MM 6/7/8 Total Remake

[RyuMaster]

There are still many odities in original code, maybe there is some good way to report them? Anyone needs it? For example, I can see that:

if (pCharacter->classType == PLAYER_CLASS_KNIGHT)
pCharacter->sResMagicBase = 10;

knight gets sResMagicBase on start, but this value is never usued in any calculations. Its that never used inside mm7 original code (i.e., left from mm6), or its a mistake? I can lots off odd stuff like that.

[RyuMaster]

so you rename the .ra file to an .exe?

Yes, I did it and it works.

The Knight does get the magic resistance in MM6. It could be they decided to get rid of it because they rebalanced the Knight by giving him Armsmaster. I actually never knew the Knight didn't get that in MM7.

I see, you know lots of stuff I guess I'll post questions like this here, if I encounter them, and later then I'll just merge my fixes with original build. Also good way to learn more about it myself

Magic damage & resistance is legacy MM6 stuff in the code, not used at all in MM7.
There are also skills like Diplomacy and Theft that are in the code since MM6 but not used also.

Just a reminder, this project is still alive. Here are some emerald isle pics.

Wow, it looks good! Is it rendered in Unity with the MM interface graphics imported?

[Coldy]

Very impressive stuff. Well done, hope to see more

[Troller]

Great to hear that you are still keeping the project alive :-)

[Dragonfly]

Great work!!! Thanks for keeping it alive!

I'm playing MM7 for the first time, thanks to this African gentleman: https://youtu.be/l6rmG4ZbLTA
I have previously played MM:Gates To Another World on Sega Megadrive and I also tried out some of the Heroes 1-5 collection on PC.

Your remake looks far better than I expected. It appears to feature better water, more complex geometry, trees as models rather than sprites etc. Going above and beyond. It is clearly an immense undertaking, I didn't read the entire thread, but I hope you are opening up the code to others and putting it in some sort of github in case you drop out, the job can be taken up by others.

My most disliked thing about the original is the draw distance, how does your remake fare on that account?
Can you make draw distance infinite like Doom engine?

[equs]

absolute amazing result! I love the new graphics.
Hope this project will be continued. Is there any information about what is already done, on what the devs working at the moment, what kind of help maybe needed.
And the idea of more draw distance sounds also great. If it is possible.

How work is going?

It looks like images are down now.

The last commit was no older than a couple of months ago so it seems to be alive(ish) :-)

[Talin_Trollbane]

Well.....i dunno, until i get some evidence im gonna mark this one as dead.

[Nomad]

It's not dead.. just very sporadic
