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

Yes, the JPG file is there. It is the TXT file that seems to be missing.

Thanks for the suggestion on how to de-activate 7.4NC. I'll do that soon.

BTW -- is there a chart or thread somewhere that explains the descriptions that go under our avatar? Seems to be related to the number of posts.

 

Nope ... We just all think you're a Troll Berserker.

 

I just finnished the game and I did not get an ending movie. All I got was the death scene of the end boss. But nothing about what happened because of my actions. As I undertand it's supose to come after the final battle but nothing. Does that have to do with the mod?

 

When playing NC, you need to go back to Brother Smith and talk to him about retiring. This allows you to keep playing after you've killed her.

 

Aha. Thanks!

Edit: I did not get the "Prince Thrommel was in your party to help you kill Zuggtmoy" part. I guess it has to do with him leaving before the end movie.

 

I'm curious -- where are those final scene movies stored? I can see lots of movies in data\movies , but none of them are the "here is what happened because of your actions" type of scenes.

 

I do not seem to have either a ToEE2 or ToEE3 directory. The root directory for ToEE is
L:\atari\Temple of Elemental Evil
and searching on that directory for any file or sub directory with word "slide" comes up empty.

Perhaps things are different because I have ToEE from an Atari anthology disk (had BG1, BG2, IWD1, IWD2, ToEE, and PS -- all for $20 from Amazon).

While I have your attention: In the instructions for installing new mod pack, you said to remove the jpg, the tfm and the txt file for the old mod. I do have a few 7.4 files left and wonder if I should delete them (or if it matters). They are: a tfs file in root directory, plus a tam file in a subdirectory under the addons directory.

Thanks.

 

Is the quest 'Frozen Assets' something new? I've talked to Prince Zook IV and have dealt with the drow and the dragon. Searching other areas of the city now but no luck as of yet but have met Darlia(?). Is Frozen Assets actually the start of the infamous Slavers quest or is it something different?

 

Of course- Ice dragon, "Frozen" Assets- and here I thought only I liked terrible puns...:shame:. So I guess once I talk to the Viscount the quest will log as completed? And BTW- since I have a paladin in my current NG party I killed Darlia when he tried to have me go after the jewel merchant in Nulb. What are the consequences, other than having the Brotherhood after me?

 

I've used search and looked at other threads but I still need help with this quest- the Ghosts in the Castle. I've read that after resting you should wait for the ghost to start a dialogue after combat starts but they never do- they just scream and disappear. I've tried resting in the basement and bedroom, I've rested during the day, I've attacked and not attacked when they appear- and the only thing that happens is that they scream and disappear. I've had my cleric use Turn Undead but after a few times a red tent icon appeared- I could no longer rest in the castle. I actually found a ghost wandering around on the second floor of the castle after the red rest icon appeared but it was unresponsive to the talk icon. I know there was a patch posted for this- is it still available? (Playing 7.5 BTW)

 

Is it possible to please, please, please remove Darley and Ooglish's monster attribute so that I can bring them around town? They're such interesting and cool characters, and it's such a royal pain removing them from the party and putting them back in just to talk to ye old peon.
