Fan Made patch v1.1 fixes some ToEE issues

Some of you may have found that <a href="http://www.greyhawkgame.com">ToEE</a> had some pretty annoying bugs in it. Well, the good news is that a group of fans have gotten together to make a patch that fixes some of those. The minor issues, such as things not quite following strict D&D 3.5 Edition rules as well as some spells that out-right did not work, have now been fixed. Unfortunately, things like monsters stuck in walls and Paladins not quite dieing properly are not fixed. We'll have to wait for an official Troika patch to fix those.
<br>
<br>
In the meantime, here are just some of the things the fan made patch fixes:<ul>
<br>
<li>Mona's Orb Quest Fix
<br>
<li>All known Scroll bugs have been addressed (bugs preventing scribing, scribing at the wrong level, or didn't do what was advertised (Except Hold Portal. Don't ask us about Hold Portal, ask Troika, We can't fix it.) (All Hold Portal scrolls magically transformed into Grease. All references to Hold Portal removed for confusion sake).
<br>
<li>Fixed the damage problems with Flame Strike ... Now correctly does 1d6 * Spell Caster Level (1/2 Fire and 1/2 Divine Damage.)
<br>
<li>Improved chances of 'permanency' bug not ocurring with Silence, Web, Soften Earth & Stone and Spike Growth spells.
<br>
<li>Cure/Inflict line of spells was incorrectly calculating values. Was adding the caster level to the die size(i.e. lvl 5 cleric uses 1d13). Now correctly rolls and adds caster level.
<br>
<li>Numerous problems resolved with wands..(including the 10 lb wand bug, can't craft it, and wrong spell bugs).
<br>
<li>Brothel added (the Brothel was originally intended to be in the game, but was removed by Troika in order for ToEE to obtain a Teen rating.)
<br>
<li>Burning Hands is now an Evocation spell (as opposed to Transmutation previously).
<br>
<li>Item Crafting - Spells which require Fox's Cunning now function as they should.
<br>
<li>"Asian Hat" is now called a "Coolie Hat".
<br>
<li>Fogless Towns: This modification makes it so that all the exterior and interior areas in the towns of Hommlet and Nulb are removed of the incredibly annoying 'fog of war' effect. 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.</ul>
<br>
<br>
There's a lot more too. If you want the full list of all the fixes, read the threads <a href="http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=470">here</a> and <a href="http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=282">here</a>.

Thanks goes out to the folks at <a href="http://www.c08.org">Circle of Eight</a> for creating the patch.

 

I know this was primarily targeted towards DU, but as a member of the community I think that would be a good idea. After all, T-A has grown to not only include Arcanum, but rather the entire scope of Troikas games - and as such, we should keep patches and mods for all their available products, not Arcanum only.

Just my two öre...

 

Yes. As Dark Elf has already said, we need to have the stuff here ourselves. We've currently got approx 70 Mb of stuff sitting on the site, most of that being Arcanum screenshots (from it's development) and inaccessible because the pages are broken at the moment. Given that we are covering all the games now, we'll need content like that for everything. Probably have to check with our hosts or Calis as to what our Mb limit is though...

Yeah, that was a really long way of saying yes.

You can remove the Fan Made patch as easily as you install it. Without affecting save games I believe (Ausir, correct me if I'm wrong?). It's like ChrisBeddoes Hard Arcanum, you just put it in the right directories to install it, and to remove it, you just delete those directories. So uninstalling it when an official patch comes out shouldn't be a problem. Of course, an official patch won't have the brothel in it, so another fan made patch will have to be made to include that again.

 

Grand to see a fellow tabletopper . I've recently got into it myself. Great fun, really - we're mainly playing 3.5 and Drakar & Demoner (swedish system)

Well, enough of that blither and back to the topic:

Burning Hands is now an evokation spell, yes. I don't have the rulebooks, but I have the internet. However, a Transmuter ain't necessarily prohibited from doing some good old evoking - you see, you can choose what prohibited schools you wish nowadays.

Any fresh specialist wizard chooses two prohibited schools from the list (the exception is the Diviner, who only needs to choose one). So, if you want your Transmuter to blow things up, just don't take Evokation as one of your prohibited schools

Other than that, you could always conjure a summon or use some necromancy, like Chill Touch and Ray of Enfeeblement.
