    Merry Christmas to one and all:
    I've run into a small snag while playing with the latest update 5.0.4. Waiting patiently for the KOTB update from Shiningted, I downloaded the latest version and started again. Anyway, I'm unable to reach the golden skull because I can't find the secret door. After killing the wizard and his imp, I tried to look, search and what not. I even went as far as adding an elven sorcerer to the party. All to no avail. The same problem arose when I rounded the corner to try and find the secret door to the other section of level 3. I can't reach that one from either side. They're simply not there.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    You have the secret door bug... This means that
    you will either have to console the skull or start
    the game all over. Sorry, this bug hasn't been
    resolved by the modders or by the official patches
    and virtually no one really knows what is wrong
    with those doors. Fortunately KotB will have a
    workaround for this... who knows maybe someone
    will make one for ToEE?

    Thanks Maggit:
    Not a problem. I had started 2 separate parties: One good & one evil. I'll delete this one (the good ones of course) and run the other. I'm only biding my time anyway.
    Maybe by the time you guys start up another major mod I'll have figured out how you do it. That way, I can be of some help.
    Enjoy the holidays.

    Thanks again.

    actually there is a correlation between playing two seperate games at once and the secret door bug.

    You might be able to hex edit the save file to get the party to the other side of the secret door. I don't know whether the save file is protected by nastiness called ("modules"?).

    Easier to console but if you don't know coordinates it can get a bit fiddly...

    Thanks for the input. I did end up consoling the orb in. The party was doing quite well and I wasn't ready to kill them off yet. As far as hex editing... I haven't figured that out yet. I'm just now playing with graphics to try and figure that part out. This was actually my first attempt with the console. Maybe in the next decade or so, I'll have it down. All you guys are gods in my book:notworthy
