Like the last news post said: "It's official: the next Exult stable version will be out soon after Duke Nukem Forever." Well, now. Gearbox Software is developing it now, and it will definitely be done and released by the end of 2011. So can we finally have a new Exult stable release shortl...

Skutarth

Two revelations:
1. Each body you "find" is worth 100 monetari.
2. Strikethrough apparently doesn't work on this version of phorum.

Skutarth

Considering you get hit by the teleport storm, I don't see how this is really that relevant. Would you seriously be motivated to find the missing pieces of leather armor that Iolo started with instead of just getting a different set? All you need to do is buy all the crap after [s]killing[/s] findin...

Skutarth

Maybe try the GP2X F-200 Exult release with touchscreen support.

Skutarth

The only problem is the top right one (original post). If I didn't already know it was a moongate, I wouldn't have a clue what I was looking at.
I vote for no diagonal moongates.

Skutarth

Spark's shiny ass!

Skutarth

I don't know how I've never run into this before. I suck.

Skutarth

Enscorcio is a chicken in the Sleeping Bull Inn, and he calls me a pikeman and asks if I've failed yet. Nowhere in his possible dialog do I see anything about buying spells. This is in the original Serpent Isle (w/Silver Seed), and I haven't cheated at all. I don't remember ever having this issue be...

Skutarth

Very impressive. At 100%, it feels like the SNES version (bleh) when you use the arrow keys. You should, however, move the option to the video options instead of gameplay. It would be awesome if everything could be interpolated like this. Yeah, I already know it's unlikely due to the rendering code,...

Skutarth

I never really thought about it before, but couldn't smooth scrolling be achieved through post-processing effects?

Skutarth

Right... I can't see how an obvious joke followed by a compliment can be considered condescending.

Skutarth

Whatever. Stop wasting your time beating a dead horse and spend more time helping to make Exult more awesome like you have already been doing.

Skutarth

Marzo: I'm sorry that you don't know that "nothing is impossible" is an idiomatic phrase, but you don't have to respond so condescendingly.

And you should bother reading the rest of (a): "Just because they didn't post here doesn't mean they don't exist."

Skutarth

One of the wonders of intelligent programming.

Skutarth

(a) Nonsense. Plenty of people want multiplayer in Ultima 7. Just because they didn't post here doesn't mean they don't exist. (b) Nothing is impossible. In fact, restructuring the code to be more object oriented would help make a project like this easier, and it would most likely be accepted into t...

Skutarth

His profile info reeks of advertisement.

Skutarth

I'm assuming you're posting this using a computer. So why don't use your computer to play Ultima 7? Sheesh.
Besides, I'm sure the illegal Xbox port of Exult is ages out of date.

Skutarth

I wonder why Marzo didn't also credit himself for tweaking my sprite.

Skutarth

This project has gotten a lot farther than I thought it would.
Thank god.

Skutarth

Awesome.

Skutarth

If you're going to base it off of existing artwork, I suggest looking at the Savage Empire SNES game. It was only released in Japan, and amounted in gameplay similar to the SNES version of Black Gate, but it had U7 style graphics. Email me about it, and I'll send you screenshots.

Skutarth

Ignore that SE post. Apparently I was on drugs and didn't know which thread I was posting in.

Skutarth

The "Lord British Presents" render is really good.
Any chance you'll post it in a background resolution? (1280x1024)

Skutarth

Honestly, though. Your version of the backpack is much better. I can wait for the next version.
Also, thanks for not doing all the silly paperdoll things. Heh.

Skutarth

It appears to be working fine. Nice work on the backpack, but the straps are a little thick considering you don't see straps at all on the front.

Skutarth

Skutarth

As far as engine capabilities, I believe the answer is yes to all of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that animation can be governed by usecode. Just as well, I definitely know you can utilize usecode with pretty much any shape. Check out the Quests and Interactions, at the Seven Towers, t...

Skutarth

The resolution is a bit of a problem, but more of a problem is that you'd have to rewrite a LOT of rendering code for it to work well at all. The DS, like the GBA, has hardware graphics registers, whereas I believe Exult run software (please correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, the entire rendering ...

Skutarth

Heh. You lazy monkey.

Skutarth

If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and warn Richard Garriott to make sure he kept the source code safe. That would sure make the Exult team's job easier.
Also, to keep the near-gold copy of Lost Vale safe to eventually release. Who knows, though. That one may still exist somewhere.

Skutarth

How's the progress on the new version, Marzo?

Skutarth

SPOILER ALERT!!! Another good example: When in Serpent Isle you expose the two goblin traitors, it effects a lot of conversation and those NPC's involvement in the future. However, you may recognize this as required to continue the game. You can, though, only expose one of the two traitors by only r...

Skutarth

I have the Ultima Collection, and it gives me the same error. It still installed it fine, though. It just happened at the end and closed the installer.

Skutarth

Aww, Dominus. Didn't you want the thread to get as massive as that one about Spark? Haha.

Skutarth

Any news on the next release?

Skutarth

In this case, it would be a bad idea to use it as a post-processing filter. Since the palette of Ultima 7 is so limited, and since there are a lot of black outlines, you would get unwanted assumed shapes from the filter when shapes overlap. It's implemented properly as-is. Sure, it would run faster ...

Skutarth

It was also an ugly cheat to put fake features onto the back of the Serpent Isle box.

Skutarth

Whoops, you're right about the attack frames.
You could always just cheat on those and have the shield disappear or something, though.

Skutarth

Nope, just change it so the weapon isn't rotated with the sprite, so it can be displayed behind it like it's in the right hand. Then you could have the shield always on the left hand and have it look something like this: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7069/pikemanshield1fk8.png http://img76.imag...

Skutarth

Does anybody know if he solicits at the Texas Renaissance festival?
I'd love to meet him.

Skutarth

It looks like they completely made up the scene for the box. I'm thinking the shield the girl is holding is actually just the wall-mounted version of the Monitor shield shape placed so it looks like she's holding it.

Skutarth

Haha. I never noticed that in the screenshot on the back of the Serpent Isle box.

Skutarth

I don't see Batlin as a good example, and Lord British looks more realistic because it's supposed to blatantly be Richard Garriott. And 75 looks realistic, but it has enough drawn-in art that it fits in. As I said, though: it looks fine. I'm just nagging. And I got it mixed up... they're dithered as...

Skutarth

Make sure your paths in the CFG are correct.
If they are, try the latest snapshot from the downloads page.

Skutarth

Some of the portraits need a little more blandification. If you look at the stock portraits, most of them look like their faces aren't dithered at all and have hair created by hand. The ones most true to the original so far are the redheaded female and (as sad as it is) the buckethead. They all look...

Skutarth

Looks great!
It also runs fine for me, but my specs are reasonably high, so I can't give any input on performance.

Skutarth

Well, at least you're taking the responsibility to replace it instead of waiting for it to fail.

Skutarth

Any news on the next Avatar Pack?
I'm extremely impatient. Heh.

Skutarth
