Outdated modpack discussion

Well, did some digging around the Atari forums. Appears that if my version was downloaded around Xmas 03, I should have patch 1 - but not patch 2.

Which means I guess I either get to download a new full patch 3 version or beg trygames for a specific patch 2 update that will work with this. Or buy one from bargain bin, but that ruins the fun since I try not to buy games anymore. Anyone have a slightly hacked patch 2 update file that will let me just copy over stuff on the exes and dlls?

Oh well, thanks for the help.

 

Older trygames version is definitely patch1 or even pre-patch.
Current "Digital Purchase" (1200mb) version is patch2.
You can get some idea by looking at your install - if it has temple.dll, that means it is at least patch2, because game engine is exported into this separate dll only since patch2.
Before patch2 game engine was stuffed into toee.exe, which also serves as a shareware/copy protection. That is especially essential for trygames version, because it is totally different from usual cd version, and sports their nasty trademark protection. Which involves decryption of encrypted game data files (toee1.dat and modules\toee.dat) at runtime. This is done to prevent game stealing, so you couldn't download full trial, apply official patch, put a no-cd crack ontop and have a fully functional version for free. At least that's their idea.
Anyway, if temple.dll is present in your install, I think all the mods around here could work for you without problems.
If there is no temple.dll, hope you can download newer version with your current license. Otherwise you're pretty much stuck. Though most mods should work ok still.

 

The link to Moebius dll fix is not working (at least for me), and the alternative link seems to have an old version, as it does not fix the problem with the spike chain proficiency feat.

Is there any other link to download the last version?

(I know I have posted the same question in the thread about the spike chain, but consider this a bump with additional functions )

 

The locally mirrored file IS the latest version. Check the readme: It says "Bug introduced by the MWP fix in handling Exotic Weapon Proficiencies fixed".

Are you sure you have installed it correctly?

 

:blush: I was searching in the read.me for the string 'spike'.

Anyway, I did install the temple.dll from that thread, and later I added the fixes to correct the bard spell bonus and the maxHP/level. I'm going to try to repeat the problem.

Thanks!

 

Update

Re-added official patch 1 to the list, since a couple of guys seem to think patch 2 doesn't contain all the fixes from patch 1.

Also added Liv's Mod.

We now have a new download section where you can find a copy of the post above.

 

Re: Current mods & patches

You know, winrar extracts EXE files!
Try extracting patch 2 with winrar and then overwrite whatever files are needed. You will probably need a no cd crack since what you download online is not using securom, but some other protection scheme

 

Re: Current mods & patches

What is the difference between Liv's version 1.5.1 and 1.5.2?

 

Re: Current mods & patches

1.5.2 is just an installer version of Liv's mod 1.5.1, otherwise it's identical. It was made available for download "by accident" on the temporary board we had a while ago. I'm still working on it, tweaking the installer options etc. When I DO release it officially, I'll probably name it 1.5.1 Setup Version or something, to avoid confusion (but maybe Liv will have released her 2.0 mod by then, so I'll just do an installer version of that one).

 

Re: Current mods & patches

Hey, wait a minute: I used it and now my game is using those files: what's wrong with the 1.5.2?

 

Re: Current mods & patches

Nothings wrong with the 1.5.2 its just made easyer to install otherwise it IS 1.5.1 :blegh:

 

Livonya's Beta 1.5.1 Mod Setup Version

Okay, here is the quick-and-easy Setup Version of Liv's 1.5.1 mod:

http://files.co8.org/mods/Livonya's Beta 1.5.1 Mod Setup.exe

I changed the accompanying installation instructions (obviously), added an alternative version of levelup.tab (used for NPC levelling) as well as the file maplist.mes (unfogging of towns) and a few art files ((ioun stone icons) that were in Co8 3.0.4, but not in Liv's 1.5.1. Apart from that, this is 100% identical with Liv's original 1.5.1 release.

You do not need to worry about those weirdly named files in the map folder anymore, the Setup Wizard automatically deletes them.

I also made the "No Fog of War" feature optional (just like it was in earlier Co8 patches), since some people like to play with fog of war. Same thing for NPCs levelling up like PCs: You can now turn this on/off.

Have fun!
