Question for those using MergeMod
11/24/2021, 12:24:57

The Elf writes:
Hi all, and happy Thanksgiving! I think my baby sister would love to have MergeMod6-8, but I don't know how to get it. She doesn't have the disks for the original 3 games--I got them, while she got the HoMM's. Can someone please tell me how to get it? GOG? Some website or other? Please tell this ignorant elf! Thank you all.

Link to CH Round table has 348 pages of info.I don't think you need follow installation instructions. Everything has been modified and is included in previous link. Recommend setting up folder labelled MMmerged, placing zip file there and unzipping. I use 7-zip. Open mm8.exe to play.

Essentially need to replace files over vanilla installation of MM8

Ossie writes:
The replacement files, and instructions on what/where to replace, are in the downloads. But needs to be replaced over native MM8 installation, and is then played via MM8 exe, so if she no longer has the game, and doesn't have an existing vanilla installation, she won't be able to play

My sister doesn't have a vanilla MM8. It, along with many other disks, was stolen about 5 years ago. It was a break-and-enter type of burglary. She lost many, many other valuables, and all the family photographs were completely vandalized. The perps were never caught.Can she get a vanilla disk at GOG, for example?

GOG sells them for a few bucks each.

You can't get a disk per se from GOG, but once you buy a game there, you get access to an installer that has no DRM in it. You can then download it as many times as you want, or you can store it somewhere, burn it on a disk or do anything else you like with it. I have MM7 and MM8 from them, and they work great. Moreover, their games are often better tuned to work with the modern systems, so there is less chance that the game will refuse to run until you switch on some obscure compatibility settings etc.(Currently, the MM's seem to be at roughly $5 a game there. However, occasionally they are on sale, and then they're dirt cheap — when I wanted to buy them there a couple of years ago, I was lucky and they were on sale. I paid something like 2 € total for MM7 and MM8, which is next to nothing, especially compared to how many hours of great gameplay I got from them.)

And if I recall that well, the MMMerge is meant to be run on top of the GOG copies anyway, not the original ones.
