New Temple+ Available

So it has been a while since I touched Temple of Elemental Evil and the amazing Temple+ mod, with the option to use the monstrous races, but I was hoping for the option to remove the level adjustment as the +2 for drow is just far too brutal, especially at the lower levels.

I saw this threat and believe this could be fixed with alterations on races?

Mind you, I'm not really good at programming, and always worry that I might do something wrong. I did get Temple+ working, but that was like ages ago, so I'm not sure if I also need a newer version.

Could anyone give me a quick rundown on how to get to the "alterations on races" (if that is the correct way to do this) , and the "override" folder? I know this was discussed earlier, but I'm having a hard time understanding on how to get there and what "alterations on races" exactly does.

 

Hi guys,
1. When I transfer the saved game files between my two computers, the Extraplanar Chest will turn empty, all the stuff inside vanishes. All the rules files are synchronized, so the number of the protos are the same etc. Are the contents of the chest stored somewhere outside of the saved game files?
2. Why one of my computers keeps autosaving when autosave_between_maps=0 in toee.cfg?
3. I've noticed a difficulty setting in toee.cfg, what does it change exactly?
4. Is there a way to graphically modding the monstrous races skins? For instance, how can I change the skin of the bugbear when he wears another armor? I'm already good at modding basic PC races skins but monstrous races have no similar meshes folders.

 

An improvement suggestion: the Scarlet Brotherhood beholder ambush currently lacks any challenge because only the right-hand equipped weapons are separated. All weapons from the inventory should be replaced to the boxes.

 

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing mod. It makes a whole new experience for me with this game. The ability "Alert AI across rooms" for example makes a lot of fight much more challenging (Wow did my group get destroyed in Welkwood Bog ambush by that Goblin hordes). The possibility to raise the difficutlty by enhancing NPC lvs is fantastic (at the moment I'm in Tmpl lvl 3 playing with +4 to monster lvls). I have the impression that in generall NPC's act much smarter. And in DM mode I can even create my own ecounters or spice up existing ones. (If only I could find out to start some of them beinh hostile so they join battle against me right away)
The only very small problem I have is sometimes that 5 foot step seems to be more restricted so that I cannot chosse a certain direction although there is nothing in that way.
But anyway fantastic work and thanks so much.

 

Spawning custom units as hostile don’t give exp when defeated? Is that intended? Thanks.

 

I am not 100% but I think it is on purpose. Is an option to turn on xp something you would want?

 

No, I just tested with three Ettins. They start hostile right away and I get normal XP.

 

Depend on the spawned Encounter level you generated vs the party level

 

Is it actually possible to spawn traps, on a chest or by entering a bridge for example? What I found in "Game/data/mes/description" is:
// 15000 - 15999: Traps
{15000}{bp_trap_magical}
{15001}{bp_trap_mechanical}
{15002}{bp_trap_arrow}
{15003}{bp_trap_bullet}
{15004}{bp_trap_fire}
{15005}{bp_trap_electrical}
{15006}{bp_trap_poison}
{15007}{bp_trap_source}
I could not access any of that in the game with the DM mode.

 

More traps would definetly help to create a more authentic and challenging role playing experience.
Right now there is hardly a reason to level a thief beyond 4 or 5 for reason of finding and disarming traps.

 

Gygax's reputation as a Killer DM was seemingly not found in the traps of ToEE.
