The Heroes Round Table

For me it turned out that portals are too big of a deal for almost nothing. I mean the performance doesn't seem to drop too badly, probably unless going for a really huge map and automap being revealed right away is alright. So the object mode seems fine as for now. I have made a small sample map us...

As it stands for now, rooms generation is a problematic step in any workflow, you also need to create portals at the same time. Quake does use portals and rooms, so I wonder if output from its BSP generation step could be used. Will it be sufficient to just mark all room entrances with box shapes t...

What does it mean for MMEditor? Trenchbroom exports objects as a set of segments / brushes. That means that room import will not work since every wall will be considered a separate room. It also makes it difficult to move complex objects after import. Merging things together using some software as ...

The new .mtl feature works great! Vertical offsets I was exploring on how the game interprets vertical texture offsets and I am trying to figure out this behavior: https://i.imgur.com/g0eCs8Y.png Can it be limitation of the engine or it's just 2 engines interpreting offsets in a different way? Befor...

Hello! There is now a guide on how to use Trenchbroom to make geometry for Might and Magic maps. There are some possible enhancements on the side of MMEditor which will make the process more streamlined. It would be really nice if those tools could work together smoothly. https://mm6.wiki/w/Making_M...

Testing!

Guess we found a good place where to start building up a stack of guidelines for modding M&M games: https://mm6.wiki/w/Main_Page Anerag , who posted here earlier is one of the maintainers, there is also a discord server where you can find other people who contribute and keep the wiki. We talked ...

Will it work with Rodril's optional switchable inventory grid modification? It's at the very end of the tracker. https://i.imgur.com/XNWmmUK.png Not really I think. Not until there is a way to use transparency with buttons. By the way that UI preset from 7 (Game.LoadUI(2)) has altered positions for...

Do you guys want a very short and basic tutorial on how to create graphics/textures for MM in Photoshop? How to save with transparency or prepare texture sets with single palette. I still kind of remember how to do that, I could whip out some short explanation for other bravehearts out there but I ...

Another little update: — more custom buttons — a couple of changes to the sidebar, mostly regarding the layout — a prototype of the auto-notes screen and a couple of little fixes as usual https://i.imgur.com/geJXYag.png https://i.imgur.com/rgeDEmV.png more screenshots here Download v0.61 This releas...

upscaling is not a problem i have tested 4 programs, only need simple way to test ingame you can use nvidia onlibe service for upscaling https://developer.nvidia.com/gwmt I tried real quick importing custom x4 bitmaps and yeah the game won't fill the surfaces but render the texture in full size whi...

As far as i know MMArchive converts .bmp images to indexed format, but it's algorythm is not that good as specialized software is. So all images are indexed, there is no special universal pallete. Oh good to know. The auto indexing is very handy for testing new things. By the way thanks a lot of em...

Also many years back ive edited a lot for mm6, as i remember there was palette restriction in place can i do them any color depth any format now?(mm8 engine better blah blah) I've been editing UI for quite a while now. It is interesting how MM8 works with that, even the vanilla version. It'd be coo...

A few things regarding UI and how it works in VIII Honestly adding new themes is pretty tricky at the moment and I'd say restrictive. There are 2 main things that make it harder than it should be: 1. The textures that are allowed to have transparency are hardcoded. Which is mind blowing even for the...

Quick update(s), removed some of the UI elements such as Yes/No buttons for conversations and entering/exiting locations (the link is still the same (v0.52 is the new one). At the moment I've got no solution on how to make them look good and they almost have no real use in the game, since space/esca...

A little update of the UI: Top bar, bottom bar corrections, updated the rest screen. https://i.imgur.com/jMgPVV1.png https://i.imgur.com/3cVojds.png https://i.imgur.com/IGroI3M.png 2 more screenshots Download v0.52 04.03.19 To install add files from "Icons" folder to Icons.lod and from &qu...

Interesting idea, I might try something like that, the top bar honestly is probably the most tricky thing to figure out right now. At first I wanted to completely get rid of these buff indicators, now I find them kind of interesting, but still the ones from 6 or 7 are probably much more simple and i...
