trouble with Zaurus
I would love some help setting up ultima 7 on my Zaurus. How do I transfer the files to the right directories? DO I cut and paste em from my computer? Do I zip em up on my pc and use a unzip program to target my /mnt/cf/exult-data directory?
I had tried to make a directory called "exult-data" in my "/mnt/cf" but it kept saying failure of some kind. I would appreicate some help, i would love to play ultima on my Zaurus.
So far all I know is I have to put the "data files" from ultima7 to the /mnt/cf/exult-data/bg .......but how do I get em there?
The way that they are in my pc, do they have t oexactly resimble that in my Zaurus with the two folders with the game data?

Re: trouble with Zaurus
I should make a package maker...
in brief:
get a terminal for the zaurus. I've installed personally qpe-embedded-konsole.
Once this is installed, open a terminal and create the following directories:
mkdir /mnt/cf/exult-data
mkdir /mnt/cf/exult-data/bg
(or /mnt/cf/exult-data/si for SI)
Once this is done, I would say go in your command prompt or shell and go to where your BG (SI) installation is located.
If you type: "dir" or "ls" you MUST see something like that:
data gamedat serpent.txt TEMP0003.$$$ TEMP0008.$$$ exult00si.sav install.prm sfx.dat TEMP0004.$$$ TEMP0009.$$$
exult.cfg palinfo.dat static/ TEMP0006.$$$ TEMP000D.$$$
Then type the following:
ftp 192.168.127.200 4242
username: root
password:
> cd /mnt/cf/exult-data/bg
> prompt
> bin
> hash
> mput *
If you're lucky that should work!
I hope you get the idea though.

ps: I really should make a packer...

And my 'mkdir' has a -p option:
-p, --parents no error if existing, make parent directories as needed

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Hi Artaxerxes, thanks for the help so far. I ran into a problem when I attempted to make one of the 3 directories you instructed. When I attempt to make /mnt/cf/exult-data it says
"cannot create directory" reason:read-only file system.
How do I change that so I can make the the directories?
Another quick question, On my PC, do I transfer a clean ultima7 or one that has the latest version of Exult installed?
Thanks, Russ

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Just tested it....
You NEED to have a CF card if you want to use the /mnt/cf path.
If you don't have a CF card or if it is not mounted, it will say: Read-only fs!
Now, if you have a SD card, insert it and mount it and change every reference I made to "cf" by "card", as well as in the ~/.exult.cfg file
As to transfert from the PC, DO NOT transfert exult.exe etc. They are not compatible (difference architecture). Strictly copy the U7 data (BG or SI).

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Hi, well I have a SanDisk 128mb SD Card. What is scarry is, I had no problems with it, but now it wont show up now on my bottom toolbar. What did I do break it already? sheesh im getting frustrated with my luck.
So of I dont end up throwing my Zaurus in my trashcan, I should buy a CF card in the future?

Re: trouble with Zaurus
no no... having a 128 MB SD is a _GREAT_ thing. This way the CF slot is free for any other use.
What I've noticed though is that the SD slot is tempermental. It works whenever it wants to. Remove it and insert it again... sometimes it does the trick.
As for the zaurus, I've just updated the package. Check the d/l section. Every change since about a month ago is now incorporated.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
I was thinking of buying a memorycard reader to fix my SD card. I called a support line and the guy told me I should format my SD card and that would fix it. Since my Zaurus cannot format it I was lloking into a few options mabie you can give me some advise on.
1. Securemate SDDR-33 for 29.99 = it will read a SD size card but seems kinda wimpy.
2. A dual SD, and Compact Flash reader with a CF 128mb card in the combo 109.00 = this one seemed alittle better quality.
What do ya think? Both might beable to format my "stunned" SD card, and since I dont know what else to put into my CF slot #2 looked cool, but pricey.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
It's not really the place to talk about that but know that option 1 is only half-good since the zaurus cannot make use the security built-in SD card (in fact, a SD card is treated like a MMC card).
If you don't know what to put on the CF slot, buy a wireless network card. This way you'll be able to play Exult Online!
oups. I said too much!
Now seriously, option 2 sounds good.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Hi Artaxerxes, I am ready to install ultima7 BG data files on my Zaurus but I need alittle help. I tried to follow your instructions but ran into some trouble.
I began by making the directory (/mnt/cf/exult-data/bg)
then I went to my MSDOS shell and went to my c:/uc/ultima7/
When I proceded to type "ftp 192.168.127.200 4242" it displayed a few options that didnt make any sense to me alot of -w for this and -s for that.
So I didnt understand the next part about....
Username: root
Password:
When I typed in "Username: root "nothing special happened.
HELP! =)
Im wondering about the 2 directories like "gamedat" that Ultima7 has alot of files in. Will my Zaurus have these files all clumped together, or seperated just like my PC organises em.
Example /mnt/cf/exult-data/bg/gamedat ? or will the "bg" have all the files?

