Exult Forum

My question is: where did he got his inspiration for the magic system in Ultima? Each version of Ultima is slightly different that the other when it comes to magic. In one case, all you need is having runes and uttering the spell in a certain order (à la Ultima Underworld). In another, you need the...

Where does the magic words come from: An, Bet, Corp, Des, Ex, Flam, Grav, Hur, In, Jux, Kal, Lor, Mani, Nox, Por, Quas, Res, Sanct, Tym, Uus, Vas, Wis, Xen, Ylem, Zu? (typed from memory: either I need a life or I played Ultima too much!) In the "Book of Ultima", it says that the spell syl...

I'd love to see one of the old Ultimas (1-4) remade with gemRB:

Are there any fantasy games/books/movies where people use both "you" and "thou"? (not interchangeably, but as a formal vs. informal way of addressing people)

I don't know exactly what you mean by "hard" reverse-engineering By "hard" reverse-engineering, he probably means disassembling a program and trying to understand the assembler code. The "soft" approach would be to modify the program's data files and examine how this c...

I think a Wiki like this would be very useful: - If someone has reverse-engineered parts of a game and then loses interest, he can add the information to the Wiki so it won't be lost. - The information in the Wiki might encourage someone to start reverse-engineering a particular game. - If a reverse...

(search for "Syllable Meaning")

As far as I know, the runes EE, EA, ST, NG, and TH don't correspond to magic syllables.

I googled for "apple ii" and "wrath of", and look what I found:

Achile:
You need to use a savegame created with the DOS version of Ultima 3.
If you start a new game with u3win, you won't be able to move.

I also heard a version of it a long time ago, I think from a German tour guide.

Was it the Drinking Song from The Student Prince?

SB-X was being ironic, hence the smiley.
Actually, I'm not sure if "ironic" is the right word, but you know what I mean.

Maybe it's another word for "affirmative action".

A trilogy of online games?

The font patch is fully compatible with xu4.

Would be neat to have an IRONMAN ultima where ALL the dialogue is in either Serpent Script or Britannian Runes.... hmmm...

There's a http://phorum.org/rune font patch for Ultima 4.

They could just put all versions of all single-player Ultimas on a DVD.

I meant OTHER than him. Where do you think I learned about it?

I got a new external toshiba 5 1/4" drive not too long ago from AU ebay.

Is it a USB drive?

Why can't you use them?

I think he wants aspect ratio correction, too.

What is the exact error message?
