I have been playing Ultima Underworld for a little while now, and have had a
couple of problems with my inventory. If this has been discussed previously,
my apologies, as I have just started reading this newsgroup.
The most serious problem was rather strange... several items disappeared, while
a new item, whose picture was 4 letters arranged like so: SP
EL
appeared. It was described as a "spell", and when I used an identification
spell on it, it said it was a spell of "remove trap". I had found no such
thing and do not know where it came from. At the same time, the contents of my
backpack were duplicated inside a small pouch in the backpack, not including th
small pouch itself. Fortunately, I was able to go back to a saved point before
this occurred, as I had lost important items.
The second problem is with things disappearing from my inventory. No fuss, no
muss, just gone. This is rather annoying. If anyone can help me, I would
appreciate it.
P.S.: The "spell" item in the first glitch could be used to limitlessly cast
the spell of the same name..

I noticed a strange bug too. My Sword of Justice changed into a massive door *sigh*. The door got it's own icon in my inventory (a little picture of a door). I could even open and close it complete with sounds. When I dropped it, I got an ordinary looking door right in front of me. This happened right at the end of the game, when I would have finished it in 30 secs or so. I had to cheat a little to get a new Sword of Justice to finish off the game. Stig

Say! That must be how the folks at Origin edit the game! Hot dang! Now if
someone can just figure out how to edit the items in the inventory, and then
how to reset the map to a "flat" state, we'll have a bona-fide map editor!
Did you by chance save a copy of the door in your inventory? I'd be most
interested in getting a copy of it! If so, please E-Mail the UUencoded version
of your player.dat file. (In the appropriate save directory.)
Also, if anyone else has come accross really wierd items like that, and you
happened to save them, then please mail me the player.dat file that has the
item in the character's inventory!
