Our installation situation is a disaster - the saga of Co8 4.0.0

Re: Our installation situation is a disaster

Just a thought, It seems the heartbeat itself is at fault, what if you changed it so instead of spawning cuthbert directly, you spawn an invisable spawner to spawn cuthbert to start with a san_dialogue? Or just spawn cuthbert to start on a dialogue instead of a heartbeat? I would try it myself but scriping is not my area of expertise.

Cheeky

Yeah sorry didn't meant to be misleading, he certainly has boots and gloves on. Just not the armour.

Allyx, there is doubtless an exceptionally complicated way to do it - like following Liv's thing of using san_enter_combat to start the dialogue (after setting Cuthbert to KOS!) But I'd prefer a way that fixes the problem: anyone got any ideas?

 

Re: Our installation situation is a disaster

Yes, yes and yes.

'Toffee' is the nickname suggested by some cunning linguist for ToEEFE, Agetian's Front-End for ToEE that lets you easily integrate various mods such as Drifter's max HP on lvl-up and max HP for NPCs and such (now including PC patcher) and clean the map cache with the [ush of a button and other useful things, AND lets you easily play other modules. Its very useful and wil be essential once KotB comes out (hopefully the demo is only a few short months off ) or any other module for that matter - indeed it lets you easily play parallel versions of ToEE with say patched core game / Co8 modded game / modded with my stuff or Allyx's or whatever, all able to run off one install of the game. It WILL be part of Co8 4.0.0 because the brief discomfort of learning to use it (surely mitigated by the Co8 4.0.0 .exe when it comes out) is vastly outwieghed by the benefits.

ToEEWB ('World Builder') is a modding tool, and without going into technical details it answers all the 'wish we had toolsets' prayers that used to turn up weekly on the Atari forums.

O and my mod greatly enhances the whole 'Fruella in the party' experience, but NOT at her expense! Did i mention that? :yes:

 

Testing Toffee

Testing is done on the latest version of Toffee, seems to work fine with Humble NPCs integrated, and I have fixed the 'Otis overloaded on joining' issue. Will bite the bullet on Cuthbert and implement a wierd workaround for his armour, and have my end finished tomorrow

 

Re: Testing Toffee

No, the testing is not done, Ted.
That bug you mentioned (the PC count getting reset every time) needs to be re-tested in a newer update. Please get back to testing (check your e-mail). Thanks.

Well, he's still wearing his little speedo that all the guys have, isn't he? Or did Cujo get in there and 'man him up,' so to speak?

If you guys can't get him to show up clothed, just have the "clover leaf" and "fig tree" (or whatever they're called) spawn as well. That might help explain his condition. Plus, he'd be really pissed at Iuz and Hedrack for their bad timing.
