I'm not sure if this would be in the forums as mod development or the ds1 gameplay area, since it discusses a mod ... but not the development of a mod. So, it's a blog. Smile

I managed to get the lazarus ultima 5 remake for dungeon siege 1. The installer ran without problems. However, I have some questions.

Can this be made to run at higher resolutions, especially non 4:3 resolutions? I've got DS1/Aranna running at 1400x900 without problems, but the ultima thing wants to run at 1024x768 at most, so everything is squashed down.

Can I get the camera down? I've got a mod that allows eevery other siegelet to get the camera down to the character's eye-level but it does not work for this mod. Sad

There are camera mods and a lot more for U5L at Sylore.com

I'm sure there is a way by editing the system_detail.gas file. However, U5Lazarus was designed to run at a specific resolution and I'm unsure how things would look and run at a greater resolution.

Simple answer: no. Just log on and start exploring. Smile

By DS1 gameplay I ment all DS1 gameplay, mods included. But yeah, that's not too obvious. Smile

edit: I changed the forum descriptions.

Oh. Didn't mean to cause a ruckus, I just was not sure where the question went, forum-wise.

Thank you. Smile
