So, I was playing Ultima IV (vanilla), sailing across the open seas, in search of adventure. A couple of the lead adventurers were feeling a little worse for wear. Something a little ‘Holing up and Camping’ would solve in a trice. But they were at sea!
Sailing along on a boat in the sea...
So, we excited the ship, and thought…can we camp here?
Okay, let's just fine a nice patch of land to start a fire...
So we Holed up and Camped. What the….!?!?
What in the name of Lord British!
Where did this little patch of land come from in the middle of the ocean? Where’s our ship? What is going on here?
Well, I immediately thought this was a ‘bug’ in the game. At minimum it could be thought of an an oversight, or an omission, on the part of the original coders.
So I’ve fixed this ‘issue’ now. Exiting a ship, in the ocean, and camping will bring up the following:
There we go...camping at sea makes sense now...
Further, camping while in the ship is possible too. So, I guess this is a cross between a bug fix and an improvement.
