Exult Forum

Even if you had optimal hardware, U9 had a lot of severe plot breakage if you didn't do things /exactly/ as the devs flowchart intended. It was easy to totally break the gameflow, even _with_ the 'last minute' patch they released just after the game went gold. It took quite a few patch revisions bef...

I really enjoyed the comparison/contrast you get in Ultima 6, looking at the Gargish perspective.

Another way of doing that would be really interesting.

Not even Linux uses Linux-style branching versions anymore.

Well, that's an interesting bug. This also brings up a point that I was wondering about when I got a friend interested in Exult (mostly due to me rambling and ranting about my fun with compiling the Mac version).. There isn't a scale option beyond 'x2'. This seems odd to me; nowadays, the native res...

At the moment, fink has one of their core servers down. I don't feel like futzing around with their documented workarounds, so this will have to wait until later. I have too much of a headache right now for that. :p So you know, if I get this working, I have absolutely no objection to producing a 1....

Do you have any particular milestones you're looking for, before the next release?
I'm just curious as to what criteria you're using for that, since /so much/ has happened since the last release.

Initial news: I'm having a bit of trouble with SDL-Mixer. I had been using Darwin Ports to provide a lot of the libraries.. This isn't working out so hot; it appears that the version of sdl-mixer source that Darwin Ports pulls doesn't like OSX 10.4. Is most antagonistic about it, so far. I'll look i...

One of my planned projects for this weekend is to try to build Exult on my Intel iMac. I'll be sure to put up a note on how it does (or does not) go.

I would of course be pulling from CVS, as I could not imagine playing 1.2 at this point.

I'm honestly unsure.
Is that sarcasm, or do combat projectiles work differently in Exult? I was so trained not to use ranged weapons from original U7, that I haven't really tried them in Exult.

I've debated, on more than one occasion, whether it'd be worthwhile to look into porting Exult to the NDS... Challenges include resolution (256x192 is not quite up to what Exult makes use of), memory (4 megabytes of core ram), input (No keyboard). There's ways of working around these, though.. For g...

The reason I suggested an object was so that there was a visible indication of where a party member was headed. If you have six party members and are facing a swarm of something, remembering who's headed where after the third pause could be tricky. :) That, and I like draggable stuff. They're fun. I...

I know the U7 combat has come up quite a few times, although I wasn't able to quickly locate any general purpose combat threads in my half-hearted attempt to research before posting. Functionally speaking, U7 is decently well balanced that you don't /need/ much in the way of combat strategy to get t...

Back when Exult Studio was still a new thang and things like multi-maps not conceived of yet, I had hoped to do a 'remake' of Ultima4. I've since found I totally lack the time for such a venture, and look forward to seeing the results here. It may not be what I envisioned, but hey, this looks like i...
