    COMPATIBILITY

    The Circle of Eight Modpack is compatible with all available legally purchased editions of ToEE, including the boxed, jewel case, Anthology, and Good Old Games downloadable versions. The Co8 Modpack contains two essential game files that ensure compatibility: temple.dll and toee.exe. Most compatibility issues are resolved by the inclusion of these two files in the modpack, as our files override whichever versions are included in your game.

    STANDARD AND NEW CONTENT VERSIONS

    Our naming mechanism for modpacks is simple: NC stands for new content. Modpacks that have NC appended to their version number feature the major Co8 new content expansions, and those that don't say NC don't feature the major new content expansions. That's all there is to it.

    Standard versions contain mainly bugfixes, rules compliance modifications, AI tweaks, and content restoration, in addition to a few actual mods like the Rannos and Gremag revenge scenario and the Moathouse Ambush. These are 'mini-mods' compared to the major expansions, and we include them in the standard modpack because we don't feel they significantly impact the balance of the game, and because our longterm feedback indicates that over time, they have become considered part and parcel with the basic game. Many players don't even know that they are mods. The standard modpacks also contain all our custom portraits, voice sets, items, worldmap, et al.

    New content versions contain all of the above and the major new content expansions as described below.


    NC expansions 1 - 3 occur during the course of the regular game. Talk to Brother Smyth to access them.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 1 | Ronald Rynnwrathi


    Available at the start of the game. Ronald is an NPC cleric who can be found in the upper level of the Church of St. Cuthbert in Hommlet.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 2 | Welkwood Bog


    Available at the start of the game. Use it to avoid doing the Hommlet Fedex quests! Completing it will take you to roughly level 2.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 3 | Arena of Heroes


    Available after you have been told of Nulb.


    NC expansions 4 - 7 comprise the proper NC portion of the game, or 'part 2,' which is intended to cover levels 11 - 20. Part 2 features the city of Verbobonc as the primary quest hub.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 4 | Verbobonc


    Available after you have dealt with Zuggtmoy. Verbobonc features numerous quests and plots and is not merely a staging ground for the other new content.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 5 | Moathouse Respawn


    Available after you have completed at least one of the fugitive quests for Captain Achan in Verbobonc.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 6 | Hickory Branch


    Available after you have completed the Season of the Witch quest.


    NEW CONTENT EXPANSION 7 | War of the Golden Skull


    Available after you have completed Wilfrick's first two quests - 'Frozen Assets' and 'The Slave Traders.'

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


    The Circle of Eight front end utility, TFE-X, requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) v1.7.0 (also known as Java 7) or higher to run. Most modern systems will have this installed. To check if it's installed on your system, go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and look for 'Java.' Both the standard Oracle package and the open source OpenJDK are fully supported. If you are on Microsoft Windows, you can download Java at this URL: http://java.com/getjava. If you are on Linux, your distro repository should contain a version of Java (e.g. OpenJDK) that you can use.


    COMPATIBILITY NOTES


    The Circle of Eight modpack is compatible with all retail versions of ToEE, including the boxed, jewel case, Anthology, and Good Old Games download versions.


    TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL PATCH LEVELS


    There were three patches released for the original game. The Circle of Eight Modpack uses patch level 2 to function. The third patch only fixed the looting bug and is not necessary, since that bug is fixed in the modpack as well. If you have a version of the game that is pre-patched to level 3, the Circle of Eight Modpack will simply overwrite it to the proper patch level.

    The various releases of the game are patched as follows:

    Boxed: generally not patched. You need to apply Atari patches 1 and 2 (see below).
    Jewel Case: possibly patched. You should apply Atari patches 1 and 2 anyway (see below).
    GOG: pre-patched. You don't need to apply any Atari patches.
    Anthology: pre-patched. You don't need to apply any Atari patches.


    STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS


    These instructions are taken directly from the Circle of Eight Modpack Release Notes. Follow these four simple steps and you'll be on your way to happy gaming.

    STEP 1: INSTALL ATARI PATCH 1

    If your version of ToEE is not pre-patched, install Atari Patch 1. It is available here:

    [​IMG]

    STEP 2: INSTALL ATARI PATCH 2

    If your version of ToEE is not pre-patched, install Atari Patch 2. It is available here:

    [​IMG]

    STEP 3: DO NOT INSTALL ATARI PATCH 3

    There is no need to install Atari Patch 3. The only additional feature Atari Patch 3 contains is a fix for the infamous DirectX 9.0c looting bug, but this particular issue is also fixed by the Circle of Eight modpack. If you have installed patch 3 already or if your game comes pre-patched with Atari Patch 3, don't worry. It doesn't matter.

