Exult Forum

Oh okay. So I would use Tools if I ever managed to create something worthwhile that people wanted to try out?

Is there a quick way to clone an item in Studio?

I also don't see where the image information for paperdolls are... but I probably don't need to worry about that just yet.

Just looking through pre-existing armour to see how everything is set up. It's starting to make a bit of sense, but this will clearly be more difficult than I expected. I see that the Silver Seed gear has "Usecode events" checked. Is it safe to assume that means that upon equipping them, s...

According to the documentation, "Next, you need to have the latest Exult snapshot and the SDL mixer installed properly onto your computer and working correctly. " Is that this on the download page? Libraries SDL 1.2.x I'm not sure what the SDL is, but if it's needed for Studio, why is it n...

Hmm. I'll go one step at a time and start on the item creation then. Should be doable, though. I think. Can you give me an idea of what Exult Tools is for? I have looked through the documentation for the other stuff, but can't find it for Tools. I want to keep it simple while I start so I don't get ...

So as I've mentioned, I think I'm going to try digging in on a super basic mod after all these years. To keep everything in one place for my simple and easily distracted mind, here's what's been discussed in the Mortegro thread: ------------------------------- Upon mentioning my interest in trying s...

Cool idea!
What is the ultimate training combo to maximize for each character? That's something I've always wanted to know.

I think if I were to toy with anything, I'd probably start with something more simple like I had mentioned in another thread... maybe just try and come up with some fun new equipment ideas and make them. From there see if I can find a good place to dump them and add some dialogue or a character givi...

What is the guy's name? I'm curious as to his comments on atheism..

Maybe I'll try digging in next week! Do I need to download something other than the Exult? Is there a separate development tool?

Yeah. Good luck! The above was clearly a joke.
What's the thesis on?

Master's thesis, shmaster's thesis. Get your act together, man!

I wish I could be helpful with this kind of thing. How much programming background do you need? While I have a major in comp sci, I haven't programmed in a decade...

The picture is real. BZ Lewis was in a band called Culture Shock.

It breaks my heart whenever I hear about all the content that was axed... if I can love the game as much as I already do, imagine if it was expanded on... re: I still don't see how you can take a U7 quality image and make it look like it belongs in that photo. Anyone know if that's even reasonably p...

One of the mods I am most excited about. That's great news!
Should I just wait for the progress report?

I just feel like the image quality is so low in the game that it would be incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to have it appear at the same quality level as an actual picture. I feel like it would have to be a one way trip... But I don't really know anything about photoshop, so what do I know. ...

This is amazing. I don't think that's a photoshop.. is it? That looks like it would be the source material. Is there a story to this? Google doesn't yield much, though this band (Bangkok Shock) from the same time has a similar aesthetic: http://fnarecords.net/index.php/the-culture-slut-collection.ht...

I commend all your hard work. All of you on all your projects. I am always looking forward to new developments.
I was thinking about playing U8 through DOSbox, but I'd rather wait a year or longer and play it through Pentagram.

Yeah and that's pretty much a dead project, huh? Hmmm. Anyone have much success playing it without Pentagram? I reckon it would be playable with DOS Box...

Oh you're absolutely right. I'm not saying that the weapons were the pinnacle of creativity or anything. I just think similar aspects being incorporated into some of the U7 mods would be amazing. More interesting magic weapons would be amazing. As I said.. it's been well over a decade since I last p...

Yeah... the mood in U8 was really awesome. This just makes me want to play it again! Man was that game a bummer.... (I like that). It was a nice change that no one gave a @!#$... Shame the gameplay was complete garbage. That's a really interesting take on U8/U9, TDI! In fact... I wish it were all in...

I keep wanting to go back and replay U8, but my last two attempt have been thwarted by frustrations of one kind or another. Still.. in my head, it's a cool game. I like the variety of weapons and magic. The side quests were actually pretty neat, if memory serves... It just always seems that reality ...

Any big updates in the world of mods?

The first one I ever played was Ultima 4 back when the 4-6 collection came out. I still look back at it as one of the best games I've ever played. I've truthfully only ever really played 4, 5, 7s, 8, and 9. Yes, the missing 6 is not an accidental omission. Not sure why... While I look back on 4 with...

If there are any updates, can you post here? I am in no rush (so please don't take this as rudeness), just want to know when I can update to keep plowing through the game.

Who put together the SI fixes? Does that mean it's your work?
