(Save regularly!) In the game +itself, most notably, the combat AI of monsters is still very limited, +and there are still quite a few minor things which are not working as +well as they should. + +Optionally, pentagram can use TiMidity++ or fluidsynth for in-game music +(detected at compile time, must be enabled in pentagram.ini or in-game +menu). + +Pentagram is only an engine. To actually play the game, you will +need an installed copy of "Ultima VIII: Pagan". Either copy the +game directory (the one containing u8.exe) to /usr/share/pentagram +(so that /usr/share/pentagram/u8.exe exists), or edit the 'path=' in +~/.pentagram/pentagram.ini to point to your existing game directory. +Pentagram is smart enough to ignore the case of filenames, so U8.exe or +U8.EXE would also be OK. + +YOU MUST OWN THE GAME in order to play it with pentagram. Do not contact +pentagram's authors or the author of this SlackBuild asking for illegal +copies of Ultima 8: such requests will be ignored, at best. |
