MM7Rev4modR1 Redone Ultimate

Unread postby DaveHer » 31 Dec 2022, 11:18

This mod has everthing. You do not need anything else. It has GrayFace patch 2.5.7 and the new MMExtension and editor 2.3. With this new MMExtension and editor, I was able to add more models to the maps. Before this, there was a limit as to how many models could be placed in MM7 maps. This mod has extra monsters in almost every map. Most of the bitmap texture and sprites have been upscaled to a higher resolution. The original quests in Emerald Island and Harmondale are still there. I added eight additional quest (two in each of the following maps: Tatalia, Deyja, Avlee, and Tularean Forest. You will need to look for the quest giver. There is something new in these quests that was not possible before for MM7 and that is kill all monsters in a map of a particular type. There is an NPC in Emerald Island and Harmondale that can give unlimited heal party. There is an NPC in Emerald Island that gives +10 to all resistances. Many sprites have been resized to a more realistic size.

Installation is easy.

1 Install a clean copy of MM7 GOG.
2 Install mod. Place everything into the installation folder of MM7. Overwrite all.
3 Create party and play.

Thanks for the mod!
I have a few observations about it.
Bracada and Avlee maps do not load, the game quits. I've only looked at it with editor, and it could be a problem on my end. This is the error message (Bracada):
Image

The minimap doesn't really follow the innovations, e.g. the new bridges on the map, and I don't understand why houses are floating in Deyja.
A couple of small things, not all weapons are aligned to the characters' hands, e.g. the Club at the very beginning. Also, the skill/class descriptions don't follow the changed class names (Alchemist has Druid, Barbarian has Knight, Light Armor has the original Leather descriptions).

Bitmaps and new sprites look amazing though, something breathtakingly beautiful! Very, very nice work, I just stared and stared!

(Unfortunately I only got this far, no time to play. :( )

If you installed the hot fix, that is why you cannot go to Avlee and Bracada. GrayFace patch (which is already in the mod) takes care of that. For testing, I installed the mod according to the instructions above and had no problem going to those maps. You are supposed to use a little imagination about deyja, the house are sustained by black magic. You may have to install it again. Do not delete you save games.

Installed and played the first day, worked great and looked good. Having some issues a few days later though, check the screenshot. Tried to reinstall over it but stayed the same. The shop signs are especially strange. Any idea what could be causing it?

You were to install nothing else, no GrayFace Patch. If you played the game with a save game from the other version, then that will create problems. Do not install the Hot fix. I tested the installation instructions and It worked fine for me. No issues.

During courier quest, when Hume asked us to fix the pendant in Harmondale (douglas Inverson) , can't finish the quest (probably because you replace the courier delivery with heal party?)

I did the clean copy and just the mod, overwriting all, created a new party and everything. Did a complete uninstall/reinstall but it was the same.

I noticed it was acting like the GrayFace patch wasn't working (old Gui, no fullscreen/window select, no hardware gfx support, etc) so I tried to apply it and everything seems to be working great now. It's odd since it worked great the first day, maybe it just reverted somehow between when I shutdown and opened a few days later. Anyway glad it's working now.

Currently at the same place the person above me is, can confirm the second courier quest doesn't seem like it can be completed as the Heal Party seems to override the quest dialogue option to fix the broken amulet for the quest.

Here is the link to fix the pendant Quest.
Place it in the Scripts\Global folder. Overwrite the existing file. The Heal Party went to the NPC next door to the left. You do not need to start a new game. :) Sorry guy.

Nice, it works. Heal Party is next door also, it replaced the Repair Item expert option but not really a loss.

Click on the download above again it has a new Heal Party Lod file. It solves the Repair Item expert problem. The Heal Party went to Tanya Kirklinn. Who is over the mountain.

If you haven't specified compatibility settings, Windows will set its own preferences without telling you. That's why I always recommend to set Windows XP SP3 compat on mm8.exe and mm8setup.exe for Merge.

Hi David, thank you so much for keeping up these great mods and making them better!

I installed your MM7Rev4modR1 Redone Ultimate mod, just as described, put the exe files in XP-compatibility mode. Everything works, except the graphics are low-res (legacy MM7) and not the new high-res graphics I see on your screen shots. I tried this several times, didn't mess with the ini file, etc. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you!!

UPDATE: Nevermind, it works now. I have no idea why. I'm so confused!! :p

Hi! Loving the game, having a party of barbarian, ninja, priest and mage. Done all the Promotion quests with the exception of the watchtower in deja quest which i havent gotten around to doing yet, and the ninja promotions. Hence the issue: I cant find any promotion quests for Ninja. Bartholomew doesnt exist anywhere. Ive been to the meditation spot in the barrows to see if it would activate there, and it didnt. ive talked to the greatest majority of npcs. i just cant find the promotion quest. i started a new game and speedran emerald island just to check if Bartholomew was originally in the church of harmondale. he wasnt. My ninja is kinda sub-par considering everyone else in my party is on the final promotion with gm skills and he isnt.

I hope its just me that havent seen x npc in the pit or something.

Bartholomew is found next to the stable in the Bracada desert in this mod, unless he's been changed he should be there.

Hi. I'm doing MM7 for the first time. I now decided its better to do the unmodded version first, except ofc Gray Face patch. 2nd run I will do this modded version.

For the unmodded version, is there a way to load the HQ graphics only, without the MM7RevmodR1 mod? Would love to have only the graphics (ok and maybe widescreen).

Thanks!

Next issue! :P in "the land of the giants" you get a quest from "the maestro" to gain some books from the dragon king and queen in their caves. I have successfully retrieved them! Yay! However, the game decides to crash whenever i try to hand in the books. Bummer.

I tried to uninstall everything, reinstall everything. Both all at once, and in parts. I tried deleting the extra "lod" files as David said i should. I tried installing the normal "redone" version. Nothing worked.
-FIXED-
If you have the same problem as i had, save right before you hand in the quest. Close the game, open the game again in MM7-Rel (im guessing thats without the greyface patch) the game looks really bad, but you can hand in the quest. Get your reward, and save. DO NOT OPEN THE INVENTORY. Or do, but the game crashes, and if you forgot to save then do it again.

NOW! Open the game as normal and get your reward :)

I do not know why that happened. No one has reported that bug.
