About Items in U7 and U7 SI

[NecroViolator]

Hi there...
I was wondering if its possible to Remove all weight from all items ingame ???
Its not really cheating, just a question if there is a way to remove them...

Not Wall Hack, or that Hacking thingy...
I mean all the items you pick up like Weapons/Armor/Gold and such...

Thanks...

[drcode]

Not really, unless you want to edit the items' weights in ExultStudio.

[Michele]

Keep in mind that any item set to 0 in weight will no be movable in a normal game other than things in containers.

[NecroViolator]

Ahhh, ExultStudio has a nice Ring to my ears...

Wheres that at ??? ...

Nah Im just tired of only carrying a few items when I should be carrying
anything I choose...he he...

Thanks....

[NecroViolator]

Never mind... Found it ...
Didnt see the little "Studio" button ontop...LOL...

[NecroViolator]

Uggg...
Tried it but it crashes before starting up...

Need the latest SnapShot.exe and not the Release ???
So this means I install 1.4 and use instead of 1.2 ???

1.4 doesnt run in Vista... So Im doomed... ...

Thanks...

[NecroViolator]

No Edit...Hmmm...

Heres what the .out file says :

Black Gate : not found (.\static\endgame.dat)
exult_bg.flx : not found (data\exult_bg.flx)
Serpent Isle : not found (.\static\sispeech.spc)
exult_si.flx : not found (data\exult_si.flx)

??? Am I missing something ???

[Dominus]

seems you haven't adjusted paths in exult.cfg.
Why doesn't 1.4 run on Vista? What's the symptoms?

Nah Im just tired of only carrying a few items when I should be carrying
anything I choose...he he...

you should really activate the hackmover then, much easier, since

Keep in mind that any item set to 0 in weight will no be movable in a normal game other than things in containers.

(interesting, btw, didn't know this)

[NecroViolator]

"""seems you haven't adjusted paths in exult.cfg.

Ive got everything in the CFG perfect, I install 1.4 over the 1.2...
Then start it up and then I see the first menu and music runs...
Then I chose Serpents Isle and I see the Red flashing around and
then Vista just says "Program stopped working"
I get to choose "Cancel Program" or "Send Error Report"...

And the 3D Exult doesnt work either, saying something about some
DLL file...

I can Install the 1.4 again and hopefully Copy the Error it makes...
Ive uninstalled it to play on 1.2 again...
But I can install again...

[NecroViolator]

Uggg...
Well, I installed 1.4 and it shows the Intro and just turns totaly off, no Error messages no nothing...Just off...

I turned OFF in the Menu the Intro and Frist Screen, Turns totaly off as well...
I turned OFF the Intro and ON the First Screen, same problem...

The game turns Total OFF...



And the 3D Exult doesnt work either in Vista...Shame I was really looking to try this out... ...

Thanks...

[Colourless]

Hmm.. no workies in vista? I'll check it out.

[NecroViolator]

OK thanks...

And check the Studio as well, cause it doesnt work either...
Wonder if Ive missing Files ???

The game crashes right after the Blue Haze just before game turns on, then
what a wonderful Desktop I have comes on...

[NecroViolator]

Heres what I get from Exult Studio...

Black Gate : not found (.\static\endgame.dat)
exult_bg.flx : not found (data\exult_bg.flx)
Serpent Isle : not found (.\static\sispeech.spc)
exult_si.flx : not found (data\exult_si.flx)

Have I missed something ???
Because it never turns on, just crashes...

[marzo]

Just to be sure: did you install Exult Studio in the same folder as Exult? If not, do so -- they both use the same configuration file.

[Vasculio294]

I haven't used Exult in ages. But did you guys ever import the death scythe in Serpent Isle?

[NecroViolator]

I DID install everything in the same Folder...
I read the Installing process and did exactly what it says...
I sis this from the start, and I got that error I posted a few posts ago...

