The Seven Towers website has a new address.

There are new versions of Black Gate Keyring and Serpent Isle Fixes modifications. This is basically a recompilation of the versions previously available because some recently-introduced bugs in the Usecode compiler rendered them all but playable. Also, the Black Gate Keyring modification now has better diagonal moongates, that do not stand out so blatantly while in the game.

The Exult Intrinsic Reference has been updated -- but beware, many of the new things won't be available until a later snapshot of Exult that has no clearly set date.

2007-04-28

Updated the Avatar Pack to fix one more problem in using it with SI and SI mods. Also, added some anti-aliasing by Crysta the Elf to the brunette male avatar and Skutarth's new U8-like sprite for the male bucket-head avatar. The Black Gate Keyring mod has received a corresponding update.
2007-04-08

Updated the Avatar Pack to fix problems in using it with SI and SI mods. It is recommended that you completelly remove the old version from the affected games before installing the new version (or that you follow the first optional step in the new installation instructions for the Avatar Pack).
2007-03-24

Updated the Avatar Pack with two brand new avatars, and retouched several others. There has been a corresponding update for the Black Gate Keyring mod.

The Black Gate Keyring mod and the Serpent Isle Fixes have also gained a custom title screen. This title screen will only display on the latest snapshot of Exult, but will cause no ill effects if you use an earlier snapshot.

Finally, there are also 3 brand new icons: Silver Seed versions of the Serpent Isle icons. I have added those mostly for Serpent Isle Fixes -- the logic being that the Silver Seed was supposed to 'fix' the Serpent Isle.

Update: Rapid fire update for the Black Gate Keyring mod. Added patch keybindings file, which will begin to work in the next snapshot of Exult -- but without ill effects until then.

A few fixes and updates to the Black Gate Keyring mod. This version uses featurtes present only on Exult version '1.4.03cvs', and will not work as intended otherwise.
2006-12-11

Added new paperdoll data for the Black Gate Keyring mod . This update is intended for the upcoming 1.4.02cvs version of Exult and it IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the other version. There won't be any big announcements -- it is just that a new snapshot will display its version as being '1.4.02cvs' instead of the current '1.4.01cvs'.
2006-12-11

Compatibility update of the Black Gate Keyring mod with the new BG paperdoll data. Also, there is a new and better code for the Keyring itself -- meaning that further updates to the mod should no longer result in loss of the keys that you added to the keyring.
