Question before installing:

This Merge has the original merge intercontinental quest + redone quests?

or just redone quests?

cheers!

It has all of the original merge content and a whole lot more.
There are three files that need to be installed. Make sure to install in the correct order. instructions are at the download site.
Also read the readme files for all three files.

The hot key for setting spell cast is "S". You will see 7 tabs on the left side when you open the spell book. The very bottom is to exit spell book. The next one up, is for setting a spell to the "S" key. The next one up, is for setting a spell to the "A". You must have set a spell for the "A". You have to undo that.

I think Rodril did it on purpose. To make it harder.

Hello! just installed this mod and it looks great. I am just wondering, I have found a lot of icons to be replaced (like spellbooks) which i do not prefer, as a lot of the old inventory items are nostalgic for me. I do not mind them being updated to be say, improved, HD or whatever, but completely different models is not what i am looking for. Does this mod completely change a lot of inventory item models (spell books, armour, weapons etc) ?

Thank you!

Also. Is it normal that the mouse look from original merge is disabled in this mod? I am having to look around with A and D keys, but i prefer the mouse look. Does anyone know how to get this back?

Always great to see people still working on these great games :) Thanks for all the good work.

This mod may not be for you, because it does change a lot of armor, sorry. The mouse can be activated in the MM8 Ini file.

Do you know if enchanting system from MM6 for powerfull enchantments is required? (MM6 need days of full moon for that)

Full moon is every month from 15th to 18th but dunno if MM7/8 require this because Merge is based on MM8 engine :oex:

Another question, is there something like MM6 CIRCUS in Erathia and/or Jedame?

About the enchantments: I really do not now. Maybe someone else can answer that question. About the Circus they only appear in the MM6 Part of the merge.

The original MM6 engine never varied Enchant Item power with time (only with skill), and I don't think Merge does either. Scholar NPCs occasionally do say that noon allows for stronger enchantments (although I don't remember anything about moon phases), but it's not actually true. (In vanilla, that is. I implemented the noon thing in my MM7 mod!) The only magical effect of noon is that at 12:00 sharp all Light spells cost 0 magic points to cast. (And the same is true for Dark spells and midnight.)

MM7 and MM8 part of the merge are exactly the same as the original with the extra stuff I add. So therefore, the answer is no.

hi,

have done a full playthrough now - i havent encountered anything else then the tower in deyja.
all other things seem to be related to the underlaying vanilla mod from rodril (nothing major or unfixable things)

thx for making this mod.

best regards,

It's just dummy item to be replaced, items.txt is full of those. If you actually received this key, that is a bug. Where did you get it?
Unfinished mod by me: MM7 Rev4 mod, MMMerge version.

Nah bro, I received this key from guy in Harmondale, from series of three quest, receive shield from noble plate, by using three amulet. The guys from Harmondale clearly state that this is the key to Emerald Island.
