So far the only place with more than one challenge is Ravenshore. Or are there more?
There is one in Tatalia, but I haven't found one in Garrote Gorge. To my knowledge, Ravenshore is the only place with two pedestals.
Thanks! I will keep looking.

UPD: found it. Just knowing that it exists is a big boost of attention.

Expert Perception door in Superior Temple of Baa cannot be opened by characters with Expert Perception.

The Podium states you need Expert Perception:

Character 1 (no Perception skill) gets damaged while Character 2 (the one with Expert Perception) is highlighted to open the door:

In vanilla different doors had different perception requirements. With 4 expert perception you could open vast majority of the doors, and that was more than enough to complete the quest. but in order to open all the doors you needed 8 master perception. In the picture you are standing at the door that AFAIR has the highest perception requirements.

UPD: However, I think only the door opening character should get the damage.

UPD2: I submitted the issue on your behalf. https://gitlab.com/templayer/mmmerge/-/issues/565

you dont need go through the doors to get the baa-bonus.
it suffices if you do the spiral, then talk to head 1-4 and go to the big head in the main room for xp(i think it was that and a reward in the char-section)

Not every Master Perception door is blocking off unique content - I believe most of the Master doors just open shortcuts.

That's true. AFAIR with expert perception you can explore entire temple.

Hi,

Is weapon wielding limitation implemented?
Or am I wrong.
e.g. with Goblin only sword on Troll:

How can you select the button for your followers / hirelings? The button on your bottom-right screen just over the map?

I've seen a clip, and it can be done, the mouse cursor can move independently from the camera. As it stands right now, my mouse cursor is fixed / centered on the screen and cannot move independently from the camera. There is no way i can select the Hirelings button, or any other HUD element on the screen. I select my characters with TAB or the numeric keys. A key to select my Hirelings, will also be good enough, but i don't know any.

You did an awesome job with this merge. MM7 is my favorite game from this entire franchise and the first RPG i ever played, back in the 90's.

This said, MMX-Legacy it is very good / fun to play. The number of party-combos that you can achieve is superior to any of the previous MM titles, and you will always have a different role-playing experience. Also MMX, beats the other titles, on the implementation of skills and spells, which is the core-base of these type of RPGs. Where the game fails, it is way too easy (once you got the hang of it, and that on the highest difficulty) and way too short. It will be a shame for MMX to be the last title of this series. If you didn't play it, please give it a shot.

Mostly sprites used in the game. What are these "fixed versions of swamp trees"? The "Missing and fixed nature and landscape" folder just includes all the foliage.

Currently, in MMMerge, swamp trees (as seen in Mire of the Damned) look like disgusting green glitchy mess, like a color palette wasn´t right for them. Those, I´ve found in MM7 .lod files and seem to be "leftover sprites" from MM6 to me. "Missing and fixed nature and landscape" folder contains landscape elements, including those swamp trees, as they look like in base MM6 (since I pulled them from MM6 .lod files) and in them, they look much nicer/cleaner/appropriate, like they´re certainly intended to look like if you ask me.

<snip>
Most of the doors only require perception level 4 (iirc you don't even need be an expert). Only one door requires master level 8 instead. However, that door can be skipped: it only leads to a hallway that you can get to from most of the other doors as well.
That's the normal behaviour. So if that's how it works for you, it's not a bug.

You'd think Darkmoor was a ghost town, but instead there's plenty of life among the dead.

You guys seem to be misunderstanding me, mine was not a "help me I cannot progress" post, it was a "there's a contradiction that should be fixed" post. If you check the second screenshot's (Character 1 taking damage) minimap and you'll see I already traversed thorugh the dungeon above the locked door through a different path.

If that door has the highest perception requirements, and if it's not a bug, then it's the Podium text (first screenshot) that should be changed from "Expert Perception" to "Master Perception" to avoid confusion.

There's also the bug of the first character taking damage while the second is highlighted, which at least andrey acknowledged, thank you for submitting that issue!

Hm... Most doors require expert or even lower, few require master, for one (AFAIR) door even master is not enough. Perhaps, it is better to say something vague like "High Perception" or just "Perception".

Another option is to add explanation message when the character gets damage. Like "Perception is not high enough", but more in the style of Baa temple podiums.
