Avatar Pack: shapes not working

Post by Green »

I just tried using the Avatar Pack (from http://exult.info/seventowers/downloads ... n=0&page=3) with Exult. I used the version available for download at the time of posting this message (both Exult and the Avatar Pack).

What happens:

I see the new faces available for selection, but when I pick the red-headed female version, it reverts to the blonde female avatar (with the new blond portrait) when starting the game. When I browse shapes in the cheat menu I can`t spot the shapes for either the female or male redhead. I think bucket-head is also missing.

The problem occurs with both standard SI and when using SI fixes. My data folder (for SIfixes) or my patch folder (plain SI) contains all the files in the data folder of the Avatar Pack, including a shapes.vga sized 147kb.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or this is a bug?

Hmm, it's no longer compatible with SI Fixes. Kind of my fault, since Marzo added plain sails (without the ankh) on my suggestion.

I'll look later if I can reproduce with plain SI.
