Where's the best place to see the current change log?

GuJiaXian

I've been meaning to post about this for a while, but I see the change log being marked as updated every once in a while (for example, it's marked as being updated today), but if I click through to the log itself, it shows as last being updated on 2017-03-01 (see http://exult.info/snapshots/ChangeLo...

GuJiaXian

Can we get an updated PC version? Also, will the changelog be updated?

GuJiaXian

Yeah, I can confirm that the port works great...except for the interface, which is virtually unusable (KenC does point this out in his first post). So, other than as a proof-of-concept thing, it's really not playable. What's really needed is a from-scratch interface, replacing the mouse cursor with ...

GuJiaXian

Okay, it's up and running: I can confirm that the native Android port of Exult works on the Kindle Fire. However, the "mouse emulation" leaves a lot to be desired; perhaps I'll need to play with the mouse options.

GuJiaXian

I used the apk from the download page. Should I use that one or the one in this thread?

GuJiaXian

I'm still not able to get it to work on my Kindle. I've copied the game files to the following folders (I had to create the \app-data folder, as it doesn't exist by default on the Kindle). Note that the "root" folder on the Kindle Fire is already \sdcard. \app-data\net.sourceforge.exult\bl...

GuJiaXian

Where are you seeing this folder? I've opened my Fire by plugging it into my PC, and I don't see an \sdcard folder or any obvious place to put apps.

GuJiaXian

Not every Android device has an SD slot (for example, the Kindle Fire). You can connect the Fire to a PC with a USB cable and load stuff directly, but if this port of Exult requires an SD card, the Fire is outta luck.

GuJiaXian

I own Martian Dreams (paid a pretty penny, too), but I'd love to get Savage Empire--never plated through it before.

GuJiaXian

I like this idea--a lot.

GuJiaXian

That's unfortunate...the controls are what's keeping me from playing through the game again.

GuJiaXian

I tried playing U8 via DosBox not long ago, and what stopped me from playing much were the controls. Movement was so twitchy, and I hated the need to stop moving to turn. Is there any way Pentagram to improve the movement in the game?

GuJiaXian

It's been said before, and I'll say it again: perhaps it's time to make 1.4.x the official stable release (it's been years, after all...).

GuJiaXian

See, and it doesn't work for me. I'm running the latest 1.4.x snapshot. Hitting 'N' brings up the notebook, and I can type, but the text never wraps, and once it hits the middle of the pages it starts just typing blank spaces. I don't see any journal entries, either. I tested this in both TBG and SI...

GuJiaXian

Thanks, Dominus. Any ideas why full screen won't work?

GuJiaXian

One additional question: any idea why the full screen option doesn't work? I turn it on, hit OK, and absolutely nothing happens. When I go back into the graphics options, full screen is disabled again.

Very annoying.

GuJiaXian

Ugh, you're right...that isn't a very elegant solution. Sigh, it may be my only option...

GuJiaXian

For the record, here's the contents of my exult.cfg file: C:\Games\Ultima VII\Ultima 7 part 1 - The Black Gate (default) sqsfxbg.flx C:\Games\Ultima VII\Ultima 7 part 2 - Serpent Isle (default) sqsfxsi.flx 1 yes yes gs yes digital no 0 no 0 1.0000 -1 yes yes no yes no no yes no no no no no 0 origina...

GuJiaXian

What else do you need to know? I'm running Windows Vista at 1680x1050. With Exult set at 320x200, the Exult window is really small--I can barely make out detail, which makes playing the game difficult. Of course I can bump up the Exult resolution, but this just increases the viewable distance (which...

GuJiaXian

No one has any ideas?

GuJiaXian

I just beat Ultima VI for the first time in many years and reinstalled Exult. I set things up but, when in-game, I'm finding the default 320x200 window almost too small to see on my monitor. I really do like the default scaler (the "scalable" ones are way too pixelated for me). So, is ther...

GuJiaXian

Is it worth using Pentagram over just DOSBox?

