Ultima V Update:

- 'Yell' command is now working. In certain situations your avatar will need to speak some words very loudly. I cannot say too much except that this command is integral to completing Ultima V. :ph43r:

How do you know what to say? Well... you need to ask the other NPCs.

I am deviating slightly from the original game with this command. In the original Ultima V, you also used the 'Yell' command to "furl sails" and "unfurl sails" on your frigate. This will be done automatically upon boarding and exiting the frigate. No big deal.

ROFL!

TI-City uses a manual command interface, where you type in the wanted function... I just don't know if I would need Yell, except to bring enemies down upon you...

Very funny Kevin :laugh:

If you look at the original list of Ultima V commands, you will notice there is 24 commands and each command has its own starting letter.

So, if you wanted to "Enter" a town, you pressed "E". If you wanted to "Cast" a spell you pressed "C". However, they had to get clever with a few commands like "X" for X-it, "K" for Klimb (climb), and "Z" for Z-Stats; I guess they ran out of good synonyms.

I think "Yell" was one of the clever cases. where "S" was already used to search so they could not use "S" to "Speak".

Wow this command system seems very cool, I wish someone would port this to 83+.

Ultima V Update:

QuoteBegin-The Ultima V Book of Lore+

QUOTE (The Ultima V Book of Lore)

Many tales are told of knights traveling from towne to towne, even across water, merely stepping into a wall of light. There are few verifiable reports of moongate travel. However, sifting through those reports that are verifiable, it has become clear that they operate as follows.

Each night at the apex of the first moon, Trammel, the eight moongates appear, rectangles of shimmering blue light rising from the ground. They remain until Felucca reaches her apex. While the moongates are open, a traveler entering one will instantly be transported to another moongate in a different locale.

The traveler's destination is determined by the phase of the moon closest to midheaven. Moongate travel is said to be fast and safe; however, there have been confusing and conflicting reports of what transpires when the moons are equidistant in the midheaven. Moongate travelers should exercise caution.

Alas... After some painful rework :dang:

the rumored moongate travel is working! :woot:

Another good reason to pay close attention to the time of day and the heavenly bodies (moons) orbiting Britannia.

Happy New Year!

Yes... but they work based on the phases of the 2 moons. Hence, the name moongates.

The rise and fall of the moongate sprite is unique and has its own animation algorithm. This fact caused me to rework and "tweak" my tile animation and drawing functions. Pain in the butt!

There are a total of 8 moongates sprinkled thoughout the world of Britannia.

There are other things you can do with these moongates too... But I'm not telling... Spoilers :ph43r:

Yeah, like in Zelda:Majora's Mask (sp??). Btw, it looks nice, it would be cool if someone would port to the 83, but it would take up alot of memory.

This game is so gonna kick ass...

I can't wait to play it!

On a side note, I found a copy of Ultima Exodus for the NES, I am gonna see how good it is...

@BCTurk: I bet it'd be possible except the graphics wouldn't be even close to as good. It'd be one huge undertaking, though.

There is an 8th circle non-combat magic spell called "Vas Rel Por" that will summon a moongate on demand.

Thanks BCTurk! Well... The original Ultima V required over 1Mb of disk space. I have managed to trim that to 550Kb. Then I compress it down to about 210Kb. It could possibly be done for an 83+ but some unnecessary details would need to be removed.

This definitely is the most complex and ellaborate calculator game yet! Since I can't wait for it, I got Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar for SMS. It's fairly complex and hard to get the hang of, but maybe that's cause I started it at 2 am. I also got Ultima 1 to 6 for C64, are those better than the NES conversions? (yay for GP32

)
