ToEE Patch/Updates Thread (Replies accepted, but no spam, please.)

Being one of the major contributers to the 5.0.0 mod, I am most deffinately playing it. Both the 5.0.0 beta installer, and cumulative fix patch can be found here. And can I just say, this is IMHO the best Co8 mod to date, more new content, more bug fixes, and a whole lot more rules compliance than ever before. The entire game has had a makeover, and is a joy to play. I totally recommend it to anyone.

I have to start ToEE for the first time. Should I use the Co8 5.0 mod? What do you suggest?

I recently installed the game for the first time in months, on a new system. I noticed that my PC's couldn't loot anything, so I did a websearch and found out about patch 3, which I installed. Now the game won't start up. At all. It goes straight back to the desktop before the designer loading screens even come up. What's up?

The looting thing i know has been a problem with me since day 1 especially with any humanoid. To get around it you need to loot while in combat so you slect coup de grace on the dead body and loot it. I have patch 2.0 and now it wont work for me though so ya, can that nice man whos pming people on how to fix it tell me please?

The most recent Circle of Eight mod Pack also clears lots of bugs, including the looting one. You can find it at Sorcerer's Place - Neverwinter Nights 2, Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, Dragon Age News .

That worked for me. I downloaded the unofficial patch, dropped the dll file into the Temple of Elemental Evil folder in the ToEE directory on my C: drive (after moving the original dll file to a safe place in my My Documents folder) and I've since been able to loot.

I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to do with the notepad files and the contents of the data folder (from the unofficial patch).

I had that same problem. Re-installed WindowsXP and after installing patch 3 it kept quitting back to desktop as soon as I ran it. I installed Patch 2 back over patch 3 and now it's running okay. I swapped the dll file as above to fix the looting bug and it worked (I just don't know what to do with the rest of the files & folders for the unofficial patch zip). FYI to read the "Read.Me" file in the unoffical patch zip, rename it to "ReadMe" (without the full stop) and then right click on the file icon and choose "Open with..." and then choose "Notepad".

The guys at Co8 have basically created a whole new ToEE game; brand new content from start to finish. New maps, new locations, everything. It's based on the classic 1st edition module, the Keep on the Borderlands, and it is truly a labor of love. These guys are pouring work into this thing for zero financial reward.

It's not polished, but it's playable, as I understand it. Haven't tried it myself but people are raving.

Go ahead and check it out at Co8.org. I believe to run it you have to use their "Front End" program which is a program they've created that lets you run different configurations of Temple without reinstalling or anything. The installation of all the components for that and for KotB is slightly involved if you're not very good with computers, but they have detailed instructions and are active on their board to offer assistance.

to Lord Plothos... I downloaded all the Atari patches and installed them. When I tried to play the game, it comes up with an error message saying that I need to insert the Play Disc. Well, the Play Disc is already in the drive. I turned off the computer and rebotted, but that doesn't work.

How do you get the patches to work?
Can u help me... please explain it step by step with the link that I can download it like patch or mod

Thanks..

Do not install the third atari patch, only the two first.
Then download the co8 mod and install it, then launch the game with icon that is named: Temple of Elemental Evil (Front-End)
