Ultima VII auf Deutsch

Ultima VII auf Deutsch is a fan-patch created by Sir John which fully translates Ultima VII into German, which can be found at Die Heimstatt des Sir John. While an official translation of Ultima VII into German does exist, it's very difficult to find, as it was only published on floppy disks. Additionally, Forge of Virtue never got translated into German. Also, the original german translation has several weaknesses. Due to that, Sir John decided to completely re-do the translation. Also, a new translation of the original manual is available.

The original CD-version of Ultima VII is needed for the patch. The patch files then are simply copied into the game directory, and that is basically all that needs to be done, apart from extra steps for additional content. The resulting game can then either be played in DosBox or Exult.

Features
The following things are part of the patch:
 * Full and complete translation of all text in the game to German. The existing translation got overhauled and massively improved in the process, while Forge of Virtue is a first translation.
 * Re-drawing of all English graphics into German graphics (as seen in the title screen).
 * The Gemran speech files of the Guardian from the original translation are re-used (although the quality of the voice is rather weak).
 * Fix of a bug of the old German version, in which several keywords had their triggers missing.
 * Fix of the Rankin-bug, he can now be forced to confess with the cube.
 * Fix of the Tseramed-bug when the player's name is "Avatar".
 * Fix of the broken code when wasting a potion.
 * Fix of the Iskander-quest, which in the original was unsolvable due to a bug.
 * Fishes now no longer have a size of 0 (bug in the original game). Thus fishing is now possible.
 * Additional fixes for the static in the intro and the earthquake-effect.
 * The spacing between the lines got fixed, so that the amount of possible visible text on the screen is again that of the original English version.
 * Alternate optional antiqua-font for better readability of the text, can be turned on or off.
