I'm currently running ToEE without the official patch from Atari, but with the FanFix 1.1.0.0 from Co8. My question is this: what do I need to do to make this transition easy, and not screw up my current saves? I've read lots of conflicting info so far. Should I unpatch the 1.1 from Co8, then run the Atari patch, and then run the Co8 patch 2.0? That's my guess, but I'm not sure. One thing I'm worried about is that one of my characters uses a katana, and that's only available with the fanfix 1.1--so if I undo that patch, install the Atari one, and then reinstall 2.0, will that work? Sooooo confused...advice much appreciated!
newbie needs help too I agree. As a green-horned cherry newbie just getting this game for x-mas, the downloads/patches options seem daunting. It could just be that I'm entirely too tired to be trying this so late, but, wtf. I would like to play asap, without all the horrible crashes I hear about. Could anyone point out to me, simply, the downloads/patches I need? I would be forever in your debt :ashamed: Thanks guys. Also, just for my edification, is there any difference in relases between the different packaging? I have two boxes in front of me, one bigger than the other. One cost $49 the other $17. Both new as far as I can tell... Only slight differences in the product #'s. Specs/everything else = the same. Any ideas, or did sams' club just get a really good buy? Thanks guys, Indy
Basically you only need the official patch by Troika. But if you would like to sample Co8 mods you are more than welcome to download them if you like to see new items and have some of the issues in the game fixed (including NPC looting and various spells). If so I would recommend downloading v2.0 Co8 patch first and then apply Shin's looting fix. Happy gaming.
Cool, thanks. I've been cruising around the forum here and appreciate the help. Where'bouts might I locate the looting patch? or is it a manual entry thing? Thanks, Indy
In case you haven't found it yet, the looting fix is here: http://www.co8.org/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=4300 You'll have to replace the old protos.tab in the Temple of Elemental Evil/data/rules with the new protos.tab which can be downloaded above.
