    Running through for the first time using 5.0.5 and have come up against some problems. Can't get to Verbobonc. Both the ladies and merchants go through the correct dialog, but they simply join my party and never take me to Verbobonc. I even had Jenna mark its location on my map, but nothing ever appeared. No problem here when I only had 5.0.0

    Also, I crash to desk top every time I go below the tower ruins. Decending the ladder is fine, but when I try to use the door way between this area and the area with Falrinth and the skull, I crash.

    Can any one help? Thanks.

    There should be an entry in the list of location on the right of the worldmap interface with the Verbobonc option, as we can't add new worldmap icons. If this is not the case, I'll look at the dialogue files anyway.

    Thanks Allyx,

    I took another look, but I don't have an entry for Verbobonc. She tells me that she is marking my map, but it never registers. The dialog then goes to me escorting her home, but she just joins the group and that's it.

    I've looked into the prisoners dialogues, all four of them should be working correctly, the random CTD's and Zaxis Issues certainly has nothing to do with 5.0.5 itself either, I would suggest a clean install and a new game for both of you.

    Follow Zebedee's instructions for a tried and tested installation guide.

    Thanks again Allyx,

    I reinstalled and it seems to be running smoothly. I repost if I have the same problems.

    Did you re-use an old save dups1k? I hate to sound hard headed, but most crashes in ToEE are due to to...

    1. FUBAR (F***ed Up Beyond All Recognition) instalation.
    2. Not starting a new game after installing a new patch or CMF

    Well, I really can't think of anywhere else to put this, so I'll ask in here. What's a root directory? I get all the way to the step where you install the Co8 CMF file (5.0.5 I think) but it says to extract it into the root directory. I extract to the temple of elemental evil folder (program files/atari/temple of elemental evil) but the module doesn't come up in the front loader. I followed everything else by the letter.

    Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    It would probably be better to call it the parent folder for the ToEE game. In Unix, the root folder is the top-level folder of an entire drive and, in the ToEE game, the parent folder of the game is where the files need to be extracted (not extracted to the root folder as in not the root of the drive).

    In short, it's the folder you selected to be the installation path of the game when you installed the game. (Most people understand it to be or take it to mean the parent folder where the game was installed is where the files need to be extracted and not the root of the drive.)

    Start the Front End. Select the Co8-5.0.0 option. Start the game using the Launch.. button in the ToEE Front End and let ToEEFE make the big file. Immediately QUIT the game using the game menu. Then, in Windows, extract the files from the RAR file to the game parent folder.

    The Module name is Co8-5.0.0 th CMF doesn't change this, but it should (if installed correctly) update the module description on the right hand side of the ToEEFE window.

    Not working. I installed Temple of Elemental Evil in the Atari folder. When I extract to the program files/atari folder, the front end won't work. When I dump it in the temple of elemental evil folder in the atari folder, the front end loads, but the co8 module won't update to the 5.0.5 version in the list. I'm not understanding why this isn't working.

    It's not updating the description on the right. It's still coming up Circle of 8 Mod 5.0.0 Final with a copyright of July 06.
