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

[Novi]

Wait, I just noticed a new bug (haven't really played with 2.5.5 much), but for some reason, with nothing changed in config, my game starts with mouselook off. I can turn it on, but when I do, it's not loading my cursor anymore (I have a custom one which is a little bigger than the default since I play in 4K, but it was working fine until now).

Send me the ini

I just tested the game today and it works correctly. It was something on my end, though I have no idea what.

The table text files are tab-separated. There are tricks to have the columns align, depending on the text editor you use, but it's probably simplest to just use TxtEdit, which was made specifically for this purpose.

As for other stuff you asked, none of it is impossible, but it's certainly not easy. You'd need programming skills and experience with a disassembler. Unless you're already a pro, it's probably not worth the effort.

too bad its not easy to change tripple damage ;l
i really like Thief profession, but the tripple damage isnt really so strong compared to for example Knight profession which is strongest melee dps and tank at once. changing it to 10x damage or even more could balance Thief i think. maybe GrayFace can help with it in some next updates

You could improve it in some other way. Say, +2/skill on GM. Or chance to do +100 damage equal to skill on GM (same effect on average).

is it possible to make mobs being able to use for example spell "Jump" or "Soul drinker"?

or "Shrapmetal" at Grandmaster skill does "Dires nine fragments, fastest recovery time."
is it possible to change it to 1 fragment or 15 fragments instead 9?

Only on Asm/hooks level.

also, is possible to change power of spells?
for example spell "Day of the gods" at Grandmaster skill does "Increases all seven stats of your characters by (5 * Skill Level)."
is it possible to change it to 10x skill level instead 5x skill level?

Well, it is possible. You could do an events.Tick event, check for spell being cast and change its power.

Thanks you both guys for help, i really appreciate it!

is it easy to do?
i have checked many files, but cant find any with adding skills to GM or chances to make more dmg

im noob in modding so probably will stay with basic customing, like making mobs harder, changing portraits etc etc

i will maybe have some more questions later, but will see

Thanks again!

is it easy to do?

Yes, which way do you want it to behave? +2/skill would be easier.

Version 2.5.6
<< MM6 - MM8 >>
[+] New command available to map scripts (*.evt) that powers some of the MM6 and MM7 changes of this version (code 0x45 - RefundChestArtifacts).
[-] Items laying on the ground in one map were appearing in another when traveling by foot sometimes. Add FixItemDuplicates=0 to INI to disable this fix.
[-] My bug: DisableHooks option wasn't working for some new hooks.
[-] My bug: When custom *.games.lod archives are used, incorrect data was written to autosave on New Game start. It was fully inconsequential until version 2.5.4.
<< MM7, MM8 >>
[-] My bug: The DirectX 7 bug/limitation fix was being applied prematurely, causing a crash on Wine.
<< MM7 >>
[-] My bug caused by abnormal localization: In German version of the game the party was shooting torches with patch version 2.5.*. This fix also fixes abnormalities of some sprites in that localization.
<< Fixes in maps >>
[-] The Maze (d02), The Titans' Stronghold (d09): It was possible for artifacts to be generated in inaccessible chests, reducing the number of artifacts you could find as a result.

[Mareneusz002]

is it easy to do?

Yes, which way do you want it to behave? +2/skill would be easier.

Hehe, the best would be to test the both ways, but im sure you have better things to do, so if first way is easier, so yea it will work

but how will you do it? you make some changes then give link to download the file or how it works?



also, maybe you could somehow make some more notepads .txt with things like this?
i mean you made the notepads like "Class skills.txt" , "Class starting stats.txt" and few more right? these works really awesome

would it be possible to make .txt file with things like "+2/skill on GM" or
for example change "+1% chance to stun per skill point." to more % like 2 or 5% chance to stun per skill point?

so people like me (noob in modding) could balance the classes even more



also, does the "halving armor" effect at axe at GM works properly?
when i hit monsters, yes i sometimes see that someone has "halved armor" and when i indetify the monster he has effect "halved armor"
but i cant see difference in hits?
before and after "halved armor" effect i do probably same best hit like around ~200

i have tested it only for few minutes at dragons


thanks!

AC effects chance to hit, not damage.

