Is it possible to make them "official" NPCs so we can give them a schedule and things like that?

raven566

About NPC schedules, I have a question. With both of the Ultima 7 add ons, the NPCs don't have a schedule, they are always doing 1 event and there is no way to give them a schedule. Strangly, all of these NPCs, like Ertherian (sp?), Tsandar, Elissa, and all of those are all set to NPC 0 when I view ...

It's great to see that in the 1.1 snapshot, keyboard movement was implemented. But, using the numeric keypad, in the orginal you could walk by turning numlock off and run by turning it on. In Exult, I know you can hold down the shift key to run, but I always liked to run all of the time without havi...

raven566

In the orginal versions of both BG and SI, there was a specific location to which NPCs would go to when they die. In BG, this room is by Cove and in SI it's in the far top left of the map. In SI, besides being a room of the dead, it's a room where special NPCs are that you have already met who vanis...

I remember a while ago I was looking around in the usecode and saw the conversations for the 2 female warriors and the cyclops. The words to finish the "quest" are in there, but you never see them for some reason. With the unicorn, you can just keep telling that guy (whatever his name is) ...

I've had the same problem as SnowyThing on my Windows 2000 machine. My Ultima 8 did work once before, but no longer. It just crashes and says "Rest Avatar, you will need it." And when it did work, it was very unstable and would crash alot. It's because of these things I could never get int...

You can MAKE your own potions using cauldrons? I've been playing Ultima 7 for years and I thought I knew everything about it. How exactly do you make potions using cauldrons and reagents??

raven566

Hello? Nobody can help me?

raven566

It is not by Bucannear's Den, it is kinda north of Jhelom and west of Trinsic. The key is very usefull. I believe it has a quality of zero and therefore it acts as an unbreakable lock pick.

raven566

Just recently, I have been having trouble starting BG. It used to work fine, but now whenever I choose it from the start up menu, my computer locks up to a black screen. I need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL and shut Exult down manually. I am using the 6.13 snapshot. The strange thing is that SI works fine. ...

raven566

It seems when an NPC dies in SI, they go to coordinates 4000 something by 4000 something, which is off the map. You can change his schedule and flags and to bring him back, I think. But I'm not sure if that will work. And I really wish the Exult team would bring back the House of the Dead in both BG...

raven566

When I was recently playing SI from the beginning, I got back Shamino and he had no backpack or any of the items in the backpack, but he had all of his other items. Then, magically one day his backpack returned.

raven566

Speaking of schedules, in the expanion packs for both games, you cannot change the NPCs schedule of buisness activities. For example, if you are in SI: Silver Seed and you try to access Surok the healer's buisness schedule, all you see is the current activity. This has happened on both my Windows 20...

raven566

In the expansion packs for both parts of Ultima 7, you can set their current activity but you cannot create an entire buisness schedule for them. Maybe it has something to do with every NPC number for any NPC in the expansions are -1. In barrels, you can only place items in them in a square border i...

I was using Exult Studio and browsing Serpent Isle's FACES.VGA file and I came across a wierd face. It's number 297. I have never seen it in the game before. Does anyone know what it is? It appears to be some kind of monster extending his hand in a certain gesture.

raven566

Yes I am using BG, but I'm sure I remember polymorphing in BG. Maybe I was wrong . . .

raven566

I'm using the newest snapshot as of this time. When I try to polymorph my character using the cheat menu, it has no effect. You know, when you press F2-> n-> 0-> n-> 2 (or something like that). I am asked to type in a number to polymorph to, but the flag is never set to "Y". I remember tha...

raven566

I'm using the newest release of Exult and I've noticed a few "small" bugs that I've seen in the past versions and I just want to make sure you're all aware of them: -Items such as lockpicks, reagents, and coins don't automatically group themselves. And keys don't automatically add themselv...

