 yet) I've had no problems with credits/quotes.

As far as I know (which isn't much!), the guy'll be using the Henchmen add-on for NWN, so that may address the party issue. As for the second issue... well, it seems he's just trying to recreate the introduction in a different way.

Give 'em time, and maybe try the unstable branch (I'm thinking of doing so, want to play with Exult Studio).
