Has anyone considered undertaking the development of an Ultima Underworld total conversion for a game like Half-Life or Quake3? I think it would be awesome to play an updated version of the first game with modern technology. The copyright issue wouldn't exist either (considering the enormous number of Matrix mods). Tell me your thoughts on this.

Good idea but I dont know anyone good enough at that kind of thing.A HalfLife TC wouldn't be as good as one with the dark engine from thief because of the sound effects but the big question would be either should it be an addon for thief or an independant game.If it was how would we get the dark engine code???Ideas???
(if u want me 2 do a little level-editing I could but i am often busy.....Also I'm pretty crap.All the good dasigners are working on Thief3...............

Well, actually there are conversions of some UW and SS levels for Unreal (and some other games... dunno which). I can't remember the link but it's somewhere in the forums.

I have to admit that I suggested Half-Life for purely selfish reasons (I have it) but if you have seen some of the mod development on it, you would notice that the new SDK allows for all sorts of gameplay styles. I would be happy to help on a project like this (but not head it). Just send me an e-mail if you want--

By the way, I'm sorry for opening up a new topic for this (I forgot to check for older ones and now I found several), but we should try to keep all UW TC posts centralized in one topic.

I have something in the works that will get under way this fall. I plan on using a game engine that's a UT license. If you're interested, please feel free to contact me via email, and we'll discuss it more in depth. In the email, please indicate what portion of the project you'ld like to contribute to. I'll need (in no particulat order), mappers, coders, skinners, texture artists, and perhaps modelers. I will be the Project Lead and Primary Quality Control Bastard. I plan on mapping it, coding it, skinning it, etc myself if I have to learn every step from the ground up, but help will be welcome and appreciated.
To clarify, the "something in the works" is a total conversion UW I, and if it goes well... II.

Considering the type of gameplay, I think Morrowind would be the best for an Underworld TC. Unfortunately, that's more than a year away.

is there ANY CURRENT 1st PERSON GAME WITH CONVERSATIONS?
PraetorJudis on 20/7/2000 at 21:31
Deus Ex.
However, I'm thinking of a different game to use as a base and we would need to code our own conversation and inventory system.
Please feel free to email me at praetorjudis@pjsattic.com if you have talents to offer. This project will not be taking off until this fall when the game I have in mind is released, so we have plenty of planning time!
