Co8 4.0.0 bug-list

My guess would be you're right about it being a side-effect of the Humble NPCs patch. I know previous to that, the lizard showed up in the dead Enchantress' inventory, but it was not lootable.

 

Ted, from your posts regarding Ah Fong, I assume he's supposed to refresh his inventory. However, he doesn't seem to do so in my game. Granted, I don't have Desperate Housewives installed. Perhaps your addition of him in the most recent playful NPCs patch doesn't allow for inventory refresh?

Also, after rescuing Paida, the wheel & wainwright has a dialogue option to give you a spiked wooden shield, yet he doesn't appear to give anything. At a cursory glance, the dialogue appears correct. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I could look into this?

Finally, when I did my armor fixes to prevent masterwork light armors with zero skill check penalty from giving an unintentional bonus, I overlooked the leather armor +1. When the next version comes out, could someone adjust this in the protos? I think that it's too minor a fix to post an entire protos now.

 

The spiked shield was added by Troika for patch 2 (originally it was just a normal shield :no: ). Never seen a spiked shield anywhere so wondering whether it might have got lost somewhere in Co8 patches?

 

Yes, Ted, I do have a line 319 for Ah Fong in my InvenSource.mes, and I'm not sure why he isn't refreshing inventory. On the other hand, I've done a fair amount of silly things in my current game for testing purposes. I may have glitched something and corrupted my save. Sometime tomorrow, I could probably start a new game and get to Nulb to double check.

As far as the leather armor +1, the game adds the masterwork bonus to skill checks that I had tried to eliminate with my previous patch. It should have skill circumstance bonus -1 to skill_hide, skill_move_silently, skill_pick_pocket, and skill_use_magic_device. Now that I think about it, Wonnilon's leather armor +1 probably needs the same fix. I should test that.

One other thing that I wanted to mention was that Prince Thrommel's Large Steel Shield has no skill check penalty. However, it is not a masterwork item, and is nonmagical. At the moment, it's somewhere in between a large steel shield and a large mithral shield. Since anomolies like this make me uncomfortable, do you think we could get a consensus on whether it should be made a proper large steel shield (and probably masterwork), a large mithral shield, or left alone? Maybe we could do something completely different. How does a +1 large steel shield of freedom of movement (like the ring) with a zero skill check penalty sound?

 

I think he ought to be mostly naked. He got snatched from his tent after being awakened at an odd hour by robed figures who then took him prisoner...how he came to be mail-clad with ALL of his cool stuff doesn't make sense to me. Is this because of their 'orders'? Or is it an oversight by the writers?

Since he's got it, it ought to be masterwork stuff at the most. He's got a nifty dagger (+2/+3 vs. Large creatures), Fragarach, a ring, amulet, & belt....these latter 3 being non magical items of jewelry. I'm sure that all of his best gear is back in Chendl locked up in daddy's vault.

 

maybe Zuggy likes a bit of fresh prince for her breakfast so they put him "on ice" to keep him fresh.

 

I have a little problem with the Co8 mod, when my char dies the game crashes, i already instaled the mod with and without the front-end and the game crashes on both, without the Co8 mod everything goes well.
Please Help !!

Thanks.

 

3 days and no answer... well no problem anyway, i just found out that the problem was a bug with a custom portrait...

 

Magic Celtic Tattoos do not reduce diplomacy

The Magic Celtic Tattoos do not reduce the wearer's (sic) diplomacy skill.
From examining the protos.tab, it looks like the relevent skill_circumstance_modifier references 'diplomacy', rather than 'skill_diplomacy'.

The bonus to the 'use magic device' skill for either set of tattoos doesnt seem to work either, but I can't see why.

It's too bad no one could get you the help you asked for; but it's good that you either figured it out by trial & error or by reading enough of what's already been posted on the topic of ctd's. The thing is, a standard of helping has been set that folks here can't always live up to. Not that they have to, as this is what people do for fun. Just imagine if you'd tried this on the Atari site, and be glad that this place even is.
