I am trying to re-create Ultima VI in Blender and Unity using Playmaker for scripting and SimpleSQL for getting NPC responses from a SQL database. Above is a picture of the final view of Tholden's responses. I need to do this for all 200 characters.
I therefore need the entire registry of NPC responses in a spreadsheet format. If I have to manually copy each response into the SQL tables using this page Ultima VI Transcript, then I will. But it would be easier to find an already-made spreadsheet in this format:
If I knew how to generate such a spreadsheet it would save me oodles of time. I'm prepared to do it all if I have to, but if anyone is interested in say, doing a character/town in a spreadsheet software (open office, excel) and sending a link, I can drop it into the SQL table for that town. It's very easy work but tedious... which suggests there has to be some way to automate it, but I don't know how to code (I use Playmaker), so any hints about this process would save time.
What would be cool is to get 200 people to copy over 1 character's responses from that wiki into a spreadsheet using the format and send it to me, but we would need some way to ensure people don't do the work others already did.
I am also wondering if anyone knows how to extract the FM Towns audio files. I have the FM Towns version but don't know how to extract them.
Here's another much later devlog about FM Towns.
This has a handy incomplete U6 transcript in .txt format, too.
