Exult Forum

Sorry about missing this thread. I haven't been active in the forums or online much. @Mark77 I just uploaded SI BG Merge version 6.9 , and it will be around for~30 days. Dominus wrote some directions in the documentation @KC It would take a lot of effort to include this with Exult. You are free to u...

I haven't looked at it for a long time so I don't know what, if anything, is out of date. It has been almost 7 years. I know I modified Exult for cstat gumps and for doors that go in more directions. Some other things are also likely done that way. I'd also need to better organize the order. I'm not...

I noticed it used to be on the site and was going to have you ask him for me. Thanks for getting the files and hosting them.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize version 0.12 wasn't in my backup. I have older versions available. I am trying to see if Dominus has a copy.

Sorry, I missed this post. There are some utility functions in some of the mods. This one has some from Alun Bestor's Quests and Interactions. Marzo should have some utility code in SI Fixes.

I decided to make an untested fix for Marzo to look at for SI Fixes. The hostile reaction will still trigger if carrying the frame 8 leopard rug or somehow carry a water tile.

It is only coded for Bwundiai, but there are 2 wrong checks in Bwundiai's usecode. It looks for the wrong fur pelt frame and uses a water tile instead of the cloak's shape number. extern void delayedBark 0x97F (var npc, var bark, var delay); extern var npcNearbyAndVisible 0x942 (var npc); extern var...

The fire sfx is terrible. It is purposely not implemented. See this.

There was a change where it now supports more than one installed version of the game and detects whether it has the expansion or not. Replace -bg with -fov or -si with -ss if you have the expansion installed.

Magic gremlins are immune to the magic damage type.

Unfortunately, it seems that there are several other things that will be done before this gets implemented. In the meantime, you can still test out shapes by replacing them with the originals.

For the GIMP plugin? Just cancel and it will use the default palette.

You seem to be using an old version of the source (Jan 2013). Download this.

Yes. Look at README.MacOSX.

I do not recommend using the really old release candidate. We have since fixed a major bug that stopped us from having a release. Here is a link to the current source.

Edit: I just added std:: to a few lines in the source.

Try putting "std::"in front of "ptrdiff_t" on U7obj.h line 144 and databuf.h line 306.

Code: Select all

"ptrdiff_t length;" changes to "std::ptrdiff_t length;"

return (buf_ptr - buf) >= static_cast(size);
changes to
return (buf_ptr - buf) >= static_cast(size);

I made a partial patch and created a feature request tracker for Marzo to finish after we convert to Git. https://sourceforge.net/p/exult/feature-requests/173/

They are all hard coded. It might not be too hard to de hard code. I'm not sure where all the changes would need to be at the moment.

SI BG Merge version 6.9

SI BG Merge was never complete and some usecode may not work because of updates over the years. I have uploaded version 6.8 and the patch together as version 6.9 (I have no idea why I dropped "0." from later releases).

Yes, those qualities should use the original shape 0x282 and work fine. 0x282 handles 0-99 and 180-255. 0x638 handles 100-179 if you do not make changes to shape_info.txt.

It should be Book.higherBookQualities(); Unfortunately, the specific settings Exult is using overwrites the general setting I posted. You would need to add :642/-1/150/0/642 instead to overwrite that quality. You could just use the following instead of messing with shape_info.txt every time you use ...

extern void higherBookQualities object#(0x638)();
should get rid of the warning. It's been a long time since I've done much of anything with usecode.

I just posted what Exult uses by default earlier. Remove all of that section and add :642/-1/-1/0/642 This should stop the original behavior and use your book usecode. You should be able to add something like this to your code to still get the original higher quality books. extern void higherBookQua...

The original game hacked function 1592 into books with quality 100 - 179 (and perhaps higher in the original, but Exult only handles these). data/bg/shape_info.txt has that hack dehardcoded. %%section frame_usecode # # Frame- and quality-dependent usecode. This is used only for books in standard BG/...

You should be able to use Exult Studio to open the shape files with GIMP by selecting edit without having to save as shp first. I don't think I ever got it to work in the newer versions of GIMP.

