NVM, we've started rewriting all the scripts manually.

Hi there! I was wondering, what is the current state of usecode decompilation/compilation in Exult? I remember back in 2006 when we were working on translating Black Gate into Russian we were able to decompile the usecode using UCXT, edit some scripts and then compile everything using UCC plus some ...

Um, the Russian version works fine - just tested on DesireHD. Make sure you do a manual install of the translated files into the Static folder. The automated installer won't work with the Android port, of course.

Noname, the Guardian reaching out from the Black Gate is in the original game, the final scene.

Yeah, I used both versions of the video for completeness and variety. Loubet's doesn't have the "passage through ice" shot.

Thank you for the comments! I think I'm going to rework the trailers sometime soon, maybe create an "Exult edition" - in English and with Exult website promo link instead of our site. I would love to redo in-game footage for the BG trailer, however I haven't been able to grab video from Ex...

Hey, Wolf. We've finished the Russian translation of U7BG (thanks for the tool, DK) so we can answer some of your questions. 1. We used U7Editor for translation, so most of the time there was no need to use other tools. 2. If we remember correctly, some of the files in the mainshp.flx archive when u...

This issue has been solved. It turned out that the intro-endgame fonts were stored in the flx files, so we just had to draw the new fonts specially for intro and endgame sequences. So the translation is complete now, thank you.

We're proud to report that the Russian translation of the great "Ultima 7: The Black Gate" game is complete!

Thank you for your help and support!

Did this update include the 127+ character fix? It still doesn't seem to work.

Nice lipsync, by the way.

Hello again.

We've just found out that the characters above 127 are not displayed during intro and endgame sequences. Would it be possible to fix that as well?

Oh dear... Just decompiling the script and recompiling it again helped.

Thanks!

Just tried that. The game still hangs...

Here's what I tried to do. After I first discovered that the script breaks the puzzle, I took the original usecode, extracted the 0334 script from it, changed all "abrt()" commands to "abort" and immediately recompiled the script, not trying to change anything else in it. Then I ...

Hmm. After I make the aforementioned changes, the #0334 script compiles, but it breaks Penumbra's plaque puzzle. Placing the hammer near the plaque hangs up the game. What might be the cause?

First of all, thanks for the char fix! The names have been translated. Second, thanks for the trainer functions compiling tips - the editing process is about to begin. But there's also a third issue that we need help with. As you all know, much of Britannia's charm comes from the runic font used in ...

Thank you! ^_^

Concerning the first problem: wjp: Taking into account the fact that the c = 127 range so that we could use it? Should there be reports of it causing problems (which I doubt), you could bring that restriction back. Or, DrCode's suggestion would be a perfect solution if that's not too hard to impleme...

wjp: I'm not too good at all that technical stuff, but I wonder, what harm would it cause to allow higher-ASCII characters to be displayed on screen? As far as I know, there were only two versions of the original U7 game: 3.0 and 3.4. Maybe 3.0 had some problems with the extended characters, but I'm...

Greetings, comrades! We are a team of translators currently working on bringing the magic of Ultima 7 to Mother Russia. And we are in a desperate need of help. Basically, the translation is finished. Only two major problems remain. We've tried getting some advice on the IRC channel, but due to the l...
