Ranman, could you re-post some of your Ultima V screenshots? It doesn't matter if they're older ones, what with the forum change they got lost.
- Alex
Okay... Thanks for the reminder.
Here are the screenshots:

It is amazing how you are keeping it exactly like the original in the graphics department! I hope you will be able to finish this and hope everything is good at the home front.

Thanks Kalan!
Not too much progress as of late... too busy with life stuff.
But... I have a tonsillectomy this Tuesday. I will be out of work for at least a week. Can you say "prime programming time?"
Hmmm... I'm a poet and didn't know it. :lol:

I hear this can be a very long and painful recovery.

Well if it's anything like gettint your wisdom teeth taken out...which it really isn't
, then I would think you would recover quickly
. I got mine taken out (3 wisdom teeth, the fourth will not ever grow), and I was fine the next day and I even ate pizza within the 24hours of the operation
...I only took the pain pills the first 12 hours, and stoped after that as I was getting really depressed and I don't like not being in control over my body >.<...Anywho, good luck!

THE POST 4470076
Today I got back to work on the shoppe talk. It feels good to back into the thick of things.
I also figured out how I am going to allow the main character (that is you) to sell the items he picks up along the way. In the original, you were allowed to sell any weapons, armor, helmets, amulets, and rings at any armoury shoppe. It was easy to implement because everything was command line driven. For TI calcs, U5 is menu driven, which would make selling hard to implement -- and require more memory than I have to spare.
So, I have decided to restrict the selling of the above stated items to the armouries that also have the same items for purchase. Hence, if the shoppe owner has a dagger for sale, he will also buy a dagger from you. Not a big enough difference to worry about.
Wow... that decision probably just saved me 5Kb of RAM and from writing a completely new menu system just for selling -- not worth it.

Nice to see your project progressing
Hm, seems like I don't understand your problem... if you would sell s.th. at a shop in the original game, would you be able to buy it back (even if it isn't in originally offered of the shop)?
If not, why don't you just set a selling value for each item, let's say 70% of the original price?

In the original U5, each shoppe had 7 different items up for sale -- this does not change. However, the shoppes could buy anything from you. For example: if you sold a short sword to a shoppe that did not already offer it for sale, then it would not be added to its list of items to sell.
This was a problem for me because I was going to need to code a new special interface just to select and sell the item to the shoppe.

i think you made a good decision! It's more realistic to go around to different shops to find one that'll buy your item!
glad to see it's still progressing, so how much do u think is done?

Well, don't you need an interface for selling items as you realized it, too? Or can you select an item in the shop's item list and choose whether to buy or to sell it?

Yes... I do need one. But, if I make it identical to the selling list, then I can use the same menu interface.
There are over 50 items you can sell to the shoppes. 50 items would mean a menu system with multiple pages of items. o.o

I agree. It will increase the difficulty of the game while making it more realistic. Still at 75%. Maybe 75.3%
