Co8 8.1.0 bugs

I was just playing 8.1 again, and had an odd bug. After I return a certain artifact to Terjon, he apparently can't heal me anymore. The only option available when I tell him I need healing is to acknowledge that Calmert can cure light wounds. I verified he could cure serious wounds right before I gave him the artifact, and that I no longer could immediately afterward. I'm going to dig into his DLG file to see if there's something off there...

 

OK, changing the "==" to "<=" in line 951 seems to do the trick. The new line should look like this:

{951}{I need to cure serious wounds.}{}{8}{game.global_vars[5] <= 1}{570}{}

I'll cross post this fix to the thread the mods helpfully made for me.

 

I have searched and I found that the Cure for Amii is a quest that may not be completed. How long should it take? I started at level 1 and some of my people are at level 7.

 

It's a matter of luck in random encounters. Sometimes it takes a while, but in my last playthrough I got the needed random encounter map very quickly. Just keep wandering between Hommlet and Welkwood or the moathouse and check the left side of every swamp map you encounter.

 

I have been doing that. I have also been avoiding some to see if the quest goes red and it hasn't. I have had it also take a short time but this one is one that seems to just be going on and on. I have completed every quest except for those in the Temple and after the final fight. I was just wondering when it will finally say it is over and go red. I read in one post (I searched the internet for swamp lotus and found that the quest may not be finished successfully) and I am just wondering when it will time out.

I have more information. I have restarted again and it seems there is something fishy going on. The gate with the harpies on temple level 1 wouldn't let me lift it (and I have a belt of giant strength +6). I am restarting and it has changed a bit. The last time when I first entered Hommlet, Kent wouldn't say much. This time, he said more. It looks like something was running around in the computer so I think it may be fixed.

And finally I can say that I found the Swamp Lotus and Amii is cured. I also noticed by thinking back that I was getting diseased every time I rested to restore spells at the Inn. I also did (in the previous run through) the temple tower fight and none of the archers this time fired a shot. They all went to hand-to-hand combat. It was one of the easiest fights there. The only other easiest was when no one fought back at all.

These may happen to other people and I don't know if they are a bug. I haven't reactivated the game in a while and I keep going through it. This was strange and I was wondering what was going on and how long the Cure Amii quest was going to go on. I have seen it fail but not taking as long as it originally did.

 

I never noticed this until just now, but it appears if you have a quiver of magical arrows equipped and are using a non-magical melee weapon, you can damage things that require a magical weapon to hit (groaning spirit in the case I just discovered).

 

Heh, I did recently fix a similar bug (it would appky the damage bonus). Should be easy to fix in Temple+

 

I've been recording a series on ToEE and just recently got to Verbobonc for the first time. I bought the castle and after talking to all of the ghosts and gathering their body parts, the game crashes whenever I enter either the top floor or cellar of the castle. Any workaround?

 

Can you upload the save?

 

Sure. I haven't done this before, which file do I upload? There's a .co8, a .tfaf, a .tfai and a .gsi.

 

All of them

 

Couldn't upload them by themselves, had to zip them up. Here you go, thanks for the quick response.

 

So the bad news is that I'm not sure what causes it. Might be one of the 1705 unculled spells in the spell registry...

But the good news is that the crash doesn't happen in Temple+, so whatever caused it is already fixed You can install Temple+ alongside Co8 and continue your game.

 

1705? Wow, I had to double check to make sure I read that right . I'll make sure to download it later, seems really neat actually. Not having a means to quick sell items and spell book not being alphabetical were really bothering me. Thanks for the help.

Edit: Definitely working now, thanks again.
