ExultX - Ultima 7 game engine for Xbox. Based on 1.1.3cvs.

Installation

First you need to get Ultima 7. Either you own it already, or you buy it somewhere. Then you must install it on a DOS/Windows machine to get the data files.

Alternatively, the Ultima Collection already contains a pre-installed version of U7 (in the directory /ultima7).

The folders are already set up for you. All you need to do is copy all the files from the static directories of blackgate and serpent isle, to the respective static directories in this archive.

To include music, extract the OGG music files to /data/music folder, and 2 sound packs to the /data folder (available here).

Included with the archive is an exult.cfg which has the paths setup in a nice way for the Xbox. It is not advised to change the paths, unless you know what you are doing.

For any questions/info about exult, please visit http://exult.sf.net.

User guide

If you have a mouse or keyboard or both for your Xbox, they should work exactly as in the pc version of exult. Please see the other readme's/faq etc, for more info on that.

The Xbox version does have support for the Xbox controller however. It only will respond to the first controller.

Currently the controller is set up to allow you to execute the most common commands directly from the controller, rather than clicking through the menus or inventory screens.

Back - Close pop-up windows
