Party Formation.

[Zweihander]

I'm not sure if it's the latest snapshot or not, but the fourth member in the Avatar's party formation is not in sync with the rest of the party members. I recruited these party members in order:

Avatar
Iolo
Spark
Shamino
Dupre
Tseramed

Shamino always tries to get into the middle of the formation, and whenever I run, he tends to get thrown out of formation and I have to go back for him. I hope this makes sense. I am not sure if this was an issue in 1.2, it's been a long time since I've played Ultima VII on Exult.

So far, I am liking the latest snapshot version, the last snapshot version I played was a very long time ago, and it always crashed on me.

Party formation in Exult has always been a bit flaky, with party members falling behind or milling about in a disorderly mass. IIRC it's gotten better since the last official/"stable" release or two. Despite the occasional problem (Shamino in your case), I do prefer Exult's formation to the original's. It feels more fluid and realistic than the rigid marching of classic U7.

Also, FYI bug reports should go to the tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=10 ... unc=browse

Thanks for the reply. You're right, I do like Exult's formation more than the original version, whenever it decides to work.

However, I don't remember the latest release having this bad of a problem with the party formation, Shamino's (or whoever I have in the fourth position of the party's formation) movements are jerky and he ends up going all over the place.

Thanks for the link.
