Small "Head" button at the bottom-right corner (above minimap).

Already try that one. Forgot to mention :p
I guess some menu open. There is a hot key?
I use secondary mouse for cursor to appear and click icons. All them work except that one.
I need replace cartographer for spellmaster.

If you have smaller mouse cursor always in the center of the screen - try to press CapsLock.

- How that work? Need rename the file or use a program? Or just copy in the game directory?

- I read something about summon with druid. Is another mod?

- Also: There is a way to change profession and keep the GM from old one? I know is OP but I like it.

- Someone else got stutter with arcomage sounds and in certain areas?

OK I got my answer from a PM by raekuul. Disable mouse look (by turning on Caps Lock) and click on the little head icon on the lower right of your UI ingame. It will expand to your full list of NPC followers. Now I'm reporting some bugs.

First is the one where all merchants (in Enroth at least) want to buy stuff only for 1 gold. As you can imagine this makes money in the game incredibly tight. I thought maybe this was a nerf for those who don't level up merchant but it seems to be ubiquitous.

The second bug is the inability to switch to an interface other than the default M&M8 one. I seem to be getting this error:

Here is the error message since the image upload site downsizes the images:

Might I suggest checking your reputation score? MM6 has more extreme swings in reputation than 8 does, and reputation affects different things compared to 6 (I'm having the same "sell stuff for 1 gold" problem but my reputation is -90 and I don't have enough gold to quickly donate my way back to normal)

My rep is -150 (I suppose from doing the first quest in M&M 6). It takes 200 gold to take off 1 point of negative rep. So everyone will hate me and give me only 1 gold until I get neutral?

pretty much. You can cheat it by using the two way portal between New Sorpigal and the shrine of the gods in Dragonsand, but it's a pain in the ass since you can only take up to 10k gold from NWC at any given time.

Have someone tried to put everything but 10 gold into bank before visiting New Sorpigal temple? That's not a cheat but mechanics (don't ask me why is it done that way though).

It would be easier to verify if MM8 didn't do "dynamic donations" - the more extreme your reputation, the more the temple takes per donation

Yes, the 10 gold trick works. Now I just have to walk 100 times to the temple and back to the bank, but I'll do it.

OK so with 100 positive reputation you buy and sell items at cost. Meaning GM (or any points for that matter) in Merchant is useless. At least in the M&M 6 portion of the game. Is this working as intended?

I don't think this is intended, that's why I kept resetting my reputation with evt.Set("Reputation", 0) command in console (otherwise gold management is nonexistent).

Apparently Community Branch on gitlab has this problem fixed, though for me option to change interface disappeared completely if I used community branch, maybe you'll have more luck than me.

EDIT: Fixed! :-D You need to download this file and replace Data/patch.UI.txt with downloaded one.

Thanks, this indeed works. I hope the rep bug affecting prices will be fixed too, it sort of breaks the early game.

Rodril has disabled it at the start of Scripts/General/MenuControls.lua. You can comment out line 6 ("return") to get it back to work.
