Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

I see your point there about evil parties. I don't think IWD makes much distinction in that regard. I'll try and start up an evil party and see what happens in my original IWD game.

But if a good party is rewarded for being good, then an evil party should be equally rewarded for being evil, no? evil lives matter

PS: thanks for moving my post to the proper thread. I noticed my mistake afterwards.

 

Thanks for the quick patch. I will try it Friday evening. I've got to get some sleep and I've a busy day ahead of me.

I'll need to check some old saved games from my current run through of the original IWD to see what values were assigned to the wolf pelt. I don't remember what the Yeti pelt was paying. In one of the walkthroughs that I have it says that the wolf pelt is paying you 250gp.

I don't recall if IWD pricing is based on reputation, but I shouldn't have a bad rep in my current game. I do know that IWD will start to offer you less if you sell the same items repeatedly to the same store...supply and demand...you keep selling the same loot to a shop and he will start paying you less.

I really like the current RE work that Ted has done. Some of them are a bit tough, but it is a dangerous area after all.

Keep the RE as they are, but maybe consider adding in an option to allow the hermit to watch over you while you rest (this type of thing is being done by three different people in Chapter 2 in various maps). And it would be kinda neat if your party was randomly wounded from the avalanche, but these are both a step away from the original game.

But I guess if the hermit will allow you to rest, then there is little reason to be hurt by the avalanche since you can simply rest it away.

 

After I apply the 7.2 fixes, I am assuming I can use a saved game from the initial shopmap just prior to entering Easthaven, or use my first saved game from within Easthaven, yeah?

Meaning that I don't need to start a completely new game and go thru the entire startup process again of selecting the party members and purchasing items again.

 

Thanks, @Allyx

I'll to the same for my default party, too.

For the original IWD game there have been a number of mods made out there. Most are tweaks of the rules and adding spells, etc, which we don't need to worry about for the conversion work that you are doing here.

There is one called Unfinished Business, and the modders saw that there are dialog and plot points that were in the code, but not in the game, so they added them back in.

Would this be a consideration for addition into your work here?

I am in the midst of playing with the 7.2 patch. Right now I am just starting the Orc Cave.

Hrothgar's chest is still a click-twice chest, but I don't think it is worth too much effort to fix, but I'll leave that to your decision.

There is one thing that I noticed in Patch 7, but I forgot to mention it in my previous post. Now playing with 7.2 I can confirm the trouble:

When I first enter the Orc Cave and you complete the battle with the three orcs at the entrance, after the battle it is not possible to cast any spells. If you exit the cave, then you can cast spells. I'd have to confirm if this occurs at other locations of the cave, but I don't think so.

 

The chest is fixed now, thanks.

I am not sure what value you assigned to the pelt, but Pomab will pay me 145gp for it, so that is much better than the original value. I checked my original IWD game and Pomab was offering me 225, and in Kuldahar the smithy is the only merchant that will buy it and he gave me 250 for it.

For the issue in the cave, I've attached two of my saved games. One outside the cave, before I entered, so you can do the battle when you enter, and one saved game right after the battle.

I think the issue is related to your shaman pre-buff AI.

When I attempt to case Cure Light Wounds on my bard, I get three possible reactions:
1) The recipient will get a Will save, and if he saves then nothing happens.
2) if he fails his save, then the recipient will have Bull Strength applied to him.
3) Some times there will be a little floaty red text saying "Cannot cast spells"

In either case, the spell that I cast is not consumed from my memorized spell list.

If my wizard attempts to cast sleep on the party members, one of two reactions occur:
1) the party goes into "battle" stance, but the spell is never cast and then they go back to normal mode.
2) I attempt to case the spell nothing happens at all. The icon changes into the "magic spell" icon, but when I click somewhere the icon reverts back to normal and nothing happens.

In either case the spell is not consumed from my memorized spell list.

 

That's a known ToEE engine bug, which happens when an NPC casts a spell while the player's spell targeting UI is active. Fixed in Temple+

 

Interesting. Thanks.

So I need to stand there and wait until the shaman have finished casting their spells before I cast spells?

And I suppose that if I leave, rest, and return, then this issue will/may occur again since the shaman recast their buffs again when I reenter the cave, yeah?

I think it is more prevalent at the beginning of the cave when the battle starts immediately when entering, so when the battle is completed, that is the first time that the shaman get to start casting their buffs, and you would want to heal or buff yourself before proceeding down further into the cave.

Further along in Chapter 1 and 2 (and probably further along in the game, too), there will be a few other maps like this. You enter the map and trigger a battle immediately, and afterwards you want to heal/buff but the other enemies deeper in the map will be buffing themselves at the same time.
