Boydon

[Theoban]

Hi. I'm using Exult v1.0 on win98, and I've just got to Mad Mage Isle. Now, unless I'm doing something blindingly stupid (which could be very likely), Boydon will not be re-made. I've put his head, torso, the phoenix egg and as many body parts as I could before it just spits them out again, and nothing happens. I've been through all the conversation options with Erstram and that monkey-boy he's got working for him, and nothing's happening. I've not tried an earlier save, as it's absolutely ages since I saved in a different slot.

Normally, if the machine spits parts out is because something is missing...
Some parts don't belong to Boydon.

[Theoban]

Problem is, I've put every part I can find in. Even the leg hidden behind it, apart from making a nice little pile of anatomy they didn't do anything

The parts boydon uses are the non-wriggling ones. There are specific parts the machine accepts... you can't use any others. Make sure the parts you put in are not moving and have a decayed look to them. You should put in the head, torso, two legs, two arms, and then the pheonix egg.

I remember having a few problems with this, it took me a while.

I think you must use still parts, and put them in carefully. If they go in right, a little spark will appear. You need exactly 2 legs, 2 arms, torso, head, and the egg as said above.

So apparently I've been putting the torso behind the machine. I don't know why or how

That's a clipping problem with Exult.

You get them all the time making your own stuff, even with things that should work.

I have one table that always clips over things, even things it's below

Same problem here (with the 1.1 beta), this is definately a plot-stopper bug

[Dominus]

ShadowChaser: you know the procedure, I guess
Please submit a bugreport with a svegame just before you throw in the body parts...

In the meantime you guys could probably warp to "the house of the dead" and have him join your party.
