OpenGL scaling method failure (1.2)

[Mr_Bones_]

When I select the OpenGL scaling method, I get this:

$ exult
Exult version 1.2
Built at: Jun 17 2004 17:28:27
Compile-time options: USE_EXULTSTUDIO, HAVE_ZIP_SUPPORT, HAVE_OPENGL
Compiler: gcc, version: 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)

Platform: Linux version 2.4.26
Exult path settings:
Data : /usr/share/games/exult
Digital music : /usr/share/games/exult/music

Music player: Internal OGG digital music player
Black Gate : found
exult_bg.flx : found
Serpent Isle : not found (./static/sispeech.spc)
exult_si.flx : found
============================
An exception occured:
Error opening file static/palettes.flx
errno: 2
Error Description: No such file or directory
============================

To me, this looks like there is some missing "replace with the actual path" code somewhere.

The other scaling methods work fine.

Actually it's trying to read a game data file before having selected a game. Known bug, but the opengl renderer is very very experimental and not recommended for actual use.
