Livonya's Beta 1.0 Mod.zip

I do like it hugely in one respect - it does prevent me 'John Wayning' encounters; it stops me using my cleric as a paladin hehe

The logic behind what you have done seems to add up to me. Your improved AI is awesome. That skeleton priest gave me a very nasty shock - darned smart casting there. In all honesty, if this is the (very minor) price of your AI, then I gladly pay it because, as you say, it's justifiable, it's not too overpowering and it also adds that little extra spice.

I'm a little confused by the Smith's chest quest - I used 'knock' and the Smith then didn't have anything to say about the whole matter. I'm guessing that I may have messed the quest up by doing that? (Is it meant to also show up in your logbook? Didn't spot it but wasn't certain whether it is meant to or not.)

The more I play this mod, the more I just sit back and admire what you have done to build upon the Co8 patch.

P.S And telling my rogue that he should find an expert to help him unlock a certain item is so, so true. I'm sure every now and again the poor chap looks at me and thinks about giving me a piece of his mind....

 

Great catch.

In all honesty I forgot that you could cast Knock on the chest to open it, though I am not sure if that should matter.

Nothing should happen when you unlock the chest.

However, when you OPEN the chest for the first time the Smith should start conversation.

Nothing happened when you opened the chest?

Alright, just got home from work and wanted to start on this mod reading about it all day, but am new to the modding environment so I have a couple questions about the installation. Thanks for your patience and help.

On your hint guide for installing you mention to put the maps folder in that one area, I know which area you're talking about, but you said it should overwrite the other maps folder, but I don't see any map folder in that file. Still put it in there?

Also, what are you talking about for the strange looking files?

 

Okay. Encounter with Skeleton priest and guards after opening rainbow rock: Cool

Beefed-up assassin that puts the hurt on your party: Cool

New reputation for killing Remos and Gremag: Cool

CR of Assassin and Skeleton priest much lower than actual challenge, resulting in much less XP: Not Cool. (It looks like you made the assassin into a 10th level rogue with Crippling Strike. He should be CR 10 if that is the case. Likewise, the Skeleton Priest is a 8HD creature and at least a third level caster, but is listed as CR 2.)

Weirdness: Remos and Gremag said something about leaving and to watch my back, but they stuck around and slugged it out to the death. (Well, Remos was on the ground laughing uncontrollably, so he couldn't actually leave.) Did they not leave because Remos couldn't? If so, great job on the scripting. If not and they were supposed to, then something went wrong. In either case, many props for adding that bit of in-character interaction and for not just having them fade out without the player being able to do anything about it.

 

No. I'll run it again later just to make sure, but I checked logs and nothing was said. I opened it a few times because I wanted to check I wasn't missing something (not wanting to turn this into a spoiler).

As for knock, I was a little slow in remembering about the spell but my rogue is a lot happier

 

Error

When viewing the level 3 Wizard spell "Hezrou Stench" it says this:

Error!Missing line 5735 in mes\spell.mes

Dunno if that is known or not, but I thought I should report it all the same.

 

Can anyone here answer my question about the installation and map folder above? Thanks for your time.

 

EDIT -- moved this post to spoliers section

 

You should not be able to view this spell. This is an error. This spell is not available to PCs.

What was the process you used to view this?

I will have to fix this. Definite bug.

You are probably looking at the files while they are in the zip utility like Winzip. Extract them to a folder that you create on the desktop. Go into that folder after the extraction and you will see the folders that are being talked about.

 

Sorry, I missed this at first... a lot of posts to reply to.

If you have never played TOEE and are doing a fresh instal from scratch then this folder won't exist... I guess.

In that case you can just make a folder called maps and you won't have to deleate the crazy name files because they don't exist yet.

This folder will be created when you play the game and that is where the game will put the crazy files...

I hope that helps.

I did extract all the files and put everything in their respective spot except the map folder, it says to put the folder into Temple of Elemental Evil/modules/ToEE/maps, but there isn't a maps folder there to overwrite, do I put the maps folder there?




All I have Temple of Elemental Evil/modules/ToEE/ folder is a rules folder. Does that seem right?


OKay, understand that then; now about the crazy files, will I have to go in each time before I play and delete the crazy files there then?

 

Crash to Desktop

I am not sure if anybody can help me or maybe someone has a similar problem. After installing Livonya's Beta 1.0 Mod.zip, I started a saved game. The game starts in the tavern and as soon as I walk out the front door the game crashes to desktop. Any ideas? Should I just uninstall and reinstall the game and start from scratch.

 

I was leveling up my Wizard from level 3 to 4.. Maybe 4 to 5. It was on the list of spells to learn during level up.
