I concur with above two statements. First one looks better.

Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress review is up

Petrell

Can't say if Marzo is serious or not but at least Exult changelog has seen increased number of updates of late. Last time Marzo was this active was around May last year.

Petrell

If they sell old Ultima's, they'll have to do some additional work: Either port them to run on newer versions of Windows, or include DOSBOX or Exult+Pagan. But then technical support would be a nightmare. Or they could make a deal with GOG.com (Good Old Games) and provide the game files and any add...

Petrell

Eh, it'll be nice to get away from Dungeon Seige. I mean the Project Britannia frame work is all good and well but I think most people like it for remakes because its established more so than its simply a slightly newer 3d engine to work from. In all honesty, though, I thought the Dungeon Siege eng...

Petrell

Obviously I remember RoU :) I worked as news poster for Dino's Ultima Page for quite long time (had to drop out last year). :P The project is probably dead now with having no update for over year now. Even the forums are gone now. It'll be good if you can salvage something from it's ashes. Obviously...

Petrell

Shame you had to drop Dungeon Siege engine :( It would have been nice to see another game using the Project Britannia framework. I has evolved lot along the development of Ultima 6 Project. There have been number of Ultima projects using NWN 2 engine. None of them have succeeded so far and most have...

Petrell

For Mac? You have to compile it from source code.

Petrell

Well to make 'legal' standalone TFL game, you'd have to make all the game assests your self (art, sound, code, writing etc.) and borrow nothing from U7/SI or other proprietary games. You could not use any modified assests either. Also as you said, all proprietary file formats would also have to be r...

Petrell

board does not support hiragana it seems

Petrell

Congratulations Gruck for gaining master's decree in gibberish. You must be proud, ;) :P Problem is that even if someone would give answers, would you be able to translate their english answers to gibberish so kimminho can understand them? Kimminho, are you japanese? Kimminho-san, anata wa nihonjin ...

My brain just melted...

Petrell

What is the keyring mod? :) You can find the mod (as well as Serpent Isle Fixes and Avatar Pack) at Seven Towers From mod readme: The mod started out by adding a keyring to Black Gate. It has two new NPCs, several new items and graphics and the following things: - You can now meditate at the Shrine...

Petrell

All the Lazarus portaits can be found at The Hawks Ultima V: Lazarus page. Just make sure you have permission to use them from Laz team first.

Petrell

Thanks, that seems to have worked with latest firefox. I was getting following error:

502 Bad Gateway
nginx/0.6.34

Weird thing was, it only affected some topics, not all.

Petrell

tedreedy, would you be interested in helping The Ultima 6 Project as their February Update posted at RPGWatch states that they won't be able to make all the needed music tracks for the final release with their current resources? To anyone interested: Ultima 6 Project Team is currently looking for 3D...

Petrell

Also link to Aiera in "Ultima-related" is broken (there's an extra http). TFL IRC Logs returns an error (url is incorrect and can not be loaded).

Petrell

You should update the link to your page in sourceforge as well. It's currently pointing to http://www.u7feudallands.com/

Petrell

Welcome back Marzo

You had me worried a bit there with your sudden absence. Nice to see you're energetic as always

Petrell

You seem to be making nice progress. Just don't overdo it with detail as you will have to make usecode for all that to work. Also if you put too much detail in the intro and rest of the game has less functions you may end up making false expectations about rest of the game (like some games where fir...

Petrell

Nice progress Scythifuge. Any change on screenshots of some of the completed pieces? Any plans of building a site for the project? Marzos absence is worrying. There has not been updates to source code since 25th of november last year and his last post is from 7th of december so it's been almost two ...

Petrell

Reasonable requests? Less see now... Release source code of Ultima 7 pt1 & pt2 + expansions (and any other ultima if they exist, engine source code is fine ;)). Offer Ultima IX Dragons Edition for sale at gog.com (Good Old Games). Possible? :P (I know Hell will melt first before that happens [it...

Petrell

Haha. Now there's a worthy project for some ambitious modder(s) : Moving all those dungeons to separate map now that Exult supports multible maps :p. Not that there would be much benefit besides not seeing things you're not supposed to in higher resolutions, freeing those areas for future modder use...

Petrell

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Oh and thanks Dominus

Petrell

btw, how do you get links to show up properly in this forum?

Petrell

Well, new snap shots are released rather regularly mostly by Marzo and he just did some major updates to code as seen in http://exult.info/snapshots/Changelog . Other people touch the code on occasion as well. In order to speed up development project would need more coders that would both stick arou...

