This is a mod for Exult (with the release of Exult Studio, expect these to become more and more common) that seeks to merge The Black Gate and Serpent Isle into one seamless narrative. Additionally, it will feature a third continent — the Lands of the Feudal Lords — and a series of quests that the Avatar and his/her party must complete there.

This is an ambitious remake (and also a spin-off, within the technical definition of the term), to be sure! In addition to the expanded narrative, the developers plan to re-introduce the Virtues to the lands of Ultima (i.e. the Avatar will once again be able to interact with the Shrines). As well, they plan to overhaul the spellcasting system and to enable party members to wield spellbooks.

Serpent Isle Fixes

Releases:
* SI Fixes (255.68 KB)

This interesting collection of Serpent Isle modifications enables you to, among other things, actually cure Cantra of her post-resurrection insanity.

The developer notes that these mods are only workable using the Exult engine, and will not function with only a base install of Serpent Isle.

Additionally, he cautions that the mods might not function properly without The Silver Seed expansion installed, although he has attempted to design them so that this shouldn’t matter.

Avatar Pack

* Avatar Pack (278.52 KB)

Another Seven Towers mod, joining the ranks of Black Gate Keyring and Serpent Isle Fixes, this package completely re-does the portraits for the Avatars in both The Black Gate and Serpent Isle. It not only provides new portrait graphics, but updated gump and paperdoll graphics for each Avatar as well.

Now you can even play a redheaded Avatar!

Exult 3D

Produced by: Sam Matthews

Releases:
* Exult 3D (19.18 KB)
* Exult 3D Models (3.91 MB)

A project that surged onto the Exult Forums over a year ago and which is still in development, although it appears to not yet be at a release-worthy stage yet. Currently, Exult 1.4 is required to run it.

That said, the numerous screenshots that the developer makes available are amazing, to say the least, and offer a “never-before-seen” perspective on the world of Ultima 7.

As this program uses the original data for Ultima 7 (being, essentially, Exult with a different graphics engine) you will need the original game files to run it. And yes, like Exult, it will run both The Black Gate and Serpent Isle.

Before there was Exult Studio, there was the Ultima 7 Wizard. This program allows for the editing of maps, scenery, and objects of Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle. As well, it allows you to browse the characters and portraits, and listen to the sounds and music in the game (including dialogues).
