Ultima Underworld Save Game Editor
A handy utility from Xenerkes Dragon, this program allows you to edit your savegames from Ultima 1 through to Ultima 5. It allows you to change everything, including character location, and also makes it possible to get horses and boats in Ultima 3 (which is otherwise more than difficult). A Wineskin-wrapped version of the utility, initially prepared by HiPhish, has been upgraded further by Xenerkes for those of you who wish to make use of the utility in the OS X environment. This version of the utility has been tested, successfully, on the GOG versions of the games. The most recent version of the utility features improved (and corrected) tooltips, prettier icons, allows for a higher maximum number of enemy ships to be designated for Ultima 1, and removes the dependence on mfc42.dll. Nice tool, but it’s Windows only unfortunately. I got it running on my Mac in Wineskin using Wine version 1.4.1 and I had to find mfc42.dll on the internet and put it in the same folder where the editor EXE lies.
That part is necessary or else the program will quit before it even shows up. Maybe someone will find this information useful. Now I can finally give my party all the food they can eat in Ultima III. It would be cool if there was a platform-independent version of this editor.
I’m not a big fan of Java personally, but this is the sort of thing where an executable JAR file would be great. Write the program once and run it on almost anything, including your toaster. You are funny tacgnol06longcatacgnol, I finished Ultima 1 to 5 thanks to this editor. The thing you are mentioning happens in pretty much all the 1 to 5 Ultimas, see this: What happens when you add more experience than the maximum number you added in the editor? What happened to me was that the value went back to 0.
A few stray bugs have also been addressed in PS3 Games Database and Brutefore Save Data as well. Please note that this version of RetroXMB is missing PSX emulation options found in the stadalone version. Download ps3 games pkg file.
The solution to this it’s simple, add around 1000 less. Oh, and more thing, I don’t know if you are playing the Ultima games like when you see someone rapidly taking a peek at the pages of a magazine. Want some advice? Don’t go beyond that if you have no clue, it took a lot more than FAQ peeking to complete the Ultima games, and I have completed all the Ultima Collection games. And yes, Akalabeth included, thank you Lizard Man. I didn’t say anything funny. And no, it’s not a roll-over issue.
I can type in ANY number, click save, and when I reload the save in the editor or the game itself, it’ll have changed to 0, 2, 657, and so on. Case in point: when I first loaded my save into the editor, I had 325 food. I did NOT change this value. All I did was change my humility value back to 0 (partial Avatar) after messing up, and then saved.
After fiddling around with trying to extract/repackage the game.gog iso file (game stopped working when I did this) I edited the game.gog file using poweriso (free editor found online) didn't need to rename just choose show all files open game.gog and find the shades file then remove it and click save. Ultima 3 was the ultimate hacker's game. You could crack it open with a Hex Editor and mess with anything you wanted. Your characters were all stored in one place, with every attribute easy to find (and change to FF).
Anyway, when I reloaded my save, I had 2 food, AND my moves number had dropped way down. Again, I hadn’t touched those values, so it’s NOT a roll-over issue. You seem to have taken my bug report personally, because your post has a condescending tone and drips with sarcasm, and implies that my report is incorrect and invalid. I don’t appreciate that. And who the hell are you to tell me how to play a game? If you think I’m trying to insult the creators of this software with poorly-educated bug reports, I’m not, and I think they can take care of themselves without you white-knighting them. I went through almost all the gold I had during the attempt to get Space Ace, and after achieving that and returning to Sosaria I wanted to edit my HP cause I wasn’t gonna have enough gold (or patience in dungeons) to get more.
