Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

I had planned to use Elmo for a few fights only and not throughout the game so when he was slain by the hill giant at EM i removed him from party during the fight for some reason.
So the game might think he was not part of the party.

 

I have a problem with the vendors. Everyone re-stock their stuff but not Jinerth or Jakk Borton & Bing. Does someone else have the same problem, or do I have a corrupt save/bad activation? And do I have to start a new game if I try the deactivate - re-activate?

 

Could someone give SPECIFIC direction on how to get into the new content

I know I have to talk to Captain Renton, but sadly I am not sure where he is at.

I have stormed through much of this, thinking I would get into some of the new content just as I played through the new release version. But now I am nearing the end (I have cleared out the four nodes and ready to go after Zugger...)

Would like to see the new content, hopefully it is not too late.

Can someone give precise directions (Mainly WHERE to contact people are at) for all of (or whatever you know) new content

Thanks

 

Captain Renton is found in the last cottage on the road that leads westwards at the very south of Hommlet [the road that the path to the woodcutters cottage leads from]

(You use intimidate on Captain Renton to complete tailor Jinerth quest)

Follow Renton's dialogue options to get him to describe undead infestation, accept quest (but ignore as it is a level 1 scenario) and go back to Smythe

Ask Smythe for something different (orc infestation)

You only have to ask as directed to get to next step - the chest in front of anvil

Once you have used the book in the chest to visit the arena the first time, Smythe will be prepared to tell you about The Moathouse Respawn [talk to the little boy who greeted you at game start] and then Verbobonc.

You have left these quests very late - If you have the Golden Skull do not accept Smythe's invitation to talk to any adventurers until your party is say L14-15

 

Whenever in doubt about new content, your first stop should be Brother Smyth.

Section 11 is How to access the new content.

 

Started a new game and quite enjoying it, but the voice audio seems to be behaving most oddly. No sound when selected, sent to places etc, but when sent to go to another area they unfailingly say the correct sound sample. Is it a bug, a feature or did I miss something simple in the options? I checked the option settings and party banter is set to on for what it's worth.

 

Activated vanilla and then reactivated 7.0.0 NC - to be safe I used only the vanilla voice set, one dwarven fighter... he still talks erratically, not when selected or told to go places, but talks when asked to attack or overburdened or sent to move to another are. Go figure.

 

Does the hall monitor position come with a cool badge and really big banning hammer? :evilgrin:

 

I just had the Scarlet brotherhood random encounter. It was very cool how you got the arrows to have a poison effect, I wish other weapons could do that..

But anyway, I killed them all (thanks to my spellcaters and monk) but where can I find my gear? I had a lot of enchantments on some of it.

edit: How do I enable the console in my game? Pressing shift+` doesn't work, I've never used it before.

 

I didn't have Elmo in my party but I did have Fruella. She was killed by some lizards in a random encounter while she was still a member of my party. As soon as she was down, I could see the log book flashing like something had changed. I checked it and saw that I had the butcher rep. This had never happened before. Up to this point, only Spugnoir and Furnok had died. Are either one of them in the Hommlet faction? I am certain no one else had been killed in Hommlet.
