SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ==================================================================================================== MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS * Operating System: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP * Processor: Pentium(r) III 700 MHz * Memory: 128 MB * Hard Disk Space: 1200 MB Free * CD-ROM Drive: 4x * Video: 16 MB Windows 98/ME/2000/XP-compatible 3D video card * Sound: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP compliant soundcard * DirectX: DirectX(r) version 9.0 (included) or higher * Peripherals: Keyboard, Mouse RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS * Operating System: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP * Processor: Pentium(r) 4 1.7 GHz or higher * Memory: 256 MB * Hard Disk Space: 1.2 GB * CD-ROM Drive: 10x speed * Video: 64 MB Windows 98/Me/2000/XP-compatible 3D video card * Sound: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP DirectX(r) certified sound card * DirectX: DirectX(r) version 9.0 (included) or higher * Peripherals: Keyboard, Mouse ==================================================================================================== 2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ==================================================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 1: INSTALL ATARI PATCH 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Atari's ToEE patch 2 includes all the fixes from patch 1, but there have been reports from people who experienced problems when they skipped patch 1. Therefore, we recommend installing it first, just to be on the safe side. It is available here: ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/patches/toee/TOEE_PATCH1_ENU.EXE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 2: INSTALL ATARI PATCH 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After installing patch 1, install patch 2. It is available here: ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/patches/toee/TOEE_USA_ANY-PATCH2.EXE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 3: DO NOT INSTALL ATARI PATCH 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You SHOULD NOT install Atari's patch 3, since it's not compatible with this mod. The only additional feature patch 3 contains anyway is a fix for the infamous DirectX 9.0c looting bug. But this particular issue is also addressed by the Co8 modpack. If you have installed patch 3 already and want to get rid of it, just install patch 2 on top of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 4: INSTALL MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK VERSION 2.0 OR HIGHER ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft's .NET Framework Version 2.0 (or higher) is required for Temple of Elemental Evil Front-End X (see below). Get .NET here, if you don't have it already: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en Most modern systems should already have this installed. To check if it's installed on your system, go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and look for 'Microsoft .NET Framework.' Versions above 2.0 are compatible, but you have to have at least 2.0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 5: INSTALL CO8 MODPACK 5.9.x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have completed the above steps, open the CO8 MODPACK 5.9.x winRAR archive and extract the contents to your ToEE root directory, which is normally C:\Program Files\Atari\Temple of Elemental Evil. Next, open Windows Explorer and navigate to this same directory. Inside you'll find an application called 'TFE-X,' which is the Co8 front end utility. Double click the icon. If this is a new installation, TFE-X will perform the necessary operations to convert your installation for use with the Co8 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. If this is an existing installation to which you are simply adding the Co8 5.9.x BETA module, run TFE-X, select Circle of Eight Modpack 5.9.x BETA, and click 'activate.' 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. Afterwards, you may customize various options through TFE-X and launch the game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES ABOUT TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL FRONT END X ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Co8 modpack comes bundled with Agetian's Temple of Elemental Evil Front-End X (TFE-X), which is used to launch modules safely and start the game with custom options. View TFE-X-readme.txt in your docs directory for more info. When you launch TFE-X, you'll be able to choose between the original game version and the Co8 modpack (as well as any other modules you may have installed). Note that you must select the Co8 module in TFE-X in order to play the modded version of ToEE! The use of TFE-X is now mandatory, but it's operation is not destructive to your installation. TFE-X integrates a variety of patches, like dulcaoin's ToEE PC Count Patcher and Drifter's Humble NPCs, as well as a button which allows you to disable/enable the intro movies. ==================================================================================================== 3. GAMEPLAY NOTES ==================================================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HAVE 'AUTO SAVE ON MAP CHANGES' SET TO 'OFF.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to MAIN MENU > OPTIONS > GAME OPTIONS > PREFERENCES and uncheck the appropriate box to do this, if it is not already unchecked. Note that 'Auto Save on Map Changes' is set to off by default. Auto Save on Map Changes skips the first heartbeat script. This is an essential scripting step for many functions. Many of our fixes and additions absolutely need the first heartbeat. We have tried to work around this as much as possible, but unfortunately the first heartbeat is a necessity. So, if you re-load from an auto-save you will miss out on some events. This is true for both our scripts and some scripts designed by Troika. In addition, when you re-load from an auto-save, the heartbeat event is occasionally disabled for certain scripts. We find no pattern to this, but some scripts simply do not run properly when loading from an auto-save. You should manually save your game before changing maps. This will solve the problem and will give you plenty of saves to return to in case of disaster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: YOU MUST START A NEW GAME WITH Co8 5.9.x. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old saved games will not work with this modpack. The game will report that these saves are corrupt and will not let you load them. You may use beginning characters you have already created, but not saved games. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES ABOUT THE LEVEL CAP: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The maximum level you could reach in the original game was 10. With the Co8 modpack, the default level cap is set to 20 (you cannot go any higher!). If you want to lower the level cap just select the Max Level drop down menu option and enter any value from 1 to 20 in the corresponding field. ==================================================================================================== 4.

