If you need this changed, let me know; I’ve got plenty of free space to work with.

Just wondering if there is a size limit on the photo section uploading. I have a few scans I would like to put up there over the coming weeks.

Major differences between Ultima V for TI calcs and the PC version:

- Treasure chests will not be locked. The PC version had chests that were randomly locked and required a key to open.
- Opening a chest will automatically add all contents to the party’s inventory. The PC version required the player to pick up all items individually.
- Sails are automatically unfurled upon boarding a frigate and will require a directional input to move. The PC version required you to yell “unfurl” and “furl”; whe the sails were unfurled frigate movement was automated based on the direction of wind. Although, wind still effects the movements of frigates on the calc version.
- Frigates will not be allowed to move over shallow water. This was possible in the PC version but the frigate would be damaged.
- You will not be able to “holeup” and camp on a frigate to make repairs.
- The armoury shops will only buy items that they offer for sale. The armoury shops on the PC version would buy any armoury item.
- All dungeon room puzzles are solved by using the “push” command.
- I’m sure there are other subtle differences… but these are the biggies.

So… Overall I would say the Ultima V for TI calcs is about 97% identical to the PC version. Not too shabby.

Ultima V for TI calcs beta testing is progressing quite nicely — lots of bugs have been reported, found, and corrected as well as suggestions.

I still have a few special combat capabilities to add… and it progressing nicely!

I am anticipating the official first release to happen during the month of May. It’s hard to believe that it is almost done!

Hey WtF,
Just so as you know, the latest pictures are of Jhelom, not Trinsic as reported by yourself and Petrell on Dino’s site. I’ve already written Dino to let him know as well.

Seems people really want to see Trinsic…maybe the next Dev Diary will have some pics of it…we’ll see.
