That last video, what the fuck am I looking at here?

I guess this is a playthrough on the remastered but this guy sure as hell makes enough damn alts that takes like 30 minutes.

Ultima II fixes I overlooked

 

[Puukko]

I noticed the NES remasters:

Go on...

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

The real Minax.

 

[Comte]

Hey what happened to the guy making that ultima v isometric remake?

 

[Cambragol]

I think the Ultima 4 project is a little more interesting.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Speaking of Ultima IV ONLINE

I'm kind of interested in the software that looks like a construction set

RUM Editor

 

[BlackGoat]

Freal. Ultima Maker when?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I always hoped ACKS would get redone. Hey Dude Where's My Avatar was pretty good.

Old Trinity was in that and... the Gameboy Remake of Ultima III had some surprises.

I think that's the bugfixed one as in one version there was an error and you couldn't complete part 2. I know through our email excgange he fixed it. Part two makes the original look like a cakewalk.

Freal. Ultima Maker when?

I saw the link to the site HERE

I don't know if RUM is in those downloads though.





Damn pity it it didn't include U5 and akalabeth. Hell, I'd take a u6-9 in a similar format as well.

 

[Cambragol]

That RUM editor looks very cool. Must be for that Ultima IV online game that was released years ago. I think I have the source for that somewhere, but never looked at it too deeply, or checked out its editor. It was released at some point as open source, then promptly disappeared.

How about the Ultima IV Randomizer?

https://github.com/Fenyx4/U4DosRandomizer/releases

It can even generate 'cloth maps' of the randomized world map:

 

[Tweed]

Now if Ultima IV were actually fun to play...

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

He had another old project as well:


And I see this vid now:

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I can't find the old hexmapper map since that site is gone but U4 has been thought about for pnp

Ultima & White Box

Ultimore: A World Divided
Originally released for the Apple II in early 1985 'Ultimore: A World Divided' was an unofficial expansion to Ultima III: Exodus created by Joel Fenton.

Joel placed adverts in various computer magazines and sold expansions for both Ultima III and the original Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.

Over time these scenarios were lost. In recent years 'Ultimore: A World Divided' and 'Ultimore: Egypt' have been re-discovered, they are however in the Apple II format.

Now Daemon Master and Lord Ponsonby bring 'Ultimore: A World Divided' to the IBM PC for the very first time! No longer must you tackle Apple II emulators (or hardware), instead you can enjoy this classic scenario simply using the GOG version of Ultima III, with or without enhanced visuals and sound.

For further read on what Ultimore is check out my website - https://daemonmaster.com

IMPORTANT: This scenario requires the later 'Trilogy Edition' of Ultima III: Exodus (150 starting Food and Life) and not the earlier stand-alone release (100 starting Food and Life). The GOG version of the game is the later 'Trilogy Edition' and works fine. You can find it here - https://af.gog.com/game/ultima_1_2_3?as=1649904300

Installation instructions can be found in the included download, but in short, back up your original installation and copy the files from this archive into your install directory.

DONATIONS: Are not required or expected, however Lord Ponsonby spent many hours creating the UltiExo map editor for me so that I could in turn spend many hours hand crafting all of Joel's original maps. Many hours went into producing this scenario which we hope you will enjoy. If you enjoyed this scenario, eh, maybe throw us a few dollars for a coffee.

LEGAL: The 'Ultima' series of games, and the Ultima title are property of Electronic Arts. While only a mod in and of itself, it's important to acknowledge Joel Fenton as the original creator of the 'Ultimore: A World Divided' scenario.

BUGS: Found a bug? Let me know in the comments. I've played through the scenario in its entirety twice and I think I got them all, but please let me know if you find something I missed. Joel's original scenario did include some spelling and grammar errors, I've left them intact intentionally.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Oh that is nice. There's still hope that the rest of the modules will be discovered. Very nice indeed.

 

[Cambragol]

I believe Ultimore:Egypt is also available:

https://ultima3.ultimacodex.com/ultimore/

Though, only the original Apple II disk image.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

"Not content with just creating one alternative scenario, there were 5 of these in all: as per Pix's Page

1. A Divided World (Found & Converted)
2. Pirate World
3. Spaceship Crash
4. Egypt (Found)
5. Rule Of The Slave Lords

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Anyway, I decided I want to try the Mac Ultima 3 (both the original & Lairware.... i bought the code for fullgame ages ago but the emulation fucked me up so bad I gave up. Seems maybe this new one might be simple: macintosh.js

Watch me be fucked again because of js.

 

[Cambragol]

I've given that a shot a while back. I find all the old black and white mac games quaint. Ultima III was no exception.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Of course this didn't work. And this vid is fucking with me.


Then I accidentally associated a .sit file with explorer and now all .sit files are fucked. Gay

eh.. I DL'd Stuffit expander and associated the files with it. Just drag and drop and bam Img file.

And now I'm looking at this vid:


jesus fuck i want to hulk smash every computer now!

 

[Cambragol]

mini VMac is what I use. Great program. Though I use it on mac. You can build your own version as well.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

All I want to do is run this program:

Got a message back:

IS THE RUM CONSTRUCTION SET IN THE DOWNLOADS?:

"
> Is the construction set packaged in the downloads section here? It looks pretty cool.

The whole thing used to be open source, but when bitbucket took it all down, I decided to maybe turn it into something bigger. I haven't decided whether or not I'll go open source with that again as I might use it to create my own game. I'll hopefully have an official CUO server running again in the next few months with lots of improvements and bug fixes. That all depends on how much free time I can manage though, which hasn't been much lately. Ideally, I could kickstart this and and work on it full time but I just don't think the interest is there.
Thanks,

Johnny"
