Text font?

[Dohanin]

I'm wondering if there is any font replacement for Exult. I mean those text of speech. I always find it difficult to read since Ultima 7. That's why I like to play Ultima 5 and 6 more.

It's possible to do. Search the forum for a previous discussion on this.

[Dohanin]

Thanks. I could find a few threads regarding this. But it seems that I would have to use Studio to do some manual works. Well, I wish I could have time for this but if possible, is there any ready-made patches available?

[Dominus]

nope

[artaxerxes]

actually there is!

I've made one but have a look at it first (there too).

Artaxeres, it is cool. How could I get a copy?

Thanks in advance.

[Ingmar]

I think it's nice too. Would also be interested in a copy.

[artaxerxes]

I'll post the font somewhere on the web and I'll come back here to inform you of it.

There is however a little issue: you'll have to install it yourself since I cannot distribute the whole file (just the part I made). Consequently, you'll have to get a hand on "expack" (from the tool package).

I'll include the steps to follow in a readme along with the font.

Is the new font goind to be in the next release?

[wjp]

Probably not. It might be a nice idea for after Exult 1.2 to add some custom fonts.

Speaking of custom fonts: a little teaser

Niiiice Now -that- font got a bit tricky to read sometimes.

That Devon. Tsk.

Curious, has anyone used any of the 'techniques' to kill Devon as listed on the It-He site?

I haven't been able to get my copy to work in years, so I've never had a chance to 'try them out'.

DrakeSea:

You can kill any of the 'immortal' characters (Mordea, Devon, etc.) by attacking them and then running off before they can do you in. When you return they will still attack you, but without using any lethal spells. Now maneuver the character of your choosing onto any movable object extending over water or lava (best prepare this beforehand). Once the character is precariously suspended above the sultry plane, chuck the object into the liquid. This should result in the character's demise.

Remember, though, that you need to remain on the same map in order for this to work.

*grins.* I especially like your choosing of words, such as 'precariously', 'sultry', and 'map'.

I should really get my copy running somehow.

That of course will not work for Devon. The water will not let Devon die.
