Know what I think would be cool?

[Ken Oh]

If someone made a random dungeon generator that uses Exult studio to make Nethack-esque levels to explore. It could also be hard as hell like Nethack too(alot of traps, hard to find useful items, rare magic items and rare food). ;p

I guess, when I think about it, thing could get really complicated and it could include more real character-driven aspects than just any dungeon crawler. Some sort of design that could assign potential party members or storekeepers or just people with issues.

I guess I'll just keep dreaming.

That and multi-map support would be cool.

[SB-X]

There's already multi-map support.

[MV]

Ah cool, it's in.

Is there anyone working on making serpent isle multi mapped so you can travel the world on boat/carpet?

I think that was the point of multimap to begin with wasn't it?

[SB-X]

I thought multimap was for new games. Converting the existing world is a lot of work... or is it?

[Dominus]

Converting SI would be tremendous piece of work. Every teleporter needs to be checked and "reprogrammed" and its counterpiece must be "reprogrammed" as well. It's not an easy task and prone to mess up the plot.
"damn! just went down these stairs and suddenly I'm in the middle of the ocean."

Of course, someone is welcome to try...

Something I've thought would be cool, but may never have time for: Use Exult to run Ultima4, using the U4 data files (which I believe are fairly well-documented).

[Dominus]

yeah my big project I've never even got more than a foot in.

[Mel C.]

I've been dreaming of the day when someone would make a U7 style version of U4. U4 is basically unplayable on my system, even with the newly modified versions.

[Gunnar]

Mel C : Did you try xU4

[Dominus]

and dosbox is also always an option.

[Soule]

There's multimaps already! Wow! Studio is progressing damn fast and well.
I am still surprised no one loves Studio enough to take the mantle to make some games..haha

How do I then combine the two maps (not game) of Ultima 7 together? Create a teleportal egg?

[Dominus]

yup teleportal egg. But just slapping the SI map onto BG or the other way round is asking for trouble.

[Mel C.]

Yes, I did try that, and couldn't get it to work

[Soule]

Hmm.. how do you create a teleportal egg that transports to another map?

[Dominus]

With Exult Studio and the egg-dialog.

[Soule]

Hmm what i meant was what options should I use inside?
eg. should I use the path egg? and then the teleport egg to teleport to the assigned path?

Apparently that does not work since the egg has some distance limit?

So how do I input the options to teleport to another map?

[wjp]

You need to create an 'intermap' egg.

[Soule]

Thanks.. I found it.
