-----------------------
1 About this FAQ
1.1 Purpose of this FAQ
This FAQ is not intended to replace the many other Ultima, and Ultima
Dragons related FAQs, rather, it is intended to summarise, supplement, and
list all those, for the purpose of regularly posting to
rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons, in order to cut down on some unnecessary
noise on the group. Most of the questions in this FAQ are real questions
which are asked on rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons (And its predecessor,
alt.games.ultima.dragons) reasonably frequently.
1.2 Revision History
Only the most recent revisions are listed here. The complete history can be
found at http://crash.ihug.co.nz/~charlton/andrew/revision.html
5/6/96
The address of the weyrmount changed from dragon.lei.net:9020 to
weyrmount.sensemedia.net:9020 old addresses will continue to work, but are
not guaranteed to do so forever. Added "Who Killed Quenton". Revamped that
section so that adding new "Frequently Given Hints" is easier.
22/5/96
FAQ now approved for news.answers, look out for it there shortly. Split the
Weyrmount section into the Weyrmount/IRC section. Added my meagre knowledge
of IRC.
1.3 How can I get the latest version of this FAQ?
This FAQ can now be found at
http://crash.ihug.co.nz/~charlton/andrew/rgcudfaq.html. Also, it is posted
fortnightly in rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons,
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg, rec.answers, comp.answers, and news.answers. As
a result of crossposting to news.anwsers, a text version of the FAQ is
available at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/games/ultima and
its many mirrors.
-----------------------
2 The Newsgroup, rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons(RGCUD)
2.1 What can I discuss in rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons?
The main topic is Ultima, a long running series of computer role playing
games, and the Ultima Dragons, the Ultima fan club.
Topics of discussion in RGCUD have ranged from Ultima hints, wild
speculations about Ultima 9, wild speculations about what events in
previous Ultimas meant, Ultima Dragons organisational issues, and what
various Dragons had for lunch yesterday. Ultima fan-fiction is welcome. You
need not be a Dragon to post.
We are slightly more informal than many groups, since as well as being a
group for discussing Ultima, it is also a meeting place for members of the
Ultima Dragons. As such, a large amount of off-topic discussion is
tolerated/welcomed.
2.2 Can I post binaries to rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons?
No. Binaries should only be posted in binaries groups (alt.binaries.* + a
few others). If you want to post some Ultima related binaries, post them to
an appropriate one of these, then post a note in
rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons telling the readers there where they can
find it.
The Ultima Dragons ftp site, ftp.udic.org/ftpud/ (Maintained by Fallible
Dragon) is a good repository of Ultima, and Ultima Dragons related
information. You can upload anything about these topics to the uploads
directory there.
Note: It seems that with the move to rec, this is now enforced, and if you
do post a binary then it will be cancelled.
2.3 Will alt.games.ultima.dragons be around forever?
rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons is a new group intended to replace the
old group alt.games.ultima.dragons. alt.games.ultima.dragons was rmgrouped
on May 19th 1996. The details of the creation of
rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons, and the deletion of
alt.games.ultima.dragons (Including RFD, the two CFVs, and the result of
the vote) are available at
ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/rec/rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons
Note: alt.games.ultima.dragons still exists on many servers. If your local
news server is one of these, you can do everyone a favour by dropping a
line to your news administrator (usually newsmaster@<your domain>) telling
them about the problem, and directing them to the above URL.
2.4 Can I ask for hints?
Yes, it is one of the groups primary functions. In order to keep the group
as clean as possible, I ask that you follow certain guidelines when asking
for a hint:
* Give a good, descriptive header, do not use headers like "Help me!" or
"Ultima 7" You should try to include:
o Which Ultima you are having a problem with, the two or three
letter code outlined below allows everyone to understand, and
gives plenty of space for other info.
+ U1,U2..U8, main sequence Ultimas.
+ U7 and SI, or U7.0 and U7.5, Ultima 7, and Serpent Isle (U7
part 2) respectively.
+ FoV and SS, Forge of Virtue (U7 addon) and Silver Seed (SI
addon) respectively.
+ UW1, UW2, Ultima Underworlds 1 and 2 respectively.
+ SE,MD, Worlds of Adventure: Savage Empire, and Martian
Dreams respectively.
o A Brief description of the problem.
* If you are asking a technical question, try to include some info about
your system, in particular, what you are loading in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS. Drivespace, for example, can take up lots of memory,
and would be significant.
These will allow people to zero in on questions they know the answers to,
and will serve to make a more efficient newsgroup.
