5.0.x Cumulative Mods & Fixes (CMF) Bug Reports and Discussion Thread

I think it was always that tough - are you sure you have the right skill? And I'm pretty certain some of the persuasion quests in Hommlet have always required quite high charisma characters with dialogue skill feats to do successfully (eg Melanie marriage is very tough).

I'd probably have never realised and bug reported it and got set straight by someone who does know the DnD rules

 

Hi there. I have a few problems which I spotted:

Firstly, on a Neutral Evil game Al the Drow at the Dekko woods said he would give something to give to Lareth, but it didn't appear in my inventory.

Secondly, every time I try to go to Nulb, the entire game crashes.

Which is all a bit of an embuggerence.

 

DB, you should have received a scroll from Al, written in Drowic. Use Read Magic to decipher. It should have been put in the inventory of the PC speaker. The scroll does not appear if you kill him.

 

Well I killed his spiders, but not him. I do recall that he didn't actually appear 'onscreen' as it were, he seamed to be just under the fog of war. Maybe that nixed it?

P.S. Sorry for the Nulb thing. Won't happen again.

 

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (36 pages is a bit much to read right now!)
Following the latest (Aug 17th) patch build, I've noticed a couple of issues:

1, I beat Tolub, got Bertram freed. told Bertram this. So far so good.
But if I ask Bertram to join me whilst Tolub is in the pub, all the pirates present attack me.
Is this intentional (Tolub having a hissy fit about losing his toy) or a problem?

2, I kill the assasin & take his letter to Burne.
I tell Burne that I'm going to confront the traders.
If I talk to Burne again BEFORE seeing the traders, I have the option to tell Burne that the traders fessed up. I also have the option to tell him about the ambush at my house in Nulb (Which hasn't happened yet, I assume because I have not reached L5).
This seems a bigger issue than the first.

 

I think I already have. It was due to a flag mixup with the gnoll encounter. Rodzaju, did you get the 'attacked by gnolls caravan' wilderness encounter?

As for Bertram, no idea. I think it's one of those 'shit happens' quirks of ToEE. Or maybe something to do with reputations.

 

I think A Fong's inventory is not renewing. Purchased item slots have remained vacant for about 1 week.

 

Sitra, Yes, I did get the caravan.
I've always just slaughtered the gnolls before.
Then I read here about this new map, so decided to let them go.
I had assumed that I would either rescue or avenge the caravan, but it seems that this is not the case.
More a sort of 'all actions have consequences' type of thing?

 

There's more to it, actually. Highlight for spoiler:

Spoiler

It's connected with Amii and her father.

 

Is that (the spoiler) a new thing? I thought letting the gnolls live was a dead end quest like doing Al the Drow's quest.

 

Nope, it isn't new.

More spoilers:

After saving Amii, try ordering an item from the woodcutter relative.

 

Okay, I think this may have been reported already. I killed Lareth and worked my way up to the courtyard exit of the Moathouse to Check out the new Big 3 ambush for those of us who like to sneak to Hommlet first, and there they were, standing in neat little rows and columns: 7 full sets of the ambush! Their array was more radial than rectilinear, but it was GORGEOUS! Great work, Gaear! I saved it so I could fight it later.

There was a similar situation at the swamp entrance, but the game jammed during the conversation. The back entrance was normal, though better deployed than in the past.

So consider this bug(?) reported.

As near as I can tell, only 2 rows of the initiative display were active. I was immediately attacked by several Torukos. I didn't play long enough to see what would happen as slots in the initiative display were freed up, but I will. More "Chainmail" than D&D. Looks like fun!

 

Thanks, I'll experiment with it.
