Have you tried looking in dwarves.icons.lod ? :D :D :D (yeap!)

That's where they are at my end. :)

Why don't you just try it out? Wouldn't that be faster? :D

You are right about every thing. :embarrased: There so many Lod file I just did not see it. :wall: In any case the belts of MM6 are finished. :D
What next?

@developers: Just a few random thoughts & questions.

1. MM6 dungeons were not designed for invisibility. Hard places (like Darkmoor) become a cakewalk. Should there be some prevention? E.g. liches & eyes randomly casting dispels even if noone is around, warlocks at Alamos and guardians in tomb of VARN also casting dispels, etc. Of course, you can leave it as it is, and people are free to not use invisibility for additional challenge.

2. Is there any description about how exactly bolster works? I saw some parts of it (like, modifiers for artifacts et al.), but is there any precise formula somewhere?

3. A few thoughts about solo play. I know the game is not designed for that, but original MM6-8 were perfectly soloable for any class, and some people like to play it that way.
3a. When tuning for endurance, Verdant renders a victim unconscious. For a single character you have to either accept a party kill, or take second character for a moment. Can she reduce health to 1 instead?
3b. As I know, at the end you will lose all your party members except one, and then you will have to find them (did not see that quest yet and will not see for a while, just saw forum messages). What will happen if you did not have party members (except for MM8 required ones, that you dismissed long ago)?
3c. What happens if you start at a continent w/o promotion quest for the class? Like, a druid or a thief in Jadame. I guess, it will take finding town portal scroll (or few, and they can still all fail), fighting through Murmurwoods and then travelling to Enroth or Antagarich for promotions. A single guaranteed dimension door scroll will make things much easier.
UPD: Just thought of gate master.

Gimme the results as pictures, make a package for GrayFace and me. I will add them to the Paint Tracker (and Implementation Queue). Finish the belts with MM7 ones. Check the tracker for what to do next.
There are some cloaks that haven't been repainted, that would be the next step. Check the Paint Tracker for which ones, as that is its purpose.

After that I if you were to go by complexity - circlets -> crowns -> caps -> helmets -> boots -> armours -> gloves and gauntlets (which when using Sower's script can be made visible on the paperdoll).

EDIT: When giving me pictures as results, make sure they conform to what is already on the tracker, i.e. the best is with a character wearing it, per each paperdoll type (the missing stuff has been put into paperdoll type headers on the tracker)
There are twenty belts and each and every belt has to be positioned on the paperdolls by putting x and y coordinates in the "complex.item.pictures.txt. That's going to take some time. It's a trial and error thing. I was going to start out by putting the existing coordinates of the belts from MM8. It should come close and trust me they will fit once they have been positioned on the paper dolls. :)I think GrayFace can do it faster with the editor? :D I can show you pictures of them as I worked on them with coreldraw. The names given to the belts should work. They have to have special names. I showed GrayFace the five names I gave to belt1 they are as follows: belt1b, belt1c, belt1d, belt1e, and belt1f and ask if they should work. I did not get answer.
Check the previous page, one of my posts there explains what b,c,d,e,and f mean. I will continue with the MM7 belts. :)
David
Well, you could still give me pictures of the various paperdolls wearing them so that I could put that on the Tracker, visually.
That means normal male, normal female, minotaur, troll, dwarf. Per belt.

I can put the coordinates into the "complex.item.pictures.txt" file if you don't mind waiting and then take screen shots of the papers in the game or (choice "B" which is faster) give you pictures of the work I done with coreldraw of the paperdolls wearing the belts?

Why additive? The skill can simply determine the skill of spell cast by the wand.

Holy crud, yeah, that is probably the way to go. :D
Why didn't I think of it before?

Anyway, I wanted to make the list of bugs to solve ASAP this weekend, but I instead spent it getting rid of viruses.
So I only have the top two at the moment! :D

The following appears to be a "table overflow" error with regard to the +hit statistic.

I have a character with grandmaster armsmaster skill of +28, a belt with +17 armsmaster, (made by using the enchant skill), Fleetfingers (artifact) +8 armsmaster, Wallace (artifact) +10 armsmaster. They all stack. Total of +63 armsmaster skill. All of these items are achievable without using cheat engine. With all of this plus my characters statistics, my +hit is +178. If I increase my armsmaster skill to +29, my +hit drops to +52 from +178. At least that is what my character screen is showing.

For comparison, In the original stand alone MM8, I was able to get +142 hit without cross-continent artifacts. My total armsmaster skill was 27 (no item boosts).

There are probably other possible such errors given the ability to combine artifacts, etc from 3 continents that were never intended.

