Midi sound...

[Jobreton]

I know is stupid but Exult don't take my synth in consideration when I play the game in GM mod

[Dominus]

What do you mean?

[Jobreton]

Well it omit my Soundfont

[Dominus]

Please be more precise. What OS, what synth, what exult settings, exult version etc.

[Jobreton]

Sorry Vista 64 bits
Exult 1.5
Setting GM
Synth: SB X-FI Synth A

[Dominus]

In the audio settings what do you have enabled/disabled

[Jobreton]

Digital music Disabled
All other enabled

[Dominus]

Is the midi device with soundfont your systems default?

[Jobreton]

Supposed yes

[Dominus]

What dows stdout.txt say? (See 3.4 of our docs)

[Jobreton]

Never mind, I haven't check on my Local Folder

Thanks anyway

[Dominus]

Huh?

[Jobreton]

It seems in vista the Exult.CFG are here:

Desktop\(user name)\AppData\Local\Exult

[Dominus]

Well, if there is such a shortcut on your desktop nice, but the official path is also (even more so) valid.
So what does stdout.txt say?

[Jobreton]

BTW it work, I didn't know that you have transfert this file and exult.cfg in the Appdata folder

[Dominus]

What worked? Does it use the correct synth now?

We needed to move those files away from the program files folder to prevent them being write protected, uac etc

[Jobreton]

Yep all is working, I use the 1 synth

A suggestion (if is not in the FAQ or the Documentation on your site): Tell that the Exult.cfg in vista/7/8 is in the Appdata folder and not in Program Files or self-created folder

[Dominus]

That is in the documentation
