Incline Icewind Dale in TToEE Engine Total Conversion - Prologue Demo Released

[Allyx]

Well, the Demo is uploaded, you can find a link to download it in this thread.

You will need to have BOTH The Temple of Elemental Evil, and Icewind Dale installed, and use the TFE-X (Temple Front end) application (found in the Co8 patch for ToEE) to activate the Icewind Dale Demo.

Please provide feedback, and bug reports in the thread linked above.

A bit more descriptive instructions wouldn't hurt.

Spent a while figuring out where to put the IWD mod files so that the Front-End X would recognize it. Never used mods for TOEE.

After it says "activation complete", clicking on "ok" doesn't do anything... The FEX hangs. https://i.gyazo.com/5e7f001d856d5c8740cf45b81d7168ea.png

After killing it, when I relaunch the FEX it says the Co8 mod is active again... Should I just reinstall the whole game and the mod again?

Upd: Activated it again. It asked for chtin.key this time. It didn't do it the first time around. Activation went smooth, however it resulted it some problem: https://i.gyazo.com/8caa343465ca7caa90a20f829b609530.png

This is really exciting! If anyone tries this out, would you be willing to post some screenshots in this thread?

Reinstalled the game, then the co8 mod pack. First attempt to activate the mod leads to a hang. Then you kill the process and try again, it asks for chtin.key this time. Activation goes through.

Started new game. I don't know if it's me, but when the game starts, I'm in this area and I can't exit it https://i.gyazo.com/e4b0a46df9b72a4b99725f3fde9d7b0a.jpg

I tried resting. Doesn't work.

Also, a bit unrelated question, didn't ToEE used to have highlight on Tab? Or maybe it didn't, but then how do I highlight stuff?

 

[Allyx]

Are you stuck on the shopmap? Once you purchase your starting equipment from the chests in that area, there is a portal just to the right of the spot you start in (looks like the ToEE icon) click the ToEE icon and a dialogue will give you the option to advance to Easthaven.

Tab will highlight most interactive items, though there are a few exceptions in this mod.

It works fine for me. I just started the orcs cave and stopped, I'll finish tomorrow. Real impressive job so far, everything went fine, great attention to details (like the original cursors) and the joy of playing one of my all-time favourite dungeon crawl with proper tactical combat.


Huge brofist man !

If you don't run out of steam and actually finish this, you could become the stuff of legends, bards would sing your name and there would be much rejoicing.

Some screens :

Dead wolves outside the orcs cave.

Expedition talk.

Squirrel pokers.

Orcs fight.

Level up !

I haven't played ToEE in a while, the character models look kinda crappy. Is it because of the gear? I've started a playthrough of the original IWD recently and the IE models look much better, probably because the gear adapts to the original colors of the character and each piece of gear doesn't have its own distinct model.

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

Yeah, I also replayed the original ID just a couple of days ago and I thought the same thing while playing this. As nice as the ToEE engine may be, the characters sprites do look a bit subpar in the old IE environment.

 

[Mustawd]

What? I think you guys are nuts.

[ghostdog]

It's the gear mostly. It's like in NWN2 where each piece had its distinct textures and colors and the result looked kinda goofy. It's not that bad though.

Probably it's also the fact that you see them in IWDs maps, in ToEE I hadn't really noticed it.

 

[FeelTheRads]

They do look crappy, because they're 3d models made of like 10 polygons rather than actual sprites.

Wand of summoning spam was BG, not IWD. You should be doing your own tanking in this thread.

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

Okay I finished the demo. The game crashes right after the avalanche movie, when you should get to Kuldahar's pass but I guess it's supposed to.
Fucking quality product Allyx, so far it's a flawless victory. Now make this a fatality by finishing it.


More screens :

That fucking shaman won't go down.

Good armour, no wonder he was so tough.

Now, that was satisfying ! Cleave rules.

Fan, prepare to meet shit.

Told ya.

Our heroes eagerly await the next chapter.

 

[Allyx]

It's actually not supposed to crash at that point, Kuldahar Pass is complete as well. I am currently trying to fix the crash issue, I will be posting a fix for this issue as soon as I have fixed it.

 

[Grunker]

THIS LOOKS FUCKING AMAZEBALLS OMG

Why am I playing through the NWN2 mod? That shit is scrapped

[Melcar]

Hopefully it also works in Wine. Can't wait to load it up over the weekend.

 

[Mustawd]

Playing this as soon as I get home.

 

[BlackGoat]

Getting a crash trying to leave the first tavern when I use Temple+. Works fine if I don't use T+

 

[Allyx]

I have now uploaded a patch to fix the crash issue upon leaving Easthaven.

You can find it in this thread.

Thank you for your patience.

 

[mondblut]

Great effort. I hope we'll see the finished effort one day.

 

[Allyx]

Hmm, it works, but from the looks of those screenshots, those Orc Shaman aren't working correctly, there'll be another patch soon to fix them. Those Shaman should have a much better AI than they appear to have had.