[Michele]

For the heck of it, open up the Exult.cfg and find out where it thinks the games are installed.

Black Gate : not found (.\static\endgame.dat)
Serpent Isle : not found (.\static\sispeech.spc)

These 2 should be in the static folders of their respective games, being they are part of the original Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle.

Check the path for each to see that it matches the actual path to the game.

[NecroViolator]

Hmmm...
I dont have those lines in the Exult.fcg file

When I check my U7 (Serpent) Dir I see:
The "Endgame.exe" in the root dir, but nothing else...

I do see the "sispeech.spc" in the Static Dir ...

Thanks...

[Dominus]

please post your exult.cfg and pleae tell us where you installed BG and SI.

[NecroViolator]

I uploaded to FileFront but something is wrong because I cant see the File...
And when I upload again it says the file exists but I dont see it in the List so, Im pasting the CFG...

This is V1.2... I installed it again or I wont be able to play...
All I did was install 1.2 and everything works...
Then I installed 1.4 (Didnt touch ANY Config) and the game always crashes/turns off right after the Red/Blue water effect for starting the game...
Directly after the "Effect" before start it turns off and you see Desktop...
I think maybe its something to do with DirectX ???
Just guessing...LOL...

Thanks...

[Dominus]

try that:
http://exult.info/docs.php#path_config

Note: Better don't use spaces in the path (e.g. c:\exult\the black gate\). Some people seem to have problems with that.

it might be that 1.4 is more sensitive to spaces in the paths again.


Edit: just tried on XP and it worked fine here.

So if that doesn't help you,
- try to install Exult 1.4x to another folder (not over 1.2)
- edit exult.cfg in the new folder to point to the games
- in your games folders empty the folders gamedat (f:\ultima 7\Gamedat and f:\ultima 7 Serpent Isle\gamedat)

if it still fails, please post the whole of stdout.txt

[NecroViolator]

I actually DID install Exult 1.4 in a Folder by it self from the beginning...
It didnt work, so Im going to try to RENAME the Game DIR and see if this works better...

[NecroViolator]

Well, sad to say Ive tried everything and still Blue Water then Desktop...
Crash to Desktop...

Heres the stdout file...
http://files.filefront.com/stdoutzip/;6 ... einfo.html

[Michele]

What does the file stderr.txt have to say, if anything?

[Dominus]

ok, another try.
Please post the exult.cfg of the 1.4 version (you wrote above that the exult.cfg is the one of 1.2). And no need to upload them to something like filefront, it's much faster for you and us if you copy paste it here.

Is your file system NTFS and do you by chance have the wrong file write permissions?
Does that folder exist: f:\ultima7SI\gamedat ?

[NecroViolator]

Well, 1.2 works perfect, so should 1.4...
I dont think Permission is the problem because thats turned OFF ...

This is in the Exult Dir...
Yes, the "gamedat" does exist and endgame.dat Doesnt exist in the game dir...

Wonder why the Studio Editor doesnt work either ???

[NecroViolator]

Heres the funny error from the Studio...

Black Gate : not found (.\static\endgame.dat) <- The file is in the BG dir
exult_bg.flx : not found (data\exult_bg.flx) <- The file is there
Serpent Isle : not found (.\static\sispeech.spc) <- The file is in the SI dir
exult_si.flx : not found (data\exult_si.flx) <- The file is there


So I get the feeling that Im missing some Paths somewhere ???

Thanks....

[marzo]

Can you also post the stdout and stderr files?

I know this question will probably seem stupid to you, but when you write:
[quote]Black Gate : not found (.\static\endgame.dat)

no

[NecroViolator]

I tried to turn sound off plus I tried to turn off all sound...
Still the same problem...

Heres the Game Directory Structure...

[Michele]

Which Windows is that running under?
I've never seen a File Manager/Explorer window quite like that.

[NecroViolator]

Its Total Commander...
The one and only File Archiver that rules ...

Its a awesome program for files...
