Circle of Eight saves Atari...again!!!

Post by Grimhellfinger »

I have not been able to download their 3.03 patch, but their web site gives details on the fixes they have been kind enough to give us...again!!!

ToEE_Circle_of_Eight_Release_303.rar hopefully will be downloadable soon.

Without Co8's help...this would be a game that would've be round-filed!

The 3.03 patch is pretty nice I like it so far...

The only thing I didn't like about it (since it has a total replacement of the protos.tab file) I had to add my master works composite bows and other things I put in the game back in.

They are mostly minor fixes but thanks for the compliments.
You can download the mod pack here:
http://www.co8.org/files/patch/ToEE_Cir ... se_303.rar

We would like to have a proper installer but it may take some time as most of the staff are still tied up with other matters. Any assistance is most highly welcome.
The mod pack is intended to be compatible with 2nd official patch changes. Please install the 2nd official patch before applying the mod pack. Also remember to back up all previous subfolders, especially data and modules before you apply the mod pack in case you wish to restore the original settings.

@Eflat: We are currently working on some extra content to put in the game. Composite bows is definitely one of them. Bard instruments is another. I'm also working on a small dialogue mod to acquire a scroll of fireball (which is needed to destroy the Golden Orb of Death). Others are working on making various craftable items.
I would very much like to hear your ideas on this (composite bows and other things) in more detail so that we can incorporate them into the next patch update.

Thanks Zhuge, I'm glad there's some interest in improving the game - the interface and engine are really nice, and what you guys at the co8 do is nothing less than fantastic.

- I do a little bit of simple mods when I get the chance. Well ie.) I added masterworks composite bows (created objects 4237 long and 4238 short respectively - (I already had an ultimate weapon - a Holy vorpal bastard sword with defensive and spell properties in 4236 for my son when he feels like running amuck through the game with one PC - he's young, it keeps him amused) Anyway then I added the bows to the Blacksmiths dialog you guys re-built and since I was in there I decided what the heck I'm here and have the space in the dialog and added finely crafted arrows and bolts too (new objects 5014, 5015... well it's late at night and flubed a typo in the dialog 6014 - "lizardmans shield" instead of 5014, LOL well the funiest thing is the inventory icon (col 53) for 6014 is 2 - which of course is a strange bronze looking shortsword kind of like a large gladius but with a wider hilt guard;-)