-----------------------
3 The Ultima Dragons
3.1 What are the Ultima Dragons?
The Ultima Dragons is a group of people who simply love Ultima, a long
running series of computer role playing games (CRPGs). You can find more
information about the Dragons, and their long, and sordid history at the
official Ultima Dragons Web Site, at http://www.udic.org/faq.html ,
maintained by Monomolecular Dragon. The Dragons home page is at
http://www.udic.org/ maintained by Fallible Dragon.
3.2 What does UDIC stand for?
UDIC stands for Ultima Dragons Internet Chapter, this arose because the
club originated on Prodigy, and has since migrated to the internet, for
more information see section 3.1
3.3 Can I Join The Dragons?
You certainly can, there are several ways to do this:
* The easiest, and preferred way is to use your web browser and go to
http://www.udic.org/ I give this URL rather than the actual URL of the
join form because I feel you should at least know something about the
Dragons before you join. The Ultima Dragons FAQ is a more appropriate
place for this information, this can be found there.
* If you do not have access to the World Wide Web, you can e-mail to
join@udic.org include the following information in the message:
o Your real name,
o Your email address.
o Your proposed Dragon Name,(subject to checking to see if it has
already been taken)
o Ultimas you may have played and/or completed
o A little about yourself, so we know who we are talking to.
Whichever method you use, one of the dedicated team of greeters will
process your application and get back to you.
Please note that the Dragons do have one entrance requirement, you must
have played an Ultima. Why you would want to join if you haven't is beyond
me, but that is the rule.
-----------------------
4 Technical Questions
4.1 How do I get Ultima ZZZ to run in Windows 95?
For earlier Ultimas (1-6), I am reliably informed, they will work fine in a
full screen MS-DOS prompt from Win95.
Erinnyes Dragon has provided a page providing help for Win95 Ultima 7/7.5
users, and a few other titbits at:
http://fly.HiWAAY.net/~ssweargn/ssweargn.htm
Ultima 8 is a little less strict on memory requirements, probably the above
U7 solutions will work fine for U8. (I welcome more specific info, I
personally do not yet have Win95, so I cannot test any of these solutions)
4.2 Ultima ZZZ runs too fast on my system, can I slow it down?
There is a program called moslo, which is available at the dragons FTP
site, http://ftp.udic.org/ftpud/ultima/patches/moslo.zip
4.3 Ultima7, or Serpent Isle need too much memory, how can I get them to
run?
Okay, just off the cuff, here's something to tide you over. Please let me
know if these don't work...
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
FILES=25
DOS=HIGH,UMB
If you use drivespace include:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE
AUTOEXEC.BAT
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE
NOTES: some of your directories may be different, substitute them as
appropriate. I have had difficulty getting Serpent Isle to work, even with
this minimal configuration. Drivespace takes up quite a lot of space, the
only solution I could come up with was to substitute my usual mouse driver
for one which took up slightly less space, either that, or use a DOS 5 boot
disk, so the driver doesn't get loaded. If you do this, you will only be
able to access the uncompressed portion of the drive, the rest is still
there, and will return when you load with DOS 6 again. Do not include the
drivespace line if you use this method.
4.4 Ultima 2 gives a divide by zero error, how can I fix this?
This is caused by fast computers (don't ask me how) the solution is to use
a slowdown program, see section 4.2
This solution will slow down the whole computer. Not much fun if you're
trying to multitask (i.e. Windows 95), so there is another solution:
http://www2.psyber.com/~louis/u2fix.zip (Thankfully supplied by Micro
Dragon) includes full instructions. In particular, remember to hold down
the SHIFT key when loading.
-----------------------
5 How do I do XXX, how do I get past YYY in Ultima ZZZ?
5.1 Walkthroughs
There is a wonderful selection of Ultima walkthroughs available at
http://www.udic.org/ultima, and also at
http://www.emanon.net/~redjr/world_of_ultima/ most of your problems will be
solved there, just to help you along, some of our MOST frequently asked
questions are answered below.
5.2 Frequently Given Hints
5.2.1 How do I get past the test of truth in the Forge of Virtue addon for
Ultima 7?
Very near the beginning of the test is a hood next to a wall, this is an
illusory wall, you can walk through it to a corridor, and eventually to the
TRUE amulet of truth.
5.2.2 How do I get past the hydra on Ambrosia in Ultima 7?
One of the walls is actually a secret door, double click on that, and it
will open.
5.2.3 Where is the birthplace of Moriens in Ultima 8?
Two possibilites. A patch was released by Origin, fixing many bugs, plot
holes, and interface problems, if you have applied this patch then the
birthplace is behind a door labelled "The Birthplace of Moriens" in the
upper catacombs.
If you have not applied the patch, then the birthplace does not exist. It
is generally considered that the place to go next is a door labelled
"Towards Fate Do You Travel", this is the same door as mentioned above, it
was just renamed by the patch.
