Circle of Eight Modpack 5.8.x/5.8.xNC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

Hi all. I am having trouble getting the game working.

I have done everything I was meant to(I do have the latest firmware)
I manage to get it to the main menu and it hangs after a few seconds and just stays like that?

Help would be greatly appreciated(I really want to play this game without all those bugs and finally finish it)

I got it going and it rockselvicthr Well done to you guys. Made my day.

Now I must admit it is very difficult.

 

I get this every once in a while, just Alt-Esc to drop the game down, wait a few seconds, then bring it back up and the cursor should be unlocked.

 

They *don't* appear at their original spots, that's the problem. ;-)
Despite not being visible they are at these points and hurt . Checked along the path I entered by and found Lord Ruff, Thunder Thighs (don't expect me to remember her name after the imagery she put in my head), Kellop, and Noblig all to have ghosts at their original spots.
I have a save made immediately after defeating the surprise party outside the cave, if you need it.

Incidentally, I cannot use the 5.8.0 NC BETA on my XP Pro 64 bit installation at all. Loads up normally but keyboard and mouse are ignored at the main menu. Works fine with the Atari version.

 

Just tried with summoned creatures. Yes they do target these guys (I tried it on Lord Ruff's ghost). Also Spiritual Weapon works too. ;-)

 

I am finding the mod makes this game very pleasant to play.

Just want to thank the guys responsible for it

 

So... Gaear.... when do you think 5.9 is coming out? We looking at a week from now? Two weeks? Surely it cant be more than 3 oke:

 

But that is over 2 months away! What are we paying you for!

Thanks. Did not know there was an updated release schedule.

 

Well, I know, Im a hit on the balls... But I just have instaled the mode - and loved the new robes and hats and acids and medkits and glasses and the other new-things-that-I-dont-remember-right-now-but-that-are-freaking-nice - and have noticed the samething of ever about pre-generated characters: Wrong hairs and strange voices. I know. I'm probably the only player that really wants t play with pre-generated characters... But what shall I say?
Ah, and abouth this, Tordek its with the wrong picture. He is the guy with helm and brown beard, and not the old green-armored one. Same for Mialee. Her picture its actually being used for an evil wizard - cant remember the name right now, so its probably just a question of echanged pictures.
There are any way to fix this things?

And, damnit! Thanks ya people so much for keeping this modes comming and comming always more and more intresting!

 

Is there anything cool about Tulk and Pulk, the 2 orc prisoners you release along with the half naked broads in the temple? Are they both 6"-10" tall maybe? Or maybe have some kind of monstrous feats? Anything to make them stand out from a regular PC besides being orcs? Will you be shunned in town if you take them into the party? Will orcs not ever attack you if you have them? Do they have any quests associated with them or any cool dialog with other NPCs?

 

Link doesn't show, and what changes were made?
