Temple of Elemental Evil on Steam

I have since found two scrolls of the magic chest but haven’t used them yet, the one that didn’t work was found on a zombie in the moat house. My wizard evoker spell focused is now level 4 and has other damage spells to use, but was pretty limited for damage at 3rd in the moat house, he would just buff and cc then try not to die with the MM wand I pick pocketed off Burne not working lol.

 

Sounds like fixes and updates will be needed after the New Year. (not sure if they are working during the holidays.)

 

So I have a question, which I don't really want to make a new thread and clutter for, but I don't think there's really any other place to ask:

I'm a blind gamer who played ToEE on release (When I had better vision) and loved it, and I want to get the whole experience, so I'm using SNEG's release + Co8 with content + TemplePlus. But a few days ago SNEG added a *really fantastic* feature where you can tab highlight to highlight most interactable map objects. This was/is absolutely huge for me, just an insanely transformative change for me because my vision has deteriorated enough to be legal blindness.

But it doesn't work with co8/temple+'s full patches . Is there any tentative plans for a new version of the mod that rolls in that change SNEG made (And I guess WASD camera support, but I care less about that)? I'm happy to wait, genuinely. I just want to know if I should bother holding out, even if it takes months or whatever time frame.

The change specifically for reference: "

• Added an option to highlight containers while holding TAB, making objects such as chests and barrels easier to spot (Extra tab, enabled by default).
  "

tldr: What is the realistic possibility of a version of co8 w/ content and all the bells and whistles that also folds in the tab-highlight stuff?

Thanks for all your hard work over the years as well, this was my first CRPG as a teenager, and now in my 30s, it's been insane to see how far it really came thanks to all of you.

 

Thanks, I appreciate it. I guess I'll hold out hope that either this ends up getting resolved in the future. Thanks again, though!

 

You can play with full Co8 New Content edition and the SNEG fixes/TemplePlusLite, but currently unable to get full TemplePlus and the SNEG fixes working together properly due to how TPL works as a separate wrapper. I have been trying to get all 3 working properly together but whenever copying the options from the TP ini over to the ToEE-setup.ini (TemplePlusLite) it erases the additional options. To get Co8 New Content edition working with the SNEG fixes I recommend following section 2: Co8/Temple+ Modded of my Steam guide "here" and once you complete Step 9 just hit play in Steam and the options should be working.

 

Appreciate the continued updates, Thalikor.

 

My 26 year old still shares how much fun she had playing TOEE with me 20 years ago. Great family entertainment that you can pause in an instant

 

“Big Pat on the Back!” Thanks to all of you who have kept the D&D freak in us alive for two decades. I remember first rolling dice in 1980 like it was yesterday

 

Now that y’all have played the Steam version does it have the same content as your latest edition? Is their anything better or worse. Will they continue adding future adventures like you genius’s did? Thanks!

 

So I'm curious ...

I heard on a review that the Steam version (and now GOG, which I'd already purchased years ago) with so many of Circle of Eight's fixes in it would not include the additional content you guys created. Will there be a content-only version of your mod? Because I gotta say, I don't think the game would be worth replaying without the Verbobonc and other extra adventure content.

Seriously: play without the Arena of Heroes? I think not!
