Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

I routinely have to try running the game twice before it actually launches and runs fine on the third attempt... I don't know what's causing the crashes, or how to find out.

 

I think it's related to swapping out the .mob and/or .sec files, hopefully as the module becomes more complete and those files no longer require editing the issue should just go away.

 

Huh, that's a new one on me, I've not had that issue.

Could you do a little testing for me? I'd like you to reactivate the module (without the patch 2 addon), delete modules/toee/maps folder, then activate the addon patch2, move the map folders from modules to modules/ToEE/maps and then try again?

I just want to make double sure your installation is as I expect it should be.

 

Sweet, just to be on the safe side, use a new game, not reloading an old one as this is known to cause issues with new static objects.

 

Kuldahar Pass should allow camping IMO, but I still wouldn't recommend it, I camped once in the Orc cave by the top left chest and was ambushed and murdered by 3 huge vipers... Eeep

 

Ok, I've done some more alterations this morning.

1. The Elite Goblin in Easthaven now spawns his random item and sets global_flags 15 to 1 - so he doesn't spawn another random item every time you enter the Easthaven exterior map.
2. I juggled a couple of Old Jed's player responses around to prevent a long text entry overlaying the option below it.
3. Added the Kuldahar Pass talking Goblin's dialogue and unset his KOS flag. (untested)

4. Added Jermzy's dialogue. (untested)

5. Fixed the file path for the next patch addon pack (not uploaded just yet).

There are a few more bits I want to put in before uploading the next version:

1. exchanging the scroll of Prismatic Spray to Color Spray Done
2. add a wolf pelt to the chest in House 5 Done
3. check Hrothgar's feats, he seems to be using his sword two handed (bastard sword) even though he has a shield Done
4. Add invensource.mes entries for all chests, shelves, Everard and Pomab's stores', check Pomab and Old Jed's personal inventories
5. add an Icon for Old Jed's wine bottle
6. Alter Jhonen's sword to an unwieldable item with new icon
7. Fix the strategies for the Orc Shaman and Beetles', Done
8. replace an Orc or two in the cave with another proto to mix up the strategies a bit.
9. Add the Hermit that greets you as you get to Kuldahar Pass
10. add the video that plays when entering Kuldahar for the first time (and end_demo command?)
11. add camping videos when resting.

TEST IT!

 

I've had a few crashes at that point, but it definitely plays most of the time.

I didn't do the Hermit's dialogue, did I? Missed that somehow.

I think Ghereg's Tower should be a safe resting area if you finish his quest and he leaves (ie if you have a Druid or Ranger in the party). Combat 3.5 style is simply going to be harder, no getting around it.

 

I believe so, though I can't recall the characters' name, I'll look it up in Near Infinity later if need be.

It could even be a safe resting area if you resort to killing Gherag, it's too small an area for camping encounters anyway.
