Pocket PC Features / Bug Fixes

Post by **Lanica** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:03 am

Hello all,

Starting a new thread to help organize this information better.

Here's a current list of feature / bug fix requests:

* BUG: exult.cfg cannot be found in the "current directory" because pocket pc devices do not support CWDs. Its currently hardcoded to find exult.cfg inside of \Exult. Colourless Dragon suggested that I use "GetModuleFileName" to get Exult.exe's full path and then strip out Exult.exe. Also I would want to edit add_system_path to append the exe path to the beginning of any non absolute path and set the CWD value to a global variable.
* BUG: Resolution has some interesting issues when the native resolution is 640x480 (It works at 640x480, but not 320x240 ... at 320x240 the touch screen is not wear the stylus is being tapped at)
* BUG: Scaling does not work (that would fix some of the above problems possibly)
* BUG: D-Pad needs to be corrected automatically for some users
* BUG: For screens that move ... the screen orientation changes sometimes and the touch screen is off by a bit
* FEATURE: exult.cfg.txt -- Search for exult.cfg.txt first, then exult.cfg -- this way its easier for PocketPC users to edit on their devices natively.
* FEATURE: Key configuration utility
* D-PAD
* Inventory
* Pause & hide game (pop inventory up and hide the screen)
* Combat
* Spellbook

If there are any other requests, please let me know!

Performed the following
* Removed WINCE hardcoded configuration file location (was set to load from "\Exult\exult.cfg")
* Fixed relative pathing error (WinCE does not have a "current directory")

Post by **Lanica** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 11:15 am

* Added PocketPC 'minimize' function
* Fixed PocketPC dpad keymap loading bug

Perhaps a way to enter the player's name for those without a mini-keyboard?

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 6:34 am

Like perhaps the onscreen keyboard used in ScummVM or DOSBox for ppc?
You could default to 320x200 and display the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

Post by **Lanica** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:17 am

I'm working on a solution for the keyboard right now. I may or may not get it done today, but I've got a few ideas I'm throwing around in my mind.

Thanks!

Post by **Colourless** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 2:29 pm

This is an old mockup I did for an On Screen Keyboard for Exult

It fits in 320x40 as you'd want. There were a number of technical issues in implementing it (still are probably), which is why I never did it.

Post by **Lanica** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 10:04 am

Colourless,

Thanks for the mockup ... but I already had a keyboard in the works so I went with it. I might modify it later. Mine seems to be lacking a few buttons ... guess we'll see how important it is to the actual users

Thanks.

*** New Features ***
1. exult.cfg.txt can now be used instead of exult.cfg if you wish. Exult will check for exult.cfg.txt first, and if it exists, it will use it. If it does not exist, it will use exult.cfg (which will create exult.cfg automatically if it does not exist).
2. On-screen keyboard -- can be minimized (iconified really) and moved to the 4 screen corners. Please see the readme.txt file for additional details!

*** Bug fixes ***
1. Minimize bug -- Screen would not get completely erased in certain PocketPC setups when the minimize feature was activated.

Yay I can name my Avatar now!

I'd love to have the keypad, just 1-9 as 0, enter, +and the rest are not needed. I can use that to move my avatar around. As of right now I can only move in four directions...

Spark, "Avatar, why dost thou walk about making exactly 90-degree turns?"

Post by **Lanica** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 2:59 pm

Quentin,

Not a bad idea.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 11:48 pm

I don't know - am I just being stupid or is there no right mouse button yet?
If so, this would be my next feature request, because I'd prefer moving my Avatar with the mouse. Remappable, through exult.cfg, or something like that.

Again, I'd be happy if someone would just tell me it's already possible and I've simply missed something.

Great work, Lanica, I've been hoping for a PPC port for years now. Keep it up!

Post by **Lanica** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 5:41 am

Alex,

Thats a feature yet to be added. It shouldn't be TOO difficult to add.

Not a problem. I've enjoyed my work on Exult very much!

