With a bit of tweaking, its also working beautifully on my HP - 240x240 screen and all. Very happy. Thanks for your hard work - can't believe how fast you pulled it off. Big thanks to the rest of the Exult team for the amazing engine too! I can't believe I used to have to depend on Nethack for my Po...

MagicMop

Thanks for the info Colourless. I tried changing the res in exult.cfg file to 240x240 but now I get: Black Gate : not found (.\static\endgame.dat) exult_bg.flx : found Serpent Isle : not found (.\static\sispeech.spc) exult_si.flx : found Couldn't set video mode (320, 240) at 8 bpp depth: No video mo...

Hi there! I have an hp iPAQ hw6515c running Windows Mobile 2003SE. The hw6515c unfortunately has a non-standard screen size - 240 x 240. When I try to run Exult I get the following in stdout.txt: Couldn't set video mode (320, 240) at 8 bpp depth: No video mode large enough for 320x240 Is my problem ...

MagicMop

Wow! This is potentially great! If I was wearing a hat it would go off to you sir...

All the best!

This MOD does so much cool stuff! I would recommend changing its name from the rather deceptive "Keyring MOD" to something a little more eye grabbing - like "The Official Exult Ultima 7 Enhancement Pack" or something.

MagicMop

Yup, what gruck said is what worked for me...

MM

MagicMop

Wow... it actually works in Windows! Very cool! Yes, the camera movement interface is quite fiddly - but the project is showing incredible potential. I'm very pleased that you decided not to fiddle with anything but the graphics - after all, Ultima 7's gameplay is as close to perfect as a game can g...

MagicMop

Strangely enough, of all the Ultimas (1-3 NOT included...), U6 is the only one I haven't completed. I think it had a lot to do with the interface. Also, the game window is so restrictively small that it felt cramped, even though the game world was so huge. Ultima 7 addressed all of these problems qu...

MagicMop

Hmmm... after the Mayor jumps in the well... did you go to the Tortured Soul (can't remember his name... Caine?) and ask him the Life & Death question? If not then that is probably the problem...

MM

MagicMop

This is a great idea! Solo mode would be a great time saver. Another idea, though this would probably be a little more tricky to implement, would be to be able to select party members in a manner similar to Baldur's Gate (ie. drag a selection box around the party members you want to control). This m...

MagicMop

Kestral, the best way for you to get U8 to run in english is to buy it (check ebay) and not use the "abandonware" version you downloaded.

MagicMop

Thats a very good point...

I think the spell needs to be cast just off the coast of the island if you're travelling by boat...

... I think...

MM

MagicMop

Okay... it's been absolute AGES since I've played U7-BG... so feel free to laugh and point at me if I get this wrong. I'm pretty sure that Kissme is sprinkling anti magic dust around the island so if you cast weather to make it rain, it'll take away the effect allowing you to cast magic as normal. O...

MagicMop

Wow... that's good stuff! You've done a great job DrCode! Its not super stiff like the original, and not all over the place like the old method. I like it! Now I'm wanting to play through the Black Gate AGAIN! I'd hate to know how many hours of my life I've wasted on this game! Thanks again for all ...

MagicMop

Wow, I love the new combat features. Being able to pause the action in the middle of combat with the spacebar and give orders to the party really adds some much needed strategy to the weakest component of Ultima 7. Reminds me a lot of NWN and BG.

Great job! The best game keeps getting better!

MM

MagicMop

Just keep all the keys in a bag in your inventory and use the 'k' key to access any key, just like you would a keyring. Its a nice Exult feature that works just as good as a keyring.

Of course, you probably know this already...

MM

MagicMop

Great job guys! Exult has been a dream come true for me - not only allowing me to play such a great game again, but actually improving on the original in a lot of ways!

Congratulations on making it to version 1.0!

MM

MagicMop

I've gotta agree with Mister OgreBattle on this one. I'd take Black Gate anyday. As far as I'm concerned - it's got the perfect balance between wandering around doing what you feel like and following the plot. Also, at the end of the game, you really get the feel that Britannia has changed for the b...

MagicMop

Hmmm... if I'm not mistaken, now is the perfect time for someone to suggest a multiplayer option for exult.

Ummm... geez, why is everyone looking at me like that?

Oh, nevermind...

MM

MagicMop

Hehe... well, my pocketpc is an old Jornada 450... they only have 16Mb of RAM, so the most program memory I can squeeze out of it is about 11 or 12 meg. Oh well... I'm not too worried. I can still play Sam'n'Max and DOTT on it, and all the old Sierra adventures... so I won't be too cut up if I can't...

MagicMop

Say Colourless, around how much program memory would a PocketPC need to run Exult, hypothetically of course...

Thanks...

MM

MagicMop

Well, I'm from Perth in Western Australia.... I know there are plenty of Aussies who love Ultima, so speak up!!

