Ultima VIII tile size
Hi. I would very much appreciate it if someone could inform me of the size of the tiles used in Ultima VIII. Are they 44X44 as in Ultima Online, or are they 32X16? Thank you very much.

Re: Ultima VIII tile size
They are 0.5 x 0.5. 
Seriously, Ultima 8 doesn't have have a specific tile size. Coords in the game world are accurate to half a pixel and shapes can be any size, with their bounding boxes at multiples of 8 (in 3D, not 2D). However, the game does have a standard size for ground tiles, and that is 32x32 (in 3D) which translates to 32x16 in 2D.
So answering your question, the 'ground tile' size is 32x16
