• I guess you probably already know that, but I found something peculiar... - Ramillies ( Fri 06-Apr-18 02:27:31 ) +16

I'm pretty sure that you can also dual-wield hand blasters, which is lethal in real-time combat. (n/t) - Peter2 ( Fri 06-Apr-18 07:26:27 ) +1
- That would be awesome, but in my game it is not possible. - Ramillies ( Fri 06-Apr-18 19:50:36 ) +1

        (Or maybe I will do it earlier if I get so fed up of the physics that I will need a break ) (n/t) - Ramillies ( Tue 10-Apr-18 15:54:46 )

• Memory Crystal Delta - Quest Log Issue? - Mitichifer ( Tue 03-Apr-18 11:25:28 ) +5

Now that's a new one on me and I don't know the answer for certain, but I suspect you may have. - Peter2 ( Tue 03-Apr-18 15:02:05 ) +1
- I don't have an older save, unfortunately. Also, I just retrieved and placed another module and, while the quest for that module is now completed, the quest for the first one is still active. (n/t) - Mitichifer ( Tue 03-Apr-18 17:39:19 ) +1
  - Nevermind, I misspoke. Despite having found another two crystals all four quests are still active. (n/t) - Mitichifer ( Tue 03-Apr-18 18:05:03 )
Solved - Mitichifer ( Tue 03-Apr-18 21:42:11 ) +1
- I'm glad about that - Peter2 ( Wed 04-Apr-18 04:32:09 )

  - Thank you both. I must be blind because I didn't manage to find that parchment. - Ramillies ( Mon 02-Apr-18 23:44:40 ) +1
    - I can't remember exactly which room the parchment's in, but . . . - Peter2 ( Tue 03-Apr-18 03:58:56 ) +1
      - Aand I found it as soon as I stepped into the Temple now - Ramillies ( Tue 03-Apr-18 04:59:23 ) +1
        
        (n/t) - Peter2 ( Tue 03-Apr-18 07:42:23 )

• Installing MM6 TCC Mod on OSX (macbook) - Rocky ( Fri 26-Jan-18 16:14:20 ) +1

I've been hoping someone would reply to this, but I'm afraid it looks very much as though you're on your own. Sorry we can't help! (n/t) - Peter2 ( Wed 07-Mar-18 06:39:07 )

• I have played a game it has 4 elemental zones reminded me of MM 8 - Morglin Ironfist boys ( Sun 31-Dec-17 03:13:03 ) +3

Would be great if Ubisoft created MMORPG online game based on Might and Magic series - Morglin Ironfist boys ( Sun 31-Dec-17 03:21:14 ) +2

- re - vmxa ( Thu 01-Feb-18 16:01:48 )

• Now where did I put the Jukebox? Ah! There it is! - Bones ( Mon 25-Dec-17 09:13:49 ) link img +6

All of my more long-lived PCs have been retired; the one I want to use for forums still mangles some graphical elements. One comment I added far down below, to the LAST mention of the Juke Box . . - The Kiwi ( Mon 25-Dec-17 09:53:17 ) +3
- It's not your computer It's the coding.... - Bones ( Mon 25-Dec-17 13:25:54 )
- My computer won't play the tunes from the jukebox any more either. (n/t) - Peter2 ( Thu 28-Dec-17 15:56:36 )

• Just noticed that when using Frozen North Shadow Guild teleporter... - ragwort ( Sun 24-Dec-17 21:09:51 ) +4

I must say I've never noticed that - Peter2 ( Mon 25-Dec-17 04:28:44 ) +2
- Post above should read "renew them <b>before</b> they expire *sigh* (n/t) - Peter2 ( Mon 25-Dec-17 04:32:49 )
- I think it's a bug also. Don't remember... - ragwort ( Tue 26-Dec-17 01:25:41 ) +1

(n/t) - Ramillies ( Sun 24-Dec-17 06:22:35 )

Thanks for the heads-up! (n/t) - Bones ( Tue 21-Nov-17 23:19:10 )
Question about replacing the computer - Peter2 ( Wed 22-Nov-17 04:12:24 ) +1
- Do you mean the save files or the entire game(s)? Does your old computer have USB port(s)? (n/t) - ragwort ( Wed 22-Nov-17 14:57:49 ) +1
  - Yes, it does. (n/t) - Peter2 ( Wed 22-Nov-17 19:29:25 ) +1
    - Transfering files - Narendur ( Thu 23-Nov-17 15:32:03 ) +1
      - Doesn't it have to be installed? (n/t) - Peter2 ( Fri 24-Nov-17 12:24:20 ) +2
        
