I never liked the default MM7 NPC portraits -- they looked so goofy. These are way better. Good job!

Thank you!

Version 0.6 is out

Edit: v0.7 is out, more elves!

Hello! New in version 2.5: [+] Now you can climb steep mountains, like you used to when the game came out, unless ClimbBetter=0. I have tested the game with real hardware, according to the recommended CPU (Intel Pentium 200 MHz) climbing is not possible. It only works on faster CPUs and since they w...

Might & Magic VII portraits repainted. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alpacanox1/mm7-portraits/refs/heads/main/example.jpg During development of Might & Magic VII the team switched to rendering portraits with CGI instead of using stock images, unlike in the previous installment. That chan...

Added a new script which allows to zoom the camera while in-game

Change this line in the script:
function Keys.F12(t)
To something like:
function Keys.F5(t)
or
function Keys.O(t)

Regarding the Hello World example it can be found here:
https://grayface.github.io/mm/ext/ref/#Hello-world!

Debug menu was just to verify that MMExtension is running

MMExtension might be outdated if it was installed prior. Or some other program is bound to F12 so the game is unable to use it. So you can try altering F12 to F1-F11.
Try running other scripts from Script/General directory, like Hello World example to confirm that everything is set up correctly.

Does console appear if pressing ctrl+f1?
Filename should be something like uitoggle.lua

Update: the script now shows UI when not rendering 3D view (in houses, inventory and such)

Yes, the directory should be in M&M 6 folder once MMExtension is installed

Update: The script now allows to toggle UI on the fly in-game

Objects are imported relatively to the scene so the best way to deal with it will be to export the entire map into a 3D editor and then position objects based on it. Or to move the object manually in MMEditor after it is imported.

(Not related to the patch, just a bug in the game). Learning spells while in the spellbook crashes the game. The crash itself only seems to happen if the spell image wasn't seen previously.

That will be a really nice addition. In theory it can be done by just appending all extra tables to the main one while the game is loading in a similar way as the bin files are generated, but I know nothing about how the patch works so can't be sure. I remember that the 2D locations are accessed by ...

Is there any way to extend data tables using similar approach as with patch LODs? For example if I were to add a single custom monster I will need to replace the entire tables, which could've been modified prior as well, breaking compatibility with the other mods. By extending I mean creating a sepa...

For me it turned out that portals are too big of a deal for almost nothing. I mean the performance doesn't seem to drop too badly, probably unless going for a really huge map and automap being revealed right away is alright. So the object mode seems fine as for now. I have made a small sample map us...

As it stands for now, rooms generation is a problematic step in any workflow, you also need to create portals at the same time. Quake does use portals and rooms, so I wonder if output from its BSP generation step could be used. Will it be sufficient to just mark all room entrances with box shapes t...

What does it mean for MMEditor? Trenchbroom exports objects as a set of segments / brushes. That means that room import will not work since every wall will be considered a separate room. It also makes it difficult to move complex objects after import. Merging things together using some software as ...

The new .mtl feature works great! Vertical offsets I was exploring on how the game interprets vertical texture offsets and I am trying to figure out this behavior: https://i.imgur.com/g0eCs8Y.png Can it be limitation of the engine or it's just 2 engines interpreting offsets in a different way?
