Might and Magic 6, 7, 8 merge based on mm8 engine. [upd. 05.11.2023]

[Rodril]

Hello, patch link have been updated. Only bugfixes.
Dagger bug fixed, potion descriptions and behaivor fixed, Albert Newton's texts fixed, autonotes stays as they are for now. Few other minors too.

@Templayer, i'll look through suggestions a bit later.
@lightbringer23, all artifacts moved to 6th tier, but you can get each of them only once, "respawn" time is one year, then you can get those you sold/dropped etc.

YAAY!

Each time Rodril-senpai notices me my heart skips yonders! ^_^

Soooo, I've noticed that while dagger grandmaster has been fixed, there appears to be something wrong about the samage calculation more in relation to the dagger. Foulfang after the balance changes should have a damage of 2d3 + 12, and it does display exactly that. But the vampire's damage is only 66-70, as compared to 13-15 unarmed. Subtracting the 40 damage boost from GM Dagger, we'd ordinarily have 26-30. But Foulfang's bonus should be 14-18 (2+12 - 6+12), while in realty it iself is 13-15. Seems like the actual formula for Foulfang's damage that the game is seeing is 2d2+11. And that is exactly reflected in the Attack Bonus - unarmed it's 15, but with Foulfang it's 66, so 15+40+11. Plz fix in the next wave of patches. Other weapons might require taking a look at in regards to their displayed and actual power for safety's sake too :

Also, not all of the new black potions eradicate the character upon mixing them with something else. I tried mixing Divine Boost with some random white potion and my character just died rather than getting the skeleton treatment. That would also be something nice to sort out sometime.

@Rodril
There is something wrong happening. I have a base merge (non-patched, a few weeks old version) that works. Fully. Tested.
Previously, the patch was screwing it.
So today I said to myself - since the thing I want to do (printscreen the repainted capes) has already been added to the base merge files, I will just download the whole base merge and simply overwrite mine, right?
Well, guess what. After overwriting files, the same error with locatization file pops up.
If I delete that folder and then put the base merge that is several weeks old, it works. Again.
If I use the newest version by overwriting the files, it stops working.

It's driving me bananas.

The amulet Morgan seems to give too many bonuses: The description says +20 spell points and of fire, air, water, and earth, but it actually gives +25 spell points instead of 20 and also +3 armor class

As far as I can tell, almost all the temples are offering meditation instead of merchant. The only exceptions seem to be Dagger Wound and New Sorpigal (maybe Emerald Isle too); they correctly give merchant at the beginning of the game. However, when I return to Dagger Wound later, it seems merchant has changed into meditation! I have no idea what's triggering this. Could it be made so that Merchant is a permanent part of all the temples' skill selection and Meditation is left to the magic guilds?

Found a little typo - the item type for potion recipes says "Potion Recpie".

In Polish we call this sort of thing a "Czech error", no idea why

Hello, patch link have been updated.
Some MM6/7 monsters will drop items upon death like mm8 ones; Enrothian Master teachers will offer teaching to grandmastery too; Armsmasters teachers added in Free Heaven; few minors. Thank you.
I left comments in "suggestions" section of tracker.

Hi, after last update there is once more problem with incorrect leather armor coordinates on troll models

As a Czech I can say that I do this specific kind of error (switching two letters' position) basically each day. Someone should research this!

Totally. It's relly weird

Could you send screenshot, please?

I will try to send it to you tomorrow, but you can easily check it yourself.
Just start new game with troll with leather skill. If you equip him only with leather without any weapon everything it is ok, but giving weapon causes problem. No matter if it is sword or mace or if you put armor first and then weapon. I checked that this problem occurs only with trolls, dwarfs work properly.

Updating icons.lod from main files should fix this issue ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/3lseq5umlq8oe ... s.lod?dl=0 - put it in "Data" folder, replacing existing), though i can not reproduce it for now.

New "icon" file helped, now it's working as it should, thank you Rodril

Templayer, you can delete this issue from bug tracker.

6. Skill bonus limit removed. Skill cap stays at 60, but items can raise skill level further.

And Pandora's Box was unleashed, lmao. No need to stop before pumping up to 60 in a skill now. Monks with 82% Dodge Chance from 60 Unarmed Skill+22 Item Bonus (12 Unarmed Ring+Hands of the Master) is hilarious. Light Magic at 90 (60+30) produces some crazy powerful buffs. Can get Lloyd's Beacon to last up to 630 Days now.

YAAY! Sounds awesome!
Seriously though - at the point of being maxed out on skills, you should be godlike. 82% chance for dodge sounds like a proper percentage for a maxed out Monk. More than 90% however I would consider a bug. Overpowered? Sure. But at that point you are supposed to be.

This is hilarious the same way like monster with thousands of hp and huge damage from monster bolster, but without any additional experience bonus for killing it like it functions now. I agree with Templayer, getting max base skill level needs from you to be very advance in gaming- many hours of playing and monsters slayed.
Besides, dodge skill gives a chance to avoid only missiles, not melee attacks.
