O k, this one has nothing to do with Exult/Ultima VII, but since I got no response at Vogons phorums I decided to try my luck here just in case. Please accept my apologies if you consider this as being heretical and/or off-topic. I've been playing Ultima III (Ultima Collection DOS version) as of la...

*Zósite looks Dominus with a glimpse of madness in his keen bug-hunting eyes*

- S-S-Stop?! You MUST be a bug yourself! Somebody fix him, quick!! O_x

Ok, I'll do as suggested, thank you.

Zosite

Back in the day I posted many bug reports at SF bug tracker. Most of them are already fixed but there are few which are still running, yet they appear as either "closed-fixed" or "closed-won't fix". I can live with "closed-won't fix" but for those "closed-fixed&quo...

I think the option yes/no was implemented on exult.cfg long ago and it's now the default behaviour. Try the latest snapshot and you'll see. I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about but it sounds so, and if you were still using 1.1.10rc2 it makes sense. And yes, it's been a long time indeed (...

Zosite

Since it's not related to my previous topic I opened a new thread for this one. Marzo, do you plan to integrate the tiny (yet useful) usecode fix which is the Rankin patch into your Keyring mod? I'm asking because I don't know how to integrate it manually since using a "patch" subfolder un...

Zosite

Ah, splendid, thank you! Indeed, that will be the perfect fix. ^_^

Zosite

I suppose this one is for Marzo. Seems the Avatar Pack is no longer working unless under the Keyring mod. I'm using latest win32 snapshots for both Exult (03-22-2016) and the Avatar Pack (03-13-2016) and if installed (following instructions to the letter) under either SI or SI + SIfixes it doesn't w...

Zosite

H ehehe... as Dominus explains (he made it clear to me too some time ago) Exult doesn't use the original code hence why this particular bug can't be that annoying original one we all suffered back in the day. However, that article forgets to mention how funny was whenever you noticed that your stuf...

Zosite

Definitely. Thanks. ^_^u

Zosite

Y eah, that one. And it's indeed true that it gets even more horrible if you keep wandering through Britain and specially Lord British's Castle. Since Exult doesn't exactly use the original game's engine, I wouldn't expect an identical bug. I wish... I think you must be right there, but I haven't b...

Zosite

Well , large inventories *seemed* to somehow trigger THAT original bug, but maybe it's only that large inventories made it to go skyrocket and too obvious while the bug itself is related to something completely different... Batlin knows... :___P Of course, I have no doubt that if the current bug it...

Zosite

Y eah, but... then again, the disappearing objects bug due to large inventories ALSO HAPPENS ON THE ORIGINAL GAME . Therefore, no matter what version you play it will be there 'till this splendid team finally find how to fix it. Unless we're talking about a different bug only present in the Exult c...

Zosite

Aaaargh... now is when I really miss all those savegames from 1999-2002. They would be of little help for the Exult project for they were original files but, who knows? Unearthing the bug in the original code could be the key after all... :__(

Zosite

H ere, another poor fella who found it by... ahem... cooking! http://bootstrike.com/Ultima/Online/bugs.html Scroll down to Ultima 7 BG bugs section. Then again it seems the bug is triggered when you you have too many objects belonging to you no matter where they are nor what they are, although I st...

Zosite

I s not ANY *full* container thingy but MANY *full* container thingies. When it happened to me I had about 10 BARRELS'o'cash plus several chests of reagents, food, scrolls, ammo... hidden on a lonely island inside a cave with many invisible traps laying around (yes, I'm THAT insane). Not to mention...

Zosite

Ummm... it's not about the backpacks, for I almost ALWAYS go with them to the top. It's more about *those* barrels/chests/boat/secret-cavern-you-think-you're-the-only-one-to-know-which-keeps-your-secrets holding all your treasure and/or gem collection; all them "belong" to your character a...

Zosite

U mmmm... I remember that disappearing objects bug for it also happened to me playing the original game. After looking for either a fix or at least a "why" I came up to some explanations around the net; seems it's related with the number of objects (gold piles included) stored inside cont...

Zosite

Hi Jesus! I´m spanish like you (don´t ask me where Moonlightshadow is; es una laaarga historia... ) [:-D) You always could purchase Ultima Collection on eBay as I did and then you´ll have the expansions. Yes, Exult will work with spanish U7 but face it: -Spanish Serpent Isle is 1.02 version and not ...

Zosite

Good work DrCode!! [:-D) It´s good to be able to change combat difficult without exiting the game (to make it harder of course: VERY easy with normal mode). "Show hits" feature is interesting and "pause combat" is simply an excellent idea: using it instead of combat modes (they´r...

Zosite

You´re right about your "cosmetic problems" Dag. I´m going to reopen the bug 640393:"Spellbook numbers don´t glow". Although the first complain could be some pedantic the second problem is actually annoying... And so far! The page-turning doesn´t work as in the original U7 since ...

Zosite

It occurs with Exult 1.1x as well. In the original U7 you can´t keep a lit torch in any container unless you extinguish it first ( neither you can´t light it when it´s already in a container, but here Exult works right ) , which seems to be more logical in order to prevent the Avatar and his compani...

Zosite

... Well, ejem... Does it mean it can be fixed, WJP? Now Exult 1.00 has been released and I´m using the 1.1x but the problem is still there... Should I reopen the bug report?

Zosite

I´m going to reopen the bug report about "using the wrong bed"... Now, with the 1.1x snapshots, the animated sequence showing the Avatar walking to bed stops before he can reach it if it´s far from him. And when one of the companions asks for the hour of awakening his/her portrait doesn´t ...

Or maybe there is some cheat that allows you to simply move them out - I don't know...

Using the hourglass in BG to resurrect?! [:-º) Is it possible?... It seems doubtful...

Zosite

You´re right DrCode. I´ve just added the page-turning animation issue to the same bug report. [center]*Zósite´s deactivating the time bomb that came within the ownership of the bug tracker while reading its message: "A little present for giving us so many funny hours fixing bugs. The Exult Team...

Zosite

Nevermind Dominus: the numbers didn´t appear in my spellbook just because I was wandering around with the "Arch-Wizard" mode enabled so I could cast spells without reagents and the spellbook couldn´t register any "available" spell. I toggled it off and bought some reagents and th...

Zosite

Thanks Gruck! So I´m thinking that if I can´t see these numbers in Exult it could be related to.... ehhh, hehehe.... ejem! *cough* ... Well, I´ll try to moderate myself in the use of that "Arch-Wizard" mode which can make you to forgive how important reagents are when casting spells... [:-...

Zosite

I´ve noticed that the Spellbook on the original U7 had some little blinking numbers next to each spell, except for the lineal spells ( Awake, Help, etc...). In Exult those numbers aren´t there and only a blank spot remains. What were those numbers for? Where are they in Exult? Hehe... Now that I´ve ...

Zosite

Casting "Recall" while travelling with carpet, ship or cart is horrible indeed. [:-() In the original U7 this spell only teleports you without corrupting the game as Exult does. I´m going to submit a bug report ( >Well, even for something that can be avoided by just not doing it, I think i...

Zosite

>Another question then. Where is the key to open the chest that's in the dining room in Serpent's Hold?

I remember opening that chest with a key found in the chest over the great "X" on the jungle (49N 136E). Odd, isn´t it? [:-))

Zosite

I´ve the 1.1x branch too and it works for me. Be sure to leave the credit roll to the end without using mouse or keyboard until the SI menu displays again.

Zosite

You didn´t submit any bug report for this, David... Anyway; I´ve tried it with the 1.1x for Windows XP and it works for me: the prism appears on the floor in front of the crashed huge tetrahedron. [:-))

Zosite

"""Dear""" Lord G: I´ve just returned to this phorum after a few days... and I´ve said your post which has filled me with hope. What the hell are you waiting for to release Exult 50.00 bug-free?!! I´d be grateful to see it! Oh! Some Ultima X would be cool as well. And I...

Zosite

>I remember gazers shooting death bolts originally. They were a pain to fight. But yea, some shot paralysing bolts too. And they did stop you instead of just damaging. You´re right MV. They shoot death bolts too in the original. And, more trouble, I´ve noticed that in the 1.00 ( perhaps in the 1.1x ...

Zosite

Well, since almost all caltrops are actually invisible in the original, I´m going to submit a bug report if nobody complains about.

Zosite

You´re right Blah! My fanatical adhesion to U7 and to the Exult project compels me to second Dino´s motion. [:-))

Zosite

[center] A t last the day has come!! The day when the efforts of 4 years have crystallized in Exult 1.00. You, members from Exult Team, have somehow done a miracle for us.

Zosite

It sounds very plausible, WJP!! Thanks! [:-D)
How could it be solved then ( if it can be solved )? As far as I know I´m not the only user suffering this problem.

Zosite

Ejem!... More help to solve the "very-little-blinking-lines-that-flurry-graphics-under-cursor" would be appreciated, if it´s possible.

Zosite

Yujuuu!! Will anybody do something about this problem? I´m waiting for an answer, even for a refusing one... [:-|)

Zosite

You´re right Dominus!! It sounds very promising! [:-D)

Zosite

Well, it´s better to be sure... I´m going to submit a bug report about this "stupid" thing and will assign it the less priority ( Just wondering how these ones can be found!! )... [:-o)

Zosite

Oh yes!! That was a good one. But in the Spanish version the word "plate" on Mordra´s book was translated as "plato" which actually means "dish" instead of "placa" which means "plate" so it´s difficult to discover the joke even reading the book. It´s...

Hmmm, I remember Rankin asking me to find Balayna´s murderer ( the person who sold him the liquor ) though I didn´t find him anyway. But this was in the Spanish version.
