Ultima VII Revisited

Summary

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 ./Data/U7 (hint: look for the U7.txt file) Developer Installation Notes 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)/Redist/Data/U7/ Building with Meson (Cross-platform) Make sure you have the Meson Build system installed Run meson setup build , or if you want to generate a Visual Studio project, meson setup --backend vs build , or if you want to generate a Visual Studio project, Run meson compile -C build to build the project to build the project Go to build/ directory and run the u7revisited program Building with CMake (Windows & Linux) Windows: Install CMake (3.15 or higher) - Visual Studio 2019+ includes CMake support that you can install via the Visual Studio Installer. See CMake projects in Visual Studio for details. You MUST open "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019" to get a console with cmake on your path! A normal Powershell or cmd.exe will not work! CD to the project folder, and configure and generate build files: cd U7Revisted cmake -S . -B build Open the new solution file in Visual Studio 2019+: build/U7Revisited.sln Build the project using Visual Studio (Ctrl+Shift+B or Build → Build Solution) or F5 to build & debug The Release executable will be automatically copied to Redist/u7revisited.exe after building Linux: Install CMake and required dependencies: sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev li...
