Exult Forum

Hi Forum,

did anyone successfully launch Exult on Mountain Lion 10.8.3 yet? It crashes whenever I try to launch a game!

First I simply copied over the application bundle from an older Snow Leopard 10.6.8 onto my new iMac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion running. The executable runs fine on Snow Leopard, however on Mountain Lion it crashes shortly after I select the Serpent Isle game from the launcher.

So yes, after launching the application the "Exult" menu shows fine, the music starts playing and I am presented with a Serpent Island menu entry. But once I select that entry Exult crashes.

Initially I also copied Exult.cfg (~/Library/Preferences) from Snow Leopard, but I also tried removing it (the Exult menu then showed in windowed mode, but same crash as soon as I selected Serpent Isle)

The game data itself is located under /Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle (also simply copied over from the Snow Leopard installation). Audio data is also located in /Library/Application Support/Exult/data.

Clicking on Quotes, Credits or Exit works as expected.


Here is the complete stack trace, seems like Thread 1 crashes:

Anyone else has seen this? Could it be that my game data is corrupt (I am pretty sure I copied the entire serpentisle folder properly)?

Well, it works for me
Exult svn is built and tested primarily on 10.8

Can you right click on the app and select "show contents" (or similar) then a new finder window will open, there double click on contents then macos and finally on exult. A terminal should open and then exult will start. Then make it crash and copy/paste the content of the terminal eindow here.

And did you download the latest snapshot?

Uh, I forgot to mention the Exult version indeed (I actually had written it down, then later on re-edited my question before posting).

Initially I tried with the "latest stable" Exult package, as directly copied from my other iMac with Snow Leopard. I think that was 1.4.x (the Download page does not offer it currently, as it seems: "Official - currently disabled - please use the snapshot as it fixed severe problems").

Then I downloaded the latest SVN snapshot (as of "yesterday", 15th April 2013), v1.5.x and replaced the 1.4 package with it.

Additionally I downloaded and re-installed the "All-In-One Audio Data packs".

Plus, I copied over the Exult.cfg from my older iMac to the one running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and placed it under ~/Library/Preferences/Exult.cfg

(I then also renamed that file and Exult then started in "windowed mode" (instead of full screen) and re-created said Exult.cfg with standard settings.

In each case I had the application abort with the given stack trace, shortly after I clicked on the "Serpent Isle" menu entry.


So far as I remember I currently have files installed here:

* /Applications/Exult (the Exult application bundle)
* /Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle (the data originates from a "all in one" game CD which contained The Black Gate, Serpent Isle + "expansion packs" - can't remember the name of that CD right now...)
* /Library/Application Support/Exult/data (the sound data)
* ~/Library/Preferences/Exult.cfg (also tried without)

I will do as you say and launch Exult from the Terminal (I think that's what you wanted, right? )


However: I don't know where the Ultima Savegames are located (I have to check on my older iMac once I'm home): could it be that the game data (/Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle) somehow "stores" whether a game had been saved previously, and that Savegame is now missing which then leads to a crash? (However, I don't see in the stack trace that some file is accessed and not found - and it does not even play the intro, and I can't imagine why the game engine should try to access saved games before playing the intro).

(And it is technically unlikely, because that location should be read-only, as my OS X user does not have admin rights, so that location could not be modified while I was playing the game, could it?)

Or maybe it has something to do with user access rights of the "serpentisle" folder?

I'll try to do a clean installation (copy the data from the CD again, as I'm sure is described in some README ) again and see how things go.


But it's good to know that it *should* work

(Btw, did you also upgrade to OS X 10.8.*3* yet? I am using an iMac 2011 27" with an ATI graphics cards, but that should not matter, should it?)


Thanks!

I think it's likely that Exult crashes because it isn't allowed to read a file in the serpent isle folder. We do have some instructions on installing the games, but I think it's more likely that rights for the admin of the old machine are still set or something like that.
It would probably really help if you run Exult from terminal (and don't bother with Exult 1.4.9rc1 - that one is really broken on OS X 10.7 and higher - when you go full screen at least).

The savegames are stored in ~/library/application support/exult/GAMENAME

And yes I'm on 10.8.3 (or rather was till yesterday, I'm now on 10.8.4 beta).

Yes, that was it! I simply unzipped SERPENT.ZIP that shipped on the "The Complete Ultima VII" CD (I think I bought that together with some computer magazine back then), and copied the resulting "SERPENT" folder to /Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle/ (after having completely removed the previous 'serpentisle' folder on that location).

Must have properly set the user access rights! I can now play Serpent Isle on my OS X 10.8.3

At this time a big Thank You to all who have contributed to this great Exult game engine! I played through The Back Gate years ago (was that still on some 486? Can't remember... ). Then I later got stuck "somewhere north on Serpent Isle, in some ice dessert" and couldn't remember what my next goal actually was in the game... and I never finished Serpent Isle!

That shall now change!

Thanks again!

Yeah!!! Good luck! And remember to use the latest snapshot when possible
