[-] MSS32.dll bugs fixed by using a newer version of it. The bugs are: With orig

h "Pager initialisation error 2" in it. With version from Mok's patch the game c
ould hang when you enter lords' castles or a movie show up.
[-] You could drink from fountains multiple times if all party members are inact
ive.
[-] You could attack with inactive party members.
[-] FixDualWeaponsRecovery option fixes wrong recovery time calculation for char

[-] Some scrolls were endless if you use them on paper doll in turn-based mode.
[-] Inactive characters could use scrolls.

[-] Now scrolls sets the game on pause when used on paper doll. This also disall
ows picking up items while choosing spell target.
[-] Improved Angel's Bootlag Bay circus fix. It didn't work in some circumstance
s.
[-] One of circus buildings in Bootlag Bay didn't have an entrance texture.
[-] 'Increases rate of Recovery' enchantment now works. IncreaseRecoveryRateStre
ngth controls how much it increases the rate. Default is 10%.

e reach of arrows.
[-] Party generation screen animation speed is now limited.
[-] Fixed a couple of index-out-of-bounds errors.

not included in the map file.
[*] Newer versions of MSS32.dll and Smackw32.dll are used always.
Changes by Angel <mailto:[email protected]> (http://sites.google.com/site/ang
elddeath/#TOC-MM6-)
[-] Bootlag Bay circus fixed.
Changes of Mok's patch:
[+] AlwaysRun option enables running. If you press Shift you'll walk. Default is
1 (enabled). Always disabled before the patch.
[+] Caps Lock key will toggle running/walking if CapsLockToggleRun option is 1.
Default is 0 (disabled). (the option to control this was added in GrayFace Patch
).
[+] FlipOnExit option turns your party when you exit a building. Default is 0 (d
isabled). Always enabled before the patch.
[+] LoudMusic option sets the maximum volume of in-game CD Music to maximum of y
our normal Windows CD Audio Volume Slider. Normally the game sets it to half the
volume which is too quiet for some setups. Default is 0 (disabled). Always disa
bled before the patch.
[-] Fixed broken doors in Shadow Guild and Kriegspire Castle.
[-] Fixed shield and armor recovery (Thanks to Mike Kienenberger for the fix).
[-] Fixed CD Audio initialization. Music will play even if CD2 isn't in the firs
t CD-ROM drive in your system.
[-] Buggy harddrive free space check removed.
Changes of official patches 1.1 and 1.2 are listed in Readme.txt
All options are controlled by mm6.ini. It is created when the game is run the fi
rst time.
Some localization options are kept in mm6lang.ini. You can change them or transl
ate to your language. If you create the same options in mm6.ini they will overri
de those from mm6lang.ini.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Quick Saves:
Press F11 to use quick save. You will see "Game saved!" message. "QuickSaveKeyCo
de" option in mm6.ini controls the key used to save the game.
Option QuickSavesCount controls the number of quick saves.
Option QuickSavesName controls names of quick saves. Default is "Quicksave".
SpaceBeforeQuicksaveDigit controls whether there should be a space between "Quic
ksave" and the number of quick save.
"QuickLoadKey" option controls the quick load key.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------How To Use MP3 Music:
Create "Music" folder in the game directory and place there files from "2.mp3" t
o "16.mp3" corresponding to CD tracks. Set "PlayMP3" to 1. Unlike CD music, MP3

music volume is affected by Sound Volume you set in Settings menu, so it's a goo
d idea to keep it at maximum.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------No Starting Movies:
To turn off starting videos add -nomovie switch to the game command line. This i
s not a feature of the patch, it's provided by the game itself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Changing Controls:
Use https://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm/MM6Controls.rar to change controls.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------DataFiles:
Create "DataFiles" folder in the game directory. To modify a file in icons.lod e
xtract it and place into the "DataFiles" folder. It will be used by the game ins
tead of original file. So, you don't need to insert files into icons.lod each ti
me you modify them. Doesn't work with pictures except *.pcx ones.
"DataFiles" option controls this. Default is 1 (enabled).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mouse Look
To enable mouse look set MouseLook option to 1.
Mouse look can work in two modes. The default mode is like in 3D actions and alt
ernative mode is closer to World of Worcraft and similar games.
Here is my preset for 3D action mode: http://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm/MM
6MouseLook.rar
You can activate alternative mode by setting MouseLookUseAltMode option to 1 or
by pressing Caps Lock if the CapsLockToggleMouseLook option is set to 1.
MouseLookChangeKey is used to temporary switch mode (turn off mouse look in norm
al mode or turn it on in activate mode). The mode is restured if you open any ot
her screen.
MouseLookTempKey changes mode while you hold it. Best fit for alternative (WoW)
mode.
MouseSensitivityX and MouseSensitivityY control mouse sensitivity. If you want,
you can invert Y axis by making its sensitivity negative. Note that you can set
values over 100.
MouseSensitivityAltModeX and MouseSensitivityAltModeY are similar, but used for
alternative mode.
MouseLookFly option lets you fly up/down by pointing your view in the desired di
rection.
Cursor used in mouse look mode is located in Data\MouseLookCursor.bmp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wide Screens
This isn't related to the patch, but note that on wide screens you can set up yo
ur video card properties not to stretch the image. At least Nvidia drivers allow
setting this in Nvidia control panel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Errors Reporting
If an error occurs, send me a report, describing how and when it happened. Attac
h a savegame if possible. In case of a crash attach ErrorLog.txt file which whic
h would be created in the game directory.
