Ethicality basin didn't fill with water

Hi all,

I passed the test of ethicality, but the water basin at the shrine didn't fill afterwards so I can't get the water of ethicality. I tested restoring old save points and passing the ethicality test again, but the same thing continues to happen. I would like to just cheat to get the water. I've tried 2 ways of doing this, but have been unsuccessful.

1. I found an item # of 810 (1, 14) for water of ethicality. I can use the shape browser to find item 810 frame 1, which is a bucket of water, but from what I gather I need to be able to switch the "quality" to 14 to make it water of ethicality. I could not find a way to do this through the regular cheat menu or through Exult Studio.

2. I tried turning on egg display and can see an egg next to the basin at the shrine. When I double-click the egg, the basin graphic briefly changes to being full of water but it goes right back and I don't have time to fill a bucket. Any way to make the egg "stick"?

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions... I don't have much technical knowledge about the workings of the game or Exult. I was just trying to play through both U7's, which I haven't done in 10 years or so. Thanks very much for providing a way for me to do this!

can you provide a savegame right when you passed through the serpent gate into the temple?
I just tried with a savegame, cheat teleported to the temple and easily passed the test and had water in the basin...

it seems you are using a VERY old version of Exult. The savegame was last saved with Exult version 1.4.03cvs Built at: Jul 23 2007 10:35:36
With the current latest version 1.4.9rc1 I cannot reproduce this.

Well, my face is red. After installing the new version of Exult and then figuring out that I had to move the savegame files to the new folder, everything worked perfect. Even the savegames that were created after I passed the ethicality test now have water in the basin. Thanks!!!

(and thanks again to everyone at Exult for a great program... it really is fun to play these games again after so many years)

Good that it is working out now :)
The reason why the savegames afterthe test work is the usecode egg next to the basin, it's checking your flags and since you passed the test.... :)
