Hello! First of all I thank you for delivering such a mod which helped me to play again this much loved game with a bit of nostalgia! Secondly I would ask a question, when I was young I played with my brother to this game (one game, so we shared the same faith and just played two different 'champion'). I there à trick to play 2 different faith in the game, in a sort of hotseat? I would love to show the game to my wife that way  Anyway thanks again for all this and I ponder getting your guide to have a look into missing! Have a nice day. |

There is not a way to play in the manner you're describing, except for multiplayer. It MAY be possible to open the game twice and play a LAN game... but don't hold me to that. Just give it a try, to see if you can work that. |

Thanks! I confirm ipx wrapper installation for 64bit did work to activate the game creation.
Unfortunately the other copy of the game did not see the created game (list is empty) in the lobby and couldn't join. Did I miss something?

You'd be better off with actually using two computers. |

OK I understand I'll try that. Thanks . I wondered what is and what is not modifiable by modding in this game? I do have some knowledge in programming and I "might" be able to do some things. To which extend were you able to modify the game (or plan to be able)? Anyway I must say I am impressed to see someone work diligently on such an old game. This is impressive |

To which extend were you able to modify the game (or plan to be able)? Anyway I must say I am impressed to see someone work diligently on such an old game. This is impressive I am certain the EXE could be modified, as I was able to do minor, minor edits to it. What is more important to find out is a proper re-compiling of IMP sprites. Someone came up with a program that can extract IMP sprites from IMP files, and it can in fact re-compile IMPs, but they don't recompile 100% properly. But, some edits to the EXE would be allowing any units to have access to the real value "UNIT_WIZARD_MANA" so that certain non-Wizard units can actually cast spells. Non-wizard units can have access to spells, but always register as having -1 mana. So, there are some things hardcoded. As far as what you can do or not do, I cannot enumerate a complete list, sorry. |