    STEP 4: INSTALL THE CIRCLE OF EIGHT MODPACK

    The Circle of Eight Modpack is available here:

    [​IMG]

    Double click the Circle of Eight Modpack Setup utility to begin installation. When prompted to choose an installation location, make sure to select the location where your game is installed. The default location as defined by the Circle of Eight Modpack is C:/Temple of Elemental Evil. If you are using a modern operating system like Windows 7 or 8, it is best to avoid installing to the Program Files directory, as those operating systems may not allow unrestricted access there. The Circle of Eight Modpack and Installation Utility require unrestricted access. The default installation location for most versions of ToEE is generally in Program Files. We recommend you change this and install to the root directory of your C: drive.

    Follow all on-screen promps. After the modpack has been deployed, the Circle of Eight front end utility, TFE-X, will automatically launch.

    If this is a new installation, TFE-X will perform the necessary operations to convert your installation for use with the Circle of Eight Modpack. Be patient; this can take some time. When TFE-X is finished, it will report the status to you in a popup window. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS POPUP NOTIFICATION WINDOW, THE CONVERSION IS NOT COMPLETE. DO NOT CTRL-ALT-DEL OUT OF THE TFE-X APPLICATION. WAIT FOR THE POPUP WINDOW. Next, select the Circle of Eight Modpack from the TFE-X menu and click 'activate.' This can also take some time. WAIT FOR THE POPUP WINDOW TO TELL YOU THAT THE MODULE ACTIVATION IS COMPLETE. DO NOT CTRL-ALT-DEL OUT OF THE TFE-X APPLICATION. After the module has been activated, you may customize various options through TFE-X and launch the game.

    If this is an existing installation to which you are simply adding the Circle of Eight Modpack, simply select the Circle of Eight Modpack from the TFE-X menu and click 'activate.' This can also take some time. WAIT FOR THE POPUP WINDOW TO TELL YOU THAT THE MODULE ACTIVATION IS COMPLETE. DO NOT CTRL-ALT-DEL OUT OF THE TFE-X APPLICATION. After the module has been activated, you may customize various options through TFE-X and launch the game.

    Version 4 of TFE-X will give you feedback on the progress of conversion and module activation. Pay attention to this feedback and do not interrupt any of TFE-X's operations.

    STEP 5: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A PATCH OR AN ADD-ON MODULE

    If you are installing an add-on module like a patch or some other specialized mod, double click its setup utility and follow all on-screen prompts. Be sure to select the correct game directory as detailed above in Step 4. Check for patch availability here:

    [​IMG]

    Launch TFE-X after installation, click Add-On Packs, select the add-on pack you want to install, and click install. WAIT OUT THE INSTALLATION.

    addon.png

    The module that you are adding the add-on pack to must be activated and selected in the TFE-X module menu prior to activating the add-on pack.

    You may only have one add-on pack activated at a time.

    THE CO8 GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL GAMING WITH TOEE

    Here are some helpful tips to ensure that your ToEE gaming experience is as smooth and problem-free as possible. Learn them, know them, live them, and hold them close to your heart.


    Run as administrator, if you're using Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.


    Do not install ToEE to the Program Files folder, if you're using Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10. These operating systems oftentimes have issues with allowing access to files in the Program Files folder and its sub folders, and the Co8 modpack needs access to the game files in order to install and run properly. So instead, install to a custom location like C:/ToEE.


    Do not attempt to use saves across modules. (e.g., do not use v6.0.0 saves with v8.0.0.) They are NOT compatible.


    Set your video card to a 'no scaling' setting for video playback. This will make in-game videos play at their original resolution. Some systems experience game crashes when they try to scale ToEE's videos to fit the monitor.


    Do not play at a resolution greater than 1680 x 1050. The highest resolution reliably supported by ToEE is 1680 x 1050.


    Do not use quicksaves with ToEE. They corrupt easily. Instead, use an array of at least 5 regular saves while playing ToEE, overwriting each in turn. This practice should ensure that you have a good save to go back to if one becomes corrupt.


    Do not save during combat. This also runs a greater risk of save corruption.


