Exult Forum

hey guys,

I have BG running on a thumb drive so I can take it to and from work, play at work and at home. Problem is I started the game at work and it saves to the localapp/ on the hard drive of said computer.

I have read the FAQ and inserted the command lines in the exult.cfg.example AND exult.cfg

(savegame_path)
e:\exult
(/savegame_path)
(gamedat_path)
e:\exult
(/gamedat_path)

( is to represent <

now the thumb drive is e: and to get to exult.exe is in e:\exult

it keeps creating the save file on start up at the appdata location on the c:.


I have a basic understand of commands and such.

thanks for any direction you can give me.

See the command line options in the documentation

Yes, I have read that, I am guessing here that

-c configfile
Specify alternate config file (relative or absolute paths work).

is what applies?

so which .cfg file am I rewriting with the new directories?

exult.cfg.example?

of the one that is created in the localapp data file on the c:?

I guess i am not as knowledgable as i thought.

You should use the -p command line option. It will default to the old way Exult saved games.

FYI: I deleted the post on the wrong thread.

so how would I change/do that? where do i put the -p?

sorry you'll really have to spell it out for me.

GREATLY GREATLY APPRICIATED

Write a text file with just the line
exult -p

And save it as exultstart.bat in the folder where you have exult.exe. Now instead of starting exult, doubleclick that file exultstart.bat

so i did that, and i still have the same problem,

when i click journey onward it says i need to start a new game, and still creates the file in app data...

Download the latest snapshot and use that.
