I'm running Exult 1.00 under Linux Mandrake 9. It runs fine at first. I get sound and the introductions for Black Gate and Serpent Isle play without a problem. Then I select "Journey Onward" either by itself or through "Start New Game", and Exult quits with the following console output:
Skin is: 3 Sex is: 0
Creating 'gamedat' files.

Loading /exult_bg.flx...
Found Serpent Isle 'paperdol.vga', 'gumps.vga' and 'shapes.vga'.
Support for 'Serpent Isle' Paperdolls and Multiracial Avatars in 'Black Gate' ENABLED.

============================
An exception occured:
File /home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate is not of type FLEX
errno: 21
Error Description: Is a directory
============================
Here is a snippet of my .exult.cfg:
/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate
blackgate
/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate/gamedat
/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate/save
(default)

Re: Fails on Begin Adventure
/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate
is the problem. You need to point it directly to the wave sfx pack, instead of to the directory containing it.
