Re: can't get exult to install

Well not much we can tell you unless you tell us what Operating System you are using.
But I guess you are using the Windows version, right? Hm, strangely it should work with the installer....
So please tell us exactly what OS you are using.

Re: Multiplayer U7

The one problem I see with multiplayer Exult is just that Exult is Open Source. This will probably make it easier for people who want to cheat on multiplayer to change the code of the client someday. As under the GPL the source must be open and so people would have the possibility to change the code...

Re: Crashes when running in window on Mac

Please don't give hints on how to bypass the copyprotection. Our projects life may one day depend on us requiring a legal version of the game.

As for printing a PDF, I could always just print a specific page from a pdf document. Don't know if that is different on Mac but I doubt it is.
