Ok, got it. Seems my spam filter was overreacting

I'll contact you via email then and hopefully we figure sth out.

alagner

No worries. Just take your time and please drop me a line when you're ready.

Best wishes from Bangkok

Linux and BSD are all fine and seems that my bug encounter was a random thing. Could you please point me to a Vbox image with MacOS that is capable of reproducing it (or at least some reliable tutorial how to virtualize it, as I'm having some problems with that ;) )? If not... is the audio thread ev...

alagner

Just for the record: bug is normally not reproducible on any modern linux due to PulseAudio providing the dummy output (tried Arch, Devuan and Slackware). Gonna try FreeBSD tomorrow.

alagner

The problem is recreating it. Devuan Jessie X64 again, no sound card in VM, exits fine. (from gdb) OGG Vorbis Digital Music: Disabled Trying: `FMOpl' Success!

Ok, I'll try it with a fresh soundless Linux install then, thanks.

alagner

So this ugly little guy has just bitten me on Devuan Jessie x64 VM... Too bad, I was not able to recreate it after restarting the machine. Simply disabling the soundcard in VirtualBox does not work. Any clues how to recreate this bug? https://sourceforge.net/p/exult/bugs/1922/ http://log.usecode.org...

alagner

I guess we're not talking about the same thing here. The option you've mentioned is the one that allows the track to be repeated when it ends, right? I mean this (checked with DosBox), the very beginning of the game: enter the stables: you get "mystery" (or whatever it's called) track. Ent...

alagner

Ok, done.

BTW, pull requests seem much more "gitish" (and thus consistent with the whole repo) way, I think I'll try those when commiting next code (unless you'll prefer it otherwise).

Have a nice weekend

alagner

Just to make things clear: I've finally found some time to fiddle around with Exult's code. At the moment I going through the bugtracker, for example I think I managed to implement a fix for this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/exult/bugs/1936/ What should I do in such case? Register on SF and provid...

Update: Grepping for this class on Linux showed that it's located in the npcdollinf.cc. So after a quick check...it's not in the project. Yup, it is in the project tree, bu VS reports that the file npcdollinf.cc can not be found. Seems a long run before me to port it to newest VS, wish me luck ;) Re...

I'm trying to compile Exult with MSVC 2013 Community Edition. After removing MSVC version error message, including and messing around with include paths (most errors relate to shape/shapeinf folder, probably due to the way the project is imported) I got stuck on Paperdoll_npc class listed as undefin...

alagner

Ok, so the news is: tried to cross compile yesterdays snapshot, but for win32, i686-w64-mingw32-gcc complains about WinMain16 or sth like that while trying to link -lmingw. W/O this switch, it complains about SDL_main. Googling it led me to SDL page, where it states, that there is sth wrong with mai...

alagner

Exactly.

alagner

And params for configure were --with-vorbis=/home/alagner/vorbis
--with-ogg=/home/alagner/ogg

alagner

Tried both of it. I have even compiled vorbis and ogg from source and put them in my home dir (~/vorbis and ~/ogg respectively). Paths in makefiles seem ok

alagner

One more thing - what's the problem with vorbis/codec.h not existing? I tried passing vorbis paths to configure manually, but the only thing I've got is: ./../audio/Midi.h:25:26: fatal error: vorbis/codec.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [bggame.lo] Error 1 make[2]: ...

alagner

First of all, after some pause from U7, I'm glad to return here and see Exult's still alive. But on topic: I'm trying to build the latest snapshot, configure sees the cross compiler correctly (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc from Linaro) and everything seems to go fine until (I got PL locale, so I translate...

alagner

I'm against random loot. There's already too much loot to gather and a lot of places to explore. Really, when playing with a full party you don't have enough place for all the magic stuff that can be found if you really visit every cave possible.

alagner

I highly doubt anyone has ever found that key. ;]
Same thing about some chests in Despise I believe.

alagner

320x240 scaled twice imho. 400x300, also with 2x scaler seemed pretty reasonable too.

>There CAN be plot stopping problems. We haven't tested out everything and as written in the faq in SI you can wreak havoc by using/taking items from too far away Yup, especially SI is vulnerable here. And due to the game's engine and the way some rooms and items are placed, seeing too much may just...

Oops, I haven't noticed the date. Sorry

I'm from Bytom, Poland. And on the language related topic: >>>>English are derived from French >>Actually, that's not quite correct. French is derived from Latin, while English was just greatly influenced by Latin. That's why English grammar is still quite different to French one. Hacki, I'm not a h...

