Circle of Eight Modpack v5.6 Bug Report Thread

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

The Moathouse Stirges are also problematic. They appear in various numbers, up to 8 so far. They get stuck during their turn in a fashion similar to the Emridy Skeletons.

You can get past the combat by fiddling with it and reloading a lot similarly to the Emridy Skeletons, too.

EDIT:

In both cases, something seems to go awry in the middle of a pc or npc turn.

1. State whether game is self-modded or not.
Modded as fuck (the merged-with-Temple-mod version), and yet...
2. State your operating system, service packs, and anti-virus software.
Vista (no SP?), ESET NOD32
3. State regional version of the game.
English.
4. State which version of Front End you're using.
Latest - TFE-X v2.2
5. State whether you're using barebones Co8 5.5.0 or an add-on pack.
Co8 5.6.0 + 5.6.1 upgrade addon + my stuff
6. State your problem in as much detail as possible.

• Delayed Blast Fireball:
  The save DC is screwed up - it generates a random DC between 0 and a very large number, which evidently seems to be wrapped around by the game to a very negative number.
  Thus, everyone always makes a successful saving throw.

  Suggested fix - see attachment. (includes Water Temple Pool Chamber treatment, too, and some code commentary)

PS I think it wouldn't hurt to have the bug-report template at the beginning of the first post.

 

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

An update to the Moathouse Stirge Problem:

After a clean delete and re-install, I am now unable to operate on the ground floor of the Moathouse because of the stirge problem. The regular 4 died in the original battle. But there are 4 "undead" ones who have been reduced to zero hit points, but have no blue circles and can't be targetted, but seem to attack normally. If I tediously move all of my party far enough away, combat stops, then immediately reinitiates after my initiative first player's turn. Repeatedly.

Yes, I clean the map cache before each game.

 

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

Must be 6 or 7 but there was none in vanilla. Never had a problem with them, they're easy to kill. Kill the first few around the door then go in and get the rest of them.

 

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

!. There were 4 only

2. No. They are co8

 

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

The problem was that there were 4 real ones, and 4 that could not be killed, leading to never-ending combat.

 

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

Never seen that one before. Kind of sounds like the old troll that wouldn't die thing. That got fixed a long time ago. It is aggravating.

 

Re: Circle of Eight Modpack Bug Report Thread

Strange, he doesn't seem to rush into my party.
Under what conditions does he do that? What is your party composed of? Are there any ranged attackers? Are they all visible to Falrinth? Who does he rush to? Are the bugbears there? Who is targeted by the spell when he does cast it? Does he cast it the same round when he rushes? Does he use melee?

How are her henchmen more badass than her, AI wise?

 

1. State whether game is self-modded or not.
Not self-modded.

2. State your operating system, service packs, and anti-virus software.
Windows 7.

3. State regional version of the game.
Uk.

4. State which version of Front End you're using.
Front-End X 2.2

5. State which version of the modpack you're using and whether or not you're using any add-on packs.
5.6.0 with the 5.6.1 add on pack

6. State your problem in as much detail as possible.

Ok just a couple of small issues and a question, so;

1. The Gold ring's long description (shift + click) displays - 'A small silver band'

2. The long description for the War Fan is too long and doesn't fit in the popup panel.

3. I don't know if this is a problem but is the dagger +1 price correct, its cost when selling is almost the same as a long sword +1.

4. And on the same lines as 3, Lareths staff of striking is cheaper than the dagger +1.

I just thought 3 and 4 where a bit weird.

 

This is correct. For magical weapons, the cost of the enhancement is added on to the cost of a the masterwork version of the weapon in question (and masterwork weapons in turn always cost 300gp more than the normal version of the weapon.) A +1 enhancement adds 2000gp to the cost of a weapon (in ToEE, the cost of an item is further modified by your appraise score). So the difference between a longsword +1 (15 for a normal longsword +300 for masterwork +2000 for +1) and a dagger +1 (2 for a dagger, +300 for masterwork +2000 for +1) is going to be negligable.

Merchants in ToEE pay you less for something if it's not the kind of item they normally sell. If you try to sell a wooden item (like Lareth's Staff of Striking) to the Brother Smyth, he's going to offer you less than he would for a metal item (like the dagger +1). The cabinet maker, on the other hand, will happily give you a good price for a staff, but will be less generous about a dagger.

 

He has a bunch of other AoE spells on his cast list before Phantasmal Killer (Shout, Cone of Cold, Fireball...). I'm guessing the reason he doesn't use them is that he can't target PCs without targeting his allies. (his AI uses the 'Fireball' targeting command, which tries to avoid that)

There might be a remedy, will have to test next weekend.

She can be made to flank. I'll look into it next weekend.
And by backstabbing I assume you mean crippling strike or sneak attack, that's just an innate ability being used when they flank you.
Is there really any "etc."?