GuJiaXian

I apologize for posting a Pentagram question on the Exult boards, but Pentagram doesn't have a forum. So, is Pentagram more or less finished? Will additional work be done? Should I keep checking back every week or so for updates? It's updated rather infrequently (yes, I know all about developers hav...

GuJiaXian

Well, I posted the other day (GuJiaXian), but there hasn't been a news post in over two years. I'm guessing it's a dead project.

GuJiaXian

Now, does this include the keyring mod, or is it completely separate?

GuJiaXian

Cool, thanks. The Pentagram team might want to fix/update the link on their download page, as it's currently broken. Also, is there anywhere I can get a general consensus on the overall stability and "playability" of the program?

GuJiaXian

Speaking of Ultima 8, anyone know what's going on (specifically) with Pentagram? I know their binaries are updated now and then (I think the newest is only a few days old), but the link to their change log is broken, and like certain other Ultima engine sites (coughcough), there are a surprising lac...

GuJiaXian

I haven't poked around with Exult in a while, but I've been getting that urge to play through Ultima VII again. I know where the 1.2 file is, and I can see the nearly daily unstable releases. I'd really like to play with as many bug fixes and tweaks as possible, so is there any chance of another sta...

GuJiaXian

Cool, thanks.

GuJiaXian

I know this might not be the right place to ask, but do any of the Pentagram team members come here? The Pentagram website doesn't have a forum, and the "ChangeLog" link on the Download page has been broken for quite some time.

GuJiaXian

Fair enough. Thanks!

GuJiaXian

I know you probably hate it when people ask when the next version will be out, but hey, when will the next version be out? I keep reading about odd bugs in the 1.4 version, and I'm just waiting for the "stable" stamp on it.

GuJiaXian

Heh, I don't think the old Origin address is still good anymore.

GuJiaXian

Wow, I just found a copy of Ultima Underworld at the local thrift store. The box is a little worn (it's obvious the previous owner played the game), but all four disks (3.5") are there, as well as all the various manuals and guides, and even the mail-in registration form. All for $2.00! Great f...

GuJiaXian

These posts and their terrible grammar and spelling are bordering on trolling. I visit the forums quite frequently (me=lurker), and it seems that the only posts are are made anymore are by this guy. Can the mods please do something about it? I know these boards aren't just for native English speaker...

GuJiaXian

Perhaps you should find a walkthrough. That way you wouldn't bother people here.

GuJiaXian

Any chance of Pentagram setting up some official forums? I check the webpage every few days for updates, but some forums would be awfully nice.

GuJiaXian

That's not working for me. Ctrl+Alt+M opens map editor mode, but the double-clicking on an item (a dagger, for example) doesn't do anything (well, it highlights the item, but that's all).

GuJiaXian

Forgive me if there's a way to do this already; low sleep and low blood sugar and all that... I'd like to have some method of determining exactly what items' stats are, specifically the stats for weapons, armor, and the like. I really thought of this while reading another thread in which it was ment...

GuJiaXian

I found copies of the book available on Amazon, but I'm (understandably) reluctant to shell out $12-$15 (US$) just to prove a theory.

GuJiaXian

Okay, I did some searching and I *think* that the book was "Ultima: The Avatar Adventures" by Prima. It was published in 1992, covered Ultimas 4-6, and included an interview with Richard Garriott.

GuJiaXian

I remember back in junior high (mid 90s) reading through a hint book for Ultimas 1 through 6. In the back was a lengthy interview with Richard Garriott, in which we was discussing the plots and ideas surrounding the (then) up-and-coming Ultima 7. I remember him explaining to the interviewer that the...

GuJiaXian

Thanks. That's exactly what I needed. Now, just to sort through a 900 kb text file...

GuJiaXian

I'd like to get a copy of all the dialogs in Ultima 7: The Black Gate. Am I looking for the raw usecode files or what? I have both Ultima 7 games (and their expansions) installed, along with the most recent beta (1.2beta, I think). If someone happens to have a text file with all the conversations (a...
