Mod contain:

ALCHEMY
Potion Flasks have 50% size this help a lot for player who use alchemy and have many potions in inventory. Flasks have also different shape I redesign them all for better recognize with this tiny size. First and second level is standard colors, on third they have symbols (similar to Dungeon Master potions)

PAPERDOLLS
-Throne backround of necromancer
-Necomancer female 1 & 2 (they are naked)
-Vampire female 1 & 2 (white skin instead of blue)

NEW ITEMS:
5 leather armor
5 staff
4 helm
5 belt
1 cloak


screen1: solution to few potions (blue+purple=shield etc.)



screen2: new leather armors and other items

[MMXAlamar]

Why is her tit showing?

[Kalah]

Maybe she's a slave girl or something? Or a religious figure in which breasts are considered part of a fertility display?

I'm all for nudity if it makes sense, but don't like nudity in games just for nudity's sake.

This require to change items XY position, already i quick positioned them by resize bitmap, and with this method can be moved only by + (right down) not - (to up or left) In mm6 this can be changed in Items.txt from Icons.lod here is new engine.. ok found that it lay in Items.txt from EnglishT.lod

Already am experiment on one character new system of clothing where underwear can be weared, this concept work in early Elder Scrolls and can be done here something similar but by tricks like alternate belt, cloak, boots. Its possible because females have different graphics for clothes and btw have idea to make gothic long dress instead leather trouses armors.

[zalunaya]

I don't mind nudity, but you may want to [NSFW] the title.

Anyways!
=The potion changes look good. Reducing inventory space taken up is very welcome, otherwise is spent thirty minutes of inventory-Tetris.

=Don't mean to nitpick, but maybe the nipple should be moved slightly more up and to the left. As it is, it looks like it's on the inner side of breast rather than the front. Could be a trick of perspective, though.

Oh, I'd love that M&M has many nice designs, but lacks of some beautiful clothing.

[koval321]

I renamed item to Savage Rags, this one will not cover but else will do. Price of belt and cloak will be cheap to avoid situation "oh my i dont have money for pants!" Well its under experiments, have many new ideas: dark elves as drow with black skin white hairs, trolls as redguards, minotaurs as dwarves. Vampires will have white skin like one necromancer woman instead of blue.

moding tips:
EnglishT.lod seem to be impossible to open and edit in MM7View.
Items.txt from EnlishT.lod cant be opened in MMArchive but can be extracted and edited.
Save changes is possible but not obviously, use icon "add.." and it will override file
Items XY position is last number before description in Items.txt

Not sure its beauty, but when its possible i will definitely chose for womans dress than trouses. Probably they will be short because boots, anyway woman boots can work as stockings and must be long, this graphic appear above armour. Here is result of first experiments:

this will be interesting....

Trying to design the perfect pair now are we?

Its optic illusion when you look at them too much.

Foud that some values from txt are locked and changes does nothing. Maybe this could be done by other editors, already am use only MMarchive.

Is it part of any quest to kill three pirates from ships at islands? Btw i was able to do that on low level, water walk jump and hide under stairs, then melee attack (he always stand above and cant hit team)

Oh, right, it's the Internet. Of course. I've been assumed to be male, yes?
I remember how that works, now.

Only pointed it out because I've worked on nude/non-nude textures for other games; men, women, demons, whatever. It's not actually much of an issue, and I shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place. Not something a lot of folk are going to notice in the long run.

I killed one of them at a low level via archery, was able to complete game.

New update

screen: changed loading, but still dont known where is mainmenu gfx, cant find it in resources



screen: new items, its my graphic in 2d made from scratches like picture of gorgoyle or snake head

[the beavers1]

COOL! What other changes do you plan on making?

[klaymen]

Wow, good work!
I like it so far.

[koval321]

COOL! What other changes do you plan on making?

Am already play this game again, and whatever see that dislike: change it. Most of content is ok and probably i will modify around 30% of 2d graphic.

new version, screen: i was unable to enlarge boots (locked items position) so am back to lidea of long dress. Warlock helm come wit chainmail corset as one item (so its chain weared on leather) maybe also lich crown will be connected to rusty plate (battle mage and lich as mages which wear armor)

[the beavers1]

Great JOB! btw is there any way of Clearing up some of the paper doll for the female necromancer? shes really blurry...

[koval321]

ok finished playing game and btw dont see reason to update mod because i will not play it anymore

with this mod alchemy is easier but still suck because lack of game balance, i end with above 800000 money and its pretty waste of time to figure out black potions, much easier is to buy them in shops

anyway played 4 necromants and around eng of game each one have elemental 15 and dark magic 30, white potions was usefull to win skill challenges which gived like +5 levels of skill points but at end have somewhere above 70 level which was way enough good

potions really help me only in one place shadowspire laboratory to cure fear and insane, so am invent only white potions (not even all of them) and none black potion, because i dont need them in this point of progress in game

what is good that in give some extra more spells, but mostly red and blue potions was in use. what i found was that dark magic is best from all in game, last spell souldrinker heal party and damage enemies, only this skill and three spells toxic cloud dragon breath soul drinker, elemental magic is ok at begining but its really good to fast invest in dark

this time am used save game editor to change portraits from lich again to known face, and gived perception skill which sometime is very usefull but dont want to have anyone beside necromants

here is bit more from my alchemy research, this would be ofcourse totally impossible with big flasks, how read this potions solution: blue+purple=shield+orange=... (white) also there are potions by mix these with symbols, potions recipe suck and i discover them by my experiments, this was actualy very cool but later with too much money i just buy them, its because lack of game balance, but skill is ok and mod helps a lot to use it

[Holly]

Is there a way to download this? The link is not available any more.

[Anubis]

Yeah, I'd like the link as well

[Variol]

It does look interesting; but please, start the girl with clothes on. Nobody walks around naked in the streets.
