You could always run the dialog through text to speech. Although you'd have to create different voices for the hundreds of characters as well as a pronunciation guide for all the bizarre terms used. And, the option would only be available for those with text to speech capable computers.

Guru Dragon

Would there be a way to make something like a log of the Avatar's conversations? It doesn't need to go back forever, maybe just something like the past 25 people spoken to. I've seen this in several other RPGs and they come in handy when you're trying to remember what so-and-so said about a sub-ques...

Guru Dragon

Sorry about that, I'm still a beginner to the Exult engine and I'm not sure when something should be discussed versus added as a bug. The bug report has been made.

Guru Dragon

I'd like to reopen this problem with the Helm of Light causing flickering, as it still occurs in 1.4.0.5. I'm thankful I'm not epileptic.

Guru Dragon

Ah yes, I was running the stable release. I upgraded to 1.4 and now it work properly. Thank you very much, and good work!

Guru Dragon

Okay, I created the patch directory and you did indeed fix the number on the signs. Good work!

However, the menu font is now totally blank, and causes the game to crash! Maybe another tweak, and it'll be fixed?

Guru Dragon

Is there anyway to get him back to Monitor? I've had him follow me all the way through the dungeon, but once he gets to the stairway he won't go down it with me. Is he not following because the stairway is actually a teleporter?

Guru Dragon

If I recall, don't all pieces of magic armor have a weight of only 1 stone? Though, I forget how much swamp boots and leather boots weight, but if it's more than one stone, at least that's something.

Guru Dragon

Where is the patch directory? I looked all through the Exult folder, but I couldn't find one. I tried making a folder called ".\Exult\patch" and dumping the file in there, but it didn't have any effect.

Guru Dragon

I see, so it's the actual SI data that's messed up. Would it be possible to patch it when Exult is installed? I don't know how hard it is to adjust the X offset of the blitter. Although, you could also fix it by removing a column of pixels from the graphic. Does Exult patch any of the data, or is th...

Guru Dragon

The room numbers in the plaques in the Sleeping Bull are a little off. I looks like the right-side column of pixels is the left-side column of the next number.

Guru Dragon

Okay, he is healing, just at a much slower rate than the other companions. Also, I've noticed that sometimes Shamino will be at full health, and then suddenly drop a little, though nothing hit him. Weird.

Guru Dragon

I'm in Monitor in SI and I've been killing Trolls to level up for the Knights Challenge, but for some reason Dupre isn't healing like normal. He'll heal up to 9 HP and then stop and never go higher. He has more HP because his health gauge doesn't get more than halfway. But myself and Shamino heal ju...

Guru Dragon

In SI, the entrance of a cave is illuminated even when it's night. It's as though someone flicks a light switch every time you reach a cave entrance. I don't remember the original behaving like this.

Guru Dragon

I always thought that the crucifixions were called "reeds" due to censorship; which I thought was odd in a game with such adult themes. I'm pleased to learn that Origin didn't censor themselves (ahh the good old days before the ESRB). Somebody should label them properly.

Guru Dragon

I especially love how the crucified bodies are referred to as "reeds".

Guru Dragon

Thank you very much bringing these fonts to my attention, I look forward to adding them. I was pretty sure that OSI didn't create the Ultima title font. They used it on the box art of Ultima 1 back in 1981 and I highly doubt they had the funds to create a unique typeset when they were still basicall...

Guru Dragon

I've been adding to my Game Font Database for awhile now, and I think it's a testament the Ultima series to know that it has more fan-made fonts created for it than any other game series. The full list can be seen here: http://www.thealmightyguru.com/GameFonts/Series-Ultima.html I'm curious if anyon...

Guru Dragon

I was hoping that you guys would propose this eventually. I'd love to help out with creating new high-res graphics for the game as well.

Guru Dragon

Indeed. I'd rather destroy EA's logo instead of the Black Gate.

Guru Dragon

Mini games? Yes There is a house of games (AKA casino) with some simple betting games. Knight's Bridge by the Abbey. And of course Chuckle's "game". Also, there are a massive amount of side quests which can be considered "games". Building? Not really. You can stack items and make...

Guru Dragon

Thank you very much, you've been a big help!

Guru Dragon

I've been listening to the Black Gate music, and I'm trying to remember when each song is played. I've figured them all out except three. If you have the vorbis music pack these are the ones I can't figure out: 13b.ogg 14b.ogg 34b.ogg 13 and 14 are just little jingles that I can't remember ever hear...

