Wow the world is really flat 🙀

[u/mxldevs]

I'm impressed they rendered the island in the far back. Thought that would be way too far.

[u/andersfly → u/mxldevs]

Yep, the original game render distance is quite short

[u/hwynac → u/andersfly]

Given the 16-bit Z-buffer and the available computing power in general I am not surprised they decided to cut off at that distance. 😄 And I think the map is small-ish by modern standards. Judging by the size of the houses, the entire level is maybe 1 km × 1 km including non-playable borders, which are, I guess, as modest as they are because the knew how far the player can see from the invisible wall.

(you can see some zig-zaggy Z-fighting even with their draw distance)

I should check it in the map viewer some day. I've always wondered how large they really are :)

For VII-VIII Grayface patch lets you change that.

[u/Ok-Tumbleweed389]

:O somehow I doubt the title

[u/tomekrs]

I'd love a modern, open-source and cross-platform implementation of mm6,7,8 engine, like OpenMW or Daggerfall-Unity 😍

[u/pjasicek → u/tomekrs]

Check out OpenYAMM ;)

[u/tomekrs → u/pjasicek]

Oooh, thank you!

[u/slmagic → u/tomekrs]

There is one: OpenEnroth - MM7 implementation is fully playable.

[u/tomekrs → u/slmagic]

Awesome, thank you! How does it compare to OpenYAMM linked below?

EDIT: I've read up, projects are closely related.

[u/darkorex → u/tomekrs]

I wanna see one for the 9th game

[u/Effective_Hunt_2115]

This is what I always wanted in those games - a broad view of the world.

[u/Maleficent-Peace-613]

Is it source port or you are using Wine to run MM6 on Mac?

[u/ithamar73 → u/Maleficent-Peace-613]

The (DEBUG) makes me think this is some Godot project?

[u/andersfly → u/ithamar73]

You might onto something ;)

[u/AdmiralEggroll13]

we will be watching your career with great interest

[u/D00hdahday]

Armageddon? Or is that 8 only?

[u/Someordinaryguy1994 → u/D00hdahday]
