Eye of the Beholder Updated! - Aug 18 2021

[Dark]

Hi everyone,

Update: Aug 18, 2021

The Steam updated versions are now available to download.

Update: Aug 13, 2021

I've sent out two new versions of the mods today. they should show up in the downloads tab under manage within steam in NWN: EE Hopefully today sometime or later in the week. Look for the new versions below. The Vault versions updates are already uploaded as separate downloads.

Eye of the Beholder v5.4
Eye of the Beholder - Legend of Darkmoon v2.2

You should delete the older version of the mod, if you are going to use the newest version. but this will require you to start a new game, because the modules are linked to the save game.

Really sorry about the Mark of Darkmoon issue, this came up much later, and was something that the New Enhanced Edition broke and did not like how the script was formatted.

EOB 2 we fixed an issues that came up wit the Mark of Darkmoon not being given that's now fixed. if you don't want to start over, please use these commands to give you the Mark of Darkmoon.

Open the console with the tild key ~ and type this. It will show up at the top left, it may be a bit hard to see once the console is open.

1. DebugMode 1

2. Now type dm_spawnitem markofdarkmoon and hit enter

3. A bag that is the Mark of Darkmoon will spawn where the mouse pointer location is at on the screen.

EOB updated, this one has just some minor dialog fixes and info pop ups on certain creatures that were not correct.

But, the biggest fix for this one is, we fixed the pressure plays on the Azure Tower that was requiring 40 lbs of weight to be placed on a pressure plate. that's now been changed to 3 lbs. About the equivalent of a sword. I also added a new dialog that lets you know if the weight is good or not enough.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Older Version

Eye of the Beholder v5.3
Eye of the Beholder - Legend of Darkmoon v2.1

You should delete the older version of the mod, if you are going to use the newest version. but this will require you to start a new game, because the modules are linked to the save game.

We made a lot of changes to the mods over the past three weeks, we re-scripted the final Dran fight, its a very dynamic fight now. I wont give away what it does, but its very cool now how the fight progresses. We also fixed all of the Cut Scenes, there as a nasty little bug that the Enhanced Edition was causing that had your henchmen in the cut scenes. That's now been fixed.

We, also added a bunch of new things and cleaned up some of the dialog grammar and fixed some of the encounters in the game, along with many other small issues.
Also added a bunch of new dialog popups to help the player find or spot certain things in the game now.

We recommend starting a new game if you currently already have a game in progress. This is to reduce any compatibility issues that can occur with version mismatches.

Let us know what you think, we like getting feedback and it helps us to determine what is good or bad about the mods that you guys like or don't like.

Thanks all,

Dark

Second part of the map, bottom left I believe, the Evil Ghost you encountered when you came into the level is there guarding a chest that has the stone.

but, just south of that room, is another room where a chest is at the has the ghoul key to open that door. you must have missed this area.

Let me know if you find it.

Thanks much

I only got it 1 day ago so I think I am good. As I said the version numbers match and it was definitely a later file than we had started previously. The download was packaged differently too. So unless you have updated the vault twice in the last 9 days I cannot see how it is not the new one. Is there something else ingame we could use to verify it?

Have fun :)

Edit: We played some this evening too and no issues, no spelling, no bugs, no problems at all. I think you might have just missed one spelling in your update, no?A pain, I understand , but cannot see how it is not the new file given I downloaded it yesterday. Just redownloaded it and it is exactly the same now as it was yesterday.

If you are where I think you are , you need to cleanse the corrupted pool to get the ancient stone that opens a door. That needs an artifcat you can find in the ancient dungeon. Golem key has me at a loss I am afraid but we play tomorrow so maybe one of my group will remember and be able to help. If so I will point them here.

Have fun :)

BTW

How is it solo starting at lvl 2? We are a party of 4 and it works ok. I would imagine solo tho would be quite difficult, no?

@Dark: Did you find a way to do good balancing depending on numbers of players?

Have fun :)

[grognardgary]

Good enough likely the golem key is behinc the door that requires the ancient stone

[grognardgary]

Well thats irritating. Apparently I Have no way to cleanse the corrupt pool. I've hit it with 3 or for holywater Tried dropping a bless potion in it tried putting holy water and bless in it all to no avail. Apparently you need a cleric

No, you have to place the Ancient Stone in the pool, its the only way to cleanse it,. you really didn't think we were going to let you keep that powerful healing artifact now did ya? :)

I'm pretty sure we went over this with the beholder chat, and in the game there should be a note or something that does explain this, I think from the paladin.

Hi Shia, yes, the more players there are. the more that the Encounter Triggers will spawn at you. but it is limited to. Usually we set them to around 2 to 4 or some to 6 and the size and level of the party will determine how many it spawns. and the CR levels it will spawn too.

but I am all eras if you guys think they encounters are to easy. please let me know, I like seeign when there are 3 to 4 players i na party and hearing what the difuculty is like.

[grognardgary]

So now I am back hunting the stone which I figured to lose when I opened the door that requires it anyway. Sorry I misunderstood what you said. Oh wait whats the artifact I may already have it and not know it. I've got so much stuff I can't Identify its insane,

Well I feel like a dolt. I simply finally located a door I walked by about 10 times at a minimum and there was some undead and wererats killed them and acquired the golem key. That led to the evil ghost and and his buds and the healing stone, which looks a lot the fairy dust in HOTU, which in turn leads back to the corrupted pool and now back to what I assume to be the way to level four where hopefully I can get all this crap identified and sell off what I don't want and buy some better stuff and add a sorceror or wizard and a cleric to my party

Well, glad you found the Stone. Are you not finding the red potions of lore? I know there are plenty to be found... you use those to identify items that are above your level.

Also, I know there is a ring of lore in the game that you should have found by now too.

Use a potion, but make sure you have all the times in the same spot, then right click, identify each, but do this quickly, the lore potions don't last that long. I didn't set the time on those, this is built in.

Also, when I make my chars, ?I always put points into lore. always!!

The time limit can actually be circumvented in single player by pressing the Pause button. ;) Identifying items in your inventory works even when time stands still.

[grognardgary]

And no soloing it hasn't been really difficult but you do need to be very careful tactically and conserve healing potions whenever possible. IE rest after fights when you can rather than using potions. Note dof regens and can damage stuff normally only hit by magic weapons

Being unusually dense today or missing the necessary background info. What does the phrase match four of what you nave the most with their like. Mean and how do I get that dagger off the table, Assuming at the moment one has something to do with the other.

You don't, its there as reference, or just for looks.

There is an alcove with a dagger resting on top of it. Place 4 daggers inside the alcove to complete this Special Quest.