Guru Dragon

Check your URL, I got a 404-like page.

Guru Dragon

Thank you.

I think I meant Shrine of Spirituality instead of Sacrifice, but you knew what I meant.

So did they just leave out the music trigger? Does anyone know if the music is played anywhere else in the game?

Guru Dragon

In the Ultima music files there are 7 songs dedicated to the shrines. Normally there would be 8, but due to to the nature of the shrine of sacrifice there isn't any music. However, if you visit the shrine of humility on the Isle of the Avatar, it doesn't have any music playing either. All the other ...

Guru Dragon

Thank you for the link, but it's not the MP3s that I want. Although his MP3's are really nice to listen to, because they're encoded in a lossy codec and impossible to reproduce they aren't much use to me. What I'm looking for is a way to record them myself using my own Roland, so I need them in a MI...

Guru Dragon

Ultima 7 allows for very nice interaction in the game. There are three "jobs" in Britannia that I know about. You can sell beef to the castle's cook and you can also gather eggs for Mack the farmer, and someone else wants you to move pumpkins. There is ship ownership. You buy a deed from a...

Guru Dragon

Okay, I spoke with Tom and he did indeed have all the ripped soundtracks! So I'm off to a good start (thanks for the tip).

I still have a few questions regarding the XMI music for the ending. Does anyone on the Exult team still have Simon Quinn's email address?

Guru Dragon

It's a shame he used XMI2MID. Winamp can play XMI and it supports USB MIDI devices (to a MT-32). Do you know how I can contact Simon Quinn to ask him how he did it?

I've sent the web site's creator (Tom) an email. Hopefully he can give me some insight as well.

Guru Dragon

I assume from your usage of the word "hack" that there is no simple way to convert the Ultima 6 Adlib music into any MIDI flavor (MID, XMI, RMI, etc.). Even though the Adlib was the dominant soundcard of the time I would still prefer to record from the MT-32 in order to get the highest qua...

Guru Dragon

Thank you for the help. I finally got around to actually unflexing the Roland music files from the MT32MUS.DAT file. I noticed that the Ultima music collection has 61 files of music, but I was only able to pull 54 files from the MT32MUS.DAT file that had data in them. Does anyone know where the miss...

Guru Dragon

I'm trying to play the music of Ultima 6 with my Roland MT-32. However, the only way I've found to play the *.M files is through AdPlug. Unfortunatly, AdPlug doesn't support playing music through my USB MIDI device, thus no Roland MT-32 quality. I checked the source of AdPlug (http://adplug.cvs.sour...

Guru Dragon

I noticed that the Exult team recorded U7's music using a Roland MT-32 for the Vorbis files. I'm curious if they just recorded it while the game was running, or did they actually rip the music from the game files, and the sysex data and record it through a MIDI player. If they did rip the music, is ...

Guru Dragon

Thank you very much.

Guru Dragon

I've looked in the meta tags and on this site, but I can't find out who composed the Exult title music. Was it created just for Exult, or was it borrowed from another project?

Guru Dragon

Thank you Colourless, that's what I wanted to know. I appreciate the in depth response.

Guru Dragon

I'm trying to record some MIDI style music into it's proper sounding format through the use of the Roland MT-32 in much the same way the Exult team has recorded Ultima's music into Vorbis. Since I have never done this before I have a few questions about it. 1.) Do I need an older PC or can I do it w...

Guru Dragon

Well I just made it through the Black Gate again (first time with exult). I started a week or so ago, and just played it through all the way. I'm so pleased that the Exult team has come so far on this game. Throughout the entire game I only had two major issues, but neither of them would break the p...

Guru Dragon

I used the fishing rod in Exult and it worked. I'm assuming this was added.

Also, I don't ever remember seeing fish swiming in the lakes in BG. Was this added to Exult as well or are the harmful ether waves affecting me?

Guru Dragon

I don't remember ever being able to make anything other than plain bread. The fishing rod didn't work for food. I spent a great number of times trying it, but all you ever get a clever messages like "I felt a tug" or "It got away". I don't remember ever getting the sword creation...

Guru Dragon

In Ultima 6 there was a simple way to go in and out of solo mode. In U7, you have to speak with every party member and tell them to leave, and then have them all join again. Is there any possibility of seeing a solo mode feature in Exult? It would certainly help with things like stealing, the tetrah...
