I just finished MM7 with your patch and here's two more bugs:

1. The female peasants in emerald island, harmondale, bracada and tatalia are moving with 10x speed or something. Looks funny but it's also annoying.
2. The Glory Shield relic's "of spirit magic" property doesn't work. It's actually "of mind magic", dunno if the description is wrong or the item itself. However it's possible it's like this in vanilla MM7 also since it's the first time I found this shield.

Don't know if you're still working on this patch but anyway thanks.

That's weird. It won't let me download the patch. Did you take it down?

Very nice! Answers my music question... Though I liked the way inactive party members could use scrolls. Doesn't make too much sense, but useful... Are scrolls cast at the same level, no matter who is casting them, or does it matter? I know that high level spells will fail if non-spellcasters use it, but what about level 1 scrolls?

GreatEmerald · Round Table Hero

Tried it out, and it's very nice. There are only a few small issues:
1. The menu music doesn't loop, even if the game music is set to loop (0).
2. Not sure if it's related to the patch or not, but in turn based combat, if there are no enemies around and you fire arrows, Danger Sense indicators don't turn grey - they stay green, even though players are inactive (I can see it by using scrolls on them).
3. General MM7 bug - "Show hits" option does nothing. Hits are always not shown, at least for me (hardware support).
4. Another general MM7 bug - the way hardware support handles tinting. With hardware support and no tinting, all units look exactly the same. With hardware support and tinting, different upgrade units have a different colour painted all over them. With software rendering (there is no tinting option there), different upgrade units have only parts of them with different colour, which makes it a lot more realistic.
Another example - towns. With hardware support and any of the tinting options, you will see all human males wearing white, and all females wearing green. With software rendering, they all have diffent coloured clothes on, again, very realistic.

Ooh, that's good to know smile

When I think about it, it is actually even better to limit scrolls to active players, because in combat spellcasters are not as useful as other party members if they don't cast spells, and usually they don't to save SP, so if they use scrolls, they save their SP and don't waste the turn of other party members.

1. Obviously, because when it stops playing you hear nothing, which is never a good thing. All other games have looping menu music. Though there is so little to do in the menu that I guess nobody will ever notice smile_teeth

2. Oh, that's what... Hmm, selected units aren't quite "active", they are both active and selected. Other units who are active but not selected could also use scrolls...
3. No, that's not what Show Hits does. What you described is "Blood splats". Show Hits is intended to show a sprite blood splat for a second on the enemy, when you hit an enemy with an arrow or a weapon. You can see a good example of that in earlier MM games, notably World of XEEN.
4. Yay! As for big monsters, why don't you use the auto attack key (a)? It automatically selects the monster and hits with melee if in range or arrows if out of range.