raven566

I was wondering if the "House of the Dead" areas are working. The places I'm talking about are the carpeted area inside the moutains west of Cove in BG and the far northwest corner in SI. After killing some NPC's, I go to these places and find them empty (or in SI, they only have the impor...

raven566

Yeah I know it's impractical, it's just a thought. . .

raven566

While SI's storyline is quite involved and complex, there are many things that don't get solved. In the BG, almost every side quest and such in the game gets solved. But in SI, some things you will never solve. For example: What really happened to Angus? Why can't Cantra be cured? What's with that &...

raven566

Yes, the "cinematic" sequence of SI are pretty cool. But while SI has some new technology and a more in-depth storyline, it just doesn't seem as the programmers put as much effort in it. Lots of space is wasted on the map and the ending is obviously a quick fix just to finish it. If there ...

raven566

I had the exact same problem in the Mts. of Freedom. I also had it in Shamino's castle in Batlin's room.

raven566

In my opinion both Ultima 7's are the best Ultimas ever made. The Ultima Underworlds make a close second.

raven566

I also prefer BG over SI. While SI offers some good enhancements and cool items that pcmage mentions, in BG you can use a boat and have more freedom, along with lots of side quests. And SI gets fairly complex for first timers while BG is fairly straightforward. It also kinda sucked how Origin chose ...

raven566

I have yet to find a fresh male corpse in Skullcrusher, but in Spinebreaker, there's a small room with lots of fresh corpses. Also in the room is a table with a serpent statue on it and behind the room is a bed with some powdered kegs.

raven566

In the Black Gate, I just store my stuff in my ship's hold. But if I ever get a real lot of stuff, I usually store it at the docks in Britain. In Serpent's Isle, the Monitor Inn makes an excellent place to store stuff, until you get the jaw bone that is.

raven566

I had the same problem, it's probably an Exult bug. I just teleported to the final room with the Liche and the illusion wall in the north west. That's the only way I've found to beat it, unless there's some egg or something I'm missing. But in the original I don't remeber doing anything special to g...

raven566

I had a similiar issue with Alanger in the original game, not Exult. I would come back to New Magencia to return the notebook and see him chopped up. Then, much later in the game I would come back again and find the body gone and Alanger back to normal. One time when I was playing the game several y...

raven566

You found the generator in a small room? It should be a fairly big room in the northern part of the dungeon. A room of dragons and fire is towards the left. Two black magically locked doors lead into it. The ethereal ring must be enchanted by Penumbra in Moonglow before it will be effective. If you ...

raven566

Atraxerxes, I have had similar problems with EMS memory in UW and UW along with VDM sound. I have found somewhat of a solution. I am running Windows 2000 Professional. When I first ran both UW's, they crashed. I learned of a hex hack on Polychromic's Workshop page at http://home.attbi.com/~macecil/u...

raven566

No, it functions as a lockpick that never breaks. It can also re-lock anything that never had a key, like people's houses and random chests.

raven566

I had a problem similar to that in SI, but only at certain points in the game. Two specific points were the lever room in the Mountains of Freedom and in Batlin's bedroom of Shamino's castle. I would save it and then it would immediately exit the game. I could only quick save it, regular save didn't...

raven566

That makes a lot of sense. It is obvious Cantra and Gwenno were possessed by a bane, but I never thought about Angus from Sleeping Bull. But Devra mentioned that she heard noises in the cellar the night Angus disappeared. There are lots of secret tunnels in the cellar, but no fresh corpse. I will ha...

raven566

Quoting DrCode: -Let's see... -Talking: This worked for me the last time I tried it. Possibly broken recently, then. This has never worked for me. I must go to the NPCs and initiate the converstation. It doesn't interfer with the game, but it might confuse those who have never played the game before...

raven566

I have just recently played through all of the BG and SI, both with their add ons and I have noticed some consistent faults. I don't know if my computer is just tweaky or there is a problem with Exult. Here are some of the things: -When people have something to say to you (like with the mayor of Tri...
