I am still working on implementing the Shoppe talk and buy & sell algorithms. This will take a while. It is proving to be very tedious work.

I may be able to help with this. I tend to have an uncanny way of seeing things like this.

. Sounds great, and coding the shoppes does prove to be tedious work but always pays off!

Technically you pay them.

Do you mean funny?

EDIT: does the bold "n" look smaller than the normal "n"?

Thanks TK, I thought it was aboious...

Btw the N is the same, but it's the way it's perceived it looks smaller.

Hello !

Any news for Ultima ?

Yes, I am sad to report that Ranman and his calculator were overrun by a crowd of angry pigs. From what we've been able to gather the pigs got extremely violent after being slaughtered by Ranman various times with a number of Commodore 64 games.
The code has not been found yet but we keep looking.
Thread hijack!

And now seriously; I can't help you with news, but I can help with semi usefull posts :woot:

. And coding a shop can be annoying, at least for me it felt pretty hard to get a somewhat efficient program. I'm convinced Ranman is up for it, though.

Thanks for the offer MathStuf. But, I think I am too far into my implementation to give it up.

Nice to see you back Mic... It's been a while. Hmmmm... Let's see... Moongate travel is now working. Get and searching for everything (except chests) is working. I am working on shoppes right now. I am probably 50% complete with shoppes. So, I would say Ultima V is 70% complete.

Thanks for the laugh Krid!! The most tedious part for the shoppe talk is the high level of optimization required.

Each shoppe has 4 random greetings. Here is an example of a greeting: QuoteBegin

-->

QUOTE

Welcome to #. I am $, thy innkeeper this day. Is there anything I can do to help thee?

I have to replace the # with the shoppe name and the $ with the name of the owner. Also, every item has a description:QuoteBegin

-->

QUOTE

The Daggers we sell are honed to ultimate sharpness and cost % gold each.

I have to replace the % with the calculated item cost. There is also 4 randon good-byes, 4 random be-gones (if you you don't buy anything, the onwers get a little angry). and 4 random cheat messages (if you don't have enough money to pay).
