Exult Forum

I know is stupid but Exult don't take my synth in consideration when I play the game in GM mod

What do you mean?

Well it omit my Soundfont

Please be more precise. What OS, what synth, what exult settings, exult version etc.

Sorry Vista 64 bits
Exult 1.5
Setting GM
Synth: SB X-FI Synth A

In the audio settings what do you have enabled/disabled

Digital music Disabled
All other enabled

Is the midi device with soundfont your systems default?

Supposed yes

What dows stdout.txt say? (See 3.4 of our docs)

Never mind, I haven't check on my Local Folder

Thanks anyway

Huh?

It seems in vista the Exult.CFG are here:

Desktop\(user name)\AppData\Local\Exult

Well, if there is such a shortcut on your desktop nice, but the official path is also (even more so) valid.
So what does stdout.txt say?

BTW it work, I didn't know that you have transfert this file and exult.cfg in the Appdata folder

What worked? Does it use the correct synth now?

We needed to move those files away from the program files folder to prevent them being write protected, uac etc

Yep all is working, I use the 1 synth

A suggestion (if is not in the FAQ or the Documentation on your site): Tell that the Exult.cfg in vista/7/8 is in the Appdata folder and not in Program Files or self-created folder

That is in the documentation
