Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

Has this happened before?: Got the Victims of Vengeance(?) quest as a result of failing (intentionally) to kill both traders in Homelett. Was prepared for the attack but after my sorcerer cast Ice Storm the next turn a blue enemy icon with a capital T on its face popped up that said 'Treasure map 2'. The combat won't end and I can't target this character- if it is indeed a real character and not an actual treasure map. Can anyone explain this?

 

It happened to me a couple of times. It's been a while, so I can't remember exactly what i did to fix it. I think it was just a matter or reloading the game and doing the fight again.

 

Don't suppose it would be possible to put an actual treasure map on the trader that springs the ambush, would it?

 

I've still not gotten to all of the new content yet but that strange marker just made me think of having a treasure map found in the game somewhere- doesn't have to be a real one, maybe just as bait for a trap? Or a real old fashioned Monty Haul adventure- I tend to think outlandish things make great adventure hooks...

 

Has anyone had this happen to them? Playing a CN party and I give my cleric Lareth's Staff of Striking. While in combat I can't find the access to determine the number of charges to use on the radial dial; also, when I cast Magic Weapon on it my cleric does an average of 210 dmg per hit as long as the spell is in effect.

 

I don't believe anyone has ever done more than just make an assumption as to how many charges are on LSoS. I think the consensus was it never ran out, if I remember correctly.

 

I believe he is making mention that the radial dial doesnt show where he can set it to 1-3 charges.
I actually thought that it never ran out either so I just set it at 3 every time and swung away..it did eventually run out and I lost the set the charges option on my radial dial.

Maybe this is what happened to you Ghennis is that its run out of charges and so no longer appears on your dial? Or has it not appeared on your dial since you first recieved it?

As far as casting magic weapon on it and getting 210hp of damage I have never cast that spell on Lareths staff so cannot comment or add anything, but that definetly would be a bug.

 

After installing patch 7.4.1 I am having problems with my saves. Everytime I have quit the game and later start it again the last 3 saves gets corrupted.
I have had problems with corupped save before but never on this scale and it have only happened after the game krached och could always be avoided by restarting the game before loading.

I patched the game when I was getting to the fire part of Temple Level 2 so I don't know if the problem is only there. Still, it's anoying having to replay the last part everytime I want to play.
Is this a known problem? Is there a way to fix it?

 

I've never used the charges so the use of them should show on the radial dial- unless the casting of Magic Weapon has bugged this, as Gaer has said that the 200+ dmg thing is a known bug...

 

It seems that installing the IWD portrait pack gives you missing portraits for goblin sergeants in Welkwood Bog. The IWD portraits used for the player characters are showing fine though.

Hah hah, I've learned how to cut and paste with an iPad.

 

The cave fight at Hickory Branch is great. It is difficult yet fun. I noticed a strange bug with the robe of midnight with Furnok's ring of invisibilty (no Furnok was no wearing the robe). If you map the robes of invisibility to a shortcut key, The shortcut key won't work after you have been inside the cave. However, the radial menu still does. I even left the robe outside in the barrel to redo the fight to see if that would make a difference but it doesn't.