I've just found an amusing bug: if you use a town portal or lloyd beacon scroll from a nested screen and then cancel the spell's dialogue, the game either crashes or becomes completely unplayable. That's because the game issues the 0x71 exit action and then expects to be in the main screen, but the action only returns you to the outer screen in some cases.

Nested screens I know: PC backpack while looting a chest (Game.CurrentScreen == 15), talking to an NPC that shares their house with others (Game.CurrentScreen == 13 and mem.i4[0x5912a4] > 1 and mem.i4[0xf8b01c] ~= 0), and a multitude of sub-dialogues, like advancing a skill to E/M/GM or buying items (Game.CurrentScreen == 13 and mem.i4[0xf8b01c] ~= 0 and mem.i4[0xf8b01c] ~= 1).

It's probably simplest to just forbid using these scrolls from there, but alternatively the exit action could be modified to invoke itself twice or something like that when issued by the above spells.

Why I'm really posting this, though, is to ask if anyone knows any nested screens I missed? I'll want to fix this in my mod before the next release, as I'm adding an item that can cause the same bugs, and I'll most likely just forbid its usage in screens 10, 13, and 15 (makes sense anyway), but there could be others I don't know about.

Instead of disabling it, see how ExitScreen function is used from ReloadHouse in Functions.lua, or ExitScreen and _ProcessActions functions in MMCommon.pas.

[Tomsod]

So, it basically calls ProcessActions out of order to process multiple exit actions? Sure, that could work too, but there really isn't any actual benefit in allowing the player to use my bag-of-holding thingy inside houses or chests, especially if they're gonna be closed anyway, so I'd rather go the easy route. They can press their own dang Esc key! In fact, my code explicitly relies on the fact that one can't open two chests at once, so I would exclude the chest screen either way.

Version 2.5.7
<< MM6 - MM8 >>
[*] Support (i.e. no problems like crashes) for old saves with inconsequential incorrect data caused by my bug fixed in the previous version.
<< MM7, MM8 >>
[-] My bug: The Acid Burst fix that changes its element from Physical to Water was doing so even if it's explicitly set Physical in spells.txt. Now you can also disable the Acid Burst fix by adding FixAcidBurst=0 to INI.

[StevenB]

Is this a bug, or just me?
I installed MM7, then patch 2.5.7
Whenever I use Delete or Pg Down it works like expected to look up and down, but as soon as I move I'm unable to use End to recenter the view. Same thing happens with fly. I can go up and down, but the land button doesn't work after I start moving.

Is this a bug, some setting I missed, or anyone else having this issue?

Hi,

I have applied GrayFace MM7 Patch v2.5.7 to my GoG install, and when I start the game the window flashes up and immediately crashes. I am running on Windows 11.

According to the error, only system DLLs are involved. Did you set Windows XP compatibility?

[rygaar]

I have tried using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3 compatibility, and same outcome, launches and crashes immediately. Also tried with compatibility turned off - same outcome.

The previous log was truncated. Here is the full log from a fresh run.

The topmost MM7Patch address is the mouselook code, I think. Try turning it off? (Although it should be off by default, unless capslock is on.) If it doesn't help, add 45B860 to DisableHooks, that's the hook which crashes for you.

[rygaar]

Thanks. I believe I have tried what you suggested. MouseLook=0 and DisableHooks=45B860.

Still breaks.

I have provided my mm7.ini file (which is just vanilla with the DisableHooks added).

Try also disabling CapsLockToggleMouseLook. Set DisableHooks=46A08E,4D825C,4160C5 -- those three all call the code that I think crashes for you. If neither helps, I'll want to look at the resulting error log, although my ability to help is limited compared to Grayface (but the log can be useful to him, too).

EDIT: wait, I'm blind, 45B860 is the MM6 address, no wonder it didn't work. The three above are the correct ones.

[rygaar]

Thanks Tomsod. Those hooks fixed the crash issue and gave me a further idea.

I currently have three monitors hooked up, with my desktop extended to each. Two have the same resolution, one a lower resolution. I decided to disable the lower resolution monitor and try again. This works, including with mouselook.

So probably a bug related to multiple monitors / different resolutions.

Regardless, now I have a work around!

Thank your for your help. Much appreciated!

[Tomsod]

You're welcome. If you can, check this thread again in a while: when Grayface appears, he might need your help to fix this the proper way.
