Sorry ... when I said post I mean put a savegame on a website and then
post a link to it. I wouldn't have posted the savegame on the group. I
might try installing u7 on a different machine of mine and see if I can
get into the tetrahedron that way. I'm sure it must be some sort of
game bug.
(Later). Well I was wrong about it being some sort of copy error on the
machine I'm using. I've installed the game on two other machines and on
neither can I get into the tetrahedron. I think there is probably a
footnote in anyone's Ultima7 FAQ for anyone who can sort this little
problem out. (Or maybe I should read as many FAQs and walkthroughs as I
can since somebody must have had this problem before me). I'm surprised
none of you dragons know actually.
Originally I thought it was because I wasn't holding the Orb of the
Moons in my bag (it was in the possession of a party member). That
didn't help. I'm sure I'll have some new ideas in a day or two.
Meantime I'll post a save game on a website so anyone interested can see
what is going on..
Thanks for reading this
