Ok just two questions before I get started hehe.. 1. When you said you compile all the needed stuff manually for each prefix, does this means all the tools and libs like autoconf, automake, libtool, zlib, vorbis, sdl, etc?? Im assuming I cant simply build an i386 binary with just ppc libs.. Do you p...

monotremata

Aaaargh I got all the way to the end of the i386 compile and it died putting together the ogg/vorbis stuff at the very end.. I found out the other day that a standard default SDL install makes universal libs (but not the dynamic ones) so I should be all good there using the static library configurat...

monotremata

Works great so far. Just finished a build 4 mins ago and opened it up and made sure no crashes when clicking on the inventory and disk icons and whatnot.. Now back to trying to figure out how to compile an intel binary on my PPC hehe. I think I may need to either specify -host=i386-apple-darwin when...

monotremata

So I take it we change the SDL-config.h back to its original byte order now??

monotremata

Alrighty.. I think its finally time to give it up and let Dominus have at it hehe. Im thinking you simply cant compile an x86 binary on a PPC mac. I gave Exult a go today, and my regular static PPC build works fine. I renamed it to exult-ppc and exported all the proper CFLAGS and LDFLAGS and whatnot...

monotremata

Ooooh gotcha! Got all those libs installed fine so guess Im good to go hehe.
Gonna go make those SDL changes now and here we go!!

monotremata

Latest snapshot working fine under 10.5 PPC YAY!
Although now that I started setting up Macports it appears I cant build smpeg for whatever reason so I cant install the SDL-Mixer..

Fink is still working but guess I wont be able to make all those nice universal binaries on my end in Macports..

monotremata

Just finished moving myself and getting set back up..
Upgraded my Mac to 10.5.8 couple days ago so hopefully snapshot testing will go smoother now hehe.

monotremata

Well to start since youre using a MacBook with an Intel cpu you should be using the 1.4 snapshots instead..

I think the crash is related to the music/sfx.. Ive seen info about it somewhere before.. One of the devs would know more..

monotremata

Yeah you dont even need to bother with the installers like Dominus said.
All those do is run batch files that copy the game folders over to your hard drive.

If you really wanna 'keep it real' you can mount the cd in DOSBox and run it there. Pretty sure it had a DOS installer as well..

monotremata

God the food thing was more annoying than anything. At least by Ultima IV and V they got it right.. I never heard of this guy before but man those two reviews were hilarious. Cant wait til he rips apart Ultima II now hehe.. If he thought the first two were a clusterfuck of sci-fi and fantasy element...

monotremata

Jeezus. Started downloading it and then noticed the file size.. Its like twice the size of the Ultima 5 remake!

Gotta clear up some space on the Mac before grabbing this hehe..

monotremata

Oh duh I forgot you updated the actual docs for it haha..
I need to go look through them myself now and clean up my own install!!

monotremata

Search the last bunch of replies in this post.. http://exult.info/forum/viewtopic.php?p=335830#p335830 Somewhere in there is when the configuration was changed and the instructions were posted by Dominus (and often messed up by me!) I was going to give you it in a nutshell but just looked at my Mac ...

monotremata

Yeah update to 10.4 or stick with the older 1.2 release of Exult and follow the documentation that comes with it. Were having enough trouble getting the snapshots to work on Tiger, no one is developing for OS 10.3 anymore.. I was technically since Im still on 10.4 but I could never make a static bin...

monotremata

Hehehe well when I did it months ago I did cheat.. I just teleported myself to the swamp as opposed to walking there and got it all done before she got poisoned..

monotremata

I do believe those tilesets are intellectual property owned by Electronic Arts and using them in any way other than playing Ultima 7 would be copyright infringement..

monotremata

Ok someone port it to Android now so Ill really get nothing done during the day!

monotremata

Well it seems to have miraculously sorted itself out now.. Maybe it was just too hot that day my port decided to quit working heh.. Its been working just fine ever since my last reply up there (keyboards typed into it now even).. Has been rather humid here at the beach and my Mac is sitting undernea...

monotremata

And go figure, after just noticing that I was no longer getting the Dead USB Controller messages, I just swapped my keyboard and lo and behold the port that was dead just a couple days ago works again... Maybe I could auction off my old Ultima's and get a new iMac or something hahaha.. Too bad my ch...

monotremata

Same crash unfortunately.. I was wondering if maybe we finally ran into one of those spots where SDL doesnt work on Tiger anymore but I just checked and were still on 1.2.14 which has worked so far (and SDLMAME still works ok).. Looking through my Console, Im seeing alot of weird errors from other a...

monotremata

Just for the record... May 5th snapshot also working just fine so far..

If I can get myself off of Super Mario Galaxy 2 Ill get a new game going of BG from the beginning (so I can FINALLY use the keyring mod!)..

monotremata

Same deal with both of the binaries in there.. Game works fine but clicking on any of those icons at the bottom of the paperdoll/portrait screen just goes crashola.. Reverted back to my working snapshot and everythings fine again.. May 5th?? Eeek I missed one! The snapshot Im running is from April 3...

monotremata

Wow that was pretty rad.. I loved going through Serpent Isle with Exult and figuring out where I had to teleport myself around.. That map was just nuts with all the crap crammed in there.. I wonder though why did they have to do it all on one big map like that?? Couldnt they have put the dungeons an...

monotremata

Gameplay seems to be working fine however... If you double click your character and open up his paperdoll window.. Click on any of the icons at the bottom (the heart, disk, etc..) and Exult's crashing out for me.... Heres the Console output for ya. Exult version 1.4.05svn Built at: May 31 2010 00:09...

monotremata

Could it be added as a new armor altogether??
I want my cool avatar uniform for me, screw the companions they can wear that red magic armor stuff!!
>:D

monotremata

Isnt the Mystic Armor just the 'Magic Armor' in U7/U7Pt2?? Cant remember if there was actually a seperate Magic and Mystic Armor in 4/5 and I cant even remember if there IS Mystic Armor in 6...

