GrayFace MM7 Patch v2.5.7 [Mar 4, 2022]

The path there is for developers, it's not on your computer. Sounds like a localisation issue to me, do you have the mm7lang.ini file in your MM7 folder?

By the way, I think that Identify Monster skill should be improved with resistance percentages, because right now it's pretty useless: even the most lowly monsters like the Skeleton will have all spaces as "Resistant", yet 5% resistance is a lot different from 95% resistance.

cultura82, this problem was already reported and was caused by quick saves. Did you use them? You can set QuickSavesCount to 1 in mm7.ini until I find a solution. I'll send you modified patch soon to check one guess.

IMO, nothing can help it.

Ah well... But then how did you manage to implement the recovery time tooltip?

No, I mean the skill will stay useless anyway.

cultura82, good news. Looks like my guess was right. The guy who reported this problem (in MM6 in his case) showed up and said it worked. This should work: http://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm ... chTest.rar

Oh, well, it would be less useless that way

I kinda like knowing what spells are affecting the enemy monsters (especially on the Light side when I have Dispel), and knowing the actual resistances would be even better (I'm pretty sure you'd choose Lightning Bolt over Blades if the monster had 95% resistance of earth and 5% of air

)

I don't use quicksaves, just the standard "Esc\Save game" and... I still have the error even with patch 1.2.

Something strange happened now, while with 1.1 I was able to use Hardware Graphics now with 1.2 I'm forced with software one but this isn't a problem, I like more the last one

I forgot to tell you a very important detail, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and the game is installed in /users/public/games/3DO/Might and Magic VII

Please send me the save games.

What happens if you run in Hardware?

I also stopped using the autosave feature. It seemed to cause random crashes.

Version 1.2.1 is released. I've fixed one bug that wasn't properly fixed in v1.2.

Thanks friend, it solved my problem

Version 1.3 is released. Variol, AFAIR, you had a problem this version addresses. Please resend your error log to my email, I can't find it now.

Grayface, after installing your patch (which is otherwise very useful

), the game hangs when opening the inventory in the Pit. This only occurs in the Pit, not in the hall of the pit, not in castle gloaming, just in the pit itself.

At first I thought it happened when I cast Fire Aura, but then I noticed it's opening the inventory that causes the game to hang.

A quick google search revealed that this particular problem occured to might and magic 7 games prior to official patch 1.1. Perhaps something you did reverted the bug?

It's not really a big problem, but I thought you should know

Edit: btw could you make the Perfect Bow (archer quest reward) enchantable? It's kind of useless now.. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be enchantable (otherwise it's not very "perfect" is it?).

Hey GF,
I doubt I even sent you that file, right?
I got a new PC just before then and no longer had the file readily available.
It is still on my old PC.
I just started TCC with your patch yesterday. I have not used the autosave and been fine so far.
Ahh, the game loads in about 1 second now.

Please send me the save game. Are you playing BDJ or Maestro mod or clean game?

No, I don't think so. You can tweak its properties in Items.txt to make it better.

Just the clean game. The weird thing is when I went back to the Pit later on the problem didn't occur. I made a seperate save when the problem occured and when I load that one and go into the Pit it does happen. Then when I load the later save again it doesn't. The bug first occured when I returned from the temple dungeon.

Sent you an email.

Sometimes that can happen to the save games. I delete all the save files, while the game is running and then go back in and create new ones. I think the Heroes saves sometimes messed up too.

Version 1.4 is out there. Now Hardware Graphics is really an option.

Does that mean that you figured out a way to use palettes in hardware 3D?
