Thanks, I'll see what I can do with them.

Bomb Bloke

Thanks, will do.

I'm curious as to whether anyone still has a copy of Ken's old work. The Dropbox links in the main (locked) Native Android thread have gone dead (and apparently they're due to kill a whole bunch more next week).

Bomb Bloke

Yes, so right. Some things have to be let unsolved/unexplained and that actually adds a lot to the atmosphere. Each one of the corpses scattered here and there for the dungeons made me think "ah, who was this brave adventurer? from where did he/she hail?" Would those be resurrectable, tha...

I've had to clear up a lot of forum spam lately. I'm beginning to suspect that the bots can generate accounts.

So, to try and work out what's going on, the option to loop music is checked, but music still does not loop. This, however, is a known bug, and nothing can be done. Correct?

I'd like to debate the virtues of bread. Did you know that 98% of criminals ate bread at some point in their lives? In fact, 100% of people who ate bread in the year 1882 have died. Many drug users eat bread on a regular basis. In fact, most people who flunked high school also ate bread. Don't mind ...

Bomb Bloke

There is server software floating around, so already anyone can build anything out of the game.

Bomb Bloke

He finished the series. I'm sure he saw all the rants about UX. I think the odds of him making another game are... slim.

Bomb Bloke

Go hide them behind a tree or something.

Bomb Bloke

Is that due to draw distance? The screen shots I saw didn't seem to draw much of an area, much like the 2D version.

Bomb Bloke

Good question concerning the outcome, though. Anyone know what/if questions were asked?

Bomb Bloke

I am confused, however... Um, I may have missed it, but how are the textures converted for the 3D engine? It would be... difficult... to get the software to do it dynamically... (O o)

Bomb Bloke

So barrels take unlimited quantities or something?

What about crates?

Bomb Bloke

I can't imagine anyone using that scoll.

Bomb Bloke

(Which holds more - crates or chests?)

Stupid sword scroll. I spent ages messing with that, and I always was unsure whether the thing should work or not...

I guess they were going to program it in, but didn't get around to it.

Bomb Bloke

True, but you can alos save the folks in Scara Brae without talking to Alganer.

Bomb Bloke

What went wrong in the original?

I had some fairly weird effects happening in Ultima Underword, with too many items in the same place. Double vision, and frequent errors on the scroll...

Bomb Bloke

NPCs use picks on stones which spawn. They turn those stones into rubble, and sometimes gems. I've tried the same thing in the original U7 with no effect, so I just follow mining NPCs and take the gems. Well, I don't, cause I don't need money that bad; but where there be miners, there be gems, and I...

Bomb Bloke

I don't consider it an exploit, more of a glitch. It slows the game down when you and your party are running around, half a dozen goblins are running around, and half your squad are carrying kegs...

As I said, I was just transporting the kegs somewhere else when I got attacked in Monitor.

Bomb Bloke

I stuck this in the bug tracker, along with a bunch of other bugs, but I don't know whether anyone looked at it.

I'm just wondering if it's still possible to attack people with unlimited explosive kegs.

Bomb Bloke

1) Use flux analyser on the black sword.
2) Continue to play the game. Throw the flux analyser away, you don't need it anymore.

Bomb Bloke

You couldn't move chunks in the original.

I only found normal moving to be a little more limiting then in the original, however, the extra freedom only allowed exploitation so that's probably a good thing.

Bomb Bloke

He made me go get that anyway. <:|

Of course, he also said I failed the test... I think. I didn't follow Dupre nor Iolo, and I pressed the nice (as opposed to the naughty) button with Shamino. I think that's a pass.

Bomb Bloke

Uh, press F2 on your keyboard, then the H key, then the ESC key. You may now move ANY item, such as doors.

Press F2 then H then ESC to turn the hack mover off again. Moving walls and stuff around by accident gets annoying quickly.

Bomb Bloke

That's what I said... Skullcrusher mountains.

Bomb Bloke

Redo the test.