    Do not play in Ironman mode. Save corruption is a fact of life with ToEE, and if your Ironman save becomes corrupt, you're finished. If you want an Ironman-style game, it's best to simply play Ironman-style in a regular game.


    Do not use autosave on map change with ToEE. Using this feature will break certain scripts in ToEE. It is set to 'off' by default in the Co8 modpack.


    Do not install the moebius2778 temple.dll independantly. This file has been heavily modded since moebius2778's day at Co8, and moebius' fixes are included in the current version. If you overwrite the current version with the moebius version, you will be 'undoing' a great many fixes. Do not install it separately.


    Do not put an NPC in the left-most position in the party queue along the bottom of the screen. This can cause a variety of problems, such as quests not updating properly or even appearing in your logbook at all.


    Do not use Scather or Fragarach in the Fire Node or the Fire Temple. You will likely experience the endless AoO loop, and you will be very sad.

    THE TOEE TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST

    Having problems launching the Co8 mod? Having problems with bad saves? Having problems with the game itself? Here are some things to check.


    I'm running ToEE and TFE-X under Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10, and when I try to launch TFE-X, it says "Another instance of TOEE Front-End X is already running!"

    You have to run TFE-X as administrator in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. Right click the TFE-X application icon and check 'Run as administrator.'


    The game installs fine and maybe even launches fine, once, but then it won't launch anymore! Or, when I try to launch the game via TFE-X, it says that I have to run it from the root directory!

    Your anti-virus software is probably quarantining or deleting the toee executable (toee.exe). Unfortunately, some anti-virus software falsely identifies the ToEE executable as a trojan, but it's a false positive. If the executable is quarantined or deleted, the game won't launch, obviously. (And if the front end can't find toee.exe in your root directory due to it being quarantined or deleted, it assumes you're trying to launch the game from somewhere else.)

    Solutions:
    1. Add toee.exe to your AV software's exceptions list. If that doesn't work -
    2. Disable your AV software. If that doesn't work -
    3. Uninstall your AV software. Yes, some AV software will still kill toee.exe even if it's not running. AVG Free is recommended for use with ToEE. You only have to add toee.exe as an exception once and that's it.


    My anti-virus software says that the executable (toee.exe) is secretly a virus!

    No it's not. Some anti-virus software falsely identifies the ToEE executable as a trojan, but it's a false positive. Some anti-virus software may even auto-delete or auto-quarantine the executable. You may need to disable or even uninstall your antivirus software if this happens to you. Not all anti-virus software considers toee.exe to be a trojan, so there are alternatives.


    My game seems to be missing things from the modpack. I get no shopmap, or bugfixes that I know should be there aren't, etc. Or maybe the game doesn't even launch at all! What's going on?

    If you installed ToEE to the Program Files folder and you're running Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10, your operating system may not be allowing access to those files. This will make the Co8 modpack malfunction or not function at all. Reinstall the game and the modpack to a custom location like C:/ToEE.


    My game seems weird. Vanilla elements appear to be mixed with modded elements. What's going on?

    When you installed the Co8 (or KotB) module via TFE-X, did you allow the installation to finish, per the installation instructions? Activating a module may take a long time. You must not interrupt the process or quit before you see a message stating that the activation is complete. If you do, many strange things may happen. If you're unsure whether you allowed the activation to complete, activate the vanilla module and then re-activate the Co8 mod, being sure to allow the activation to finish.


    My saves have gone bad for no reason!

    Have you used the console to give yourself any items? Inputting a bad proto into the console can cause save corruption long after the fact. It is generally a good idea to avoid this if you're not absolutely sure what you're doing. If you've got a bad save for no apparent reason that you can recall and you're a console user, there's a very good chance that this is the culprit. There is no known cure. Either go back to a good save (if you have one) or start over ... and learn from your mistake.


    I have the maximum number of PCs set to 8 in TFE-X, but the game won't let me add more than 5 on the party pool page!

    The game actually is adding them. You just can't see them on the party pool page due to original user interface limitations. They will be there when you start the game.


    My party has just arrived on a new map, but now they have all disappeared! Only their blue circles remain!

    You're playing at a greater resolution than is reliably supported by ToEE. The highest supported resolution is 1680 x 1050.

    KNOWN ISSUES


    LAG: the game stops responding, animations cease, and characters are frozen in place for periods of a few seconds to a few minutes.

