pentagram (an Ultima 8 engine)
|
|
|
|
Pentagram is a project aiming to create an Ultima 8 engine for use on
|
|
modern operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
|
|
|
|
While it is currently possible to finish Ultima 8 using Pentagram, not
|
|
everything is fully working yet. (Save regularly!) In the game itself,
|
|
most notably, the combat AI of monsters is still very limited, and
|
|
there are still quite a few minor things which are not working as well
|
|
as they should.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, pentagram can use TiMidity++ or fluidsynth for in-game
|
|
music (detected at compile time, must be enabled in pentagram.ini or
|
|
in-game menu).
|
|
|
|
Pentagram is only an engine. To actually play the game, you will
|
|
need an installed copy of "Ultima VIII: Pagan". Either copy the game
|
|
directory (the one containing u8.exe) to /usr/share/games/pentagram
|
|
(so that /usr/share/games/pentagram/u8.exe exists), or edit the
|
|
'path=' in ~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini to point to your existing game
|
|
directory. Pentagram is smart enough to ignore the case of filenames,
|
|
so U8.exe or U8.EXE would also be OK.
|
|
|
|
YOU MUST OWN THE GAME in order to play it with pentagram. Do not
|
|
contact pentagram's authors or the author of this SlackBuild asking
|
|
for illegal copies of Ultima 8: such requests will be ignored,
|
|
at best.
