    Melee fight problem:
    Party members executing melee attack may trigger an error, where no graphics of their attack is shown + next PC member loses 50% of their action points (whole green part)

    In 7.6 version this did not occur. The chance of this error is 50% for all melle attacks. (most often for glaive)

    any clues?

    All melee attacks in the game? You should probably reinstall/reactivate everything. The modpack does not control any core mechanics like this, so something is funky in your base game.

    I can confirm that bug. In 7.6.0 Amil was standing next to Jaroo as soon as I received the Cure for Amil quest from the Woodcutter. In 7.7.0 I have the quest but Amil is not in the Grove.

    That was my question. Thankyou.

    7.7 NC: more testing is needed but I think killing Senshock in his room after the Hedrack fight disables lvl 4 mobs from spawning during rest. I'm also trying to determine what triggers the door icon from appearing in the far north western circular room, the room you appear in from Zuggotmoy's level.

    Then the reason is that I bought GOG version recently. Before I played from my old CD (that needed patch 1,2) so I thought "let's get an virtual version" ... I will reinstall from CD and apply patches... and screw GOG version. But if the problem will remain ... I wonder if there were modification done for reach weapons... (which can't attack adjected... and maybe someone though... well, let's follow DnD 3.5 rules and try this new script)

    It's not GoG - I mod off of a GoG installation of ToEE these days.

    There's nothing we can do at this time about reach weapons, and it's doubtful even at the best of times with a .dll modder on board.

    version 7.7:
    The short description of light crossbows gives their critical range correct as 19-20/ X2 but their long description says 19-20 / X 3

    ver. 7.7:
    My party found the secret door at the eastern wall of the Moathouse. I opened the roll dialog to see the rolls and the difficulty for locating the secret door was DC 0.
    No wonder that my elven Ranger who rolled 18 located the door immediately.

    Is that as intended or did something mess up the DC and it should be something like 20?

    Re: Battles With Issues

    What is Barkinar and Deggum's key for? If for a chest, where is it?

    I've also noticed that charming Senshock in his room (having killed everyone else) still allows temple level 4 mobs to spawn whereas killing Senshock stops that. This is all done after the Hedrack fight.

    I'm thinking it was the chest in Senshocks room/workplace/elemental hangout since, I've been everywhere in the temple and the keys log never properly displays when a key has been used. If they weren't sharing a chest with Senshock, which room is thiers?

    The room next to Senshock's. They hang out there by night but join Senshock by day.

    An odd occurrence doing the Moathouse Respawn wit a CE party in v.7.7: went inside after dealing with the undead in the courtyard (and gaining new recruits for my cleric). Went to the right expecting the werewolf, jalklewere and dire wolf- and found nothing. Headed for the basilisk- and found nothing. Suddenly, the combat bar & music start up- seems that one of my commanded undead that had been lagging behind triggered the appearance of the weres. I rush over, defeat them- and the combat starts up again. Seems that another of my commanded undead had triggered the basilisk to appear. Aside from delaying the appearance of the encounters nothing went wrong- just wanted to put this out there just in case.

    BTW- did the routine get changed for LG parties in the whorehouse? My rogue- who has the best social skills- couldn't bring up the dialogue from Ophileia about helping out. And just one more thing (said in my best Lt. Columbo voice)- I have 8 savegames yet I can only see 7 of them when I go to save a game. When I load a game, all 8 show up. So far it hasn't caused a problem but....
