Now we can see why it went down hill, EA is full of fat slobs with no creativity or imagination. Just money sucking fat people.

I swear to god. Everything about EA sucks, the new cyclops/daemon art is horrible. Horrible login screen, horrible options, horrible item art(plate helm for instance isn't era accurate, the one that is in your pack), horrible 3d art.

Screw it all. Lol, we need to somehow have downloads for the old plate helm models and all the login screens and stuff.

Haha I was an original OSI employee. Until Garriot left and my vision was drowned.

You've said that like 1000 times now. I don't really think anyone cares that you were an employee of Origin.

has anyone tried this? I'm tempted, but is there much of a chance that the changes might start making me crash or cause other technical difficulties?

I use it with no issues, the only thing I have not used was the map fix. I might try it eventually but right now everything works perfectly fine.

You are right I apologize. I was trying to help on the accuracy level but it appears troglodytes like you need to find something to harp on.

Thank you, I have developed a way to make it work. So far I have the chest intro working... However there is an issue with the actual login for Username and Password. It is in the wrong place they changed the X Y inside client.exe so without some type of reverse engineering it may be hard to make it 100% accurate.

I would just be happy with correct gumps from the era, the intro screen is just a perk. I really wish we could get the mailbag to work again that would be fantastic.

Awesome.

I'm hoping you're working with the 5..8.3 client. If so I'd like to integrate your work into our recommended client when it's stable.

Batlin may be of assistance in changing the cursor locations on the login screen.

I still remember the contest in Nintendo Power to hype the first NES Ultima title. It was a chance to "meet Lord Brittish and tour his castle". I'm pretty sure that was even the picture they used of him in the ad.