I've played all the Ultimas, and finished 4, 5, 7 part 1 and 2, 8 and 9. I almost finished 6, but I lost my saves during a reformat!

I boarded an enemy ship using exult... It was just a case of "parking" the ship at just the right spot so that both gangplanks can be lowered and meet in the middle... (of course, the pirates stood there with their swords and waited for me to get the ship in just the right position. I can'...

MagicMop

Wisps... they're great for harvesting lumber without actually cutting down any trees...

Oh wait... wrong game...

MM

MagicMop

Yup, I voted for Exult too. And I don't even use Linux... I like Exult THAT much!

MM

MagicMop

Hehe, I remember the Ultima IX boards and the discussions with Lady Moi and CaptnBill - was that his name? I was so excited about Ultima IX that I got sucked into all the hype - until the game got released, the boards got closed down and the angry fans were all silenced... I was quite annoyed about ...

MagicMop

Geez, am I the only one whe never bothers with ocean travel? The problems with boats were just as bad in the old DOS days...

Give me a flying carpet (with convenient seating) anyday!

MM

MagicMop

Hmm... DrCode has never played Silver Seed before... ??

*MM's head explodes*

MagicMop

*cough* lawsuit *cough*

MagicMop

Well, there is a Ultima 8 viewer thing called Pentagram being coded by some of the Exult team that could possibly evolve into a fully blown game engine depending on whether people are able / can be bothered to do it. After all, Exult started out as a map viewer of sorts all those years ago. So I gue...

MagicMop

I believe the chorus is as follows:

Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

Plus there's a few pages worth of verses too...

MagicMop

LOL!!

Aaaah, I love America...

MagicMop

I've given it a quick glance over - and already I've found a few side quests that I missed out on! Heh... I thought I was pretty thorough when I played through U7 last time too...

Looks like you've done a great job! I'll be referring back to it often I'm sure!

MM

MagicMop

Glad to see I wasn't the only one scratching his head at the end of that one DrCode...

MagicMop

Here's a crazy and stupid idea! With someone mentioning the U8 speech pack, I had an idea... why not create a "speech pack" for U7... as a post-v1.0 addition... People in the exult community who think they've got the right stuff could choose an npc from the game and record their lines and ...

MagicMop

I think what MV is refering to is the bug in the dungeon on the isle of the avatar. If you fly you magic carpet over the mountains on a certain spot on the island, you trigger a door inside. If this happens, you can only complete the game if you use mark/recall. This was in the original anyway... no...

MagicMop

Oh wait. How stupid of me.

*bangs head against the wall*

Geez you guys are pretty cruel...

MagicMop

Well, I guess the online community won't be making original free RPGs with exultstudio now! What a surprise this is! I guess it's a happy ending though. Congratulations to the team. Is there anywhere you guys (the exult team) are going to be posting to keep in contact with the Exult fans? Here perha...

MagicMop

I agree feeding the party is a bit tricky with the way they clump up... but an easy solution is to have the status bars on, and just feed the characters faces on their status bars. No problems!

MagicMop

Well, considering all the naughty pictures you have on your HDD suraimu, your vote doesn't count!

j/k...

MagicMop

Are you guys aware that you've been mentioned in the hardware letters section of GameSpot? Nice...

MagicMop

Heh, very clever! A picture speaks a thousand words...

MagicMop

Oooooh! Sets and subsets!! Takes me back to highschool, drawing those groovy overlapping circles!

MagicMop

I think you need to talk to the nameless monk, who will tell you when the tides are right to get the mandrake root - then it'll appear near the swamp at the northern point of the island.

Hey, you're from Perth too! Cool!

MM

MagicMop

Hi guys... I was thinking about the possibilities with Exult Studio, and having the entire Exult community getting behind the project of building a massive single player RPG, and I got this idea... You could have a central Game Design team, that would put together an outline of what the game is abou...

MagicMop

Well, yes. Combining games would be amazing... but pretty impractical I would think. From a purist point of view, there is a lot of stuff that happens between the end of BG and the beginning of SI. A full year passes (I think) and the events of UW2 take place - so unless there is a text box that pop...

MagicMop

Hmmm... *checks country*
Nope. No jokes or humour here. Oh wait... here's some sarcasm... will that do?

MM

MagicMop

I also want to add my thanks...

Now my Exult Experience (ExultXP?) has come to an end having played successfully through both games and reliving all my old memories of the two greatest games ever made.

Bah! I think I'll play them through again!

After Ultima7, I think the Fallout games are quite a bit of fun. It's not the "living breathing world(tm)" that Ultima7 is (ie NPCs don't go to bed at night...) but it certainly wins some points for being able to do pretty much whatever you want. Hmm, should I free these slaves, or should ...
