Info about MM6, 7, 8 Mods

[Just-J]

Hello all

I'm new to the forums, and need some help in finding might and magic mods, I "have" looked, probably not hard enough, but some help in regard to locating MM6, 7, 8 mods would be appreciated... Or even an explanation of what certain mods modify, the order they must be installed and whether they make it a lot more fun to play.

Thank you to all who reply

As far as I know, there are two mods. Both can be found here on the forum.
Both mods are for MM7, it's the BDJ mod, which changes almost the whole game ( like 80% ), monster swaps, additional quests, that kind of stuff. And the Vladimir Meastro mod, also for MM7 (and made for the BDJ mod), this one adds some new graphics. They are really cool, you should check them out!

The version you can download here is MM7Rev4modF, which isn't the final version (you can't double-class your cleric into a paladin, for one thing). I've never been able to find the R1.

So, I second your question...is anyone hosting the R1 somewhere?

The final version is hosted here at CH

Edit: You can download from HERE

[tomchen1989]

thank u but... it is still the MM7Rev4modF, and Herry said that's not the final version... ok whatever, is the MM7Rev4mod entirely merged in the maestro's mod?

[vladimir-maestro]

yes and with final part of it.
BDJ upgrades some features and helps to do Maestro Quests.

Zedd told me several months back that R1 is the final version, but he didn't have it (he had already merged it into his game and so didn't have the actual download anymore).

Time to ask the source about which is the final version, I think. I just PM'ed Big Daddy Jim; if he replies, I'll post it here.

[Herry Hardfoot]

BDJ sent me this reply:

If my memory serves me well, and sometimes it doesn't, the ModF was the final 'official' release. I do recall changing the class-change matrix as a courtesy for some of the play testing group, but that 'version' was not made 'public'.


So, ModF is the final available version after all. My mistake.

I don't know where would e the best place to make suggestions for MM6-8 mods.

If someone could change all the games to allow travel by carriage or boat to anywhere they go, on any day of the week, I would really appreciate it. It's stupid to stand around for 3-4 days or more at a time now.

I would would be really nice if any race/class could learn any skill; BUT, the skill point cost would be higher.

So, for a mage to learn clerical spells it would cost an extra point per level and for combat skills, it cost 2, for example.

This would allow any race/class to really be customizable.

Is there a mod out there for MM8 that allows for resting/waiting right on the boat? I don't know why they took this away.

Good idea, I can do this.

It was the same in every MM game, MM6-8 at least. They don't allow resting on boat and I think it's too minor to bother with.

[Variol]

..6 and 7 definitely allowed for resting/waiting right on the boat, or dock. It would not matter too much, if the boat went everywhere everyday.

It would also make it much easier if the master teacher could also teach the expert skill and the GM teach could teach expert and master level. They obviously have to know it, right?

[tolich]

...master teacher could also teach the expert skill and the GM teach could teach expert and master level...

I think it is bad idea: of cause they know, but they wont teach you such simple things. It is like you go to professor of math to learn '2+2=4'.

Indeed. Funny, I got used to it being disallowed and didn't rest at the boat in MM6.

On the other hand, some masters trained their apprentices starting from their childhood. But the master should first be sure the student will be good enough, give some quest to him.

[Macros the Black]

Well, at least have some person in the tavern in every area who can tell you the travel schemes for stables and boats and what teachers can be found in the area.

[Variol]

..or, put a sign at the edge of the dock, with the schedule, which you can read.

...but everywhere, everyday is still the best.

[Macros the Black]

And teachers. They're more important than the travel schedule imo.. Waiting a week to catch a boat is alot less annoying than having to keep checking a list of teachers and where to find them.

[Variol]

..or maybe just do away with the teachers and have it done at the guilds, but only have those skills which would be found it that area.

[Macros the Black]

Not sure if people would like that though? I agree that you shouldn't be able to learn anything anywhere, so yeah only the skills you'd be able to learn there.. I wouldn't mind if it was like that, but it does kinda change the gameplay a bit.

[Variol]

I would also like to suggest that Liches and perhaps Vampires, are immune to the affects of drowning and that Liches be immune to the effects of weakness, particularly from lack of resting.

It would also be nice if weakness as a cause of lack of rest, was dependent on the characters endurance. So, the higher the endurance, the longer it takes for weakness from lack of rest to take effect. Right now it happens to each character at the same time.
