Follow Avatar/Combat Follow Mode

[Vasculio294]

I know the team a few years back... told me that they liked the new way the followers followed the Avatar in a combat like fashion and deside to keep it that way.
But could it be possible to implant a mode that allows you to have the old way + the new way of following the avatar around?
I've seen how Exult is constantly growing.
I would love to at least have it on a possible list to do deal.

Ps
I'm impressed with the cheats so far... but i'm hoping they fix the Add NPC to Party feature in next build. But it never worked for me

Im not sure entirely what you're asking when you say "the old way + the new way". Could you clarify? Do you mean, making it optional?

The old way... was when the party followed the avatar in an orderly fashion.
The new way...the party followed the avatar like they were in combat mode. They kinda lagged behind. But still followed the avatar around.

[Wizardry Dragon]

Yes I do not get what you are asking for. Are you wanting to be able to switch between the two? Do you want something else entirely?

I'm sorry if I seem a bit dense, but I don't really get it.

You can enable the old walking formation by editing "exult.cfg" and setting formation to yes. You may need to add the following inside the gameplay section.



yes

I see... thanks Malignant Manor. Sorry you couldn't understand what i was talking about Wizardry Dragon.

I thought the 'formation = yes' option was the default, and has been for a few years (since nobody liked the way Exult used to have the companions wandering randomly).

[Malignant Manor]

The documentation say that the default cfg file uses the Exult way. Of course, it could be out of date.

Code: Select all

	**yes forces the party to walk in a formation similar to the original game.
no

Add NPC to Party feature in next build

Use the cheat menu (F2). [N]pc tools, put in the npcs number, [N]pc Flags, Party.

Also, you need to set their Schedule to Follow Avatar.

Also, you need to set their Schedule to Follow Avatar.

This should be done automatically in the latest snapshots; there is certainly code for it.