Bomb Bloke

My party members never do that. :D Having people drop stuff for 'speed' is logical, even if the game doesn't change their speed for their efforts. That is to say, you could take the feature out, but it would just make the game less interesting. Generally, I only see NPCs drop items when they are sev...

Bomb Bloke

Use the hackmover to move the door out of your way.

That way, even if you can no longer buy the key, you can get past.

Bomb Bloke

What if the weapons were to change hands? Would that work?

Bomb Bloke

Incedently, I think "I don`t think learning Unlock Magic COST money..." was intended?

Bomb Bloke

It's Skullcrusher, by the way.

Don't worry about Arcadian leaving the sword, he was annoying anyway.

Bomb Bloke

The key ring is in the expansion of the game, Silver Seed. If you don't have Silver Seed, you don't have access to the key ring. Talk to people in the Silver Seed area. Use your amulet of balance near a serpent gate to go there... If you've been given it. Speaking of which, in BG, K works like the k...

Bomb Bloke

You can only get the Ring if you have the expansion, Silver Seed.

Kim might have problems with english... But do you think he's opened up enough threads...? 8. Q1) You need the manual to answer the questions, so the answers won't go in the game. Q2) Uh, a door? Look for keys, lockpicks, etc. Otherwise, hit the door. :) Q3) Don't kill NPCs. You cannot complete the ...

Bomb Bloke

That also seems a bit ridiculous. No, scrap that, it IS ridiculous.

Besides, the first click should select the file. I hate that stupid 'web-page mode' that makes all the files open if you so much as look at them... >:(

Bomb Bloke

Er, I think he means that the graphics themselves face the wrong way. ... I think. I'm guessing it was an incomplete feature, partly implemented and then removed, which would explain the picture on the box. I don't remember shields being on it, just pirates and turtles. Of course, the picture could ...

Bomb Bloke

Peeps being slowed down by equipment sounds like a dangerous idea... I mean, say you've got seven people walking around after you, and they can't keep up? Urgh...

Bomb Bloke

That doesn't mean they should be able to justify it.

Bomb Bloke

They would have to throw something like that in there. I was surprised I didn't see much of it in UIX.

Bomb Bloke

There is a ship on the map just north of Serpents Hold. Perhaps pirates spawn on it under BG.... I remember a boat with pirates, but haven't seen it lately. I saw a complete Ultima VII set in a second hand shop once. It showed on the back of the box, a turlte much like the one which takes you to vis...

Bomb Bloke

The peeps in the game said the Gorlab village was there before even the serpent people, however, I'm not sure which NPC said that... :/

Bomb Bloke

The carpet doesn't let you cheat, it just speeds up travel to the point where it's excessive. Concerning carrying gold, what if you used crates? Concerning combat, it seems a very good implementation of a combat system in a game world that doesn't change state. That is to say, you don't change into ...

Bomb Bloke

I often saw the gremlins commenting on the weather in Moonglow... I wondered about that.

Shouldn't just be gold stolen, food too, of course!

I would be more annoyed at losing the gold, myself...

Bomb Bloke

... unless you want to dupe some gold first.

Bomb Bloke

You can break the plot with the carpet. You don't need to join the fellowship. I doubt that was intended by the programmers, given that you needed the manual to join up.

Bomb Bloke

Yeah, well, Origin changed their mind.

the backpacks with all quest items near the end of SI are only reachable via hackmover.

Don't suppose there's a soul cage scroll in there anywhere?

*looks hopeful*

Bomb Bloke

In SI, there's nothing stopping you from going straight to SS and gaining a ton of trainng points (not the mention the items). Many people go there and grab the keyring etc, but leave without finishing it. They don't realise just how easy that place is; even if you do take the time to kill everythin...

Bomb Bloke

Mrm, the idea is to stop peeps from being able to go and get the thing straight out of Trinsic... Money is a good way to achieve that, as collecting 10K takes a while. Getting the deed off the mage for free won't work, as it doesn't take too long to hike to Cove, and if you've got a cart it's a hop-...
