Outdated modpack discussion

so, atari patch 2, co8 patch 3.0.4, and then liviona's patch 1.5.1?

 

bumpity bump

 

I actually saw gameplay differences for installing the co8 patch.

For example, playing with atari patch 2 + liv 1.5.1, holding down tab did nothing.
When I installed co8 patch 3.0.4 aswell i COULD use it. (and i installed it by overwriting the existing directory with co8 files, and then overwriting those with livs again...). I think i saw a few other differences.

basically, livs patch does NOT include co8 patch in it. the files it DOES include had been modifed from the co8 patch, but there are files which it does not include as they were not modifed, so install co8 patch first.

 

I did a quick check on this. Here are the relevant files Liv's mod does not include:

in \data\art\interface
\CHAR_UI\CHAR_PORTRAIT_UI\Equipped_Items.tga
\inventory\inventory.mes
\inventory\Ioun_Deep_Red.tga
\inventory\Ioun_dusty_rose.tga
\inventory\Ioun_Incadescent_blue.tga
\inventory\Ioun_pale_blue.tga
\inventory\Ioun_Pink.tga
\inventory\Ioun_Pink_and_green.tga
\inventory\Ioun_Scarlet_and_blue.tga
These are just icons for the Ioun Stones (and a graphics change for the inventory slot).

Also, this file is missing:
\modules\ToEE\rules\MapList.mes
I believe the only change here is the unfogging of certain maps.

I don't think the tab issue you mentioned has anything to do with these files. All the other, game-related files are there.

 

i see that you have omitted many files... probably ones you considered unimportant (like the enable disable intros, the map of homlet, etc).
Are you sure you didnt accidently omit something else that is important?

besides, even if functionality wise you are getting everything, its NICE to have the extra graphics AND to have the various addons from the co8 mod (like said enable disable intros bat files and the map of homlet with legend)

 

Yep, I'm sure.

... which is exactly what I said in my post at the top of this page.

 

go for the eyes boo... go for the eyes

Morpheus, what do you say to my list? Livonya believes most of what of it that is possible is not worth doing.

Endarire: As Liv already remarked in an other thread, most of those things on your list are hardcoded, i.e. they cannot be modded through simple scripting changes. You'd have to use a disassembler and hack temple.dll (which contains the game engine). If moebius2778 was still around, he would probably have a go at it. Unfortunately, none of us other modders possess this kind of knowledge.

 

What happened to moebius?

He's moved on to other projects, I suppose. Which is a pity, since his temple.dll fixes have made ToEE much more playable.

 

*confusion*

So... by foraging through the forums I've tried to figure out what to install and in what order. As far as I can tell, this is what I should install:

Atari Patch 1
Atari Patch 2
Co8 3.04
Temple dll 1.0
Livonya's 1.5

Does that sound like a plan?

 

You need not patch 1 if you install patch 2. The DLL comes with Livonya's mod.

My movies disappeared! D:

Well they are there, but the sound chops and there's no picture. Any clues to what might have done this and how I could fix it?

 

You patched according to this thread and installed Livonya over the top? You haven't tried to disable movies or anything using the Co8 patch?

Otherwise I haven't a clue what has happened there. I'd recommend a reinstall in case it's corrupted files but that just gets frustrating when the first bug fix is: reinstall and report back ;(