        No. My experiance is that once game has been installed, full game can be copied to any new folder or computer. May have to run as ADMIN in newer Windows OS. Can have multiple copies of same game on same computer. (n/t) - ragwort ( Fri 24-Nov-17 13:55:38 )
        Correct. Once the files are on the hard drive, the game plays - Ossie ( Sat 25-Nov-17 21:08:25 ) +2
        
        That's excellent. Thank you both very much. (n/t) - Peter2 ( Sun 26-Nov-17 15:11:55 )
        Technically, "installing" also may (or may not) put something into the registry. - Ramillies ( Sun 26-Nov-17 18:37:53 )

• Hooray for Dosbox! - Peter2 ( Sun 05-Nov-17 04:55:41 ) +13

Wonderful news. Enjoy! (n/t) - Bones ( Sun 05-Nov-17 22:15:37 ) +1
- Thanks, Bones I am enjoying it, believe me! - Peter2 ( Mon 06-Nov-17 05:13:11 ) +1
  - I'm glad it works for you! - Ramillies ( Fri 10-Nov-17 08:44:50 ) +1
    - Many thanks! - Peter2 ( Fri 10-Nov-17 19:13:01 ) +1
      - No, sadly he passed away before I came. - Ramillies ( Sat 11-Nov-17 12:40:12 ) +1
        
        These days, time really does fly by. - Peter2 ( Sun 12-Nov-17 05:51:33 ) +1
        
        Yes, that would match. I came somewhen around 5-6 years ago, IIRC. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Sun 12-Nov-17 06:44:14 ) +1
        
        I'm one of the older hands, although not the oldest - Peter2 ( Sun 12-Nov-17 17:41:59 ) +1
        
        My own arrival also required a less expensive version of the Internet, and probably occurred the same general time as Peter2's arrival. I had a problem that the Finnish Bear helped me with. NT (n/t) - The Kiwi ( Sun 24-Dec-17 08:53:43 ) +2
        
        Hi Kiwi – good to see you're still around (n/t) - Peter2 ( Mon 25-Dec-17 04:30:01 )
        Great to see you in the Tavern, Kiwi ... and great to know that you're still out there hacking, slashing, casting and shooting. (n/t) - Bones ( Mon 25-Dec-17 09:20:10 ) +1
        
        Not real certain what it is that draws me to look this place up this time of year. Between Bethesda and Bioware both tying on all their games with unpleasant requirements, only CD Projekt Red's games halfway appeal to me any more! I was only 58 years old when I stumbled into the forerunner to this place, still middle aged. Happy to be remembered! Best Wishes, friends! NT (n/t) - The Kiwi ( Mon 25-Dec-17 09:37:27 )

Weird, the link vanished - Tizaki ( Sat 04-Nov-17 13:20:20 ) +2
- Is this what it looks like with MMResTool? (n/t) - Bones ( Sat 04-Nov-17 18:26:44 )
- That's strange - Peter2 ( Sun 05-Nov-17 04:46:23 ) +1
  - That's better – nice one, Tizaki! That looks good. - Peter2 ( Mon 06-Nov-17 05:09:35 )
That looks really great! (n/t) - Ramillies ( Fri 10-Nov-17 08:46:51 )

• TCC Where can I purchase diplomacy skill? - Cuddlefish ( Sun 13-Aug-17 03:44:10 ) +5

We're not ignoring you, believe me! It's just that there doesn't seem to be anybody around at present who knows. - Peter2 ( Sun 20-Aug-17 15:18:51 ) +2
- The diplomacy skill is available in Ellesia at the Buccaneers' Lair. (n/t) - Ali ( Mon 21-Aug-17 13:35:11 ) +2
  - Thanks, Ali (n/t) - Peter2 ( Tue 22-Aug-17 04:59:53 )

• Editing spell properties - Pokota ( Fri 21-Jul-17 12:12:02 ) +5

These are great questions. Someone with modding experience will have to answer, and I'm looking forward to reading that. (n/t) - Bones ( Sat 22-Jul-17 22:28:29 )
Some educated guesses, if you would like them. - Ramillies ( Sun 23-Jul-17 14:26:25 ) +1
- re: educated guesses - Pokota ( Sun 23-Jul-17 20:52:59 ) +1
  - Too bad, I'm not able to help you then - Ramillies ( Mon 24-Jul-17 04:12:10 )
I've only used Grayface's "Datafiles" feature to adjust the game... - ragwort ( Sun 23-Jul-17 15:00:27 )

