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

Re: 5.0.x Cumulative Mods and Fixes (CMF) Submissions Thread

This is the brief from gamearea.mes:

{9}{0, 0, 0, 0 /Cave Lair/A cave lair.}
{10}{0, 0, 0, 0 /Deklo Grove/A small wooded grove, filled with deklo trees and giant spiders.}
{11}{0, 0, 0, 0 /Temple Ruined House/An old razed building near the Temple.}
........
{14}{0, 0, 0, 0 /Verbobonc/Verbobonc city center.}
{15}{0, 0, 0, 0 /Hickory Branch/A clearing in Gnarley Wood.}

Did you attached right files?
Those fixed dialogs of townelder and Allrem point to map 12 while should to 9. Mona should point 15(to HB, i believe?) not 9.

 

That's what I'm talking about. The same goes about cave lair. I can't see any fixes for it.
I looked into mob files, the bug must probably come from jumppoint.mes file, since mobs are not edited (while sector is - i don't know what for).

I also described there another bugs brought with fixes.

 

Hi guys,

I have update to 5.06 and latest front end ,, i have started a few games now using different alignments but no matter what i cannot trigger the desperate housewives quest.
Elmos mom i guess she is that, has no dialouge at all.

I have been searching the forum for answers but there are a million posts so it is hard to find even using search option.

So my question is, is this a bug or has the quest been removed for some reason ?

There are a few fixes posted in the 5.0.x CMF Submissions thread that are not integrated into the CMF yet - the one at post # 176 fixes the issue with Lila.

 

Thanks mate,, a quick and a good answer

Will try when i get home from work

 

I'd just better know if you are going to fix (or it is really a bug) all that I/Sergio found.

 

I'm not sure the warning will work. He's seemed to be, at the least, abrupt in every post. He's already been rude to Maggit, who was just trying to be helpful. Emirkol called him on it.

Some people suffer some frustration when trying to express themselves in an unfamiliar language. Others are just turds.

 

This is just an update on the freeze/jerkstop phenomena:

The problem just occurred for the first time in my present game. I just made 6th level.
I just killed Smigmal's Assassin. I just used the miniature planar chest (which regularly breaks the game session) for the first time. I had a freeze when I left the Wench aftrer resting from killing the assassin. Broke it by leaving town. Later (not immediately on returning), I had a jerkstop on the way to the blacksmith.

Once again, since it's not a common problem, it doesn't seem urgent. :yawn:

 

Update: I haven't been watching for this, but on the last occurrence, the smith was frozen as I jerkstopped my way over to him. I could talk to him and trade with him.

This "feels" like the game is trying to initiate combat. Does any of the assassin's equipment do this? Probably not. :shrug:

 

I can not find any new shop keepers, Where do I find a new (and better) Store> I would very much like some improved weapons (and better selection).

Is there a "New" shop in Hommllet? WHere?

 

Most of the shops have an updated stock. Some sellers will offer you masterwork items, however they will require some favour in return. Just talk to them.

 

I know that this is not my module nor my job, but it's not fair being harrased only because I wanted to point that fixes announced they fixed something didn't do that or brought new bugs.
Here are corrected files for bugged/missed dialogs and jumppoints.
I'm not only sure if Mona reveals correct area (HB) since I do not know at all where she should. What I've learnt here somewhere HB is the right place.

1. Jumppoint file corrects bugs brought in "Iolo Tower fixes", that means transition 146 (exit from Ruined Tower and corresponds to Brigand dialog), 252 (corrects exit from Cavelair), 331 corrects exit from Hickory Branch Crypt that teleported to 5095/lair while it should to 5138/HB.

2. HBcavelair fix do not correct Townelder and Allrem dialogs that still reveal/teleport to area [12] while should to [9]/(9), Mona points to [9] while should to [15] (that's what i'm not sure).

3. Woodcutter file corrects small bug that you cannot access to the full list of items because of too many answer options about line 690 and provides additional lines about 850.

There are still another bugs/misses, I thought to help to hunt them since noone had noticed them, but your reactions made me unwilling at all.

Before you start throwing another lightnings you could check the files, please and compare to Iolo and HBCaveLair fixes.

I appreciate what you (all) have done about ToEE modding, but it doesn't mean that - like others - must love it, because you tell me to. The mod-patch is a fine addition, but far from perfection, disputable about content (i mean balance at first) as well as sometimes looses look&feel, logic (yes, even fantasy has some logical limits) and in a few ways looks like providing legal cheating in low level campaign. You doubt it? Well for example Robes of Midnight are stated as +2 to wisdom, while actually they give +10 (!) to hide, +5 to sneak (!), +1 to wisdom (i can't imagine however what midnight is to wisdom somehow, it works like Ring of invisibility and can be sold for 70000gp (at 7th level!); the same goes about helm of midnight that looks like troll's (?), robes of the eye (+15!), Excalibur is on the top, Hedrack heavy boots that give +5 to reflex (reflex?!) and many more. Original campaign wasn't balanced, now 6th level party is equipped with +5/+10/+15. Of course that's my own impression, noone needs to agree, but in some ways it looks like polish translation is better than original due to bug-hunting progress, reballance and reproduced dialogs that also corrects/improves lots of mistakes/misses and poor language style (some dialogs sound like written by children (that's not my opinion only, but natives i asked), boring Ronald (well, perfect XP for killing him at the 1st level), NPCs start talking in stylized english, then forget it later..., lack of options -7/8 etc). That is really curious they weren't all corrected up till now. Since you still didn't realize, i do translation module, but instead of translating i hunt bugs.

PS. I didn't come here to teach you lessons, since you will take them one day, especially of tolerance and patience (like i don't really have time to look for words they wouldn't touch you), nor to loose time on pointless arguments, so that's over from me. You don't speak to teenager and there is a meaning difference between personal insults and adressed to the work you do (or don't) that you now seem to misunderstand. Just give me a chance to pay you respect in other way than getting insulted any thing i say and looking for way to ban me again. I also asked you to remove my profile if you see only an intruder.
