  1. Game News Circle of Eight unleashes 5.8.0

    Hi all, This is actually a bit different bug than the one inquired about by deuxhero. That one has indeed been fixed - you can browse masterwork inventories without issue now. The refresh bug is simply a matter of merchants not getting rid of stuff you sell them, and not restocking their...

  2. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    Some players have reported that the nodes lockups are less likely if you minimize screen movement (scrolling), but there's really no way to avoid them, no. Regarding your other points ... Tillahi: the rewards beyond the 100 platinum are determined by alignment. Good parties get a suit of...

  3. Custom Portraits in ToEE

    I suspect that the SP portrait pack(s) aren't compatible with Co8 5.6.x. portraits.mes and portraits in general have been modified rather significantly - and likely since those packs were released.

  4. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    Okay, looking across the map in an easterly direction, we have another corridor along the southern edge that has ghouls in a room at one of its ends that are there in both vanilla and Co8 5.6. There are no corpses in this corridor.

  5. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    We didn't alter that scenario at all for the latest release. Well if you've got saves that are working now, that's not necessary. Don't use quicksaves btw.

  6. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    Strange. If you're not too far along yet I'd suggest you start over, and reactivate Co8 5.6.0 for good measure. (Activate another module such as vanilla, and then activate 5.6 again.) The spell list bug is known and was fixed in the 5.6.1 patch.

  7. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    Did you by any chance console in any items? ToEE usually crashes like that (straight to desktop) when you try to load a save that has an 'illegal' (i.e. bad proto) item in it. That could also happen with the shopmap bug mentioned above, but only if the game was saved on the shopmap.

  8. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    Also tested the Kelno fight in vanilla and he gets no assistance from his guards. (The door is closed in fact. I suppose if you snuck over and opened it and then started combat with Kelno, they might join if they were in line-of-sight. Or if you were wearing air robes and came from the other...

  9. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    Okay, I tested vanilla ToEE Temple level 1 (earth temple) in the southern corridor with the corpses lying on the ground. No zombie ambush. In order to test this yourself, do the following: 1. Launch the Co8 front end like normal. 2. Activate the vanilla module, called simply 'Temple...

  10. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    KotB is still in development. Last I heard from Shiningted was that he expected the full version to be released in 2009, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. I know they've been working on it - maps, quests, battles, characters, etc. for the Caves of Chaos - steadily. It's not dead in the...

  11. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    I'll check on Wonnilon, but I don't believe we did anything to change him. This last release did very little to change anything in the temple, and I don't believe Kelno was modified at all. I'm not challenging your recollection, but my own familiarity with ToEE over the last several years tells...

  12. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    The AI of that entire party is not all optimized yet, so yes they could stand some improvements (and additional gear) and could be quite a bit more difficult. Is the idea to in fact make them unbeatable though? If you're playing your alignment, they give you no reason to attack them - unless...

  13. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    That's because you got all that XP from killing the party in Nulb. Seriously. If you hadn't done that your party would probably be level 6-7 or so in the earth temple and facing a much greater challenge. You're probably thinking of the corridor in the middle of that level. A bunch of skeletons...

  14. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    No, it's always been that way, unfortunately. Allies of slain priests etc. definitely should become hostile if you kill their leader, but that kind of scripting was sadly lacking in ToEE. The temple is really pretty dumb - they basically don't react to anything other than whether you're wearing...

  15. LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

    There will always be bugs, sadly. I'm sure that 5.6 = fewest and vanilla = most, however, despite the fact that you're running into 'new' ones. Fixing bugs often times makes more bugs and it takes a few cycles to iron it all out. Hence 'beta,' as you say. Unfortunately we don't know what's...
