Ultima 6 v1.2 is here!

A ton of updates in this version, now installable via the Exult download at https://www.exult.info/download.php or

The game now starts with the original gypsy intro – each virtue question will give you the correct attributes as in the original that will affect your starting stats. Combat and Magic will be determined based on your Dex and Int stats, using the ‘rubber band’ formula used for trainers. The intro beyond that has some tweaks to make it look nicer. You can now train magic points with Thariand of Moonglow, in the lycaeum. Some small graphical tweaks such as a younger looking Iolo paper-doll. Dr Yazman aka Ideal Dragon has been awesome enough to make a new sprite for Leodon in Buccaneers Den and will be providing some stuff for the new Ultima 2 mod we are working on. You can check out his twitch stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/dryazman, he often livestreams his graphic creations and it is pretty interesting!

Fixed a ton of bugs in this version – no more duplicate Humility runes, Nicodemus now sells the Invisibility All spell. Dale in Minoc’s gem selling thread is fixed, and you should be able to sell back items to blacksmiths who also sell those items. Bees now have the proper equipment record (at some point a glitch caused the quality to change to 8). You should be able to sell all items back to blacksmiths that also sell those items themselves. Some tweaks to the Michael / Quenton quest to prevent certain hangups. Note – the raft isn’t meant for ocean travel and will break apart if you venture out too far! It will also only hold a certain amount of people. Don’t park a boat on the docks or anything that will disrupt the cutscene or it will delete / fail to trigger.

Also in this version I have included the usecode source, cleaned up as good as I can get it. If you are planning on making translations for other languages, let me know so I can get it included into future versions, or if you need help with anything! A side note – my Facebook page was deleted, and could not get an appeal. Not sure what happened there, so the U6 Facebook page will probably cease to exist soon. I plan on making a discord for U6 and then the U2 mod which we are currently working on, so people can keep track of the progress and report issues / bugs / suggestions for U6. I will let everyone know when I have those up and there will probably be a website for the Ultima 2 project as well.
