@ROUS: Well you know what that came from- The Princess Bride. One of the most excellent movies/books ever to be created. :Dbiggrin.gif If you haven't seen it, GO RENT IT!

rodents of unusual size...

Ranman is usually only on irc for about an hour at a time it seems, so you prolly just missed him. I think I remember him being on #tifreakware the other day. :oohmy.gif I don't believe you were online at the time though. But yeah, he just doesn't stay on for very long so it would be hard to catch him. :)smile.gif I been having the same problem with JavaMan these days- he's just never on at the same times I am. :Ptongue.gif

Is it time to sleep? Well, hole up and camp for the night.

Taking time to sleep in Ultima V is critical to winning the game -- hint, hint.  :ninja:ninja.gif

It's also good for refeshing the party's stats. ;)wink.gif

Very cool...

Since it has the whoe "Who will stand guard" question, does that mean that you can be attacked while you are sleeping??

 Yes you can!

And if you don't have anyone standing guard (to wake everyone up), the enemies will get a free attack until you wake up -- not a good situation to be in! ;)wink.gif

 I know, it's like a seriously hardcore rpg.  I should try to make something similar in the future based off of D&D.

New screenshot...

You will see a better version of the "Hole Up" and camp command. Time now properly increments at an accellerated pace as you sleep -- watch the suns and moons. When you wake up, you will have to walk off the camping map to exit -- like the original.

You will also see the use of a pocket watch, a sextant, and a torch.

You will also see that fleeing combat now works properly. You can also see an example of the automatic and the "on demand" camera panning capabilities.

And last but not least... a little bit of moongate travel. Notice that the moongate emits it own soft glowing light.

Enjoy! :)smile.gif

 The C64 has 2 graphics modes.

- 320x200 pixel resolution, 2 color limit inside of an 8x8 pixel card
- 160x200 pixel resolution, 4 color limit inside of an 8x8 pixel card

Ultima V on the C64 uses mode #1, so the pixel resolution is higher, but the color density is lower.

TI - 11x11 pixels tiles, 4 colors
C64 - 16x16 pixels tiles, 2 colors
PC - 16x16 pixels tiles, 256 colors or 4 colors (depending in video card)

I'm not sure about the NES.
