The Heroes Round Table

I already changed monsters.txt, it is easily possible :) Nope, you didn't add new lines to it. Like I see it is simply impossible to change spells.txt spellcost, description is okay, but not the rest :( It can be changed in .exe. I haven't looked it up in MM6, but I will. Tell me when you need it. ...

There are 3 ways to do monsters sprites: 1) New sprite using the same palettes Works good only if your creature is colored in a similar way. 2) 1 new sprite, 3 new palettes This approach is used in original MM games. You are limited in actions, 'cause only palette can change between forms. This way ...

I'll definitely try it in MM6. I'm sure it won't be too hard.

Then this is the difference. I don't use wands and almost never use potions.

New and improved version of this is here: http://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm/mechanics Recovery Time is delay between your strikes. I'll describe how it is calculated in MM8. In MM7 it is probably the same. In MM6 it should differ in some aspects. The recovery time is a sum of factors described...

Blasters fit perfectly, but I prefer using normal weapons.

In MM8 temple donations ease things a lot in the beginning. Hidden chests with artifacts are of great help too. And don't forget chests in dragons' dungeons. Playing with a single knight I found the vampiric spear artifact in Revenshore hidden chest, so the game was easy. However, I cheated to cast ...

I like the idea. It can be added instead of some useless skill like Diplomacy. But to do so, the Diplomacy stuff should be completely removed. That is, if all NPCs on streets agree to join you. I can try it. The Armsmaster skill itself would be good without its Grand level. The 'double all effects' ...

Today I experienced a bug that may be similar. I chose "DirectSound3D Software Emulation" for Audio and the game didn't start even after I disabled audio acceleration. So, even if you choose to "Disable Accelerated 3D Audio", the value of ComboBox inside it still effects the game...

Poison Spray is the best. Each skill point adds 1.5*5 = 7.5 damage instead of 7 for Sparks. You don't have to stand too close to monster to make all streams hit him, unlike Sparks. Another nice thing is that 12 points in Water Magic are always gained ASAP to have good Town Portal.

Definetely MM6

mmtool is making a patch to change resolution in MM7. viewtopic.php?t=9873&start=15

No, the music will play only if the CD2 is inserted. I have a "Play MP3 instead of CD Audio" item in ToDo list, but I didn't try such things yet. And I'm happy with the existing thread about my patch, there's no need to create another one

I have version 1.0.0.1 and it's 1,163,264 bytes. I haven't decided which version I'll use for my patch - this or from Mok's patch.

I'll release a patch for MM7. It will be based on Mok's version. Later I'll do it for MM8 too. I'm also planning an extension of event language for MM6-8. So I don't want to depend on anything other than native game files. Any additional (external) code can be injected directly to .exe as new segmen...

Very nice. But I prefer software mode anyway due to monsters' colors.
I'm interested in HWL format. Looks like you know more about it. Can you share it please?

Another circus month:
April - Blackshire

You will get the prince back only on certain months in circuses. Until then you won't be able to promote. So, usually I don't talk with him about circus until it's the right month.

I remember my reputation lowering for unknown reason too. Don't know how it happens. As a guess, it may happen if the Fame isn't enough.

Sometimes when i start the game, it actually goes so far as to adapt the screen to the games resolution, but after that a Postmortem debugger window shows and the game crashes ;( Then open the debugger and do a screenshot there. Do a minidump if there's an option for it and send it to me. I'll try ...
