Ultima II Spelling Fix

The Ultima II Spelling Fix, created by Zhelkas for the PC version, corrects numerous spelling errors in Ultima II.
Richard Garriott, by his own admission, was not a great speller, and the early Ultima games often contained spelling errors. This patch was posted to Reddit in July 2024, and the Ultima Codex in August 2024.
Zhelkas fixed some of the spelling errors using a hex editor. Zhelkas was able to edit the TLK32 file using a custom Rust script created by Reddit user Chaigidel.
The patch replaces the files ULTIMAII.EXE and TLK32 with corrected versions. It is recommended to make backups of these files first.
Features[edit]
- Corrects the spelling of "paralized" to "paralyzed".
- Corrects the spelling of "flopy" to "floppy".
- Corrects the spelling of "sayc" to "says".
- Corrects the spelling of "metalic" to "metallic".
- Changes "hobbit" to "bobbit", matching the race from Ultima I and Ultima III.
- Capitalizes "Blue Tassles" to remain consistent with the other items. The spelling of "tassels" has not yet been corrected.
- Corrects the spelling of "Santre" to "Sentri".
- The ending now says "Ultima ]I[!!" instead of "Ultima ]I[-D ]II[-P!"
