What does the version of the browser have to do with Exult ? And P5s haven't been produced since 1999.

That silver serpent venom works wonders

Ah, sorry, Isle of Fire corresponds to Torture.

Hi JD, really enjoying these. The missing track is also my favourite: Torture. Any plans on doing that ?

And if anyone wants to port the .ini code from Pentagram to Exult so we can kill that horrid XML configuration.....

While I find the tone of ShadowChaser's post absolutely abysmal and undeserved, I do think the points he makes are reasonable: applications should be well behaved in the environment.

ShadowChaser we are waiting for the patches to make Exult better behaved than you

Hmm,
openwatcom....

nobody has really tested that. We only build with g++ (Gnu C++), MSVC and I guess mingw.

You're free to try, although I believe OpenWatcom's support for templates is not too hot, and Exult uses them...

Being italian, I hereby refuse to accept that picture as something representative of the word "Spaghetti"

Ben detto, Andrea.

The crap that the world passes off as "Italian Food"...

Pay us then

That might speed thing up

Tristan

Can't we switch to a simpler "properties" file, just like Pentagram uses (somewhat similar to windows ini files) ?

Tristan

Even if it did not work (which is unlikely), whoever has the right tools (Leopard + compilers) can send us patches to bring it inline with the latest OSX.

/usr/lib/libfl.a is included in the flex package under Ubuntu, but automake should have added the -lfl to the link command

GUMP = Graphical User Menu Pop-Up

I think what he means is:
start Exult, choose journey onwards, press ESC and load a game from there.

That would be Colourless Dragon aka Ryan Nunn. You can find his contact on the credits page

> 'Opensourcing it would be useless since it's coded in (obfuscated) pascal+assembler, a solution which I think I am the last one using on Earth ;)' I'm sorry Andrea, but IMHO this is not a good reason for not opening the source of your work. OpenSource is not just for people out there who might joi...

You can use flac to conserve space.

But you see, I am an admin, and I can also see that there is an extra host name in front of proxy.aol.com (in the form of cache-xxx-yyyy). And they are all the same for those users (yours is different for example).

Hmm, bizarre how all these users are from the same provider.....

Stupid cvs and stupid cvswrappers.
Fixed now.

Well, I have updated my bit. I also have a photo if you want.

Servus, maybe moving development out in the open will help you find other people who are willing to fill in the missing bits.

I build and run on Ubuntu (without a K but it doesn't make a difference).
Tell me what errors you get.

Tristan

this sort of thing is usually better discussed on the mailing list

A Radeon 7500 is nothing special: it is a reasonably supported card by open source drivers (i.e. plain old Xorg or XFree86 should work fine). DRI is only useful for accelerated 3D, and Exult doesn't use any of that (yet :) ). Also, SDL writes directly to the framebuffer only in DGA mode, which it is...

You are missing Mac OS X. Exult will not run on anything lower than 10.x I believe.

Tristan

In fact the Serpent Isle packaging was of inferior quality (imho) to the Black Gate box (at least the box I got): paper map instead of cloth, crap box.

Dominik: in theory config files should be modified by hand only by people who know what they are doing, it doesn't matter if they are xml, ini or binary. IMHO if we require standard users to modify their config by hand then there is something wrong with the application itself. Exult, and not the ins...

done. hope this solves the spamming

First of all read the Documentation and the FAQ.

It's all explained in there.

Tristan

From Exult's credits (you can view them from the main menu, together with some quotes by the Exult team): Matt Kimmich For giving us permission to use his MIDI tracks Matt composed the tracks for the now-defunct Age of the Dragons project which intended to build a free RPG using the DCGames engine Y...

DrCode, you make me sound as a Free Software-obsessed Exult GPL advocate, but may I remind you that it was you who put the source under that *viral* license ;) Actually I believe Sam should branch Exult in CVS and work there, so that everyone can have a look and make it easier when it comes to mergi...

I didn't miss the joke, I just believe that DrCode didn't intend to write what he did.

DrCode, it's Pentagram, not Pagan

I guess he wants to know if the Scepter of Enlightenment and the Hammer of Dedication are of any use in the game. I can't remember so I cannot really answer

I think Adonthell has a graphical conversation editor (written in Python). Might be a good place to borrow ideas from

You should talk to Colourless: he's in charge of Exult's sound engine. He's also rewritten it completely in Pentagram and I believe he's going to backport it to Exult.

The documentation that comes with Exult is fairly extensive (thanks Dominus!!!): you should really get in touch with whoever packaged the RPM for Mandrake and ask how it was packaged.
Aren't docs supposed to go in /usr/share/doc/exult ?

Tristan

You need to install the dev package for SDL and SDL_mixer

Sounds good

I would do it myself if I had the time

Tristan

We could set up a Wiki so that creating this documentation can be a collaborative effort.

Gentoo is ok for a one man workstation, but the whole "download source, compile, install" sequence is silly if you have several machines. I use Debian on my box and all of my servers (12 at the moment). Updates and upgrades are easy and I have a private apt repo with special packages which...

Sorry, I forgot to put a smiley there. No it doesn't exist, but it would be great if it did.

It's time for SDL_scalers

I'm not mocking you. And no, there is no way to solve it, as it is not really a problem.

Barak, we understand English is not your first language, but it appears you're not really making an effort to read what you are being told.

During the game press ESC, then Audio Options and check the "looping" attribute.

Because you have to translate your scripting language into a much simpler representation which is then executed by a special virtual machine. Most of the complex constructs needed in a human readable language can be reduced to a handful of basic instructions, therefore making the virtual machine muc...
