Would you mind sharing what this mod contains...?

Ok. This part of MOD is a graphic part of the charecters. It demonstrate us how charecters can be replaced to new one (i think better and more realistic look)




And some basic equipment been replaced



Dwarves are not replaced yet cause I need to find a file that allow me to change body-parts coordinates (to make them a little bit higher) or I will replace dwarves with Genie-race

With this screenshots you might not to download the MOD.

Question to moderator\administrator:
Can I start a topic about my MOD here? It is not complete but I wanna to gather information from other people to make it better. Now i working on monsters to make them more stronger, smarter and more interesting (such as summoning guards, new spells and abilities).

[darknessfood]

Well, looks nice. But i'll wait for a full version to come along. Really curious what the final product will look like. Keep up the good work !

[vladimir-maestro]

Some new tests in summons and new abilities...

Tried to add summons to monsters and succeded!

Monsters will be more harder but have +50% EXP!

[Bimbasto]

Looks great.
BTW, you could post at CRPG also. I think there are some gamers, who could be interested.

[asterix15]

I thank you for this Maestro!

[vladimir-maestro]

Doing my best!

But why noone answered my questions inside archive?

[vladimir-maestro]

Some new spells were added:

As you might remember - Implosion was not a monster spell!!
The same with Mass Destortion.

Invisibility is very EVIL spell!!! Monsters turn invisible and attack from there - you can't see or damage them exept of close combat only - it is sooooo cruel - so I deleted it.

Armageddon is Aufull spell - imagine why?!!!

Here is some summoning spells:

Rats were summoned by zombies!!

(I had a little problems with summons, write something wrong to summoning spell and instead of undead - 3rd zombie form summoning DROIDS from Lincor )
Even with my cheats it was hard to fight them!!

By the way - dark magic can destroy you against droids!!! 3rd droid has got Pain Reflection :-) Dispel Magic will be better spell with Light Magic.

With my MOD you must use your skills wery carefully and play strategy little bit much! Tactic is the main thing to solve this MOD. (something like - killing main summoners first; dispel and paralyze; reanimate monsters; and so on many other ways that you do not mind in original MM7)

Working on - adding some new spells to magic wands...will it work?

Can this beta be played with the BDJ MOD installed?

[vladimir-maestro]

Actually it is.
This beta based on BDJ mod. For now there are little changes in original BDJ mod. If you replace BDJ mod with this you will not lose something from it. Actually you can use only ICONS.LOD from the archive but some little thing will look wrong (classes\races\items\monsters). Acctually monsters will stay old ones if won't replace all files from the archive!!! You can't see a bunch of their summons\spells. Dragonflies now became acidic and watertight. No more monsters will drain you mana. Some monsters learned to use irradicate\dead - this spells were almost useless in original MM7

Quest part in my mod saves BDJ changes.

I'm working with graphic part for now but planning to modify a game too.

Strongly recomended to replace all files in the archive! (make a copy of old ones!)

[Storm-giant]

I isntalled it without doing any copy of old ones: I'm reciving a new computer this afternoon so I don't worry.
Bugs? well when I equiped a normal leather armor instead of showing as you changed it showed as the old ones. some helemts don't fit well in some characters(and on Drakes the armors don't fit, they simply cover up to the drake's noseO_o) also I find that on Emerald Island sometimes walking around the city suddenly appears conversations with people:like zedd true shot, alex the mentor(Who never says anything) and a dwarf(doom bearer) saying something about a disease and starvation and devoured by trolls and the stone city closed.
If i find something more and I can say I will do.Keep the good work.
Edit: Okay, I'm at my new computer(Donwloading lots of things) and I didn't go out of Emerald Island. However, I warn about one bug on BDJ MOD: when you start, if you go either left or right and don't go straight you won't get the message of BDJ talking with you and around the city(normaly in front of the doors), some talks spawned, in one with Zedd true shot(near the inn well) if you click on bow expert you won't be able to talk with him anymore(I go to his door, click on it and...nothing . The names and the spells of the monsters changes correctly, as well as the names of some secondary skills(like light/medium/heavy armor). I load other save games and notice the spells changes(how many spells an archmage knows?I saw lightingbolt, dispel, the old shot of blasters and other which I don't remenber). In the future you will have to adapt the armors for the drake, because they hide the nose and are like floating
Anyway, on around two weeks may I install agian MM7 and try out another version.
one question, will Drakes have a unic secondary ability(like dragons on MM8)?

[vladimir-maestro]

Thanks for this report. I want to say you - do not worry about armors! They not completed yet!

1. Drakes will have differ armor than other charecters.

2. This is only MM7, not MM8! So there is no difference between class\skills, so drakes won't have something unusual.

3. Bugs that you have must be solved: start new game, go forward, speack with BDJ, save the game or play. When you reload game bugs must not appear.

I just learning MM codes can't do much things yet but I will try!
