Livonya's Beta 1.5 Mod.zip

Selling Lareth's stuff to the traders does not start new dialog.

I didn't change anything with Riana. I only fixed it so it would work as written by Troika.

The sheep quest does work, but you simply aren't giving it time. Do other stuff, come back to it later. It works.

The Swamp Lotus quest works. You need patience. Your problem is that you expect things to happen instantly. Give it time and keep your eyes open. And FORGET what you think you know about how TOEE works. That is your problem with this quest. You can't find it because you think you already know where it will be, or in this case where it won't be. I'm not saying more. It works. You simply can't find it. End of story.

What did you fight in the random encounter in which the blacksmith went hostile?

I doubt this has anything to do with my mod, but am curious what you fought.

- Livonya

 

Liv, no doubt that it works, I'm just admit that you had even a too god idea! I'm not asking for clues about its location. You tell me to have patience, so that something will lead me to them and to keep open eyes. Ok, I will! I'm patroling from zero all areas, like if it was the first time, looking to something that looks like a flower or, I guess, like the poisonous herb that killed the sheeps, talking to everybody and looking into evrey hole that is not phisically owned by somebody else At least, would you be so kind to give me the following clue? Is it a time mission, that I risk to fail if I don't find them in time? Or not? I'm playing a neutral good party, so for my role-playing I can't accept to fail any good-oriented side quest.

 

I PROMISE you this. It is in a swamp. Promise.

And yes it uses the same icon as the poisonous herb, only it has a different name.

When you finally find it you will understand why you can't find it. It isn't that I made it too hard to find, but that I put it someplace that you don't expect it to be.

No need to those clues, but thanks!
Just tell me if I have infinited time or if I need to find it among X days!
Thanks!

 

That is how I wanted it. I didn't want to write dialog for her, so I saved myself some time and just had it transfer to Jaroo.

I didn't make the Gnolls harder. I just removed their DR.

You have infinite time, until you actaully go to the map where the item is located. Once you have been to the map that has the item then a timer starts (unless you grab the item in which case the timer is shut off).

Bard Spells Per Day

My bard is getting too many spells per day. He's still low level (bard3/fighter1), but so far it looks like he's getting (spells-per-day * 2)+1.

He's casting 7 zero level spells when he should only have 3. He's casting 5 first level spells when he should have only 2.

I'm not sure if this is related to liv's mod or not, but thought it should be passed along.

As far as my install is concerned, I installed the game from scratch, then installed atari patch 1, atari patch2, no-cd crack for atari patch 2 (I've never been able to get the game to run w/o this) latest co8 mod and livonya's 1.5 mod, in that order.

This is the only truly broken thing I've seen so far.

 

This is caused by the temple.dll patch.

It is a known problem. And can't be fixed by me...

You will have to use self control. When you are out of spells the radial spell picker will show that you have 0 spells left. Simple don't cast more when you are out.

I wish I could fix it, but I can't. You just have to use self control and don't let yourself cheat.

A couple of quick fixes

These files should all go in your scr folder...

They will fix a small glitch with the fire chest and will improve the combat AI of the witches in the game.

- Livonya

PS: I have some other fixes done, quite a few actually, but they will have to be saved for 2.0 as they involve a whole bunch of files.

 

Important, to Liv

Livonya,

I'm beginning to be a bit messed up with all your new files because I don't know in wich order I have to use them to update the older ones: some looks the same but are in different posts, so I don't know in wich oreder I should use them. Just to be sure, are you updating your 1.5 file on Co8 with those small patches that you are relasing? because, just to be sure, I think it is better to directly download it again

 

Do you have to have patch 1 installed or is just patch 2 ok for the mod to work

 

Patch 2 is supose to include patch 1...all I currently use is patch 2 with Liv 1.5, it works fine.

 

yeh well, thats what I've got installed but I thought, better safe than sorry.

 

Moathouse difficulty

When I arrived at the encounter I had a charmed sergeant and giant crayfish from the moathouse. It was the lizard man/giant lizard encounter and at the end I killed both my charmed creatures. The second time I brought them to Hommlett and then killed them.

The chests in the Moathouse are too haaaard (insert whiny tone). My L3 rogue, dex15, maxed Open Locks, with improved tools couldn't open *any* of them without magic.
