No, but you can get picked up for underage drinking (assuming you're <21). Well, I've run into some weird errors, something extremely simple that just plain should work- but doesn't. It's driving me crazy! :ihatemycomp: <- Substitute a calc for that. Me->

Very nice looking Dragon_Lance!!! Unless absolutely necessary, try not store duplicate map info. When you load the new map, are you loading over modified tiles? You could keep some sort of history collumn or row. And use the previous direction movement to store and restore the applicable collumn or row of map data when changing maps. Keep up the good work. Very impressive :ru13z:  1233

Ultima V is a non linear turn based RPG.
Some of the main goals are: - stay alive!! (buy food, stay healthy, and sleep) - explore a huge world!! - use your money wisely (remember where the bargains are) - do not steal (unless absolutely necessary) - talk to NPCs to get clues on what to do - find useful special items - find all of the King's personal items - kill monsters for experience and treasure - complete all 8 Shrine quests - kill all 3 Shadowlords - reach level 8 (6400 experience points) - rescue your King, Lord British You can do these in any order you wish (except of course the last one). 1234

I have decided to go ahead with the original implementation for mixing spells.
Thanks for your input.

ASCII graphics is an art class all by itself!
It is still refreshing to see this art style applied today. Keep up the good work! :thumb:

Looks very nice. Your main character reminds me of Gateway to Apshai for the C64. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I like turn-based RPGs more than real time... I need time to think about my moves. Keep up the good work 1239
Miscellaneous / An official apology« on: November 09, 2005, 01:02:00 pm »
Some people say that it takes "big" person to apologize (or admit he made a mistake). I am glad you stepped up to the plate Alex. I would hope that everyone follows your lead.
Hopefully, we all can use this as a learning experience. 1241

That is what I was trying to minimize... the need to write down spell combinations. Oooohhh... :woot:  I just had an idea... I could suggest pasting a magic spell look-up table inside the calculator cover. Does everyone carry their cover with them? Anyway, Ultima V will almost definitely require the user to write down clues from talking to NPCs. So, I guess a look-up table for spells would be trivial. QuoteBegin-dragon__lance+ 8 November 2005, 16:20
It would be cool, but hard to do. How many different combinations of 8 reagents exist... O_O 1242

Let me give an example of mixing a spell on the PC version of Ultim V. For this example, lets create a wall of fire "In Flam Grav" which requires pearl, ash, silk.
Press [M] to mix U5 will now ask what spell. Press for "In" Press [F] for "Flam" Press [G] for "Grav" U5 will now ask for the reagents. Press [P] for "Pearl" Press [A] for "Ash" Press U5 will now ask for the quantity of spells to mix. Press [5] for five spells Press [M] to complete the spell mixture This "could" be a lot to remember, if you forgot your spell chart. 1243

That's 2 votes for the mixing chart. Anyone else? 1245

It is pretty complex... well, for 1988 it is complex. Magic will have some rudimentary animation like: varrying screen colors, jittery screen, and flying projectiles. Considering the "... allow a lot of possibilities..." CDI and I have been discussing this somewhat. If I just go with a simple menu spell selection, then the reagents could be mixed automatically (if you have the correct reagents) and quickly. If I go with a mixing chart... that means more keystrokes, more possibilites, but closer to the original. Does anyone else have an opinion? |
