[Slightly OT]: Website for BG Keyring and SI Fixes mods

[marzo]

Hello, folks.

I am just writing to notify of the lauch of my website: the Seven Towers. It features up-to-date downloads of the BG Keyring and SI Fixes mods, as well as several Ultima-related icons I have made and some documentation of UCC (most of this documentation is available also in the Exult source, but I thought this gives them greater visibility).

Let me know what you think (and thanks for Wizardry Dragon for hosting the site).

(By the way: I have removed the links to the downloads of the aforementioned mods from the downloads page and added a link to the links page)

Looking great. Only the links need some time getting used to.
By the way, the site "Exult Studio Guides" is either down or has moved somewhere else. If it has gone forever, is the information still available somewhere? There where some good infos on there which you could include on your new site. Would be nice to have all that stuff collected in one place.

I am thinking of adding at least part of that information to my website; at least, the portions that I wrote, suitably revised and updated, plus some more that I intend to write.

Nice site. I especially like the icons.

Unfortunately it seems even internet archive has no copies of Exult Studio Guides other than this one page :

I'm unable to run your Serpent Isle patches (version 0.15.04) using Exult version 1.4.01cvs on GNU/Linux.

My Serpent Isle path in ~/.exult.cfg is set to /home/psy/share/exult/serpent. I created /home/psy/share/exult/serpent/mods and unzipped your sifixes.zip into it, which created a subdiretory sifixes.

If I then run exult --si --mod sifixes, Serpent Isle starts up but your patches are not applied. (E.g., Shamino doesn't add his items to the list; ghosts still talk like the Hierophant, etc.)

I tried adding /home/psy/share/exult/serpent/mods to ~/.exult.cfg but that didn't work either.

Any advice would be appreciated. Also, it would help matters immensely if the Exult developers would add some error detection to the command-line processing for --mod; if you supply a completely bogus argument then it doesn't complain.

A few relevant questions:

Are you using one of the newest snapshots? Was only the sifixes subdirectory that was created or was there a sifixes.cfg file too? If there is the cfg file, try converting it to Linux-style endings (I think I accidentally shipped one with DOS' crlf line endings, and that *might* cause problems). Was the tag added to the tag?
