exult - an engine for running Ultima VII
Exult is an engine built for running Ultima VII. It started its life as
a map-browser for Ultima VII and has evolved from there, thanks to the
open source-model and contributions of time and code from many people.
You cannot use Exult without game data files. At present, the only
finished games are Origin’s Ultima VII: The Black Gate and Ultima VII,
Part 2: The Serpent Isle. In any case, both Ultima VII’s are some of
the best computer Role-Playing-Games made to date. Check your local
computer dealer’s bargain bin or an online auction site. Ultima VII can
still be purchased for only a few dollars. Run out and buy it!
There is a world editor available to create your own games: Exult
Studio. Check the exult homepage (URL below) for more information.

Create a fullsize map of the current gameworld. If type = 0,
paint all roofs. If type = 0, skip second-floor roofs. If type =
2, don’t paint any roofs. You also need to specify --bg or --si.
Skip the CRC check of the .flx datafiles. Only use this if you
modified them yourself without recompiling exult
See the README supplied with exult for information on this (Note: you
NEED this configuration file to set up and run the game).