The Ultima 8 patch is available at the following location, please use the
patch for the version of Ultima 8 that you own. I have no idea what
applying the wrong one will do, perhaps I will try it so I can include that
information.
* English Version ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/patches/u8patche.zip
* German Version ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/patches/u8patchg.zip
* French Version, ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/patches/u8patchf.zip
5.2.4 Who Killed Quenton (Ultima 6)?
This is another red herring/plot hole, using standard methods (i.e. not
cheating) there is no way to find out who killed Quenton. It is not
necessary to win the game.
There is a man with a house on the road from Britain to Skara Brae who
refuses to give his name. This is the man who killed Quenton. (Note: This
is my own opinion, other theories are welcome, but of course it's mostly
irrelevant.) The full story of why, is told by Quenton in Ultima 7.
5.3 Can you explain any plot inconsistencies to me?
There are many points of constant speculation on the newsgroup, most of
which are never agreed on, and so cannot be put into a FAQ. There is an
Ultima storyline FAQ, http://www.gatewest.net/~cpb/ultima.html (Written by
Chris Billows, not currently being maintained, I personally would be
interested in someone taking over, for more info, see the end of the FAQ
(His, not mine)) which does attempt to explain some of these, many others
remain unanswered. Feel free to post your own theories, but be prepared for
some pretty heavy scrutiny.
Underworld Dragon has written a timeline, putting all events which have
happened in the Ultima world in perspective. It is available at
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgregg/ultima/ultima-timeline.faq
5.4 Can I cheat in Ultima ZZZ?
5.4.1-5.4.5 Ultima 1-5
Not that I know of.
5.4.6 Ultima 6
Speak to Iolo, and type
spam<RETURN>
spam<RETURN>
spam<RETURN>
humbug<RETURN>
This will bring up a cheat menu.
5.4.7 Ultima 7
5.4.7.1 Ultima 7 part 1
The cheat mode for Ultima 7 part one can be activated by typing the
following on the command line:
Ultima7 abcd[alt 255]<RETURN>
[alt255] is a single, invisible character typed by pressing alt, and typing
255 on the keypad, then releasing alt.
There is no space between abcd, and [alt 255].
Within the game, the F-keys now have special functions.
5.4.7.2 Ultima 7 part 2
The cheat mode for Serpent Isle is activated by typing the following on the
command line:
serpent pass<RETURN>
or, if you have the Silver Seed addon:
serpent manimal<RETURN>
Within the game, f-keys now have special funtions.
5.4.8 Ultima 8
The easiest way (AFAIK) is to use the following program, which modifies
your current savegame with the cheat enabled. I have not personally tried
this, and I have not the HD space to reinstall U8 just for this. If anyone
has some feedback on this mail me at charlton@ihug.co.nz. It can be found
at http://www.udic.org/ftpud/ultima/programs/u8cheat2.zip
5.4.9 Ultima 9
Rest assured someone will have figured them out fifteen seconds after the
game is released.
5.4.10 Ultima Worlds of Adventure (Savage Empire, Martian Dreams)
Not that I know of.
5.4.11 Ultima Underworlds
Not that I know of.
-----------------------
6 Future Ultimas
6.1 Ultima 9
6.1.1 When will Ultima 9 come out?
Our sources say Spring '97 (This means Autumn '97 for us in the southern
hemisphere), this should be taken with the same caution all game release
dates are.
6.1.2 Spring 97?!? I can't wait that long!!! Why don't the Ultima 9 design
team get their butts into gear?
Ultima 9 is planned to be an epic, it will be the last Ultima to star the
Avatar, and will incorporate, explain, and wrap up all previous Ultimas.
This is an awfully big task, and naturally takes some time.
Here it is, straight from the mouth of Lord British (Well, almost
straight.. translated to German and back to English...): "We have learned
something [from Ultima 8 and Pacific Strike]. Quality always has to have
priority, even against financial reasons."
Thanks to F15 Dragon for translating the interview, it can be found at
http://rcs1.urz.tu-dresden.de/~bochmann/U9/u9text.html
6.1.3 What else do you know about Ultima 9?
There is an Ultima 9 FAQ maintained by Sagacious Dragon,
http://www.uwa.edu.au/student/ayau/u9/u9faq.htm
F15 Dragon has scanned some screen shots of Ultima 9 from a magazine, they
are available at http://rcs1.urz.tu-dresden.de/~bochmann/u9shots.html, and
mirrored by Excalibur Dragon at
http://www.emanon.net/~redjr/u9pics/u9pics-b.html
6.2 What about Ultima 10?
Give me a break...