CO8 5.0.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Kalshane's proto fixes: corects protos.tab file to conform (as best possible given the limitations of the game engine) to the 3.5e D&D ruleset.

Expect them to get even tougher the higher level you are. - The summoned creature limit has been increased from 5 to 10. - Hedrack/Iuz/Cuthbert/High Priest/Senshock fix: this should fix the dialog issues with that battle and the problem of Iuz reanimating fallen party members as zombies. It should also fix the problem of Hedrack not recognizing the correct high priest who took you to meet him. The problem with combat initiating before dialog starts has been fixed, and now all dialogs should function as intended. This fix also fixes combat starting immediately upon entering Senshock’s chamber. - NPCs will no longer go hostile when removed from the party because of accidental friendly fire or helpful spells cast upon them while in the party. - Vrock Spores and Hezrou Stench have been reworked. - Various faction fixes have been implemented so that enemies get along with each other now and fight the party rather than each other. - Fixed the problem of not being able to give directions to Countess Tillahi when you should be able to. - Removed the goblin from Hommlet and placed Black Jay’s ring elsewhere, depending on the party alignment. - Masterwork items are now available in Brother Smyth’s shop screen, rather than through dialog.

CO8 4.0.0 and revisions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Drifter's Humble NPCs Mod (optional): allows for complete player control of NPC inventories. - Drifter's Max Hitpoint Patch (optional): offers options to always get max hit points at levelup, have critters get max hit points, and show hit points for NPCs. - dulcaoin's PC Count Patcher: a nifty utility that allows you to play with up to eight PCs. - Fixed the SP2/DirectX9c issues with looting that Official Patch 3 was supposed to fix, without the added bugs. - Level dependent spell maximums installed. - Fast Movement should scale up to level 20 for monks, and Monk and Barbarian Fast Movements should stack. - The memorization list had those nifty meta-magic colored ball thingies so you can tell if you really maximized that fireball or not. Won't show up on your spell casting radial menu though. - Resurrecting level one characters with constitution boosts should now correctly subtract two constitution points. - Skill Focus feats now display correctly. - Widen Spell now boosts spell level by three instead of one. - Spell DCs are now correctly calculated - using a higher level slot will no longer boost the DC of the spell, normally. If Heighten Spell is used, the level of the slot will be used, then any non-Heighten Spell meta-magic feats will be deleted, and the remaining spell level will be used. - Replacing a higher level spell slot that has been used to hold a lower level spell with a spell of the correct level no longer requires closing and reopening the spell memorization interface. - Sorcerers and Bards can now use higher level spell slots to cast lower level spells. - The ntdll.dll bug was sort of bashed out of existence. - Bardic spells may no longer use the silent spell feat. - Metamagic feats should now be stackable (except Still Spell, Silent Spell, Maximize Spell and Quicken Spell). - Widen Spell should now work. - Extend Spell should now work correctly. - Craft Staff and Forge Ring feats now working. - Grank's bandits in the Water Node should no longer cause a CTD. - Potion of Super Heroism should now work. - Craft Magical Arms and Armor now correctly sets the xp cost for crafting an already magical weapon. - Craft Magical Arms and Armor now correctly recognizes magical shields as valid targets. For some odd reason, 'Shield Enhancement Bonus' wasn't a valid type of effect for CMA&A before. - Chain Lightning, True Seeing, and whatever the other sixth level spell is are now correctly indicated as being sixth level spells during the add spells dialouge when leveling up. - Sorcerer's (and probably Bard's) spell selection screens should no longer be screwy looking when gaining level 6+ spells. - Can now actually use level 6+ spell slots for the correct level when choosing spells on level up. - Level 6+ spells should now show up on the radial menu. - Paladin Smite Evil should now be usable the appropriate number of times per day at levels ten and higher. - Paladin Remove Disease should now be usable the appropriate number of times per week at levels 10+. - Nature Sense should now actually work. - Spells memorized using the specialist spell slots should now stay there. - Longspear has been added to the list of simple weapons, and removed from the list of martial weapons. The MWP (longspear) feat has been disabled. Also added longspear to SWP (rogue) and SWP (bard). - Fixed Greater Spell Focus.

