The Heroes Round Table

In Echo's mod the genie was just cosmetic -- not an actual race.

Thanks for doing this! I loved her re-tex jobs for MM7, and have lamented their loss for MM8/Merge.

I have made Echo's Monstrosity compatible with Rodril's MM678 merge. . The Merge Compatible version of Echo's Modling on the Nexus is missing some water textures for MM6 and MM7. I suspect it has to do with Greyface's patches now including native HD. In bitmaps.lod, the Merge has HD water textures ...

Ah, good. Purpose-built tools are even better

I replied in your dedicated thread

I don't know if there's a console command that causes a respawn, but there is another way. You can edit the game files for each region to have whatever respawn time you wish, from upon first re-entry (0 days), to 10+years (3,650+ days) First, you'll want to install Greyface's MM Extension. It's one ...

Mod finished! See top post for details

MM7 Refilled for Merge is now complete! It is a mod designed for the MM678 Merge, and is intended for players who wish to bring the MM7 component of their Merge playthrough up to the same level as Echo's MM8 Monstrosity Modling. Ideally, players will use both mods, but it's not required. You can fin...

Here's the link to Echo's Modling on CH: https://www.celestialheavens.com/forum/10/16079 If you use Echo's Modling with the Merge, you'll want to us this one, made Merge compatible by DavidHer https://www.nexusmods.com/mightandmagicviii/mods/2 The original version of the Modling had graphical glitch...

Hi Vauth516 I can certainly release something lite as a demo. Since this is going to be Merge exclusive, now, I'll do that with my restart, here in a little bit. I'll upload the map files for EI, the Abandoned Temple of the Moon, and Harmondale, and folks can inject them into their mm7.games.lod fil...

Also, if you want a more challenging MM8, try Echo's Modling. If you want a more challenging MM7, stay tuned for mine -- coming soon. More monsters, tougher monsters, and in more locations (with more rewards for your trouble).

It honestly does require a change in mindset. As long as you play with the idea of exploiting every angle, you'll succeed in doing so. I prefer to play with a mindset of self sufficiency. I also don't use the ore traders to acquire advanced weapons and armor, as I'd rather find those things as treas...

I finished all the areas, and started testing on MM7. Early on, I tested one of my maps within the Merge. I discovered that all of the names for the MM7 items and creatures were changed when brought into the merge. That meant an instant crash when loading one of my maps made within vanilla MM7. So, ...

Finished the rest of the outdoor areas: Avlee, Evenmorn Islands, Nighon, Eofol, and the Shoals. Points of particular interest: In Nighon, one of the locals has stumbled upon some lost technology and has been experimenting with it in seclusion. In the Shoals, we will finally solve the grand mystery o...

Wrapped up the Barrow Downs, Bracada, Deyja, and Tatalia, as well as the White Cliff Caves, Tularean Caves, Fort Riverstride, the Bandit Cave, and both Castles Navan and Gryphonheart. All that open space in the Tularean Caves is now occupied by more than just wyverns. The backdoor into Castle Navan ...

Thanks for the help, but I'm going to avoid scripting. If at all possible, I want this to be nothing more than a replacement Games.LOD (or mm7.games.LOD).

Wow! Sounds like some great changes to the music. I'll look forward to redownloading when it comes online. I just started listening to the Barrow Downs Aria (I think?) and I love the 2nd movement. It has a very gothic and baroque feel -- interspersing harpsichord with strong orchestral bursts. It so...

Cool idea, but unfortunately well beyond my capabilities. I'm sure something like that could be done with LUA scripting, but I'm not a coder. I'm mostly just placing objects with MMEdit.

Finished Erathia and Tularean Forest. Of note: Fort Riverstride has become very paranoid about elvish attacks, and for good reason. In the middle of constant skirmishes, you may find both sides unconcerned about the difference between their mortal foes and innocent travelers. Clanker's Lab no longer...

I've been listening to your new soundtracks as I've been working on my mod. It's a vast improvement. Very well done! This has a permanent spot in my Merge

Thanks for the ideas! We are thinking on similar wavelengths. I just finished work on Harmondale, as well as Emerald Island and the Temple of the Moon (EI version). On Emerald Island, there are now more ne'er-do-well contestants than just your party and Brent Filliant's group, and NONE of them are a...
