Incline ToEE is fucking fantastic

[Sitra Achara]

FYI anatoliy from co8 has recreated an encounter from KotC in ToEE.

https://co8.org/community/threads/kots-challenge.13185/

Is it normal in this game for enemy ranged units to stand around doing nothing after they've run out of ammo? I used Temple+ and Circle8.

Usually they have backup weapons, but in the end it's up to the specific scripting / AI.

Well this enemy crossbow unit didn't have any melee weapon to switch to upon exhausting his ammo. He also didn't use any combat maneuvers against me. He just stood there while my monk punched him to death:

Also how do you get that Chalice mod to work? It's been spitting runtime errors at me every time I try to launch it:

It does run on the normal release build, just verified.
Just to make sure, in the module selection did you choose zmod_kots or zmod_kots_core? It should be the former.
If that's not it, can you post the logfile? It's in c:\users\USERNAME\Saved Games\TemplePlus

Old, but relevant. Also Facebook spyware threw this into my feed after I was reading this thread. God the modern internet is creepy.

Ah, apparently it relies on Co8 being installed as well. Comes with the territory...

Thanks. It worked. Apparently I had Circle of Eight installed but didn't activate it on the front end UI thingy. Works fine now:

By the way. Where do you find the Vampire Lord in the main game? I explored all of the temple but didn't spot him. He drops a rare sword

but I am playing Solasta right now (which is even better!);

TOEE didn't set the bar; it IS the bar.

:facepalm: Okay. I missed a room or two. It's okay. I was planning on doing another playthrough anyways.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Careful, the swords he wields or even the one you could get as a reward* require a specific alignment** to equip them.

Spoiler

*For freeing him from the Temple (you have to wait for 1/2 in-game month for rewards to show up, same for the princess you can free.

**I'm not sure, Chaotic Neutral, i think.

Nothing beats a holy reach weapon though...
Or Oolghrist with Frostbrand...

 

[Roguey]

Any non-evil alignment is fine, but good provides more benefits and chaotic good provides the best.

 

[Pink Eye]

Thanks for sharing the mod Sitra. First encounter is pretty easy - though it took me a couple of tries.

Spoiler

Sadly that's all she wrote for the mod. Only one encounter. Here's hoping the mod maker stays motivated to continue his work. It'd be cool to experience Chalice on ToEE engine.

What a fantastic rpg. Why does this not get shilled here more often?

After I got through the video game equivalent of ambien that is hommlet, this game opened up into one of the best rpgs I've ever played. Excellent combat, deep character building, gorgeous artwork and animations, great atmosphere, and an interesting soundtrack.

I tried it for the first time a few months ago and lost interest in the first village (even though I've been told countless times that it's the worst part and then it gets much better). I'll try my luck again once I finish what I'm playing right now.

However do NOT install the Co8 mod; it adds retarded weeaboo shit like Cloud's sword, pokeballs that act as Summon Monster scrolls, and various other demented faggotry.

Co8 Mod...avoid like the fucking plague.

Agreed. I would rather play the buggier version and bash my head against that then use that mod. The people who made that mod need to learn what it means when they say no added content. I want bug fixes, not what encounters they think make the game better. Essential mods should include only what is essential and nothing else. If I want extra content, i will choose that option.

You will never become a modder with this attitude

UI/Text doesn't scale well on higher resolutions. Had eye strains reading in game text, tried to make text bigger - turned out, you can't increase text size without breaking the UI. Also, those fancy animations that the game forces you to watch, become unreadable on higher resolutions. 800x600 is perfect for me. You do lose out on the view of battle field though. Another weird thing is how area of effect spells work on higher resolution. Remember I put wizard far away from fire salamander, but they still could throwi fireball from across multiple rooms.

According to d20 SRD the 3.5e range of Fireball is at least 400'. Considering you were playing at such a low resolution, it's no surprise those fireballs were coming in from off-screen.

2560x1440?

Game looks awesome at that res. All it needs is a zoom function and someone to figure out how to add bigger fonts.

Lv cap = 10.

hu3hu3hu3 just kidding. There are a lot of storyfags here. And ToEE is a amazing game for combatfags

The Temple of Elemental Evil was voted #21 in the Codex's original top RPGs poll from 2014, although it fell to #41 in the recent top 101 RPGs poll. It has the isometric perspective beloved by many Codexers, is one of the three games released by Troika which has a sizeable fanbase among the Codex, was released in the Codex's favorite time period, and appeals to all those who favor turn-based tactical combat. Not bad for a game that was a commercial flop, and it's still often promoted by Codexers albeit not with the frequency of yesteryear.
