The Hickory Branch MOD has arrived

A diabolical megalomaniac has surfaced in a wooded wilds, a Half-Orc who has gathered unto himself a wicked horde of evil monsters. They must all be vanquished unto death.

Notes: If your party is too low in level, your party will be destroyed. I suggest with emphasis you have a level 5 or higher average party level. You may find you have to gain another level and come back later to complete it, i.e., the difficulty increases over the course of completing the mod.

my new mod brings:
a new large outdoor map the size of Nulb with many surprises
a new small map to be found with a few surprises
several new monsters: half-orcs, orcs, and an evil monsterous humanoid
various additional humanoid and other monsters
several battles and many fights
new gear: non-magical and magical

The rest you will have to play to see and to learn, discover and try different tactics.

Go to Nulb and talk with Mona, ask Mona to have her tell your fortune. Select the option to "I look for challenging adventure!".

Move around the entire Hickory Branch map to unfog the map. There are bonus monster encounter fights strewn about Hickory Branch.

Have fun and enjoy.

Please do NOT post spoilers.

1. Make sure you have the Co8 5.0.0 MOD installed. (Co8 5.0.0 MOD Final)
2. Download and install (Co8 5.0.1 Mods and Fixes Thread).

thanks a lot for this MOD i'm gonnatry it immediately

 

uhh jeez, here i go again. where do i download it to? I already have mod v5. i just dont know where to put this one.

 

@whatsername74: Copy the files you extract from step 2 into the root directory of your ToEE game folder (with 5.0.0 as your active module if you are using ToEEFE).

 

OK, I went to extract these files, but when i right clicked there was not "extact" option. i really am sorry to bother you, but


help...

 

To extract the files from the downloaded RAR file for my mod, download and install ZipGenius.

After you install the free program, ZipGenius, you will be able to right-click the downloaded file in windows explorer and select "Extract to..." where in a pop-up window that opens you can expand "My Computer" and, then, expand "Local Disk ( C: )"; continue expanding folders to the root directory of your installed ToEE game folder; and, finally, click "OK" to extract the files. Select "Yes to all" each time when prompted to copy files to existing folders.

I updated the link in post # 1, above, in this thread.

 

thankings.
<3

 

*sigh*

alright, did that. however, the option to copy files to existing folders never came up. The path looked like this:

C:\TOEE2\Atari\Temple of Elemental Evil

and the folder "Co8_mods_5.0.1_plus_HB" was there. but it didnt show up in front-end or anything.

 

Okay, it may have made new subfolder named "Co8_mods_5.0.1_plus_HB" underneath the folder where you pointed it to extract the files.

In this case, expand or open the new subfolder it made and do a "select all" of all the files and folders in the "Co8_mods_5.0.1_plus_HB" folder, then, followed by a cut and paste to the ToEE game folder. When prompted, click "Yes to all" when pasting the folders and files.

 

:thumbsup: Very nice.
I hope I'll soon find the time to have a go at it. Clobbering hordes of evil monsters has to fit in somewhere. Justice demands it.

 

Thanks Krunch, now I have something else to do while I'm supposed to be working:evil_laug

 

Ok, I did that and it behaved like you said it would, so I'm sure it will work. I just have to get to Nulb with my brand stinkin new party!

Thanks
<3

 

Reminder: My new Hickory Branch MOD now comes by default with the Co8 5.0.1 updates you can download and add over top of your installation of the Co8 5.0.0 MOD. There is a new update for my new mod in the 5.0.1 Mods and Fixes Thread that can be located in the General Modifications forum. Also, hopefully soon, I will release another new update for my new mod, more of the good stuff.

 

Everytime I try to get to the Gnarley Woods (i.e, read the parchment) I get a CTD with the "We're sorry, ToEE.exe hs encountered a problem blah blah blah."

any guesses why?
