Outdated modpack discussion

Re: Current mods & patches

And yet we all can't stop playing it.

 

Re: Current mods & patches

!!! If a proper install of Atari ToEE is done and, still, the ToEE game CTDs or computer crashes, something else is causing the problem. The bottom line is if everyone using the same operating system does not have the same CTD or crashing problem, the problem is not the game.

things external to the game that can cause problems
1. a bad copy of files - from a CD disk, a downloaded patch, or the MOD
2. a dirty or messed up [a bad, maybe ruined] CD disk
3. a problematic CD drive
4. a poor installation of Windows (Windows needs to be reinstalled from scratch)
5. a "standard Windows cleanup" has never been done in Windows
6. viruses or spyware infests a computer
7. a badly fragmented or physically bad hard drive
8. a poor Windows device driver (or maybe no update fixes its problem)
9. a BIOS setting is wrong (overclocking, optimized, or memory caching)

 

Re: Current mods & patches

Hi, all. I' m a newbe, looking for help. I have looded patched 1 and 2 and also Co8 4.0. Also looded the large voice patch[60mb]. The game runs but the patches don't.

Re: Current mods & patches

Hey Graybat, when you installed 4.0.0 did you install it with the Front End Loader? If so, you must lauch the game with the shortcut for Front End and select the 4.0.0 module in the Font End menu.

 

Re: Current mods & patches

You never mentioned ToEEFE. I think you may have possibly downloaded a ToEEFE version pack of Teds new voices that has the new portraits.

To avoid all of the mess if you did not install ToEEFE and are not using ToEEFE, here's a download link to a non-ToEEFE version of ShiningTeds Voices dated December 2005. It does not have the new portraits stuff in it and is thus smaller, is about 50 MB in file size. You will know it is working when during character creation you have more voices to choose from and select.

For a non-ToEEFE version install of ToEE (the default game install), just extract the files to the ToEE game folder.
C:\Program Files\Atari\Temple of Elemental Evil

(non-ToEEFE) Teds Voices Pack December 2005

Note: When the new page opens, click the download button. That opens a new web page. You will see a link there, "Download the file now". Click it and wait. It should prompt you to save it to your hard drive. Do that. Do not open it from the web site. Save it to your hard drive.

Enjoy!..

 

Mod Rookie

I currently have ToEE with all of the Atari patches loaded. Yes, even the 3rd (I found that site before I discovered you guys) needless to say I will be unloading (overwritting Atari's 3rd patch with #2)

I have the patch/mod Co8 4.0 and have not yet loaded it. My question is... will I need to do anything during game play (ie; cntrl/shift, alt ~ or any other key command strings) to enable the mods? I have read post after post of people talking about unchecking this & that but I am curious as to where the check marks will be... and if it is accesible duirng gameplay or before.

I realize I should load it and see but I was just wondering if someone would elaborate on the details of the program (screenshots) before I begin.


Thanks if advance

Re: Current mods & patches

New to the forum. Hello>

I installed the Co8 4.0.0 mod and Front End.

I started up one of my save games and I cannot get the smith in hommlet to show his masterwork items because I have already killed the only giant I know of in the meadows prior to installing the mod.

Is there another giant I can use? Or a work around?

Thanks.

 

Re: Current mods & patches

This is why we recommend not using pre-Co8 games with Co8 patches.

Open the console and type "give 12602" without the quotes.

 

Re: Current mods & patches

where do you put patch 2 when you DL it?

 

Re: Current mods & patches

cool. :headfones but i wish my sound card worked....that way i can check out the cool new voices... :no:

 

Re: Current mods & patches

Maybe been covered before, but in 7 pages I can't find it.

Every time I try to launch TempleFrontend.exe, I get an error message.

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

Edit: never mind, installing .NET redistributable 1.1 fixed the problem.

 

Re: Current mods & patches

Hi, all

I got everything working by installing Atari patch 3 (three) up front. If I don't, any amount of worse things happen, like described in this thread. I have the EU (English) version, and it seems there is a file that isn't recognized by patch 2, but it is by patch 1 & 3. Also, if I run patch 2 after patch 3, it still isn't working.

Anyway, after installing patch 3, all the mods I tried work. I'm currently only using the big 5.0 mod, with frontend, and it all works flawlessly. Although it took a few battles before tab highlighting worked.

The only minor point is, that when running windowed, the right-click menu items are drawn at the wrong location.

Just wanted to let you know. It might help the others who have problems getting it to run.

Keep up the good work!
