War of the Golden Skull Release: General Commentary and Discussion

That is strange. I dont know why it would not spawn the old man on the road. It should assuming you talked to Burne and he sent you to the road.

If you want to be good, you could talk to the priests of hextor in Verb and when they take the orb and tell you of the invasion, kill them, and then you should be sent to defend hommlet.

 

Paladins talking to priests of Hextor???

 

Just because your a pally doesn't mean you cant talk to people does it? Assuming you don't join their invasion of Hommlet, I would think a pally should not fall from grace.

How is a pally supposed to convert non believers without talking to them?

 

He's not.

Death to the Unbelievers!! Kill 'em all, let Heironius sort them out!

 

You can talk AND hack! :thumbsup:

I get the same thing as AtG, plus a lock up when I try to leave by clicking on a location on the world map.

 

Hmm, strange. Like I said I don't have time to fix it, but I don't know why it would not work. Can you check your global flags and let me know if 519 is 0 or 1?

Open the console (Shift + ~) and type

game.global_flags[519]

Tell me if it is a 0 or 1 please. It should be a 1.

 

I'll check it when I get home. :thumbsup:

Might take a day or 2.

 

Sounds great. Gonna try this in a minute. See if it will work with my current game.

 

Hmm well I tried it on my game.
Started with Burne ok. Fought old man/wizard but once I moved to the next scene my paladin became fallen.
And after beating all the hextor enemies some bug happened where I couldnt click any objects/entrances.

Recreated the fallen paladin bug but couldnt be bothered defeating the enemies again.

 

hello installed the update for the war of skulls...and decided to try a solo run (a cleric)..everthing was going fine...(leveld up to level 8 after clearing the moathouse)..quite funny to see my cleric demolish 7 gnolls with power attack, cleave and great cleavein one round. However, evertime i get a random encounter the game crashes.... this has not happend before....is this due to me doing a solo run with only 1 point on survival or something to do with theupdate...ta

 

It could be because of the update, though if it was it should only happen on 1 certain random encounter map (the river road map). What happens exactly? Do you see the map before CTD?

 

I've not had any random encounters before this, it stops as if a random encounters going to happen (theres's no map showing), the screen flickers and and crashes.

Im gonna try going back to an earlier save and see if i can get a random encouter i will also console in some survival points and see if that helps...(the crash happens every time at same point on the road between hommlet and emridy fields

 

Just played through the addon, neat stuff ^___^ Started with a lvl12 evil party with "cheats" - fragarach and the two non-humanoid NPCs. Without Oolghrist holding off the waves of enemies, I'd be a goner. And also thank God for "Spike Stones".


A couple comments/questions...

The elemental gems can still be used if you kept them separate from the skull. I'd be a good idea for those to be taken away as well if that's the intention.

The Quarry battle nets so much XP it's not worth it to negotiate. I got over 60k per character.

What's with the second door in the Quarry that keeps looping into itself? Creepy... >__>

Do the tools that the dwarven king carries do anything, or is it an unused/unfinished item?

Nice touch on NPC reactions. It is truly a pain to have to take out your own party member you raised from level 1 to 12, fully equipped; I was also sad that I had to lose my only rcane mage ;(

The Deklo battle was "ouch". Had to reload that one once. Greater Invisibility is a lifesaver though; in general, it's about as evil as the TOEE Broken Tower battle.

Loved taking out Terjon and Jaroo. I usually kill them for fun/XP anyway, and now I had a legitimate reason to do so

Overall, a fun addon, I'm hoping to see more of this in the future.

 

Thank you for the nice comments. What do you mean by the NPC reactions? I am a little confused. It might be a bug in the mod, it has plenty of those.

The tools are for the next part of the mod, which I doubt will get done since I dont think this fits with TotWC. They were needed to convince a new dwarf npc/mercenary in Homllet to become the new town blacksmith.

Glad you liked the mod. The battles were meant to be a little bit of a challenge.
