  1. Ultima NUVIE: Ultima 6 in full screen!

    Nuvie can load the DOS saves, but DOS cannot load Nuvie saves.

  2. Ultima NUVIE: Ultima 6 in full screen!

    Use the daily build snapshot, download the tileset Dominus edited, and save it to nuvie's data folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Ultima6\data\images\tiles\U6". The tileset alters the color of dungeons and outdoor reddish mud to a dusty, sand colored look. Graves and farmland still...

  3. Ultima NUVIE: Ultima 6 in full screen!

    Dominus wanted to have brown mud. A quick look at the code looks like it is just one image file. I don't see any palette cycling in the fire or water either. I'll try and see if he will fix the cycling and implement a separate bmp for each shape number instead.

  4. Wizardry The Wizardry Series Thread

    In Wizardry 7, mana regeneration is determined at character creation by your class, race, and stats. It will not change afterwards. You get +1 to all 6 mana regeneration rates if pie*2+vit = 42-50 and +2 if pie*2+vit > 50 at creation. You can download Cosmic Forge and have it increase resting speed.

  5. Ultima The Ultima Series Discussion Thread

    Definitely use Nuvie (snapshot download) when playing U6.

  6. The RPG Scrollbars: Richard Cobbett's weekly RPG column

    It is not possible to use the bloody bucket on flour in the original game engine. It would have only taken him a minute to fact check that with DOSBox.

  7. Wizardry The Wizardry Series Thread

    There is a modded DOSBox version that has automap support for W6 and W7 (along with the pc speaker fix).

  8. Gold Box SSI's Gold Box Series Thread

    Here one of Simeon's blog post with an index of more Gold Box games.

    Jaeson weapon restrictions are on page 19. Early D&D had terrible layouts. The list is stupid and takes up about the same amount of room as the flavor text. Unearthed Arcana added the staff sling as a usable weapon (page 13).

  10. Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

    Baldur's Gate cheated and had whole set of stats instead of rolling for each stat and the totals were normalized within a few points of each other. Wizardry games are brutal with their variability and made you redo the entire character creation in order to reroll. Classes you can play in both...

  11. Gold Box SSI's Gold Box Series Thread

    Clerics can use slings in 1st and 2nd edition. 1st edition says forbidden to use edged or pointed weapons which shed blood. Sling stones and bullets are listed as bludgeoning in 2nd edition . A lot of types have a blunt edge but spherical or oval certainly exist. The optional weapon list in 2nd...

    I really wish it wasn't in Unity.

  13. Ultima NUVIE: Ultima 6 in full screen!

    Someone should tell him he can right click to reverse through the menu settings. The speech is really horrible and they talk really fast to save file size. I really hope Eric gets back to working on Nuvie soon. I thought he would be back after the SMS Power competition but that ended awhile ago.

  14. Gold Box SSI's Gold Box Series Thread

    Rings of protection aren't supposed to add to armor class when you wear magical armor. It should still give the save bonus. In the engine, I'm not sure if the item with the higher plus, of magical armor or rings of protection, count for AC or just the magical armor. You could test it out by...

    Wow. That is a terrible picture of Chris Avellone. Someone should tweet the picture to him.
