Thank you for your response. I don't think so... I have an old Intel HD Graphics 3000. I think the latest drivers (whose updating is now discontinued) support only OpenGL 3.1... Need to improve my PC in the future X-: Thank you! Good bye!

Karl Robillard posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

The first thing to check is if your video driver supports OpenGL 3.3.

xu4 - Ultima IV recreated released /xu4/1.4/xu4-tools-1.4.zip

G. Scoli posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

that did it and wow it's sweet seeing the old party and where I last saved it on my C64 all those years ago :-)

Karl Robillard posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

The saved game files are stored in the settings directory. On Windows this is %APPDATA%\xu4.

G. Scoli posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

Thanks Karl much appreciated! I tried copying party.sav in the xu4 folder but I didn't see my old stats and had to initiate a new journey?

Karl Robillard modified a comment on discussion Open Discussion

Please post the archive here or email it to me so I can look at them. I've started studying the file formats, but my own files from running the game in VICE seem odd (they are a couple bytes too long and have no recognizable player names). [Update] The first two bytes get ignored and the strings use some uscii encoding.

Karl Robillard posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

I updated the dumpsavegame utility to accept the s1a & s80 files and write a party.sav. Please try the attached party.sav file in xu4 and check that everything looks OK. I haven't looked at what s7e & s7f contain yet, and probably won't tackle that for some time.

Thanks here's my save files

I have the 4 save files but lost on what to do next?

Karl Robillard posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

I'm not aware of an existing tool. Conversion shouldn't be too hard as the Remastered project can be used as a guide. The first step would be to collect the four save files (s1a, s7e, s7f, s80) into an archive for processing on a Linux or Windows machine.

G. Scoli posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion
