Exult Forum

Figured it out. I was using a combination of the published sound effects files and a trunk build - I believe this caused a CRC failure as Exult launched. I had worked around it my my specific SI and BG shortcuts by specifying --nocrc. That's why double clicking exult.exe failed. I moved everything t...

@Dominus - not a bad idea, but any subsequent login would be missing the Exult.cfg file. My thinking was that the patch would get Windows users up to speed for v1.4.X and that the configuration system could be overhauled (ie/ use Pentagram's system) at some point in the future (1.5x or whatever) - c...

One other question... should I move the rest of this discussion to the email list? I imagine the 'default' behavior should be figured out before implementation.

I'm advocating the use of the normal per-user/per-machine folders by default, but it seemed as though others disagree.

@Marzo, @All - sorry about the snide comments. I was feeling a mixture of excitement about wanting to help, frustration that I spent a few hours trying to get Exult to work on Windows 7, and frustrated that I had 2 or 3 other patches for Pentagram sitting in the queue for what seems like two years n...

I noticed a problem/bug with this too. I had to hack move the gate away before I could get access to transform him back..

Interesting little thing to note about this.... the book in the library states the hierophant had the key of fire and went for walks in the garden, and the person with the key of ice frequented the baths/pool.... yet the hierophant corpse in the garden has the ice key and the one in the pool has the...

Same problem here (with the 1.1 beta), this is definately a plot-stopper bug

Has anyone thought about providing the ability to write notes in a journal, right in exult? Alot of 'hardcore' Ultima people keep journals, but I always end up loosing the papers all over the house. Sure would be nice to keep notes right in exult itself... I also noticed a bug with the 1.1 branch, i...
