The “Ultima 7” German Translation Patch Updated to Version 1.71

Back in April of 2019, Sir John also released an updated version of his German translation patch for Ultima 7: The Black Gate:

The activated UltimaHacks alone are worth the update: they bring you a lot of comfort and will reduce your “click effort” considerably. What is possible with the UltimaHacks by JohnGlassmyer, you can find out in-game (the key combination ALT+K opens a manual about the hacks in the game) or check out the revised and redesigned manuals. In the “Book of the Fellowship” I have included an appendix that explains the functionality and possibilities of the patch.
The earthquake fix of ripsaw can now remain installed by default, because the cheat mode is now accessible via the UltimaHacks and can be switched on and off several times during the game.

I also included two installers. A command line based batch script and an installation wizard based on Inno-Setup. I would be very grateful for feedback as to whether they do what they should or whether problems occur. If there are no problems, version 1.7 is quite close to my vision.

As you can see, this version of the patch features several refinements; the translated manuals are included with the patch by default, and the patch itself is available in two forms: a GUI application (essentially an installation wizard), or as a batch script. Sir John also included a number of tweaks that also made their way into the Ultima 7 Nitpicker’s Delight Patch.

You can grab the updated patch from Sir John’s site, or from the project entry here at the Codex.