When the weapon is destroyed it will stop fighting. Spiritual Weapon is still immune to magic attacks. (Spiritual Weapon was a broken spell because NPCs would attack it in melee combat. NPCs would do nothing but attack the Spiritual Weapon for several rounds. Thus you could use Spiritual Weapon to win any battle with melee NPCs.) - Sleet Storm now does cold damage to those wearing metal armor. Sleet Storm also causes a reflex save. Failure causes you to slip on the ice. Spell graphics have been changed. (Sleet Storm was a broken spell. It would cause NPCs and PCs to get endless AoOs when a prone character would stand. Invisibility plus any AoO other than moving through a threatened space causes a huge bug. This spell was a disaster.) - Mordenkainen’s Faithful Hound now has hit points (25 + 6 x spell caster level). When the hound is destroyed it will stop fighting. It is still immune to magic attacks. (Mordenkainen’s Faithful Hound was a broken spell because NPCs would attack it in melee combat. NPCs would do nothing but attack the hound for several rounds. Thus you could use it to win any battle with melee NPCs.) - Made 3rd and 4th level paladin and ranger spells castable through a rather dodgy method.

Now one of eight maps is randomly chosen for each random encounter. Previously, only two or three of the eight maps were used. - Implemented monster HD changes. - Fixed temple level 1 gnolls getting damage reduction. - Fixed Moathouse gnolls getting damage reduction. - Fixed skeletons getting AoOs while using crossbows. - Bodaks now have a Death Gaze attack. - Gorgons now have a Petrifying Breath attack (of sorts). - Basilisks now have a Petrifying Gaze attack (of sorts). - Summoned demons will no longer summon additional demons. - Major adjustments to Guardian Balor, Guardian Vrock, Guardian Glabrezu, and Guardian Hezrou. - Hezrou now has stench effect. - Hezrou Stench has been adjusted to make encounter more playable. - Mass Cure Light Wounds now works as per 3.5 rules. - Mass Inflict Light Wounds now works as per 3.5 rules. - Changed Fruella’s feat from Weapon Focus: Battleaxe to Weapon Focus: Hand Axe to reflect her starting with a masterwork cleaver (weapon type hand axe). - Changed some content to add realism. - Created special dialog option for Jaroo to solve spell permanency problem. Ask about reincarnation to access. - Fixed some of the broken NPC sounds. - Summoned skeletons with crossbows will now have many more bolts. - Repaired broken traps. - Changed experience system for setting off/disarming traps (no experience): the only way to gain experience from traps is to disarm them. - Adjusted hit dice size of some creatures that were simply too easy. - Adjusted many skill check requirements. - Female long hair (all colours, all races) no longer has that stupid bump at the back. If you don’t want it changed, delete folder 'data/art/meshes/hair' after install. - Wizard hat is now black. If you don’t want it black, delete folder 'data/art/meshes/helms' after install. - Ochre villager garb now features a black skirt. - Fixed masterwork armor bonus being added to skill checks. - Gnoll caravan attack map fix: a 'travel agent' has been added to take you off that map if you get stuck. - Fixed the second Earth Temple quest (Letter Delivery) so that if Rentsch is dead you can correctly report it. - Fixed bug associated with Brother Smyth and viewing his inventory through dialogue. - Rufus should now leave the party if you ask him to. - Fixed the issue of Smigmal Redhand disappearing and then later attacking while untargetable. - Terjon should now acknowledge that the Moathouse has been cleared after you've cleared it. - Low intelligence responses fixed in Lareth's dialogue file. - Low intelligence responses fixed in Rannos and Gremag's dialogue files. - Elmo will now sober up (stop staggering and talking foolishly) if you ask him to. - Fixed some bugs with Lareth’s spiders. - Put kids back into TOEE with dialog. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H. CO8 3.0.0 and revisions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - duggelz's level uncapper: PCs may now level up past 10th. - Shin’s looting fix: NPCs will now only loot gems and jewelry, for the most part. - NPCs now level up as if they were PCs. - Halflings should now get the +4 hide modifier due to small size. - Skill Focus (Perform), Skill Focus (Survival), Skill Focus (Tumble), and Skill Focus (Use Device) should work and give +3 modifiers to the appropriate skill. - You should no longer be able to take Power Attack at creation if you have a strength of 12 (or any other strength dependent skill). - You should no longer be able to take Quick Draw at creation if you do not have a BAB of +1. - Greater Flurry (well, the improved version of Flurry of Blows at level 11) should now work. - Ki Strike should now add the adamantium damage type at level 16. - Open hand damage for large sized monks should be correctly calculated. - Unarmed damage for non-monk enlarged medium sized creatures should now be 1d4. (May have been 1d3 before. Not sure.) - Monk and barbarian Fast Movement bonuses split. Monk Fast Movement bonus is treated as an enhancement bonus (as per PHB 3.5), and thus does not stack with Haste or Expeditious Retreat. Barbarian Fast Movement is treated as an unnamed bonus, and thus stacks with Expeditious Retreat. Haste does not work correctly with it