Re: Failure to start Keyring (or the other included mods) with crash to desktop.

Cool!! I'm delighted I could be of some help.
I tried to do all the research and experimenting I know how to accomplish on my own to take some of the load off you all.
Didn't try to file a bug since there was an excellent chance it was all my fault :).

Re: The avatar can't walk worth anything.

I've been having a similar issue: game will be moving along normally, then moving becomes jerky and very slow. If I stand still, the game seems more or less normal. Sometimes goes back to normal on it's own after a few seconds, othertimes I have to save and reload. Noticed a few coincidences: often ...

Re: Failure to start Keyring (or the other included mods) with crash to desktop.

Yes, I can and will. Might take me a day or two to do and test, but I can always use the practice. Do have one question about that, tho: If I wanted to have more than one install of Exult on my rig, wouldn't they both be forming and writing to the same folders and files in appdata\local? Is there a ...

Re: Failure to start Keyring (or the other included mods) with crash to desktop.

Ok, after some sleep it occured to me that the common factor is that Exult is unable to read the initgame.dat files for any of the mods, even tho it apparently did just fine reading the 'same' files for the two base games. ( or does it even have to read those?) I did notice that for the base games t...

Re: Failure to start Keyring (or the other included mods) with crash to desktop.

What I actually did was rename the initgame.dat in the Keyring folder to initgame.datOLD. All the files in the Keyring Data folder were the ones installed when I installed the latest snapshot of Exult. So far, the game has being playing fine with no crashes for hours, and with no functional initgame...

Solved (apparently)

With further research in our forum I discovered that initgame.dat is not required to start a game and can be deleted. So I trashed the one in the Keyring Mod folder. Keyring started up just fine after that and seems to play without errors (so far). So..... Why did I have to do that? Why was there a ...

Re: [Bug?] Can't press wall buttons

Thought it over and suspect I'd be happier if TK couldn't pierce walls. It makes it too much like a game-world hack_move.
Ahhh, but what about walls with windows that open? Nah, you can't talk to someone through a window either.

Failure to start Keyring (or the other included mods) with crash to desktop.

Have a little problem here that is beyond my ability to troubleshoot. Any help and advice would be very greatly appreciated!! Three or four years ago I played Keyring a lot, messed around with Studio, and had a lot of fun on my older rig. Upgraded my rig, wanted to get back into U7, and installed fr...
