Thanks

Your modifications are outstanding. You've made a good game great. I enjoy the 3.5 rule system and Co8 lets me play around with it. This is the first time I've ever participated in a thread of any sort so I'm very excited to contribute what I can. Thank you very much for your work.

 

Check out Temple+ as well, it's adding content to the game also. And there's Keep on the Borderlands and an Icewind Dale conversion being worked on. There's so much new stuff for ToEE in the near future.

 

Awsome-o. KotB is definitely on my list. Can I have it saved on my pc with ToEE at the same time? Does it use the ToEE front end or does it have a separate desktop icon/startpoint?

 

Yes, it's just another module for TFE-X that you can activate.

 

I think that I would like KotB,Temple+,portrait packs ,and an updated Co8 mod ( I'm only on version 8.00 sadly ).
Any advice as to how to achieve these goals? I'm a bit of a duffer at these sort of things. I was barely able to download what I did. The files had to be stored in a special place because of windows 10? Also will I have to delete my saved games as well as the master game file itself for these changes?

 

Have you looked at this link? I think it may help you out installing the latest version, 8.1.0 NC.

You won't have to delete your previously saved game files, but if you're installing a different version of TOEE, you'll have to start a new game.

 

BrotherSmythe, if the task of installing seems daunting, you could always just print out the instructions and mark off each step as you accomplish it.

 

Awsome link

 

Hear hear - I've played through various versions of this game over the years (including the super-duper buggy original incarnation) and with Co8 it's basically better than any CRPG out there.

I only wish there were 3d isometric view (rotate and zoom, but not change angle) of the game. With that and a worldbuilder, it would be timeless.

In fact, someone get on the phone to Digital Extremes (who I think currently hold the rights). This is how a D&D game should play out - evn multiplayer would work well, IMHO.

 

Yeah, I agree with Danger. I've played a lot of the CRPG classics, including some of the ones from the 80s and I always find myself replaying this game in particular. The combat system is just really well done (aside from the bugs of course) and Co8 and Temple+ have added a lot of great content and other tweaks.

I tried playing Icewind Dale again recently and I was honestly pretty bored by the combat. Real Time with Pause systems always feel like a mess, even when games like BG2 try to make the best of them. The Co8 conversion of IWD looks really promising, as ToEE's combat seems tailor-made for that game.

That said, I would love to see this engine, or something like it used for new games. I really think Paizo blundered by not trying to get a good turn-based Pathfinder CRPG on to the market. And I can't remember the last decent D&D RPG we had. NWN2+expansions was okay I guess? Here's to hoping someone will fill that niche eventually.

 

If i need to update from co8 ver. 8.00 AND download /install Temple+,KoTB,portrait packs,etc is there an exact order in which to download /install all of them or do I simply install anything that i want at will?

 

Wait a minute. KoTB is Temple+ friendly?

 

Outstanding!
