Game Pause Functionality

Post by Josh Parker »

IIRC, in the original U7BG, the game would pause whenever I entered an inventory screen. The reason this stands out was because if I fight was brewing, I could enter the inventory screen to put the squad into battle mode, without getting attacked while I did it. In Exult, the game continues to run whenever I enter anybody's inventory. Is that right? Am I correct in my recollection of the original game, and if I am correct, then how do I get Exult to work the same way? (I could be totally off on this one and just dreaming it up, but it's worth asking.)

that certainly is an issue with Exult.
Currently the game "half-pauses" when you enter the inventory, meaning game time goes on but Monsters don't attack you.
Before that Exult didn't pause at all.
I think it would be nice to have pause and no pause as an option. I don't like the "half-pause" at all :-)
