Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

Hi Allyx, sorry for my late reply, again. Sometimes I receive an e-mail notification, sometimes I don't. And speaking of e-mails, did you get my e-mail I sent you last week with a map? If you don't, we need to see what is going on. I may need to send you a single file per e-mail because the *.png files are big. I have other maps to send you, but first I need to know if you are getting my mails.

I saw the spreadsheet. Thank you, now I can work on the proper maps.

 

OK, very nice. I've downloaded the new slimline version and played it thru.

I am certainly glad to help out in any little way that I can.

Here are the little things that I've seen:
1) There are three saved games that are included in the zipped file. At least they were already in the list when I save/load games.
2) My saved games within the town are shown as the Moathouse, and my saved game in the caravan/cave area are showing as Hommlet
3) Jhonen - Is he wearing a dress, or just flowing robes? I walked by him a few times thinking he was a female. No real need to change things, but I'm just curious if this was the look you were going for.
4) there are a few dialog windows (maybe 2 or 3 iirc) that have the many lines of text of item #1 overlapping #2. I don't know how to take screenshots during the game, but I can snap a shot with my phone camera, if needed. I'd have to play thru from the beginning as I didn't really take notes on exactly who I was talking with.
5) I think I can enter into Pomab's shop without opening the door. I just click near the door and I enter in the shop. I think I saw this happen at the fishmonger's place, too, but it is more consistently happening at Pomab's.
6) when I was in the Inn, and I went to talk with that elf in there (sorry - forget his name), his door was closed to his room, and when I clicked on him my character just ran right through the closed door to talk with him.
7) for Aspel's Workshop, you pick the lock to enter in to fight the wolf, but after you battle and exit to complete the quest, I noticed that the door is locked again after resting. Is this by design? I guess that broken key is still stuck in there, yeah?

In the grand scope of things these are just things to polish up a bit.

It was my first time playing IWD since so many years ago when it was first released. Brought back many memories and it's leaving me patiently waiting for more.

I will certainly start over again.

 

I've played some more today (don't tell my boss I was playing instead of working )

There is an issue with exiting a house. To the left of Hrothgar's house there is a little house with a female townsperson standing in front of it. When you exit that house there is a good possibility that one of your characters will materialize on the segment of porch that is behind the door, in front of the window, and there is no way for that character to walk off out of that area. Even if you close the door, you can only walk back and forth in front of that window, but you can never leave that segment of porch. I have a picture taken from my phone, if needed.

As previously mentioned in the posts above, within the town it is OK to camp, but in the caravan area you can only pass time. I wasn't sure if this was a known thing to you guys. From the original IWD, I don't recall if the caravan map is "campable", or not. If random encounters could be added, then I don't see why you shouldn't be able to camp in that map. But maybe not, so you don't use that map to gain many levels before you leave on the expedition.

And then, just for fun, I had my party go on a killing spree.

I tried to kill Everard first, but he is one tough cookie. So I decided to kill everyone else first, in an attempt to raise some levels. Hrothgar made us 2nd level, but I can't get to 3rd level in the current game. Everard is just too tough.

So I reloaded and then I first I killed Hrothgar, and I noticed that there was no consequences. Nobody cared. No town members seem to care that I killed him, not even Everard when I go to the temple after killing Hrothgar.

When I killed the fishmonger (and his boy toy in the bedroom), then I got the "butcher of Hommlet" reputation. Still nobody else seemed to care.

Then I killed the barmaid, and her patrons tried to help her - all to their demise. Actually I don't recall them even do anything in the battle except just stand there. After the battle nobody outside cared.

Then I killed Old Jed, too.

When I killed Jhonen, then I got the "purveyor of swift justice" reputation. Only at this point Aspel cared because he attempted to KOS. If I didn't kill Jhonen, then Aspel will not attack me.

I left Everard for the last male standing. Only now Everard and that Initiate NPC attacked right away, but I don't know which reputation caused this to happen. So one of my reputations from either killing the fishmonger or Jhonen caused Everard to KOS.

Everard doesn't mess around. He flame striked us and that was pretty much it - everyone dies except my barbarian. In the second round suddenly a guy named "Cleric" teleported in to help him out, but Everard handled us without his help. Two rounds = two flame strikes = dead party

Who is this mysterious "Cleric" that teleports in? Was he in the original IWD?

I guess I can run the town and leave Everard alone in his temple. If only I can barricade his doors!!! I've killed all the other males, so I have all the females left to my discretion

maybe i'll reload from a previous game so I can attempt to kill Elisia. She may be able to get me to level 3 and/or use less party members so the XP is more concentrated.

Now Everard and that mysterious "Cleric" guy is on my blacklist for later in the game!!! I'll show him a thing, or two, once I can throw him a flame strike, too, or something bigger

 

Oh, and when I initiate battle with Everard, he immediately initiates a dialog box.

But that dialog box is empty, in which case I need to Ctrl-Alt-Del to force close ToEE.

Sometimes in that blank dialog box is a "1." for like a dialog response option, and if I click that then the dialog closes and battle ensues.

 

I'm getting a crash in Easthaven exterior. Appears to be related to sector 469762056 - I tried loading it up in WB and it found an unparseable embedded objects (using the protos.tab provided with the IWD relase).