6.3 Ultima Online
6.3.1 What is Ultima Online?
Ultima Online is a virtual, graphical environment, based in the world of
Britannia (And three other continents). There was a successful (And by all
accounts extremely fun) pre-alpha test for two weeks beginning the 1st of
April, and another starting the 13th of May. I have heard that an Ultima
Online FAQ is in production, if, and when this is finished, could someone
please give me (charlton@ihug.co.nz) a pointer to it.
6.3.2 What are the system requirements for Ultima Online?
The pre-alpha version requires a pentium 60, and Windows 95, these
requirements are expected to drop considerably in the optimised release
version.
6.3.3 Where can I find out more about Ultima Online?
There are several Ultima Online web pages, the Origin Worlds Online page is
the official one, at http://www.owo.com/. Another one is at
http://www.Nashville.Net/~awebber/uol/.
6.3.4 Is there an Ultima Online newsgroup?
An Ultima online newsgroup is in the early planning stages. The hope is
that the group will be created, and all the bugs worked out in time for
Ultima Online's release. For information, contact Canadian Dragon (Tim
Lamb) at timlamb@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca
6.3.5 When Is Ultima Online due out?
Ultima Online is due to be released around the end of the year (1996).
6.4 Will there be an Underworld 3?
Here is another excerpt from the LB interview at
http://rcs1.urz.tu-dresden.de/~bochmann/U9/u9text.html
"Interesting that you ask, these days Warren Spector, the producer of the
Underworld series, is putting a team together at Origin, which is intended
to work on that project. Underworld III is not officially planned, but
we're collecting people."
Yes, loose-lips British has done it again. Make of this what you will.
-----------------------
7 Real Time Interaction
Because sometimes it's nice to meet other Dragons, and have a conversation
which doesn't take three days from question to response.
7.1 Weyrmount
7.1.1 What is the Weyrmount?
Its a MOO, a virtual environment for Dragons to interact with each other.
7.1.2 How do I get there?
The new 'Official' address is weyrmount.sensemedia.net port 9020 Telnet to
that address. Other addresses are not guaranteed to work in the future.
Follow the instructions on the screen, and connect as a guest. If you don't
get any instructions, then either you are forgetting the port number, or
your telnet client software is ignoring it. If it is the latter, then you
probably have to get a new client.
There is also a web page at http://sensemedia.net/weyrmount/
7.1.3 I can't do anything, how does this place work?
A MOO is a lot like a text adventure, to walk around type stuff like "Go
North" actually usually just "N" will suffice, to talk to other players,
type "say <your text here>", this has a shortcut version, simply typing a
double quote instead of say will work exactly the same way.
The best way to get help is to page someone. You can type @who to get a
list of all the users who are currently logged on, and then type "page
<charactername> <your message i.e. Please help me, I'm new...>" (page can
be replaced by an apostrophe) the people on the MOO are very nice, and are
almost certain to help you.
There is a lot to learn, but most of it is very easy to use after a short
while. Typing help, or help <something> can often help.
There is a Weyrmount FAQ maintained by Underworld Dragon which provides
much more information,
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgregg/ultima/weyrmount.faq
If you are on the Weyrmount, you can access the FAQ with this command:
read $faq
7.2 IRC (#UDIC)
Warning! I am in no way an expert on IRC, quite the opposite in fact.
7.2.1 What is IRC?
IRC is Internet Relay Chat. It consists of a series of channels, when you
join a channel, everything you type will be sent to everyone else on that
channel. The Dragons have an IRC channel called #UDIC
7.2.2 How do I get there?
Fire up your IRC client, and connect to an undernet (Usually
<something>.undernet.org) server. Type
/join #UDIC
and start typing. I suggest:
Help me! I am new to IRC!
To leave the channel, type:
/part #UDIC
IRC is simultaneously very simple, and extremely complex. You can find more
information at the Undernet homepage, http://www.undernet.org/. I also
suggest reading the help files for your client.
-----------------------
8 Miscellaneous
8.1 Has there been any Ultima fiction written?
Yes, you can find a list of it at
http://crash.ihug.co.nz/~charlton/andrew/fanfic.html.
8.2 Where can I get some Ultima stuff?
Underworld Dragon has written the Ultima Collectibles FAQ, available at
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgregg/ultima/ultima-collectibles.faq This contains
information on what Ultima memorabilia exists, and where you might find it.

10 Acknowledgments
I wrote this FAQ myself, however I must thank the writers of all the other
FAQs and pages that this one references, and Fallible Dragon who maintains
the FTP site, and Web pages from which so much of the other information has
come, and all those who have sent me extra information to include.
Also, all the contributors of rec.games.computer.ultima-dragons and its
predecessor, alt.games.ultima.dragons who have answered some of these
questions numerous times without complaint.
Comments, and suggestions are welcome, email me at charlton@ihug.co.nz