Mormeguil · Post by **Mormeguil** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 12:19 pm

Well i have a problem whem i reach the room were you put the blood in the ashes in the knights test when i reach this part of the game exult exits as soon that room apears

Playing in HTC TyTn

This port is brilliant keep up the good work

Post by **Dominus** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 11:54 pm

can you provide a savegame just before the crash? just maybe there is something broken there atm...

Lanica: could you post a screenshot of how the onscreen keyboard looks now? Just curios

Post by **Colourless** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 1:05 am

Would be great to have some photos of it running on devices for the screenshot page too!

Mormeguil · Post by **Mormeguil** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 1:48 am

Well ive passed that part but the problem isn t just there, its random crashes. i ve had crashes in monitor fawn, etc. Just curious but what happens whwn somebody call you to the PPC, my pocket PChas phone.

Man this is great it feels like playing Seprnt Isle in my old 486 sx 25, crashes and all:)

ill Provide you with a savegame that im using right now

Post by **Lanica** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:06 am

Hmm. I've had some fairly random crashes as well, but I also do "interesting" things to Exult

That is, I do some testing and I get crashes other ways that could cause some sort of corruption in the configuration files and/or save game files. Let's see that save game and then we'll go from there to try to determine the cause.

Well, when my phone rings, I usually press the ignore button...its not handled very well. There's still some bugs with the minimize function I believe...once that is fixed, then I can find a way to handle the phone ringing. Then when the phone rings, I'll have Exult minimize itself. Its probably fairly trivial, but we'll see. Keep in mind, the Pocket PC port is NOT in a final stage -- its based off of CVS which could cause a variety of different problems. Also, one thing you can do to try to test things for yourself, is to get the latest version of Exult on your PC (CVS version that is), and copy your savegame file from your PocketPC device to your PC (or Mac, or whatever). If it still randomly crashes, then there's probably something wrong that is not specific to the PocketPC.

Post by **Lanica** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:07 am

I'll try to get some screenshots up for you guys. I'll probably put them up on the screenshots page, since I've been recently introduced to the web module of CVS

I'll leave a note here when/if I do so.

Thanks!

Post by **Lanica** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:14 am

Screenshots are up at the bottom of:
http://exult.info/screenshots.php

Mormeguil · Post by **Mormeguil** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:08 am

Well i tried to copy the savegame to the pc and it crashes on the pc also, i then tried playing from the beginning again in the pc and its still crashing, to be honest i hadn t tried the 1.4.03 cvs, and perhaps the problem its there, has anyone actually tried playing the game in this version?

Anyway if you want the savegame i can send it to you

thanks

Post by **Lanica** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:17 am

Sounds like its a "all versions" bug...not a PocketPC specific bug. You should probably file bug report (with the savegame attached) at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/exult/

Thanks!

Post by **marzo** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:26 am

Out of curiosity: those of you experiencing crashes, are you using digital music or midi music? (if you don't know, you can look in stdout, but it is probably midi)

Post by **Malignant Manor** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:47 am

I experience a decent amount of crashes in Exult using midi. I should try digital music and see if it helps. It can take a quite a few tries to start a new game sometimes. Sometimes I can go a really long time without a single crash. Other times it happens repeatedly over and over again while trying to start.

It seems to occur more frequently when trying to quickly skip sequences like the intro and quickly clicking when reaching the journey onward screen. Nothing that is repeatable. In game Exult likes to crash a decent amount of the time when quickly trying to access the cheat menu after performing an action ie finish a conversation and quickly press F2, etc. .

On a side note, opening the cheat menu seems to darken the palettes. It carries over even if you reload. It resets to the correct brightness when you restart Exult.

Congrats Lanica for finally being officially honored as a member of the illustrious Exult Team.

Way to go!

I haven't encountered any crashes yet but, using midi, I have had some extreme slow-downs, especially in Britain. I'm going to check if I'd fare better shutting midi off.

