Circle of Eight Mod Pack 5.0.0 FINAL

Here it is!

As usual, Cerulean the Blue prepared the files for this release.

Kudos to him and to all other modders/contributors. You guys rock. :rock:

Please read the Release Notes if you want a detailed list of what's been changed/added since 4.0.0. And believe me, it's a looong list.

IMPORTANT: Read the Installation Instructions carefully. You can't miss them. They're shoved in your face right at the start of the setup. And don't forget to scroll down!

Agetian's ToEE Frontend requires Microsoft .NET. If you install the Frontend, you MUST start the game via the Frontend and choose the module "Co8-5.0.0".

Start a new game. Saved games from earlier Co8 mod pack versions or from the unmodded game will NOT work. You've been warned!

[EDIT by Cerulean the Blue] For those of you who wish to know what is in 5.0.0 without having to download the whole thing, I'm posting the Release Notes in both .doc and .txt format below. These Release Notes are revised, as the ones included with 5.0.0 Final had some unfortunate errors and omissions, for which I apologize. I would request that even if you have already downloaded 5.0.0 Final, please download these revised Release Notes.

 

Thanks for everything to all modder

 

Ditto, and by ditto I mean, Oh never mind. Thanx to the modders who serve to the benefit of all.

 

To the modders of TOEE...thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate what you've done to make this an infinitely better game than what was released some 3 years ago.

Btw...does anything need to be deleted from the verbobonc mod or are the files good to go in the 5.0 release?

Thanks.

The files are good to go, as long as you do not install them over a previous installation of 5.0.0 beta. If you have the beta version installed, you should uninstall it before installing the final 5.0.0 version.

Whether or not you saved games from the beta will be compatible with the final 5.0.0 version will depend on whether or not they were started after you installed the Cumulative Fixes that included the final Verbobonc Fix. If you were having problems in Verbobonc with 5.0.0 beta and the CF, then you will have the same problems in the final 5.0.0 version.

Bottom line is to play it safe and start a new game.

 

If I was running the Beta and have installed the CF Final, do I need to uninstall 5.0.0 Beta and download 5.0.0 Final for any reason? Or is the 5.0.0 Final release that same as 5.0.0 Beta with the CF Final?

 

It is basically the same. That's why I put the CF Final out there. If you are having problems with the game though, I would recommend uninstalling and installing the 5.0.0 Final.

 

Thanks, CB - I think I will put off another multi-hour download on my pitiful dial-up as long as possible!

 

Still waiting for the high speed modem I ordered last month, but I was curious.

On my current dial-up@aohell it would be a 4 hour download.:angry:

So... no 5.0 fun for me yet. :cry:

 

76 Mb. I'm going to be at this all night.
Thanks, guys. XD

 

Super work. Thank you

 

If this isn't the place to ask this, I apologize...but I am suffering from the looting bug after having downloaded the first two Atari patches and the 5.0.0 CO8 final mod (thank you). Is there anything I forgot to do, such as download an earlier mod version? Thank you for your patience!

 

@philosoph0123: Did you start the game via the Frontend and choose the module "Co8-5.0.0"?
