The following repository contains pre-alpha builds of the Ultima 5 Redux project.
DO NOT IGNORE THESE OR YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME!
-
You must first have a copy of the original Ultima 5 game data and an existing save game
-
Copy the ultima5 directory to
Windows ->C:\games\Ultima_5\
MacOS ->/tmp/u5
or/games/u5
You are able to put may Ultima 5 directories in these directory - you will be permitted to choose when launching the game For example my personal directory looks like
->C:\games\Ultima_5\gold\*
->C:\games\Ultima_5\britain\*
->C:\games\Ultima_5\im_scared\*
I know this is kind of silly, but I just haven't gotten around to adding the option to choose your own base directory. -
Download the package from here: https://github.com/bradhannah/Ultima5Redux-Demos/tree/master/Dec-19-2020 for your appropriate operating system
-
Unzip the game into whatever directory you see fit
4.5 IF you are MacOS then will need to do the following:
chmod +x Ultima5Redux-MacOSX-Feb-24-2020.app/Contents/MacOS/*
- also you need to hold down CTRL and right click the app and click open since it is not a trusted app.
5a. Windows -> Run Ultima5Redux3D
5b. MacOSX -> Run Ultima5Redux-MacOSX-Feb-24-2020.app
-
When the loading screen opens be sure to choose
Select Save Game
. You should see the Ultima 5 directories you have dropped onto the disk in step 2. Choose one and clickLoad
-
Choose
Journey Onward
-
The "game" should start up from the save data provided.
-
You will notice a few things
- There is an annoying text box (debug console). Simply press
C
to toggle it - It may have crashes or not worked in some way or another. Curious - but not suprising, I haven't tested this on any other machines yet. Let me know if you had a problem - but I can't be certain I can help. But I'll try.
- Have fun and play around! There is a
D
ebug menu you can use to teleport and monkey around. There is no save feature, so it's safe and won't harm your save file.
If you're keen to submit a feature request, bug, issue or whatever please use the Issue tracker found here: https://github.com/bradhannah/Ultima5Redux/issues
Good luck!
