Exult Forum

I'm running Exult 1.00 under Linux Mandrake 9. It runs fine at first. I get sound and the introductions for Black Gate and Serpent Isle play without a problem. Then I select "Journey Onward" either by itself or through "Start New Game", and Exult quits with the following console output:

Skin is: 3 Sex is: 0

============================
An exception occured:
File /home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate is not of type FLEX
errno: 21
Error Description: Is a directory
============================

Here is a snippet of my .exult.cfg:



/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate


blackgate


/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate/gamedat


/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate/save


(default)


/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate

/home/vaustein/.exult/blackgate


is the problem. You need to point it directly to the wave sfx pack, instead of to the directory containing it.
