Ultima VI - How do I transfer character and zoom?

Post by MechaGodJovi »

So I recently found out about ScummVM and so far it's been great but I have a couple issues that I searched endlessly for with little to no results.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to transfer a character from V to VI and each time I click on Transfer Character nothing happens. Also is there a way to zoom in the game screen? I tried the different game styles and graphics mode scaling but nothing works. Even the classic style of U6 is cutoff so I can't even see anything and the new style CTD's when pressing C to cast so I just stuck to Original+Fullmap. It's just zoomed out too far which causes me eye strain and would like something between classic U6 and this if it's possible, thanks!

It seems like the original Nuvie didn't yet support importing characters from Ultima V to begin with, so the ScummVM version doesn't either. As for sizes, there's no GUI for it yet, but if you manually open your scummvm.ini file, you can post several options into the section for your added ultima6 game.. video/screen_width, video/screen_height, video/game_width, and video/game_height. I haven't really played around with them, so I don't know if they'll do what you want, but it may be worth fiddling around with.

Ah okay that makes sense. I eventually just cheated and edited avatar's stats to what it would have been if I did transfer so guess that will just have to do. I was about to ask about the ini file because it wasn't in the folder I've extracted ScummVM into but I found it in %appdata%. Thanks for the reply, I'll mess around with it and see if it helps if not oh well I can manage.