• Remaking MM6 in Morrowind - Vaoe ( Tue 16-May-17 07:22:46 ) +16

Good luck! - Peter2 ( Wed 17-May-17 04:49:54 ) +1
- Thanks Peter - Ray ( Sat 20-May-17 09:35:21 )
Oh, wow! - The Elf Herself ( Tue 30-May-17 13:51:38 ) +1
- Compared to the time spoent in M&M6, my own investment in Morrowind was a drop in the bucket! I'm about to start Pillars of Eternity now. NT (n/t) - The Kiwi ( Sun 24-Dec-17 08:58:23 )
Good luck from me as well! - Ramillies ( Sun 11-Jun-17 13:46:10 ) +1
- That it is so simple and actiony is what I love about it though... - Sudo ( Mon 24-Jul-17 09:41:17 ) +1
  - — Well, if I want to hack&slash tons of enemies, I fire up Torchlight for a moment. - Ramillies ( Tue 25-Jul-17 03:40:10 ) +1
    - If MM6 was as fast-paced as Hexen, I would enjoy it even more - sudo ( Tue 01-Aug-17 01:59:49 ) +2
      - I meant Torchlight 1. The second one somehow failed to impress me. - Ramillies ( Tue 01-Aug-17 06:32:05 ) +1
        
        I see, well, about Hexen... - Sudo ( Fri 04-Aug-17 05:59:05 ) +1
        
        Well, I see your point. Incidentally, the most amazing thing on MM6 for me were the dungeons. - Ramillies ( Sat 05-Aug-17 16:49:23 )
      - I'm not a fan of FPS games in general, but I enjoyed Hexen - Peter2 ( Sat 12-Aug-17 21:47:57 ) +1
        
        I had a better look at it... - Ramillies ( Tue 22-Aug-17 07:01:38 ) +1
        
        That has been my problem for some years. But I'm retiring in about 6 months . . . (n/t) - Peter2 ( Tue 29-Aug-17 12:33:54 ) +1
        
        Are you? That's great! (n/t) - Ramillies ( Tue 12-Sep-17 15:21:52 )
It's looking good! it's something I've been considering as well... - Sudo ( Mon 24-Jul-17 10:30:55 )

Most of this is fair comment, and the alterations I would make are mostly a matter of style and personal choice. - Peter2 ( Sun 05-Mar-17 17:48:42 )

• Being a perfectionist I have always hated wasting even seconds… - ragwort ( Fri 17-Feb-17 15:14:45 ) +2

I agree with Bones! - Peter2 ( Sat 18-Feb-17 03:22:14 )

Drinks all around! And a toast to friends old and new. (n/t) - Bones ( Sun 29-Jan-17 08:48:49 )
It's sad, but yes, Big Brother certainly IS watching. Certainly I needn't mention that Uplay, need I. (A very tasty drink, despite the fact I don't drink ale at all.) (n/t) - Ramillies ( Sun 29-Jan-17 11:39:55 ) +1

• After many, many years, I have finally finished another complete game of MM6 - tp ( Thu 19-Jan-17 13:27:24 ) +5

Also, my characters are in the 80 ~ 90 levels instead of 50+ levels (n/t) - tp ( Thu 19-Jan-17 13:29:23 )
Did you perhaps put more points into merchant skill with those extra levels? - Xanax ( Fri 20-Jan-17 09:28:56 ) +1
- Whoops - meant 'training' not 'skilling up' in my last sentence. (n/t) - Xanax ( Fri 20-Jan-17 09:30:24 ) +1
  - Yes, I usually put one of my characters (the salesman) to master in merchant in the middle of the game. - tp ( Sat 21-Jan-17 02:46:51 )
Yes, I start a lot of them, but finish very few. - Peter2 ( Fri 10-Feb-17 08:03:11 )