Find whatever mean you want so that you can put those files to that place!
gunzip is included in the zaurus, so you might want to make a .tar.gz (instead of a zip) of those files and ungzip them at the right place.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Hi Artaxerxes. I have finally been able to accomplish coppying the files to the proper location. It was rather simple actually, I was able to just plug my CF card into the reader I bought and just cut and paste like as if it was a little harddrive. I got both BG and SI to work fine except two little problems, I was wondering of you could help?
1. I dont have SFX, I have perfict music, choppy voice(with moments of clarity in rare moments) but no sound effects at all.
I tried to search the board for answers to my problems but I didnt succeed. Is there something im missing?
I have both SI/BG sfx packages installed
I have both sdl & sdl-mixer 1.2.5 installed
I have Exult-1.1.0cvs-0.6.2 installed
Exult binary is in right place
The shared files like exult_bg.flx is in right place
Exult.cfg is found in right location.
...just no sound effects.
P.S. By the way you are an awsome addition to the Ultima7 history for makingall this possible. -Shamino96

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Exult.cfg has to have entries pointing to the location of your sfx packages.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
please post your ~/.exult.cfg file as well as where the sfx packages are installed.
Also, start a terminal session, go to:
cd /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/
and type:
./exult --nocrc --bg --nomenu >/tmp/exult.out 2>/tmp/exult.err (note those are dash dash - - ) (note2: replace "bg" by "si" if that's the game you have started)
play for 20 seconds and quit the game
post your /tmp/exult.out and your /tmp/exult.err as well.
thx

Re: trouble with Zaurus
If my Exult.cfg wa to point to the sfx packages, as an example
/opt/Qtpalmtop/share/exult/keys_si.txt
would I type something in place of "" with the right sfx file name after ...Qtpalmtop/share/exult/ (exult-sfx-si)?
Im not sure how to cut and paste to show you my exult.cfg but if you told me what to look for and who the sfx packages should be set up I can handle the rest.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
since you can copy and paste "like a HD", open up a terminal and do the following:
run exult the way I mentioned earlier (with the >/tmp/exult.out 2>/tmp/exult.err)
mkdir /mnt/cf/exult-cfg
cp ~/.exult.cfg /mnt/cf/exult-cfg
cp /tmp/exult.out /tmp/exult.err /mnt/cf/exult-cfg
ls -lR /opt/QtPalmtop/share > /mnt/cf/exult-cfg/ls-lR.txt
Once that's done, take out your card and insert it in your card reader and post the stuff in here.

Re: trouble with Zaurus
good job!
in your ~/.exult.cfg, replace:
jmsfx.flx
by:
/opt/QtPalmtop/share/exult/data/jmsfx.flx
and:
jmsisfx.flx
by:
/opt/QtPalmtop/share/exult/data/jmsisfx.flx
I would recommend you do that from your windows machine (since you see the card as a HD) and once the changes are done, insert your card in the zaurus and copy it over this way (from a terminal):
cp /mnt/cf/exult-cfg/.exult.cfg ~/ -f
Start exult and (hopefully) enjoy your sfx!

Re: trouble with Zaurus
any editor will do. Notepad or Wordpad.
I recommand Wordpad (just because you might have CR-LF issues with Notepad).

Re: trouble with Zaurus
well, you know, that's a lot of work for your poor zaurus. It has to display images every so often (reduce that to 2 btw: press the 'cancel' button during the game, tap "gameplay option" and select speed = 2 FPS), read the sfx from a file and _create_ the music at the same time!
I played throught SI entirely WITHOUT the music and I'm still alive!
On the other hand, the music does it all I guess, so I'm gonna work on OGG support. It will take a while and quite some disk space too!

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Thats what I thought, I had a feeling that they game wants to make too much noise for its own good. Well, I'll pop my head in here at least 2 times a week to see if you can make more Ultima magic. Thanks for your quick replies and awsome support.

(OT)p.s. Just wondering on a side note, do you play Ultima Online?

Re: trouble with Zaurus
Are there any steps that I can take to make more memory for Exult on the Zaurus? Like, mabie in-game options?
So far I know that I can switch to 2 fps and I can turn off sounds, but im trying to allow more memory to keep sounds and music. What about "cheats". If I turn em off will it free up memory? What have you done to speed up your gameplay?

Re: trouble with Zaurus
to be honest, I've done absolutely no memory adjustments.
I was thinking of doing some but I'm not sure where to start. Maybe loading a superchunk at a time (dunno if exult does that right now)...
cheats should have no impact at all.
Another pb is that I have absolutely no clue on how much memory exult takes on the zaurus! No clue at all. I could be the memory pb that hangs the system once in a while but maybe not. Can someone comes with any (relevant) numbers?

Does the Zaurus have 'top' or 'ps'?

Re: trouble with Zaurus
it does but then I should connect remotely since if exult runs, I cannot use the zaurus command prompt.