yet. - Abundant Step feat name added. (Doesn't do anything) - Quivering Palm feat name added. (Doesn't do anything) - Empty Body feat name added. (Doesn't do anything) - Perfect Self feat name added. (Doesn't do anything) - Base intelligence now used for calculating skill points. - Odd bug with regard to raising intelligence on level up - would occassionally not give you an extra skill point even if you should've gotten one, but required that you had previously selected another stat as your attribute to be raised, and then selected intelligence. Should be fixed. - Half point skill ranks should now display correctly in the levelup dialog. - Class skills of cleric domains are now properly treated as actual class skills when leveling up cleric. - Class skills of cleric domains are now always correctly treated as class skills for the purposes of calculating the maximum rank possible, even when not leveling up cleric. - Can now increase the rank of non-class skills of the class being leveled up to the maximum rank possible if the skill is a class skill of another of your classes. - Barbarians now retain their +10 movement while wearing medium armor. - Barbarians no longer maintain their +10 movement while heavily encumbered. - Monk special abilities (Flurry of Blows, Monk AC bonuses, and Fast Movement) no longer apply while monks are medium or heavily encumbered. - Monk/Barbarians (all two of them) will still get their +10 movement even while wearing armor. I think. I didn't actually have a Monk/Barbarian to test this out with. - Stunning Fist now has (monk_level) + (non_monk_levels / 4) charges per, well...rest period, probably. Used to be (level) number of charges. - Selecting an attribute to improve during levelup will now clear your feat selection choices. This was done as the simplest way to avoid invalid feat selections. (i.e., raise your strength to 13, pick power attack, and then raise some other attribute.) - You can no longer raise skills if you have negative skill points. (Okay, it didn't happen that often, and it wouldn't actually let you finish leveling up if you did have negative skill points, but it was still a bug.) - Power Attack will only apply the attack penalties if you are wielding a non-light weapon, or your primary attack is unarmed. Theoretically, if monks are ever capable of doing unarmed strikes even while armed, Power Attack should more or less always be on, but they're not, so it's not. Now to fix damage. - Power Attack should apply a x1 damage bonus to unarmed attacks and one-handed weapons when either an off-hand weapon is used or a shield is used. Light weapons get no damage bonus, and any other case gets a x2 damage bonus. - Weapon Focus, Weapon Finesse, and other skills that rely upon a weapon proficiency will now recognize new weapon proficiencies you pick up when you multi-class into another class. - Rapid Reload and any other feats (are there any?) that rely upon having a crossbow proficiency are now selectable when you multi-class into any other class than a druid. Druid/fighters rejoice! - Haste now provides an enhancement bonus of min (30, target's base speed) to movement. This means that it will not stack with Monk's Fast Movement, but will stack with Barbarian's Fast Movement. Furthermore, it will no longer cap movement at 2 x base speed. Note that it's the barbarian's base speed unmodified by Fast Movement that's used. Hasted dwarven barbarians move at 50. - You can now use a higher level spell slot to memorize a spell. Go 20+ magic missiles! - The left side of the spell book should now go up to spell level nine. Not that there are any level nine spells for you to know. Heck, I don't think there's even a Chain Lightning scroll. - Level 5 metamagic feats will no longer be added to the end of the list (down by level 9 spells). - Deleteing meta-magiced spells should no longer be as screwy.

CO8 2.0.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Toshi's Katana Mod v1.0 - Summary of changes: damage adjusted to 1d10 /19-20x2; damage used is v3.5 standard as per the DMG; katana now uses Exotic Weapon Proficiency to mirror rules listed in 3.5 DMG; one handed or two-handed wielding style available; mod test up to 6th level - enchantment and customization of the katana with craft skills appears to remain unchanged and is working as intended. Katana rules description: the katana damage has been adjusted to the damage and critical range values listed in the 3.5 DMG.

Bastard sword proficiency was used as it was the closest approximation to the katana sword in the available list of proficiencies. - Mona's Orb quest fixed. - Brothel dialogue/Mona quest fixes: stops Mickey from running off, more points in Mona's dialog to go into brothel, and no teleport after using services. - Burning Hands is now an evocation spell (as opposed to transmutation previously). - Item crafting: spells which require Fox's Cunning now function as they should. - The blacksmith now has a 75% chance of selling a full helm and a katana. - Sorcerers now start with red clothes as opposed to green.

You will notice an improvement in your framerate and performance in the aforementioned areas. Combat areas are still the same for a variety of reasons, a couple of them being to retain the elements of surprise and adventure. It's just no fun knowing exactly where to expect combat situations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.
