Exult Forum

Well well, looks like the reason was that I tried to download the snapshot while it was still being uploaded... But anyway, thanks to the person that sent me the working .exe

And AGAIN I keep getting these error messages (The setup files are corrupted). What the hell is this???

Nevermind, finally managed to download and install successfully

I have now tried to download the latest snapshot four times, all four times I've gotten an error message saying that the file is corrupted. If somebody has successfully been able to download and install this snapshot, could they please e-mail me the working .exe file?

The forum has been rather slow lately, and there has been few new snaphots - is this possibly a sign of something big on the horizon? (A new snapshot with Crysta Elf's new art, or possibly even an "official" 1.4 release?)

So when can we expect to see a Snapshot including these improvements?

Dominus:

Yeah, you've got a point there. The way it is now, however, she asks you EVERY time...

Does anyone know of any unused usecode in Black Gate (similar to e.g. the curing of Cantra in Serpent Isle)?

Only SERIOUS replies to this thread wanted in the future

[edit by wjp: calm down...]

Some suggestions for things that someone might want to fix: 1) After you've talked to Raymundo at the theatre, and accepted his offer for an audition, Gaye asks you if you want to buy an Avatar costume every time you visit her, even after you've auditioned with Raymundo - wouldn't it make more sense...

I am pretty certain that you're wrong

When we're on the topic of teleporting, would it be possible to expand this cheat by either showing sextant coordinates on the teleport map (provided you have a sextant, of course) or by expanding the F2 cheat menu to enable you to move to a certain location?

Thanks!

How the heck do you teleport in Exult?

Loaded up a game with the latest snapshot.. Just outside Trinsic, the party was attacked by an alligator. And afterwards, the Avatar's dagger was gone! Wasn't this supposed to be fixed??

One thing that would be nice would be if you either 1) made the Avatar wear a backpack from the start or 2) put a backpack within his supplies in the storeroom

Has there been a fix to the "Gwenno problem" yet?

Well I don't have the Ultima Collection guide either (it does not seem to be available anywhere...)

I just found copies of the original hintbooks for Black Gate and Serpent Isle available second-hand from Amazon. I am ordering them mostly for their value as collector's items (already have the original Origin hintbooks for Ultima VI and Underworld I+II, and the PRIMA hintbook for Ultima IX), but st...

Gradilla: That's a point, of course. But we seem to have people here that are rather good with paperdolls and stuff

They will most likely be put in one of the next snaphots

Will the most recent updates (ie the Avatar costumes, Spark's new paperdoll) be put in a Snapshot soon?

Do the version from ESguides.com need to be updated too, Marzo?

In Hacki's nitpicks for Black Gate, it says that Nastassia's portrait in U7 looks extremely similar to Katrina's in U6.
Would it be possible to swap Katrina's and Nastassia's portraits in BG to rectify this?

Maybe it was the snapshot I used that had the problem then... At least, my experience was that when I went to the Murder scene, everybody was standing outside the sawmill also after I talked to them, and didn't return to their "set" schedule. This made it very difficult to advance the plot...

So would it be possible to put back such an egg in Exult?

Repost to clarify things: In Exult, after you've investigated the Murder Scene in Minoc, the people standing outside the sawmill (ie Elynor, Julia etc) remain standing there for hours... However, in the original Black Gate, I am pretty certain that they return to their normal locations and schedules...

Probably. I don't think I've ever encountered it in Exult (encountered it a few times too many in the original BG tho :-/).
Still, I am pretty certain that the witnesses (ie the people standing outside the sawmill when you arrive in Minoc) behave differently in Exult than they do in the original BG?

Windows 98 is ancient anyway... If your computer is really old, and not up to running XP, at least try to get hold of a Windows 2000 License...

Oh, I dunno... I think the most realistic thing would be that either 1) The witnesses return to their ordinary schedule as soon as the Avatar enters the scene (except Elynor and the Mayor) or 2) The Witnesses return to their ordinary schedule as soon as the avatar has talked to Elynor (To be honest ...

Is it possible to change the flag at the Minoc murder scene so that the witnesses return to their "standard" locations after you talk to Elynor (which I think is how it was in the original BG) - the way it is now, they seem to remain at the murder site for ages, making it difficult to adva...