The Magic Armor in 7 looks more like the character on the cover of U5... I like yours better hehe..

monotremata

Umm..

You need to actually unzip the files.
Exult cant do anything with a zip..

monotremata

Yep you are correct sir!

New snapshot=ace.
Exultppc=green slime vision.

monotremata

Hehehe no worries! This might be fun to play its like you have green slime vision haha.

monotremata

Well it runs okay but the colors are seriously screwed in this newest snapshot. Is it possible to take screenshots in Exult (sorry never bothered before hehe)? Last snapshot works perfectly, but in this new one everything has a sick green hue on it. The Exult logo went from that Ultima 7 blue color ...

monotremata

In the brief bit I played with it today my sounds were ok opening up the menus and whatnot (like I said I didnt do a whole lot just made sure it opened and started my games).. I gotta say since I got the sound effects issue situated and figured out I had everything configured wrong, Im loving the ga...

monotremata

So far so good!! Although I just fired it up and opened both Black Gate and SI and wandered around for a minute or so hehe. I think Im gonna restart both games and this time use the mods. I didnt know about those until I was already well into both games and never wanted to start over but now that I ...

monotremata

Oh Im still here hehe.. I actually went with my buddy to a show the day after I posted that and STILL forgot to get my Leopard disk and my old iPod with Leopard imaged on it back!!!

monotremata

Oh the joys of dealing with now antiquated operating systems!! If I could just get it to build normally that would rock but even just trying to build it without the new static libs options, I still run into that wierd error where it cant find the imagewin.a file even though its in fact there.. Lucki...

monotremata

Ok latest GDB installed fine by hand. Exult-debug-ppc no worky though. When I hit run, it opens the executable but it just sits there and never loads.. Heres the terminals output for both the gdb run command and gdb bt.. After waiting for it to do something for like 10 minutes I just decided to do '...

monotremata

Well isnt this interesting.. Opened up Porticus, told it to install GDB... In the command window showing me whats going on right away theres a message * This port of gdb 6.8 fails to configure and build * There is a trac ticket to describe the issues at blah blah * Sorry for the inconvenience And of...

monotremata

Hahaha!

Ok well I grabbed the two snapshots you posted in the old one. Got the instructions so now Im gonna go install gdb now and get running!

Oh and yes if need be, the email address on my account here is and always should be up and working hehe..

monotremata

Oh sorry I snuck it in at the bottom hehe.
No Im getting the same error still.

monotremata

One last thingy I just noticed before Im off in regards to me compiling it... During configure, heres the lines regarding the png.h file: checking png.h usability... yes checking png.h presence... no configure: WARNING: png.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor! configure: WARNIN...

monotremata

Damn nope same error and everything in the console.. Does anybody out there still run 10.4 that could try it out?? I wonder if this has to do with 10.4 and some trouble it has with linking.. I ran into it earlier in the thread trying to do the original static compiles you came up with but those were...

monotremata

Just grabbed the newest snapshot btw that you were uploading as I typed that reply haha!

monotremata

Yeah I did the CXXFLAGS too.. I think Im gonna put em in my .profile just to be sure and Ill give it one more go hehe. No clue why all of a sudden its crapping out on me.. Files are all there (they actually live inside the Exult folder) so Im stumped hehe. As for the snapshot.. Date on the app is Ap...

monotremata

Ok run into yet another snag.. Is my Mac just going senile after all these years or something?? Ok so Ive now got your CFLAGS export in my .profile so no need to worry about that.. Since I couldnt get Macports all done properly, Im still using my Fink directory so mines export CFLAGS=-I/sw/include A...

monotremata

Radness!! But my dumbass already ran into a problem hehehe.. Configure works great with the new options, and disabling fluidsynth and timidity and enabling mt32emu... But make died while putting together the SDL stuff and I get a message that In file included from ./../audio/Audio.h:25, from intrins...

monotremata

One note when reading my posts... I have a tendency to post and then realize I did something stupid (if you noticed all my replies in there).. Anyways what you got going on is different then what happened to me. Mine didnt crash like yours did.. Mine just exited out when it couldnt find the data fil...

monotremata

"I've this urge to play Ultima 7 again, but I'm afraid that there might be a major update soon right after I finish playing it. " I dont know what more you think you would get out of it with a new release.. The games have been playable and beatable 100% for awhile now. Its really just been...

monotremata

No crashes here.. Just fired it up and tried both Black Gate and SI.. Black Gate I didnt have any containers near me to try so I just hit I and then opened my backpack.. In SI using both I and opening the couple bags/chests that were near me at the end worked also.. Man I see what you were saying be...

monotremata

Haha I hear ya!! If I wasnt so quick to post and then go retest stuff maybe the threads wouldnt get out of control and look like a mess hehe. Im glad after my 4-5 years of knowing about Exult, the Mac version has made such huge jumps in the last couple of weeks. Of course go figure nowadays my Mac's...

monotremata

Ok got the latest one running now.. Didnt have to delete the gamedat folders or anything.. I noticed while watching the console it was not finding the exult_bg.flx file which was still inside the data folder in the .app itself. I have the music files and the ogg stuff in the /Library/App Support/Exu...
