A few things I've noticed. . .

Post by raven566 »

I'm using the newest release of Exult and I've noticed a few "small" bugs that I've seen in the past versions and I just want to make sure you're all aware of them:

-Items such as lockpicks, reagents, and coins don't automatically group themselves. And keys don't automatically add themselves to the keyring in SI.

-Sleeping still pauses for up to 10 seconds after a party member says "Pleasant dreams." Also, the Avatar will hop in bed instantly after you click on it, there's no walking. And upon waking, he instantly returns to the spot where you first were. Sometimes a party member doesn't even say anything, I just instantly hop into bed and goto sleep.

-An in game brightness and contrast adjustment would be nice. On the desktop I have the brightness turned down but in the game I need to have it turned up alot.

-In combat, I see the enemies and change to combat mode, but the enemies sometimes just keep walking past me and I have to walk in front of them to kill them. Other times they just stand still while I hit them, then when about half of their health is gone, the start fighting. Also, sometimes NPCs just stand around when they are suppose to be doing something. And tentacles seem to always spawn in Lord British's moat every time I walk by.

-Blood is constant, it never vanishes from the ground.

-The Hack Mover isn't as powerful as it is in the regular game. For example, you can't move yourself from a roof to the ground.

-It would also be nice to move with the arrow keys like in the original.

-Music is really nice, but different songs play at different volumes. For example, the fight songs and Lord British's fanfare play very loud while other songs play very soft. Also the sound effects are very soft. It would be nice to be able to set different volumes for music and sound effects and to have each song play at a constant volume.

-It would be cool to have a way to empty a container without destroying it, like with Ctrl-4 in the orginal.

Other than those few issues, this program is near perfect.

Brightness adjustment is in there.
It's called gamma correction and it is obtained by pressing the + and - keys in your keypad.

We do nothing to the music volume for the various MIDI tracks. If they are different in volume there is little we can do. Under Windows, use the Mixer to change the volumes to your liking.

Arrow keys: planned > 1.0

Your use of the word "bugs" is not proper, though. Exult does not aim for correctness and adherence to the original apart from the plot.

Hack-mover isn't intended to teleport yourself: use Alt-T for this