Petrell

Also files at reconstruction are no longer kept up to date but you can download most ultima related files from Ultima: Aiera (http://www.ultimaaiera.com/).

I also mirror Marzo's mods http://koti.mbnet.fi/ton_hur/ -> links -> ultima

Petrell

There are no changes in change log after 26/02/2008 even thought latest snapshot (and changelog) is dated 14/03/2008.

Petrell

what was changed in SIFixes and Avatar pack or is the date due to reupload? (newest files in avatar pack are from last year (28.4.2007) but few files (mainshp.flx and usecode) in SI fixes are dated 29.2.2008 but the readme is unchanged). Oh and readme of BGKeyring mod on the site is from previous ve...

Petrell

For time being you can get the mods from my site if needed (http://koti.mbnet.fi/ton_hur/ -> Links -> Ultima and scroll down to Exult entry). BG Keyring and SIFixes are dated 16/02/2008.

WtFD at Aiera (http://www.ultimaaiera.com/) should also update the one's available at his site shortly.

Petrell

Would have to see them in game to make good judgement (been probably decade now since I last played :P) so I'd have to compare to screenshots and they look rather small if you compare them to blue teleporters in http://exult.info/images/screenshots/love.png screenshot. But I wouldn't use the top rig...

Petrell

New versions uploaded. I'm sure WtFD at Aiera will update his files as well soon.

Petrell

Yes, they work just fine again. :) Was writing news for Dino's Ultima page (http://gigi.nullneuron.net/ultima/, domain expiration being one of the intented news. Had to do with your mod updates instead :p) and decided to try them again, and voila, they were back. Will update the mod files on my site...

Petrell

that did not take long :p They're back again

Petrell

Both Feudal Lands and Seven Towers are gone

Petrell

oh right. I did notice it with u2 but did not think of trying with others :p still, no such freature in u6 or u7 maps atm as far as I can see.

found the underworld too after searching as it was not same place as it was in Laz :p don't remember much from original U5

Petrell

There's maps of first 7 ultimas at http://ultima.thehawkonline.com/ For first three they are about 1000*1000 pixels in size (U1 has 4 such maps) and for U4 up they're about 4100*4100 pixels in size for those who're interested (again not 1*1 scale thought). Only overworld maps, no dungeons or underwo...

Petrell

Lazarus is already "done" (with many show-stopping but intermittent bugs), and U6P is nearly "done" also. Umm, as far as I know, U5L has no real showstopping bugs and no further development will be made beyond what modders do. If you know any that has not been mentioned in U5L Te...

Petrell

One of the two? To my count there are 61 E3D related shots in his screenshot gallery but that's the only one with sky : http://www.sammatthews.com/images/Exult3D/

Petrell

It appears that, including underworlds 1&2 and savage empire, all but ultima 7 pt1 & pt2 (plus martian dreams and VIII's speech pack) were fully tranlated to japanese. See Ultima collectors guide at http://www.ultimacollectors.info/ For screenshots of Ultima 1 - 5 in japanese see Ultima Coll...

Petrell

As I was quessing but why are the file dates so old? And mentioning changes in readme would be nice even if they change nothing fundamentaly ;p

Petrell

What was changed? Readme's are the same and newest files inside the zip's are dated 14/07...

Petrell

I don't by into memory issues, when they have successfully ported Quake to NDS. There's big difference with porting a game you have source code of and reverse engineering and recreating a game engine. I'm pretty sure that if U7BG/SI would have been made open source it could be ported almost any sys...

Petrell

oh, my mistake then

. I asumed it wasn't released as it wasn't available anywhere nor do I remember seeing the release mentioned anywhere over the years (I only read forum, I don't do irc

).

Petrell

As far as I know file dated 11.1.2005 is the latest available and Sam(Samuel) Matthews, the person who developed it never released source code (I might be wrong) for it so no-one but he him self could develop it further. So unless that happens or he releases the source, no further development will b...

Petrell

Wouldn't it be better to post the files in downloads page along with other ports and files? Users may accidently download the wrong version with so many links in the topic.

Petrell

Total Conversion is more accurate

Petrell

I have them (keyring, sifixes & avatar pack) uploaded on my site. http://koti.mbnet.fi/ton_hur/ -> links -> ultima and scroll down to almost bottom of the page to Exult entry. Alternatively you can find them at Ultima : Aiera (http://aiera.timeimmortal.net/) along with pretty much any ultima pat...

Petrell

WD, Yes, In my opinion Redemtion seem to be one of the projects that will likely to reach completion. It may take another year or two but they'll likely make it. Then again, what do I know :) I've been proven wrong before. As for my experience with online RPG's, I have never played UO (or any other ...