I did not know that you could find the coordinates with gimp. Maybe the same can be done with coreldraw. I will look into that. No the names don't work, :( but I think i get it now. I studied Rodrid's video very closely and in it he talks about the postfixes images. :) Hopefully I can get those belts into the merge. I also studied the dwarf.icon.lod. v1 = man, v2 = woman, v3 = minotaur, v4 = troll, and v5 = dwarf. These letters and numbers go at the end of the name of the belts that's in the items.txt file. The name of the first belt is "belt1a" as it appears in items.txt. So the image that appears in the inventory will have "belt1av1" and the one that goes on the paperdolls will have "belt1av1a" and this is for the man's belt. The others are done in similar way. I have already done the names of first belt only to see if it will work. I placed the coordinates of the MM8 belts into the MM6 belts. It should be close. There will probably be adjustments to be made. But first I got to get this thing to work. When I placed the image on the paperdoll I would get a cyan square with a red circle with a red diagonal on the circle. :(

@GrayFace and Templayer'
I finally got belt number one of MM6 to work with the merge and no adjustments to coordinates were done. The coordinates from MM8 work fine for belt one. They will probably work fine for the rest of the belts. :-D :D :applause: I will have screenshots tomorrow.

Agree :-D
While it's tempting to think so due to the -er suffix, in fact "berserk" and "berserker" can serve as and in fact are the same word pretty much - they both come from Old Norse "berserkr", meaning "bear shirt" or "bear coat". The final "r" was a thing often added at the end of words in Old Norse and then dropped in its child languages. Therefore, "to go berserk" shouldn't be understood as "to fall into the state of berserk", because "berserk" is not a state, it's a person. "Berserker" is just an alternate form of the word :D

Anyway, glad to see this is picking up steam again. I haven't played in a while as I'd played tens of hours of this already and needed a bit of a break. But missing belts, armors and such always were the thing I was the most excited to see one day, so I'm happy someone picked it up at long last. Best of luck with that endeavor! A while ago I came up with modded stats for all the items with the integration in mind, so there's no redundancy and no items identical except for the appearance - you can already see it in the game with the weapons. Once all the assets are redrawn and implemented, we can take it the rest of the way too.

Having an issue giving the baby dragon from MM7 warlock promotion a name. When a name is entered in a conformation message comes up saying "Dragon's name will be "name" are you sure? (Y/N)" So far I have been unable to get the confirmation message to apply. Whatever I put it seems to input as a new name which is then prompting a new confirmation message. So I run into a loop that looks like this:
"Choose name for your dragon." Lets say I input Jeb for the name.
"Dragon's name will be "Jeb", are you sure? (Y/N)" I then type Y and other variations of yes.
"Dragon's name will be "Y", are you sure? (Y/N)"
"Dragon's name will be "y", are you sure? (Y/N)"
"Dragon's name will be "Yes", are you sure? (Y/N)" And so on and so on, the name never gets confirmed.

Yes, it exactly what I want to create, it is a huge space for developing the plot. Intrigue and treachery in the struggle for the throne are always interesting :D
Well, it is mostly that Death Kiss wouldn't be anything special on that front in MM7's timeframe. You'd find similar intrigue in practically any colony of the Overlords of Nighon, it is just that Mutare will have luck in her schemes letting her hijack Ordwald's years of preparation and leapfrog to immense personal power, which she'll then leverage to extend hegemony over Nighon.
As an alternative suggestion to Death Kiss, how about Mederon's Hold? It is a bit of a lore-leap since we don't know what Mederon's capital was called, but it could be an interesting way to both have an underground Nighon city with intrigue and struggle and provide a tie to lore from MM8.
Although focusing on Krewlod first is probably best, from a workflow perspective.

What I'm imagining is extending the out-of-bounds road in northwestern Garrote Gorge to be a proper road leading west, leading to 'Frost Peaks' (or something similar in name), a map akin in design to the snowy mountains part of MM7's Tatalia, inhabited by a druidic circle. This provides three things: a snowy area for MM8 in a way that is a reasonable extrapolation of the shown map, a home for the Druid class, which the Druid Circlet seems to point to NWC having planned for MM8 (it would of course also provide a use for the Druid Circlet), and more MM8. The more ambitious/less lore-compliant take would be to add in a quest to recruit the Druids for the Alliance as well.

"Dragon's name will be "y", are you sure? (Y/N)"
"Dragon's name will be "Yes", are you sure? (Y/N)" And so on and so on, the name never gets confirmed.
I won't add this to the bug tracker, since this is already there - all the text inputs are glitched. It's the number 1 worst glitch right now, miles away from other glitches in terms of importance.
The text input will yield eventually... if you select the correct thing like 20+ times or so.
After it yields, use the Cheat Engine from the Tracker as a Character Editor and edit your dragon's name.
We need to get this glitch fixed ASAP.
