Exult Forum

Yes, posting images inline works great on github. You can just drag'n'drop them in your text entry field. I'll give it another day or so and will then lock this forum, which can be quickly be undone if we find github discussions terrible. Leaving both open will likely not be the right incentive :) I...

The forum is slow and most features are missing because SourceForge doesn't allow them anymore. I toyed with moving the website and forum but that would add another thing to manage and I'm not 100% looking forward to it. So I'm looking at the github discussions and not really disliking it. See the e...

sorry, getting back to it.
As long as you keep your games and the patch/mods folders uninstall and reinstalling will not nuke your work. UNLESS you are working on the Exult mods (BG Keyring, SIfixes, SF Island), for these you might need to take precautions.

I'm sorry, the more I looked into it, the worse it gets.
First, the error message is indeed caused by us messing with the manifest file, but then many dlls are not compatible with XP anymore. So even if we fix that and you use only XP compatible dlls, this will not end well.

Thanks for your report. I'm looking into it. I think we borked it when we messed with the manifest file.

damn, can you give me more details? What system are you on? Where did you install Exult and Exult Studio to and do both not work when run from there directly? When you try to start them, does anything at all get written to the std files in C:\Users\Dubbins\AppData\Local\Exult\? I'm pretty sure your ...

hmm, that shouldn't happen and again, that works for me. Have you installed both Exult and Exult Studio in that new folder?

did you try the very last snapshot of Exult?
I'll try to see if I can get it to crash with more tries!

Sorry for taking so long, but I only now had time to test it. But it works for me on both macOS and Windows. Can you try with the latest Windows snapshot and if that also fails, can you try with a new game *and* a fresh patch folder (rename your old one). And if it still crashes for you can you give...

So it works with 1.8?
I‘ll try to track it down.

you can try if you find a chest or door with that quality... (in ES select a shape and hit locate and enter quality) (edited the bug post)

Bugs go into the issue tracker at github https://github.com/exult/exult/issues

BUT YOU NEED TO STOP FINDING MORE!!!

Seriously for usecode bugs we could use another tracker

Thanks! We were asked to make an all-in-one installer but as we‘ve been around now for a while this seemed very wasteful (with snapshots being released on each day that new code gets pushed).
Being able to just add these as downloadable „modules“ was a good alternative and I like that much more.

Great to see you back nitpicking

oooh, look nice SMKSMK

thank you.
I've also written you a private mail, in case it got lost in the spam folder.

hmm, that looks nice, but I don't remember where it was shown or if it is in any mod.

But going higher than the original game area is a personal choice, same with window res.

As it’s not really useful for playing we have only some few defaults for game area. And the defaults for the resolutions were capped with a commit and reported as a bug by me in https://github.com/exult/exult/issues/105 What you can also use is game area=auto this will/should use the full resolution...

Thanks, I‘ll try it out. Might even be a usecode bug

No that should work fine. I'll see if I can reproduce your problems and file a bug. Thanks for testing and reporting back. This really helps! We changed some stuff because of the Android port since 1.8 and it seems to cause problems for Windows versions of the snapshots.

Hmm, it might be problem caused by us lately. Can you try the last release of Exult (1.8)?

Initgame.dat is required if you delete that a lot will not work.
Have you updated the keyring mod as well?

Wheeee!!! Great that it works now!

I think I got it now. It's the difference between /Library/... and ~/Library/... . You placed the mod data in ~/Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle/mods but it needs to be in /Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle/mods
See http://exult.info/docs.php#default_macos

Ok, let’s see what is happening. Can you start the exult binary by right clicking on the exult.app, select „show package“ and then doubleclick „exult“ in the contents/macos folder. Terminal will pop up and show our log messages while Exult starts. Please copy and paste the content here once Exult sh...

yeah, big mods with changes to the map are hardly mergeable

If you have SI installed into /serpentisle then the mod needs to go into the mod folder of that, not serpent isle.
It’s only correctly installed if the mods menu option is there

To get him back add him in our cheat screen: - enable cheats - hit f2 (to enter cheat screen), n (npc tool), 4 (which NPC?), n (NPC flags), i (Party), 3x ESC to quit the cheat screen Yes, that quicksave is "volatile" is kind of intentional. Because loading works by extracting the save file...

As in that old bug I can reproduce it with your savegame but not when I get him killed again. It's curios that his job answer is the one from being in the party.
Do you know where he got killed and/or can you upload a savegame before he got killed?

That‘s gonna be a hatd task, merge the usecode files, meaning all the single usecode stuff in the mods‘ sources and then go about merging the graphics but that’s gonna be much harder as they will likely take the same spots. Then manually changing the map, adding the NPCs etc.

Damn that writer of the documentation!!!
Use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exult ... ltkeys.txt copy/paste it as a text file and point to it in exult.cfg

You can try whether upping the fps better masks the problem.

No, that's not supported. You'd need to merge them via their respective sources.

Ultima VII turns 30 - Exult releases version 1.8 as per the frontpage, a new version was released today to celebrate Ultima VII's 30th birthday!!! Including an Android release! Please, let us know if there are any problems! All downloads can be found on our downloads page. Except in case you need a ...

that's what I think, too. And no, we do not handle very large resolutions satisfyingly. We will eventually need to render gumps and mouse pointers independently of the resolution.

No, sometimes this, sometimes that

Just checked and green cheese is not for Sherry in the original as well.

I suspect it's a usecode check and that should show in the original as well. I'll see if I can verify this later today.

Yes, most of the times just tooooooo slow... It's a problem created by SF to hinder hosting anything on their site :( Anyway, I'm now applying at tuxfamily.org for hosting. It's not easy to find free hosting for a project. I wouldn't mind having to pay a bit but that's not future proof, because what...

The telescope is fixed in Exult master code for iOS, so by extension for the Android port as well. I hope some other developer of Exult can look through the changes and soon greenlight a merge!

And it's in the code. Marzo confirmed my findings.

I might have solved this finally https://github.com/exult/exult/issues/153

New snapshot with the fix is up. This lead me to - compare with the original and realize that the fire fields need a burn mark on the floor - realize that the fire fields the liches create were off (crazy flashing flickering) -> tried some code which Marzo did correctly :) Which only made us realize...

I've looked into it and monsters shouldn't be able to teleport or summon something without line of sight. I wrote a quick fix that really needs a second opinion

https://github.com/exult/exult/issues/148

can you give some good test cases (savegames *before* entering their "domain" and coordinates) so I can do some research?

Snapshot with a fix is up! Thanks again, it's really helpful to find these bugs/regressions.

And it's online now

The snapshot in question has not been uploaded to the SF page yet

The snapshots are automatically released nightly (when there were code changes) on github, but need to be manually copied over…

Thanks a lot, you unearthed a bad bug

With some bisecting I found the culprit https://github.com/exult/exult/issues/140
