Re: Circle of Eight Modpack 5.5.x + CMF Bug Reports and Discussion Thread

How do I disable the starting shop and all the money (100 platinum? ????)? It feels like cheating to me.
thanks

Windows XP SP2
American Version
Clean Install
Patch 2
5.5.0_beta
TOEE Front-End X

Just a small note on the Shop-map crash, which I have experienced several times. The only save-games that have crashed have been ones where I had used the console commands feature prior to the save. Probably just a coincidence, but.......

 

I hope you didn't INSTALL TFE-X after 5.5.0.

I've found that using the the console can make the game ctd more often. But, it's more likely you stacked units of missile ammo. That's the usual culprit in such cases.

 

I assumed he knew what to do while consoling. You know, the console crash and the stackable item crash sound similar...

 

Hey ST -- I encountered the stackable items bug my first few attempts to play 5.5.0. It only happened when trying to get started after leaving the shop map (CTD every time). Worked fine after I made sure no ammo was stacked (just one unit of ammo per character). No console commands were employed in any case.

By the way, I've noticed no real problems stacking plenty of ammo since the game got started.

Not sure if the stacked items are related to a higher CTD rate than I'm used to, but this a new install on a Vista system I've never installed ToEE on before, so there are other variables. I'm also playing off the CD instead of the no-CD crack. I got tired of the anti-virus constantly tagging the no-CD file on my old XP system, that I decided I'd play off the CD on this one. Maybe playing off the CD is causing more CTDs (I seem to recall the no-CD crack was considered more stable when I went to it years ago). Anyway, the CTDs seem to occur primarily in three different scenarios: 1) Entering/exiting a portal (door, ladder, etc.); 2) Using the extraplanar chest (especially in crowded areas); 3) Attempting to save while my characters are still in motion. I now try to save whenever I am about to go through a portal (especially if I haven't saved recently) and before using the EP chest. (And make sure my characters have finished moving before saving.)

 

I'm having a few odd little bugs. I'm at the temple area now, I tried to add Otis, he agreed but I can't seem to actually have him join though he says he's ready to go. I got rid of elmo as a test then tried to add (so there was extra room) but still no.

With Burne, the optinion to ask him to join is not there. I only have 2 optinons now
Ask him to try and say goodbye, same with Rufus.

 

I didn't even realize this game HAD a console, so tally one for "no."

 

I have encountered the stacked items bug both in KOTB and the new shopmap, but I've never opened the console in my entire gaming life.