    Where does it happen? The Air, Earth, and Fire Nodes, Temple Level 4, and the Fire Temple on Temple level 2.

    What should I do? Wait. The game will come back to life. To lessen it, don't issue long-range movement commands where it occurs.

    Status: Lag has been dramatically reduced in the Co8 Modpack. It's probably most significant still on Temple Level 4.


    HANGING COMBAT: the initiative bar is empty for your character in combat, and the game can't progress because he/she can't complete his/her turn.

    Where does it happen? The Fire Temple and the Fire Node, mostly.

    What should I do? If your affected character has a potion, try to use it. Otherwise, avoid using the answering swords (Scather and Fragarach) in areas where the bug occurs. It's nearly always related to these swords' abilities to award attacks of opportunity against enemies who have delivered fire damage.

    Status: Sadly, this is here to stay.


    SPELL PERMANENCY: the effects of a spell are permanent on your character(s) and/or the associated spell animations are always active around them.

    Where does it happen? Anywhere.

    What should I do? Go see Jaroo in Hommlet, inquire about healing, and complain about spell permanency.

    Status: This is also not going anywhere.


    MISSING SECRET DOORS AND STAIRS: you cannot detect secret doors and stairs.

    Where does it happen? Anywhere, but moreso in the Moathouse than anywhere else.

    What should I do? Go see Jaroo in Hommlet, inquire about healing, choose "I have contracted a strange affliction while adventuring," and complain about secret passageways. This will cause all secret doors to be revealed.

    Status: Addressed as of Co8 v8.1.

    CO8 LINE-ITEM NEW CONTENT: BARD SPELLS


    5th LEVEL

    Cure Light Wounds, Mass*

    Dispel Magic, Greater | This spell functions like Dispel Magic, except that the maximum caster level on your dispel check is +20 instead of +10.

    Eyebite | Each round, you may target a single living creature, striking it with waves of evil power. Depending on the target's HD, this attack has as many as three effects. HD 10 or more: Sickened. HD 5-9: Panicked, sickened. HD 4 or less: Comatose, panicked, sickened. The effects are cumulative and concurrent. Co8 note: The "sickened" condition has been implemented as "despaired", as per the Crushing Despair spell.

    Heroism, Greater | This spell imbues a single creature with great bravery and morale in battle. The target gains a +4 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks.

    Summon Monster V*


    6th LEVEL

    Analyze Dweomer | You discern all spells and magical properties present in a number of creatures or objects. Each round, you may examine a single creature or object that you can see as a free action. In the case of a magic item, you learn its functions, how to activate its functions (if appropriate), and how many charges are left (if it uses charges). In the case of an object or creature with active spells cast upon it, you learn each spell, its effect, and its caster level. An attended object may attempt a Will save to resist this effect if its holder so desires. If the save succeeds, you learn nothing about the object except what you can discern by looking at it. Analyze dweomer does not function when used on an artifact. Focus: A tiny lens of ruby or sapphire set in a small golden loop. The gemstone must be worth at least 1,500 gp.

    Cat's Grace, Mass | This spell functions like Cat's Grace, except that it affects multiple creatures.

    Charm Monster, Mass | This spell functions like Charm Monster, except that mass charm monster affects a number of creatures whose combined HD do not exceed twice your level, or at least one creature regardless of HD.

    Cure Moderate Wounds, Mass | This spell functions like Cure Light Wounds, Mass, except that it cures 2d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +30).

    Eagle's Splendor, Mass | This spell functions like Eagle's Splendor, except that it affects multiple creatures.

    Fox's Cunning, Mass | This spell functions like Fox's Cunning, except that it affects multiple creatures.

    Heroes' Feast | You bring forth a great feast, including a magnificent table, chairs, service, and food and drink. The feast takes 1 hour to consume, and the beneficial effects do not set in until this hour is over. Every creature partaking of the feast is cured of all diseases, sickness, and nausea; becomes immune to poison for 12 hours; and gains 1d8 temporary hit points +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10) after imbibing the nectar-like beverage that is part of the feast.

    1st LEVEL

    Ray of Clumsiness | A coruscating ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes 1d6 points of Dexterity damage, +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +5). Unlike normal ability damage, this damage goes away at the end of the spell's duration.
    2nd LEVEL


    Scorching Ray | You blast your enemies with fiery rays. You may fire one ray, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of three rays at 11th level). Each ray requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 4d6 points of fire damage. The rays may be fired at the same or different targets, but all bolts must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously.


