Hello.
Idea of this post is not a new one. But let's try to make it come to life!

Might and Magic is not only the game but it was the first one. After few MM parts JVC created Heroes to support main MM storyline in Strategy game. So nowadays if you say Might and Magic you mean Heroes too. And if you say Heroes you mean Might and Magic too.

So, main idea of <MMC> is to merge together all MM series, MODs, tools and modding tutorials with possible materials to be able to create your own MODs for this games.

I suggest to find people who develop something interesting and merge all information about project in one palce with minimun spam and maximus usefull information. Also I suggest to have this DATA in english - that will made this base universal.

As BDJ created some interesting tutorials for MM7 modding - we could create such things and host them all in one place.

I think that people will be interested in modding such games as Heroes 3-5 or MM6-9, what do you think? To gather material H3-5, MM6-9 and projects about this games that ever exist somewhere like WOXII, MMT, MMNO and something else in one place?

Actually that is not the way I see it but it is what it has become. There is a modcrafting guild where these could have been housed, but the moderators have not moved any of the MM mods there. In their defense it could be a very time intensive job for them. If sticky threads for each group of MMs 3-5, 6-8, 9 could be created here or there then it would at least be better organized.

Yeap, in the end is not smth really complicated. Just a sticky
that could write at 1st post smth like:

<Name of Mod/Project/Patch> --> Links for website/downloads

Is not so easy browse so many pages and different topics to
find the mod/patch/info you seek, specially if is smth that started
long ago. But this requires the cooperation of the moders/developers
to post(or send them at a pm) their links so they can be added with
edit at 1st post.

this is possible too.
create 1st topic that won't move down and post there themes with links inside this forum with information e.t.c.

Yes!
A thread with all MM & HoMM mods!

Coz now, even if I am here for a long time (what maybe cannot be seen when You looking at my post counter), I had to jump and search and rip and shoot and (wait, shoot? something wrong here...) - well, You know what I mean.

There should be also all patches (official and unofficial) to every game

A few corrections:

They are tools, not a mod.

And this is not a tool. It may be called a patch or extension.

Physics?

They are for bug and flows fixes and convenience features.

Map Viewer, MM6 and MM7 resolution mods
Map Viewer is a must-have for modders.
The resolution mods allow you set any size for Might&Magic in windowed mode. Whole picture is simply scaled.

Resolution mod for MM7 by mmtool.
The mod changes resolution in MM7 "for real". The mod can already be used, but isn't finished. The most noticeable problem is lack of animation in houses.

Better textures for MM7 in D3D mode

Nice work, if community finds it useful(as I do) plz do this
sticky and if is easy an admin move Bowerbanks post up up to
first

Also if any modder/developer wants to add smth at list
you can PM Bowerbanks I guess to edit the list, or post it here

This is an improvement but it is not the answer. With all of the MMs grouped together. I envision this becoming a 20+ page thread where the user will need to search through several pages (even using the search function) in hopes of finding what they need. What is really needed is a separate thread for each group of similar MMs all with stickys; so the player has a better starting point. Good work, but still not quite right.

Vector · Unread postby **Vector** » 05 Dec 2009, 04:47

I really like this idea and am all for it. However, I would think this thread would need to be pinned at the top of the page at the very least. I could also imagine this thread reaching 20+ pages full of other peoples work.

It would be nice if there was some sort of M&M Modders Community where we could upload all kinds of different programs/mods/games/utilities/TC's/etc. Perhaps one of us should set one up. It would be nice if one site had every resource available; I know I find a program here, a program there, and so forth.

I'm sure users such as BDJ, Grayface, Zipi, Motter, Vladimir, myself, and others could all come up with a nice bit of useful information that others may find handy. If anything, one of us could set up a free webspace, and list every program/guide/tutorial/utility/modification/TC/New Game/etc regarding M&M and just link to where they're located..... provided the creators don't mind a site linking to their work.

that why i wanted it to be hosted somewhere with all the stuff in one place like full tutorials, tools for modding etc.

Corlagon · Unread postby **Corlagon** » 05 Dec 2009, 14:20

Do you guys know about this thing? It's along the lines of your idea, but for MM4-5: http://xeen.wikia.com/wiki/Xeen_Wiki

Maybe you could follow up on the idea and create "Enroth Wiki" or something.

vladimir-maestro · Unread postby **vladimir-maestro** » 05 Dec 2009, 21:22

actually we are making a site

2 languages for your choise, support of any browser etc.
dedicated to MM and Heroes MOD with extra resources for mods and tutorial that will help modder to find any usefull information...for existing mods, planning mods and their own future mods.
