The Heroes Round Table

Might and Magic 6 (though now that I know 7 does that I'll have to put together a solution for the eventual MM7 version of Monster Randomizer Lua)

Well yeah I'm doing that; the full function is function applyAdaptiveMonsterOverrides(monsterID, monsterArray, adaptive_level) genericForm = Game.MonstersTxt[monsterArray["Id"]] oldLevel = math.max(genericForm["Level"],1) offset = calculateTierLevelOffset(genericForm) newLevel = ...

One thing that we want to add to Skill Emphasis (and by extension my lua-based Monster Randomizer) is adaptive monster stats; we're doing this on-the-fly by iterating across every monster on the map. We have HP/AC/Damage/Level working, and presumably treasure is working as well (I need to sit down a...

I believe this is vanilla behavior as well? It only happens if the monster dropped an item treasure. It's only "infinite" if you save-scum the results, the corpse will eventually run out of item treasure.

It's... actually easier to just double every monster's EXP, since that can be done with a simple iterative pass over MonstersTxt after GameInitialized2 (we do something similar with Skill Emphasis, only with 1.09x instead of 2x). function events.GameInitialized2() for monsterID = 1, Game.MonstersTxt...

Just to be clear - 30 milliseconds is 33 attacks per second. Why, precisely, are we trying to get that even lower?

In terms of professionally published works: I was making my way through the Magic Kingdom of Landover series for the past month (I've got the first three books in an omnibus), and now I've moved back to an old favorite of mine: The Hobbit. In terms of amateur works and fanfiction: I've been on a Per...

The big reason MM6 is so easy is because we've analyzed it to death (and also because NWC had to balance the late game with the assumption that the player was only doing the core quests - vanilla The Hive can and should be beatable at level 49 but if you Do Everything then you're level 62 at minimum...

I didn't realize that Clash of Heroes was so late in the timeline relative to the other Stories of Ashan. I knew it was meant to be prequel to H5, but I assumed that 6 and 7 were naturally after 5.

Got a new one for y'all I'm trying to implement a "fully" random monsters mode in lua (the extant randomizer is limited to only swapping monster sets around, while this project is not - you could get High Kreegan and Rats in the same map with mine); I have it working, but it's vulnerable t...

Thank you but I started with VI and Alvar location is in VIII... how can I get there? places of high magic (they are somewhere listed in this thread) with a gm watermage and townportal Is there a way to travel between the 6/7/8 worlds without Town Portal? I just downloaded the mod and started playi...

There are many name collisions between the keys - are you sure you grabbed the Dwarven Jail Key and not the Tsantsa Jail Key? They're both called "Cell Key" by default.

MM6 again. If I want to have the characters regenerate an additional 1 SP per tick regardless of other factors, how would I do that? I looked at how MMMerge does it but the event they hook into isn't actually listed in the online MMExt reference manual, and just copying the code outright does nothin...

wall o' text We're working on a bunch of balance branches and trying to finalize the tech. There's actually been a bunch of versions minor that haven't been pushed to tnevolin's github (mostly because we're all still arguing over what should be where). Please note that some of the below information...

is the code for this portable to other projects? Merge Redone and a presently-hypothetical Level 255 Mod for MM6 both could use it.

I believe that would be "a distinction without a difference," as after fulfilling the former requirement the player will not immediately think "hey, let's head back to Dagger Wound Islands real quick" but would instead continue onward and fulfill their other plot-mandated obligat...

Because you started in Enroth, I would strongly advise taking the time to get GM Water Magic first (if only for the conveniences of perfect Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon). Only the Enroth High Magic Spots are free and clear of monsters; all the others have something you need to clear out first: Era...

Hello, I am sorry for this question but I was searching for answer without any luck... I started playing merge from MaM VI and finished story and I wanted to continue with VII but I dont really know how to progress with time travel quest... I need Infused metal rod, but I dont know where to get it....

Is it just me, or are Cold and Elec resistances getting switched around? Using MMExt if that makes a difference; dumping Game.MonstersTxt[50] shows "{\ [\"\"] = 0,\ AIType = 0,\ ArmorClass = 12,\ Attack1 = {\ DamageAdd = 0,\ DamageDiceCount = 5,\ DamageDiceSides = 6,\ Missile = 4,\ Ty...

Issue 1: Was that an MM7 Greater Vampire or an MM8 Greater Vampire? It sounds like their attack logic wasn't correctly upgraded to handle a five-person party. Your workaround is going to create subtle bugs elsewhere since that's a change to the underlying MMExtension (and therefore the entire lua br...
