Ultima VII: Revisited

Welcome to Ultima VII: Revisited, my attempt to write a replacement engine for Ultima VII: The Black Gate.

Installation and Running the Engine

To run this program, you will need to copy the contents of your original DOS ULTIMA7 folder to /Data/u7. This will allow the replacement engine to read in the maps and graphics from the original files.

• Locate your Ultima 7 game files (eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Ultima 7)

• Copy ALL of these files, folders and subfolders into ./resources/Data/U7 (hint: look for the U7.txt file)

Developer Installation Notes (Windows)

• Clone the project into a local folder using whatever git interface you prefer
• Copy the entire contents of your original DOS ULTIMA7 directory to $(SolutionDir)/Resources/Data/U7
• Open ./U7Revisited.sln in Visual Studio (I'm currently using VS 2022)
• To run the Debugger, in the Project Properties for U7Revisited make sure the Working Directory is set to $(SolutionDir)/Resources
• Build the U7Revisited project in the solution
• Run the program

Controls:

• WASD: Move around.
• Q/E: Rotate left and right.
• Mousewheel: Zoom in/Zoom out.
• To teleport to a location, left-click there in the minimap.
• Press ESC to exit.

This is an open source project, which means that you can grab the source files from github.com/viridiangames and build it yourself!
