Oops, my bad. Didn't pay attention. YouTube videos look way cooler than the screenshots.

If you do, what is your preferred position - on the top in MM8 or near the minimap in MM6 and 7? To me it feels like something NWC just added to fill space.

They should. Set them to 2 for example.

ANOTHER MM project noone knows about! How did you find it? On Polish forums?

I like circles much more. Speaking of love, what I'm doing now will remove limitations for MM6 and MM7 interfaces. As a byproduct :) By the way, what are your plans for a Mac version? (the Merge is fully playable on Linux, there is a tutorial on the tracker for that) Wine is multi-platform. I guess ...

Oops. Had items.txt in DataFiles for some reason. As Rodril has tested, for some people when DropBox generates the zip file, it modifies the files that it can open as a text (a non-lossy compression), breaking scripts. We tried using various extractors (default Windows zip file implementation includ...

Installed the new update and got this error:
c:\Games\mm678\Scripts\Structs\RemoveItemsLimits.lua:1643: Wrong item index (1406 in 'Armors' at 37) in 'Complex item pictures.txt'.
(Last time I updated the Merge was on September 22)
[edit] Solved: I had old items.txt in DataFiles.

Also, technical issue. Every time I press F4, the game switches to windowed mode and crashes. Got any suggestions to fix that or is there a way to disable the F4 key completely? Send me the ErrorLog.txt. Bug: Touching the "Evil Altar" in the Monolith (Silver Cove) says it grants +5 Person...

There's a teleporter from New Sorpigal and back

Just a regular stretching with aspect ratio loss, both in the interface and 3D view (3D view remains HD-crisp though). Personally I use just a little bit of stretching: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qoa2633lptnsm ... 1.png?dl=0

I found the tool I had used in the past: http://mm6789.narod.ru/files/might_and_magic/hwl2bmp.rar Maybe I'll use HWL format after all. Though, I'll probably make a new LOD-based format instead (with HWL structures for individual files, but not for archive structure). Thinking about ways to support H...

BTW, it blows my mind a bit that there is (a little bit of) discussion about M&M in this sub-forum as well. Never thought it's anywhere besides the M&M sub-forum.

It's one of the standard ways to play.

MM7: Protection From Magic.
MM6: Killing them faster, reloading sometimes.

1. Place the file into DataFiles folder and edit it right there. When it's time to distribute, you'll place it into a custom LOD file created with File->Extract Selection As Archive in MMArchive.
2. It requires MMExtension. Once you run the game with it, skills would be in Data\Tables in 2 files.

Oh yes! Also, Lloyd pics wouldn't match actual beacons.

Erisian, I don't think there's any place for them besides the main menu anymore. Exception is MM6 and Software rendering modes in MM7 and MM8.

I was wrong, most screens would have whatever was in the view as their background. It would be partially faded. Now I'm not sure I actually need any pictures. Maybe for main menu. Anyway, here's roughly what I was going for: https://www.dropbox.com/s/psb3sn0jn933qxs/screenshot.563.png?dl=1