>glass swords (IIRC) deal lightning damage
AFAIR stone harpy can be killed with glass sword. Black Sword worked also fine, but I'm unsure here [but not its death ability]
Are there any more stone harpies in the game beside the one in Spektran, btw?

>No coincidence. Bethesda's Todd Howard is a big fan of Ultima. Nice to hear [or rather read] that. Seems Ultima is one of the most underappreciated crpg series nowadays. Judging from what I observed [no statistics here, so I may be wrong] most people associate Ultima with "nerdy kids playing U...

>But personaly, I doubt a game such as Ultima 7 is possible anymore. Back then games were relatively simple so devs could take their time perfecting evreything.

>the music! I remember that the extremely sad/funerary music following Dupre's sacrifice really sent a shiver down my spine. Yeah, imho that's certainly one of the best tracks in gaming history ever. But when it comes to a more general discussion about SI I'd rather say that the most disturbing mome...

alagner

I've reported that already some time ago.
Looks like it happens mostly when you ask Jaana to use her healing powers the way it worked in the original, instead of having a spell cast, at least that's what I've observed.

alagner

Yeah, it's a bug of SI istelf, not Exult.

>'gelæd' is the word that became 'lead', as in 'do not lead us into temptation'. You recognize the 'lead' in 'gelæd', and the 'ge' typically used in germanic languages. I see, thanks for explaining that. BTW - can you remommend any book on that topic, or should I just get Beowulf with modern English...

*never played U8 w/o Pentagram.

Sorry for double posting

alagner

Pentagram works pretty much fine. I finished U8 more-less a year ago using it and the only major [but not game stopping, to be precise] problem was the fact, that during cutscenes in the docks [for example - beginning of the game] the engine acts like it should remove roofs for 'inside building' vie...

alagner

>And you thought Shakespeare was hard to read!

Gosh, I wish I had taken "Old English" as an optional course during my university studies

I had no such opportunity, unfortunately.

But - just guessing - does 'gelæd' mean gold?

alagner

BTW - does Cador appear in any earlier Ultima?
I'm asking because TDI said "Wrong Ultima?". Was it a reference to previous part of the series, or just a mistake?

alagner

And a little more on the topic: I don't have 1.2 installed at the moment, but as far as I remember "consecration ritual" [credit goes to Doug The Eagle

http://it-he.org/ - check it out if you don't know it, btw] works pretty much the same as in the original, at least it seems so.

>>I just scored a mint V and VI for $20 each on ebay last week!!!
Forget my old Ultima Collection CD I got my cloth maps back!!!

Man, I wish shipping was cheaper

BTW - what's up with Lazarus forums? Are they down completely?

>>finally I learned he could be killed with a death bolt spell, but I think your intelligence had to be a certain level and it had to be after midnight or something strange like that..

>I am planning to involve at least one thing from Ultima 9. Be very afraid.

Poisoned bread?
Either way, I'm afraid. Very afraid.

>>VII doesn't have cannons on ships. What does the enemy do? Attack the hull with corkscrews?

What about sea dragons [or serpents, or whatever they are called] and tentacles?

alagner

>Exult is so cool, even the bugs are awesome!

And now more seriously - how about implementing such possibility? I.e. to sink ships, fight sea battles etc.?

alagner

Isn't also the abandoned mine near Minoc supposed to be Covetous?

>>I know you did, I was agreeing with you. I was just trying to pin down exactly what strings needed to be fixed. Ok, great that everything's clear now. >>What do you mean by "completing" the real Despise? AFAIR in Despise there's a sort of intersection, where from you can get to certain p...

alagner

>>First off, one of the "Despises" *is* named dungeon Shame, it's just the wrong one. I know, that the 'flying carpet entrance' should be Shame [as in previous Ultimas]. But I believe there's no in-game reference to Shame at all. By renaming I meant changing Shamino's words "This is D...

alagner

Makes me wonder - is it possible to fix this in some mod? I mean renaming one of the "Despises" to Shame.
How about including that into Keyring Mod?

alagner

Paulon, did you get out of Trinsic legally, or cheat-teleported out? For some odd reason I had the same problem while cheating, and it wasn't present at all while playing normally. Under XP

alagner

Abandonware is not a clear term I'm afraid. It's generally sth illegal but no one would care... I bought U7 as well as many other games just because of the respect towards Origin (R.I.P.) and their job. But another thing makes me wonder - isn't it just nice to have a cd box in your hands, a nice clo...
