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/pentagram
|
|
(so that /usr/share/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.
