Exile ECS

T.R.Schmidt · 17 June 2002, 19:41

It runs fine with the newest WinUAE - but at the place with the spiders (far right, near fluffy), it prompts to reenter the disk.

If I do so, it loads, but then (also regarding to its programmer!) there is a copy-protection and the collision isn´t correct anymore (invisible walls everywhere).

Sadly the ADF and the HD (using WHD-Load) Version have the same problem. Does anybody know if there is a working Version ?

PS: for the interested, have a look at my Exile-Fansite at http://www.nemmelheim.de/exile/

I just upped a savedisk at http://www.nemmelheim.de/temp/exilesave_2.zip ( 9 kb) quite near the problem (fly straight up)...

18 June 2002, 21:16

Hey
sorry I can't help you with your prob, maybe you can help me with mine

YAY I'm so happy to be able to play exile again, but after I've flown down a bit (to about where you reach the first acid pool) the screen starts getting corrupted as things move :/ they like paint greyish blue images of themselves everywhere till i sly off and on screen, any ideas how to stop this? thanks in advance

T.R.Schmidt · 18 June 2002, 21:31

Mmh. Try using WinUAE 8.21 R4 and get the HD-Version from http://aiab.emuunlim.com/.

If this doesn´t work, send me a savedisk with the mentionend place, and I´ll have a look.

18 June 2002, 23:58

Yeah I've got that winuae, thats why I'm so happy it works ((was using a much older version from somewher elike winuae.com before @_@) Erm is there any way to run this straight from a floppy? Seen as I'm only on a p2 300 here and I'm wondering if workbench will kinda slow it down too much if its running too

T.R.Schmidt · 19 June 2002, 00:21

Sadly, I haven´t seen a good ADF-Version, maybe this has to do with the Copy-Protection (sometimes you have to enter a code) ?

But *with* the correct codes I could play until the mentioned position without any Problems. (But until there´s no acid, just water...)

I don´t think the HD-Version is slower in any way (it only will eat 1 MB ram), but it you don´t want to play from HD - try to get another adf maybe.

19 June 2002, 00:54

Well my adf works fine with water and acid but you start getting that drawing error :/ and i cant seem to the the ECS HD ver to work (don't like the AGA at all) I get an WDFload failed to start error or something

T.R.Schmidt · 12 July 2002, 21:04

Sooo...
I tried it another hour, I reinstalled the newsest WHDload, reinstalled the HD-Version from aiab, but it still crashed when loading from disk later in the game.

Did anybody ever try to play past this point (read above) ?

CodyJarrett · 13 July 2002, 08:11

I remember having this collision detection problem when playing a crack of Exile on a real Amiga. Perhaps it's a pirate protection scheme, which makes the game stop working properly if the game has been cracked?

T.R.Schmidt · 13 July 2002, 10:37

Regarding to it´s author, it is. Thats the Problem.

Galahad/FLT · 13 July 2002, 11:53

I will take a look at Exile, I have your save disk, and if I have time tomorrow, I will re-crack it. Sounds a similar problem as Hook/Ocean had, everyone missed the protection checks in that, would seem appropriate that Exile was missed also.

Once I have done it, I will give you a new WHDLoad slave to use and you can then playtest to your hearts content.

T.R.Schmidt · 13 July 2002, 12:39

Sounds great

Galahad/FLT · 16 July 2002, 23:15

Exile is now 100% cracked for WHDLoad, Bored Seal, and anyone else who 'cracked' it missed the second check later in the game.

Galahad/FLT · 16 July 2002, 23:24

For those that want to playtest this game..... all protection should now be removed.

Please let me know of any problems, but please do not spread beyond the confines of you guys.

Galahad rocks :thumbs_up

T.R.Schmidt · 17 July 2002, 19:19

I tried it - and it looks good

I´ll try to play it trough next week - then I know if it´s perfect.

However - thanks a lot :laugh :laugh

Please let me know when it may be spread.

T.R.Schmidt · 17 July 2002, 19:53

Oops, there is some (I hope minor) Problem:
after it prompts to place the Exile-Disk back in df0 it now loads and you can play on.

But if you want to save after this point (Help, Save Disk) it seems that the active disk is (virtually) the game-disk. It promps to format it, but I think this would quite destroy the image.

So, after the check, the (...virtual...) save-disk should be placed back in df0, then it should work.

Galahad/FLT · 17 July 2002, 19:57

No problem, just me forgetting to get the game to reinsert the save disk.

Keep on playtesting with that version though.

Galahad/FLT · 17 July 2002, 21:08

In the zone, the swap back to save game disk should now be fixed........ EXILE2.ZIP

17 July 2002, 22:41

galahad, thanks for doing this...

not sure, but is it possible to do extra's such as:
1) sprite collision off (go through walls)
2) get all weapons
3) unlimited x ?

4) is it possile to fix the disk version as well?
