LP: Preview of Co8 5.6 + LP Co8 5.8

You might want to check the Co8 forum, I think I read somewhere that you can get around this by reinstalling patch 2, or even patch 1 then 2, over the third.

But installing Co8 over patch 3 shouldn't be good for compatibility.

Speaking of engines, some dude is trying to recreate the ToEE engine:

The graphical engine is already progressing nicely (see Youtube links in linked thread). He's considering going opensource atm.

It'd be great if programmer types could help - imagine ToEE without general FUBAR syndrome, and easily implemented new features...

Or Iron Tower Studios using such an engine for their future games.

You know, if it stays open source it could be awesome. Imagine the types of projects that can be started. Sure, most of them will probably suck or die out before they get to the intermediate stages, but at least a good engine would be available as a solid foundation. And with it being open source, it would only be a matter of time until some Linux guy starts porting resources; God knows there is a dire need for good RPGs in the Linux world.

Talk to someone nearby who might have knowledge about what goes on around the town at night.

You probably talked to the right person already, you just need to talk to him twice to get the dialogue node (hint: there are multiple instances of said person, you have to talk to the same one). No skill checks involved btw.

If you're still stumped:

Replicated it.

Seems to be related to day/night transfers. (and it seems to happen even if you don't speak with him at all)
If you pass time inside a building or somewhere away from the construction site it should be ok, at least from what I've seen.

Yeah, that was an issue I'd seen before at the labor camp that I believe predates the Jayfie mod. Pass time somewhere else and you should be okay.

I don't think it quite qualifies as an expansion, as in 'new game;' it's just our pre-existing new content (mostly) all moved to the end of the game (post-Zuggtmoy).

From what I understand, KotB is progressing nicely. Shiningted stated some time ago that he expects a release of the full game in 2009. I'm not sure if he's still on track for that or not.

Pass time somewhere other than the labor camp, then go see him at the labor camp at night. Just FYI, due to the way ToEE handles day/night transitions, in order to find him at the labor camp at night after exiting some other building, you'll first have to look at the construction site, not find him there, and then look at the labor camp. If you go to the labor camp first, he (and all the other laborers) won't be there.

That's odd. If you pass time till evening, it should work.

If you type game.is_daytime() in the console, it should return 0. (i.e. at night).

You have to 'think outside the box,' as they say. Try it with a female character.

In this context, a 'con' is a 'confidence man,' e.g., 'con man,' e.g. someone who tricks other people to his profit/advantage. Jayfie himself is a con man, hence he's not interested in you infringing on his territory with cons of your own. He's also a male chauvenist and a womanizer though, so he'd be more inclined to talk to a female on general principles and less inclined to think she was a threat.

AND THIS IS WHY COMPUTERS OWN OVER COMSPOLES IT IS MODS LIKE THIS. HAVE YOU HEARD OF A CONSOLETARD PLAYING A GAME TTHIS LONG AFTER THE COMPANY DIED??? COMPUTER GAMES ARE FOR LIFE DONT FROGET

I wish somebody made a normal fix pack for ToEE without all that shitty fan-made, fanfic level stuff. Not to mention all those ridiculous balance changes.

To this day the most gorgeous shite I've seen.

Yeah, in the future you'll only have to tallk to the badger once. Thanks for the feedback.
