Hack moving & map editing delema

Post by Daniel »

Dominus, you are wrong about using the Map-Editor Mode to move items such as drapes, hanging sheilds and another that hangs on walls. The problem still occurs. But that's understandable because you didn't sound sure or not. Just informing ya anyway I don't know if it would take long to fix, but if it's not, then pleease!

For anyone who does not know, the problem is that items that generally hang on walls seem to fall straight through a wall when you place them on other walls. Where that item goes is unknown. The original game in dos never did this, and it's a shame that exult does because I'd be making my own home in the wilderness by now (preferably the wisp house in the middle of Yew :)

PS: I know Exult Studio is always the other options, but being able to do it whilst the game is running is always a bonus.

yeah, what I have found is when you do that and a building is two stories, it goes to the 2nd story, now when it is one story, I imagine it moves it to the second story, but since it does not exist, it gets lost.

Oh those were the days. Changing NPCS' scheduels to patrol my castle.

Yes, you have to use ExultStudio and set the "Edit lift" value to the height you want things to stay at. You can also double-click an item and get a dialog to modify its position. Roofs are generally at lift 5.

If there is no 2nd story, shouldn't it be on the roof? This is what I have witnessed. Either that or it goes behind the wall.

Daniel, I'm not sure what I wrote and I'm too lazy to go back :-)
But whatever I wrote, I must have meant that you need Exult Studio for this to work properly. And not wanting to sound to snub about it but I guess the cheat system will not be expanded in that region as we provide relatively easy to use tools like Exult Studio for this.
So, use Exult Studio for building :-) Especially as it is progressing and pretty soon has the "combos" in it (stay tuned for a ES docs update next week).
