    Just a kwik update on what is going on: I've had a couple more interested parties helping out, and there will be a small update released Monday 10th July, after that I will be offline for a week while the fiancee visits.

    Since there's been such an outcry over the 8-pointed chaos flag (makes sense), and since it appears several times outside the Thorp as well, I'll replace it.

    Here are your choices:

    two intertwined snakes
    a horned skull
    a pseudo-Egyptian eye and sword
    something else you'd like to suggest

    I'm also going to brighten things up a bit. The PC's always look so bright against the backgrounds after they're imported.

    ok ted problem with that is the first pack doesnt have a folder called modules it has one named data KoTB and one named KoTB. the second folder has the art, rules, maps and other folders in it. the second pack has data KoTB and modules in it.

    sure ted im just trying to get it working enough so i can get in and help lol :). right now i have a data KoTB folder in the root folder along with modules and in the modules folder i have a KoTB folder DAT file. so is there something else i need to get this working.

    i started it up again and went the other way to start adventuring and that dropped me in a completely black area. when pulling up the map i could see a room nearby that looked alot like the tap room of the inn in Homlett but with a guy titled despot in it. i couldnt get into it though just walk around in the black area.

    Ok, I would delete the KotB .dat file and re-activate the module, cause you are using the KotB data folder but the ToEE modules stuff. I shoulda thought of that before ;)

    ok its working now i was able to go right to the keep. to get it to work i had to delelte the data.KoTB folder. it kept telling me i had a conflict between it and the data folder. so i deleted the KoTB one and now everything seems to be working fine.


    ok making a full party to start exploring and it seems that the portraits pack doesnt work with your mod. are you planing on adding it? i also found an error in the spell list.

    ERROR!missing line 740 in mes/spel.mes

    Hey glad u got it working! Btw, how did the spell-list error come up? In game or what? There will be a few little things like that here and there, because I stopped updating the KotB stuff to reflect the rest of the Co8 efforts a while back (that is a major undertaking in itself) but I DO want all the latest spells included when the time comes to release (many moons from now).

    Ummm, no the portrait pack won't be an official part of it, so far as 'no proprietary material' goes, the portrait pack is a walking violation of that. It will be available sepereately, and people can of course use it then (and doubtless will). But thats for worrying about much later.

    Now... UPDATE: A new update was planned for today, but I think i will hold off. There just isn't that much more to put in: one important thing though, there is now, fully (almost ;) ) implemented, CONSEQUENCES if you walk around theiving stuff found lying around. Quite fun to play, I must say, and includes a nice scripting touch if I do say so myself.
