I think each monster should have 100% resistance to one and 50% to else elements, and one weak point where he will be 0% resistat. And monster name shouldn't spoil his resistances (for example "fire something") In result identify monster become more usefull and give tactic value to game.

Strange idea, what about add dinosaurs to game? They could be tough monsters on one island.

You will have to wait for Jim to give you a definitive answer, but while I was actively working on the project; the new creatures created used only the graphic slot. Both BDJ and Vladimir took pride in the fact that not only were the graphics new but the statistics and type of attacks were new and unique to the new creature. I do not know how many of Vladimir’s new creatures have been given to BDJ at this time to include into the game. I have not been in contact with either of the other team members in some time but I would assume they will also have new characteristics appropriate to their type, and only the actual slot is the same. They were both also developing new sound files for the new creatures.

Jeff, I sent Jim 10(+1) new creatures and working under 3 new.

Nice to hear from you again, and that is good news. The creatures I have seen have been very nicely done.

really cool to see a new mod, check back every few months on MMX progress and any other news, but I have only just noticed your mod! sounds great and hopefuly I'll have a play of it when you get it complete.

good work and thanks for you efforts

Can't wait for the final version too. I had to format my hard drive
so I will start it again when the final version is out

Btw, maybe it's not the right place to post it, but wouldn't
be great to add a sticky at MnM section with all the links
and infos of the mods/patches we have until now? I formated
my pc and now that I need to download them all again I realize
is so chaotic to find them all. Could be also a guide for the
mods/projects are under development with link and few infos.
Could be an update of the current FAQ sticky ofc. Just an idea

vladimir-maestro · Unread postby **vladimir-maestro** » 25 Nov 2009, 13:57

We were thinking about this idea for a looong time.
It is really difficult to complete such idea because MM was popular in many different contries...and some people are not speaking english but still could have something in their projects too.
I'll try to made a post about this.

I'm begging you to put your methods into a tutorial and release the custom code you created to the public: they'd be invaluable for the MMX and remake projects, and can only increase the replayability of the games.

Corlagon,

Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been a-bit busy and also thinking about 'tutoring' on the methods of changing map terrain and the-like. It's a somewhat 'tedious' serious tasks to manipulate these map databases. Much can be done using custom C-code, but, in the end, there can be many, many Hex 'tweaks' required to finalize a single map area. It probably will take a programmer who knows his/her way around C and C++ and understands basic database theory to make the effort worthwhile. I may be willing to personally 'tutor' one of your team's programmers on the basics of map generation, if he/she has the time. A C-compiler is a must, however. I am using Dev-C++ from Bloodshed. It's free and downloadable and quite 'robust'.

If your team is interested, have one of your programmers contact me via email at mm7rev4modrel2@yahoo.com. All I ask is ackowledgement as a contributor/consultant to MMX.

BDJ

A thousand thanks, BDJ, from all the team. We've just sent out a correspondence.

The TCC files have been removed from the download site in preparation to posting of the final TCC release.

The final TCC release, and hence TCC game, will be in two parts. In order to complete the game, both parts must be completed in game play.

Part 1 (the original TCC Game with additional graphics and modified 'end game' quests) will be posted around Dec26th.

Part 2 (The 'expansion') will be posted in late January/early February.

Completion of the 'new' Part 1 is required to enter Part 2. The player cannot simply load a SAVED Game from the original TCC and expect to be able to enter Part 2.

I encourage those who are interested in this final release to download, install, and play through the new Part 1 and SAVE your game at the transition to Part 2. The SAVED Game **must** be in the first SAVED Game slot!!!!! Then wait for the Part 2 release. Once Part 2 is released, downloaded and installed, the SAVED Game will then take the player immediately into Part 2.

More details to follow.

FYI ...

BDJ

I'm no good at all this techy stuff, but if you need a tester, I'd be happy to help.

I just got my Win 7 upgrade today, so I will be running that shortly. I hope it will fix my Vista problems.

vladimir-maestro · Unread postby **vladimir-maestro** » 03 Dec 2009, 22:16

This expansion was smart decidion cause MM6 got limits in quests, monsters and other stuff...and we maximized all of this limits!

So Jim found a way to expand this limits with additional files that will work one after another.

I found resources (all graphics) from daggerfall, and am wonder maybe these could be used in custom MM? Maybe am wrong but i see lot of connections between both games in monsters and paperdoll+clothes.

They can be download here: http://forum.drdteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=39709

Thanks for the link. I have downloaded the file(s) and looked them over. Unfortunately, they are all .GIF format and the MM game uses .bmp and .tga.bmp RGB files.

they could be re-coded into BMPs