So it turns out... - Serena from Way Back When ( Thu 19-Jan-17 12:06:57 ) +1
- Alas... - Serena from Way Back When ( Thu 19-Jan-17 12:35:18 ) +1
  - Are you using Grayface's 2.0 patch?? (n/t) - ragwort ( Thu 19-Jan-17 18:49:37 )
Hi Serena. Always good to see you. Pardon me if you already knew this, but your Play CD is a dual formatted disc.... - Bones ( Thu 19-Jan-17 22:36:49 ) +1
- Maybe everyone knows this but.... - ragwort ( Fri 20-Jan-17 05:54:44 ) +1
  - Yes, it's a totally ordinary Audio CD as any other. - Ramillies ( Sun 22-Jan-17 21:06:38 ) +1
    - Yes, I am using Greyface's patch, and will try the media player rip thing! Thanx! (n/t) - Serena from Way Back When ( Mon 23-Jan-17 15:14:52 ) +1
      - I finally set up the music folder and renamed the ripped files... - ragwort ( Tue 24-Jan-17 17:41:57 ) +1
        
        That's the way I play it and it works perfectly. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Tue 24-Jan-17 20:43:44 )

• is it true that Blaster always hit? I tend to miss my targets a lot. (n/t) - tp ( Tue 17-Jan-17 23:12:18 ) +10

This question has two parts: "Does a blaster beam always hit its target?" and "Does a blast from a blaster always get through and cause damage?" - Peter2 ( Wed 18-Jan-17 04:24:25 ) +1
- I am thinking alone the line of spell like ice bolt that always hit and toxic cloud that tend to miss 30% of the time. (n/t) - tp ( Wed 18-Jan-17 08:35:35 )
The question has actually 3 parts. - Ramillies ( Wed 18-Jan-17 15:48:54 ) +2
- My question is in step 2. - tp ( Thu 19-Jan-17 00:16:06 )
- I'm not sure that targeting is quite that simple. - Peter2 ( Thu 19-Jan-17 06:34:15 ) +3
  - If aiming at different parts of a target makes some difference, - tp ( Fri 20-Jan-17 00:35:25 ) +1
    - No idea, but I suspect not. - Peter2 ( Fri 20-Jan-17 04:39:28 )
  - When you say it, I must agree it's true. - Ramillies ( Sun 22-Jan-17 21:09:52 )

• Shooting at a large target - tp ( Sun 08-Jan-17 22:16:21 ) +7

- I was using the flying-up-and-down trick. - tp ( Tue 10-Jan-17 21:44:44 ) +1
  - You might be letting them get a bit too close - Peter2 ( Wed 11-Jan-17 04:16:30 ) +1
    - Yes, I agree - tp ( Wed 11-Jan-17 22:32:24 ) +1
      - That is certainly true! (n/t) - Peter2 ( Thu 12-Jan-17 04:55:04 )
I don't think it matters at all. - Ramillies ( Sun 15-Jan-17 08:05:29 ) +1
- It sounds reasonable. (n/t) - tp ( Mon 16-Jan-17 00:33:44 )

Yes, it is indeed an easter egg -- though not like that. - Sudo ( Wed 08-Feb-17 16:27:19 )

It's a year later for this thread. Be that as it may, I don't see the Christams Lights and decorations in here? I missed that! NT (n/t) - The Kiwi ( Sun 24-Dec-17 09:22:07 ) +1
- I scrolled down far enough to see I didn't even post any Season's Greetings messages in here last Christmas. That typically means no message thread I read when I visited (if I did so, a year ago) caught my attention. So, seeing it's Chritmas Eve (sorry about misspelling that with a typo above), I now wish all of you, newbies and oldies, like me, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and to all a Good Everything!

• I am not sure if this is an "allowed" question - tp ( Thu 08-Dec-16 23:26:02 ) +9

There certainly is a way, though I don't remember exactly. - Ramillies ( Fri 09-Dec-16 04:10:32 ) +1
- There were a number of "cracked" versions around shortly after the game was published, but I'm not sure where – or if – you'd find them now (n/t) - Peter2 ( Fri 09-Dec-16 04:18:18 ) +2
  - Google says they're still available. (n/t) - Bones ( Fri 09-Dec-16 07:46:47 )
  - I didn't mean any cracking. - Ramillies ( Sat 10-Dec-16 08:54:44 ) +1
    - My experience is that all versions (v1.0-1.2) and patches (Mok's & ??) before Grayface's patches required CD to start game. Once started, CD could be removed to stop music if Anims folder/files on hard drive. Grayface's patches allowed no CD. (n/t) - ragwort ( Sat 10-Dec-16 19:15:33 ) +1
      - Then that was it. I use Grayface's patch. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Wed 14-Dec-16 13:33:23 )
