Exult Studio incompatibility

Post by Dominus »

after many reports of problems we tried Exult Studio on Win9x and found it not working properly since about the 15th of May.

So currently Exult Studio only works well on XP.

W2k does have some weird connection problem between Studio and Exult.

did you try with changing an NPC's flag to something else in ES and hit apply? e.g. when you enable the poison flag does the npc have a green outline?
that is part of the problem with 2k and I'd like to know if it works in NT. Thanks

well, you will find that NT will not bring joy then as well. As editing anything in ES and then sending it off to the main game (by pressing ok, or apply) will not work properly. Sorry.

Otoh Colourless found the problem with Win9x but hasn't put it into the source yet. I guess he wants to kill the bug with path names in Exult as well first...