Shift-F3 writes a Minimap. You might need to do it on each map.

Dominus, if I remember correctly, Exult Studio itself has several files with SDL 2 update issues.

I think you might need to always start the game in map edit mode to prevent deletion of the egg. You might be able to fix it by writing down the egg information and then creating a new one there. You probably need to move the Avatar to that spot and set his don't render flag. I'm not sure about the ...

Mass might isn't permanent. It should last a minute or two. Exult was bugged to where it would never wear off if you saved while under might effects and reloaded. This bug will be fixed when the snapshot gets updated. Advancing time through a cheat or rest doesn't change timers in Exult or the origi...

Higher ac is better. A pair of rings of protection give you 4 ac. Magic gauntlets give you 3.

I wrote a bit about palettes here.

For some reason, however, the blade is not visible in my hands when equipped and the attack frames are also not visible. You can check the In-hand offset in the Object tab. Each frame has a different offset. Also make sure you have the correct Origin. Origin is one of the reason's you should use sh...

This bug should be fixed in the latest snapshot. Thanks to Marzo.

I've changed the topic title so it could be more easily understood.

Paperdoll info is in the flx file for each game. You can use ES to edit the data or manually do it by following the examples in the paperdol_info.txt files . The default Gimp folder was "GIMP-2.0" until they changed it. You probably need to run the installer as an admin or install it to gi...

The audio problem with sfx and speech repeating is fixed in revision 7459. It was surprisingly easy. I basically have no chance to implement a real fix for the graphical issue.

Were there opponents they couldn't reach?

You make it sound like the companions never go back and finish off the unconscious opponents. They attack unconscious targets again once all conscious opponents are taken care of.

This is fixed. The snapshot should be updated soon.

Use ctrl-F5 to refresh the page, and it will show the correct time. I asked WJP in IRC if he can do anything about the page update issue.

The bug first started at 9-29 and most people don't report bugs. This will be fixed when the snapshot gets updated (r7437).

This is fixed in the latest snapshot (r7436). This is an old bug that has probably always happened. UI_remove_item removes the contents if it deletes a container. Exult wasn't doing that.

That was a bug I accidentally introduced Feb 25, 2011 when I updated after a change to npc alignments. This is now fixed and will work in the next snapshot (r7435). The download should be updated later today. Most people probably don't use those weapons so no one noticed it. They have always sucked ...

In exult.cfg, you need to point to GIMP. Below is one example of where it could be. C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.8 I think gimp-win-remote (gimp-remote on other OSs) might have been needed a long time ago but calling GIMP directly seems to work fine. Windows with the bin already in the path ...

Some more about the screen issue is here edit: I forgot that exultbot and usecode.org were down for parts of the conversation. I think Colourless and wjp mentioned it looked like an 8bit (surface or palette?) being written to a 32 bit buffer. (force_bpp cfg setting will show correctly but isn't real...

The icon has a black background in Windows.

The game area and screen size being equal causes the previously mentioned scale=1 game rendering issue.

Exult only scales gumps like books if scaling is done for the entire screen. You can increase the scaling which will unfortunately lower the size of the game area.

Yeah, sfx and speech still cause issues.
The icon has the wrong palette in Windows too but doesn't crash anymore. (If you don't set an icon in Windows. it looks better than the white palette but has thicker outlines than normal.)

Thanks, for the work so far.

Game area auto works when scale = 1 if aspect correction is enabled. SetIcon crashes when calling SDL_SetPaletteColors. #0 0x77c46fa3 in msvcrt!memcpy () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll #1 0x6c7d6614 in SDL_SetPaletteColors () from C:\exult_bin\SDL2.dll (gdb) Edit: Wow, sound is horrible except ...

I haven't looked into the game area issue but it only seems broken when scale = 1. Image_window::create_surface and Image_window::create_scale_surfaces are called when toggling fullscreen or applying video settings. They will create a new window instead of overriding the current one or destroying th...