    3rd LEVEL

    Gentle Repose | You preserve the remains of a dead creature so that they do not decay. When cast on a living creature, that creature will not decay upon its death.


    5th LEVEL

    Extraplanar Chest | This spell creates a miniature magic chest that you can use to summon a large magic chest in which to store items. Items stored in the Extraplanar Chest, and the chest itself, do not count against the load you are carrying and will not overburden you. After you have stored items in the large chest, you must use the miniature chest again to send the large chest back to the Ethereal Plane from whence it came, or it will remain wherever you leave it. Note that any charged magical items (such as wands, staves, and rods) cannot be recovered from the chest once it has been sent back to the Ethereal Plane and should thus not be stored in it. Additionally, any magic weapons and armor with crafted attributes will lose those attributes if they are stored in the chest and the chest is sent back to the Ethereal Plane, so do not store crafted weapons and armor in the chest. All other items are unaffected. The first casting of this spell costs 5050 gold pieces.


    6th LEVEL

    Analyze Dweomer | You discern all spells and magical properties present in a number of creatures or objects. Each round, you may examine a single creature or object that you can see as a free action. In the case of a magic item, you learn its functions, how to activate its functions (if appropriate), and how many charges are left (if it uses charges). In the case of an object or creature with active spells cast upon it, you learn each spell, its effect, and its caster level. An attended object may attempt a Will save to resist this effect if its holder so desires. If the save succeeds, you learn nothing about the object except what you can discern by looking at it. Analyze dweomer does not function when used on an artifact. Focus: A tiny lens of ruby or sapphire set in a small golden loop. The gemstone must be worth at least 1,500 gp.

Unlike Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning strikes one object or creature initially, then arcs to other targets. The bolt deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 10d6) to the primary target. After it strikes, lightning can arc to a number of secondary targets equal to your caster level (maximum 10). The secondary bolts each strike one target and deal half as much damage as the primary one did. Each target can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage. You choose secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 30 feet of the primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. You can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum (to avoid allies in the area, for example).

    Circle of Death | A circle of death snuffs out the life force of living creatures, killing them instantly. The spell slays 1d4 HD worth of living creatures per caster level (maximum 20d4). Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first; among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the burst’s point of origin are affected first. No creature of 9 or more HD can be affected, and Hit Dice that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted. Material Component: The powder of a crushed black pearl with a minimum value of 500 gp.

    Disintegrate | A thin, green ray springs from your pointing finger. You must make a successful ranged touch attack to hit. Any creature struck by the ray takes 2d6 points of damage per caster level (to a maximum of 40d6). Any creature reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by this spell is entirely disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine dust. A disintegrated creature's equipment is unaffected. A creature or object that makes a successful Fortitude save is partially affected, taking only 5d6 points of damage. If this damage reduces the creature or object to 0 or fewer hit points, it is entirely disintegrated.

    Dispel Magic, Greater | This spell functions like Dispel Magic, except that the maximum caster level on your dispel check is +20 instead of +10.

Co8 note: The "sickened" condition has been implemented as "despaired", as per the Crushing Despair spell.

    Fox's Cunning, Mass | This spell functions like Fox's Cunning, except that it affects multiple creatures.

    Control Undead | This spell enables you to command undead creatures for a short period of time. You command them by voice and they understand you, no matter what language you speak. Even if vocal communication is impossible the controlled undead do not attack you. At the end of the spell, the subjects revert to their normal behavior. Intelligent undead creatures remember that you controlled them.

(F10)' from the TFE-X Options menu and enter a number from 0 to 5. You can change this value as often as you like to suit your needs. The default is 1.

Co8 Note: The sword has been given finite HP and may be attacked by opponents, since the AI can't tell it's invulnerable.

    Power Word Blind | You utter a single word of power that causes one creature of your choice to become blinded, whether the creature can hear the word or not.

    Dominate Monster** | Subjects resist this control, and any subject forced to take actions against its nature receives a new saving throw with a +2 bonus. Obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out. Once control is established, the range at which it can be exercised is unlimited, as long as you and the subject are on the same plane. You need not see the subject to control it. Protection From Evil or a similar spell can prevent you from using the telepathic link while the subject is so warded, but such an effect neither prevents the establishment of domination nor dispels it.