Post by **marzo** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 9:42 am

I experience a decent amount of crashes in Exult using midi.

Midi Output: Enabled

Yes, I thought so. If you try with music disabled, does it crash as frequently?

Post by **Malignant Manor** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:30 am

My problems aren't that reproducable. In the past, they were. I can't really check and see if it stoped occuring as often because of disabling so backgroud services (stupid aol and ipod crap that the windows package started with), because I started to have computer crashes lately and am trying to leave my computer on for a few days and see if removing AVG antivirus fixes it. I know it isn't my power supply because I switched it. I hope that it is the cause of my problems or I am about out of ideas other than doing a fresh reinstall.

I don't have my graphics card in because of having to switch to a lower power supply that can't support it. The graphics card could have helped contribute to crashes.

Mormeguil · Post by **Mormeguil** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 12:48 pm

ok you were right i tested with no sound and as of now no crashes,
thx:)
how do i configure exult to be in the memory card instead of main memory, to put the digital music files i dont have enough space in the main memory?

thx

Dunadan26 · Post by **Dunadan26** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 9:55 pm

First of all, thanks for the great work on this port to the pocket pc.
I really enjoy playing it, just can't stop playing.

Things i noticed is the game freezes up alot in Britain it's a crawl for me..
of course it'is the biggest city.
(my specs are Qtec 200 Mhz Ram size 64MB Flash size 128MB)
Mabey i need a upgrade? will it help if i put it on a storage card? miniSD
I dont have one at the moment.

- bug i noticed (fellowship music hangs) somewhere in the middle of the theme. when other music starts playing it goes away.
I'm using Midi music.

Thanks for the great work so far.

Post by **Lanica** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:49 am

Dunadan26,

Not a problem

Yeah, Britian is a bit slow for me. My device runs at 180 MHz, and disabling the sound seems to help quite a bit. I also sometimes overclock it to 240 MHz and it seems to improve the speed. My recommendation is this: 1. Look into overclocking your device, and 2. BE CAREFUL ... this can ruin your device and no one but yourself will be held responsible. Usually if you set it too high, it'll just crash anyways

Putting it on a miniSD most likely will slow it down. Usually internal memory is the fastest.

Also, there seems to be some bugs with the midi music in all versions of Exult (I could be wrong, but that seems to be what the information is pointing towards), so its probably a good idea to disable it anyway for right now.

Please understand that this version is still considered unstable. Feature requests and bug reports are VERY welcome though!

Thanks for testing!

the update waas to scaling only?

Yes, the bug was to fix scaling...it wouldn't work at all before.... Please paste your exult.cfg and also the output of stdout.txt

You did download the newest version at http://exult.info/download.php right?

Mormeguil,

Try setting the scale factor to 2X. IF the game crashes, try to reopen it and see if it works after that. For some reason if you change the video options, the PocketPC version likes to crash....working on fixing this

Thanks!

I seem to get a crash every time I attempt to access the game options menu.
Tryed disbling midi, and starting a new game in Forge of Virtue, with no mods loaded.

I am using an HP iPAQ hx2495
64 MB RAM, 520MHz xScale (ARM 5) processor.

On a side note, games seem to load faster from Compact Flash cards than SD cards (which makes since since CF has a wider data bus).. just thought I'd mention that in case anyone else has a windows mobile device that supports both.

Hmm. So far the only thing I can see that connects these two problems is that you both appear to be using memory cards. Is there any way you can try putting one of the games into internal memory? I can do some testing with memory cards later...just a suggestion you might be able to get to quicker than I can. I'll also try to analyze your exult.cfg file as well. You could also try starting with a fresh exult.cfg to see if that fixes anything ... for now.

Thanks!

Odd. I wasn't able to reproduce the error with your configuration file... Let me know if you get anywhere with the issue. I'll try to think of some other things to try. You do have the latest version, correct? (Check the date of the Exult executable and get back to me)
