Exult Forum

Hi, I've been trying to get Exult working for the past hour or so, and although I've got everything compiled properly (On Linux in case it's important), and (I think) in the proper locations. I can start both games and create a character... then Exult shows the red/blue "liquid" screen for a split second and dies with a message complaining that it can't find the file 'npc.dat', which it's looking for in the gamedat folder. I have the original game, and it was installed and working fine in Dos, so what happened to this file? Is this file created automatically somehow?

You probably still have a savegame from the original in your gamedat/ directory. Try moving the gamedat directory out of the way.

(Or setup a different gamedat path in the config file)
