Temple of Elemental Evil on Steam

Does anyone remember a bug that would randomly drop the various merchants inventories way, way back in the day?
Well, it has reared its head and the steam crowd are losing their collective shit.
The bug is only affecting the vanilla content from what I see while playing.
The Co8 masterwork content appears even after the bug takes place.
I know it's not funny, but I'm laughing anyway.
This crowd has no clue how broken the game was before y'all spent so much time and effort.

 

I hope my dialog fixes got into the new release! Even if they didn't, I'm very pleased to see the work done by all here acknowledged officially!

 

They fixed that on Sunday.
It's just 1 week after release, but SNEG has pushed like 3 patches already, and apparently the new one is on the way.

 

Nice they are patching so quickly. A lot better than some games I've played

 

I’m proud owner of the new release of ToEE! Thanks to all that kept it alive!

I was trying to run it with TemplePlus for the settings, and races/feats, but noticed after installing that WASD camera navigation and containers no longer highlighted when tab is button pressed. Are those improvements not compatible with Temple+?
I installed Co8 New Content pack and initialize it. But not sure if it installed when launched from TemplePlus.exe
Is there an easy way to tell by convo with NPC if the CO8 new content pack loaded?

 

The WASD and tab thing sound like engine tweaks. I haven't looked yet, but from what I heard the Steam release works sort of similar to Temple+, which wraps the original game to provide new functionality. But, I assume that if you can use it with Temple+, it will be Temple+ wrapping the original game engine, which means the engine tweaks from the Steam release won't be there unless Temple+ also did them.

In the original game, WASD were rebindable hotkeys for actions, and tab only highlights items on the ground. Temple+ hasn't changed that. The new behavior could be added (maybe as options), but it hasn't been.

 

Is there a guide to installing them? I’ve successfully installed TemplePlus and have installed the Co8 new content pack and activated it, with the Steam release, but can’t launch from stream without errbut not sure yet if the content has actually loaded. Is there an easy way per NPC interaction to tell if the new content loaded?
If the new release is completely compatible I may have done something wrong, because WASD camera navigation and containers highlighting no longer works.

Tab now highlights wells, barrels, and chests as well as bodies and items on the ground.

 

I downloaded the Co8 new content mod pack.exe launched it and pointed it to my root folder, when it completed installing the files it automatically launched the activate portion of the TFE-X.exe but later I launched the TFE-X.exe myself

I installed the Co8 NC mod pack, but it was a new installation so TFE-X performed the necessary operations to convert my installation for use with the Circle of Eight Modpack. But when the TFE-X finished, it relaunched the TFE-X Ui but I didn’t , select the Circle of Eight Modpack from the TFE-X menu and click 'activate.' I mistakenly left it on the default ToEE and hit activate.
I have remedied that and now TemplePlusConfig shows the Co8 mod is installed, and I can launch from TemplePlus with Co8 NC content.
The install still is not working with WASD and highlighting containers, but hopefully when it’s fixed I won’t have to start over to get the functionality back.

 

Congratulations, gentlemen! I've been lurking here for many years, certainly before the 2014 date on the account. It warms my heart to see all of the hard work you have put into ToEE being recognized officially. Well done!

 

Ok a couple more bugs I thought I was posting in this thread but posted in the main ToEE thread lol, Merry Christmas!
So the Magic Miniature chest isn’t shown in radial menu to summon, and magic missile the spell and wand casts fine but missiles do no damage
