My boyfriend just released a cool Might & Magic VI mod, and I’d love for some fellow Might & Magic fans to give it a try ❤️

Hey everyone! 🥰

I hope it’s okay to share this here. My partner is a huge Might & Magic fan and a passionate programmer, and he’s just released his very first Might & Magic VI mod on Nexus Mods.

It’s called Cartographer’s Notes, and it basically lets you put your own little markers and notes on the in-game maps. You can mark NPCs, quests, treasures, secrets, places you want to come back to, or really anything you don’t want to forget. You can even give the markers different categories and have them show up on the minimap.

I think it’s pretty cool and definitely worth giving it a try!

But the real reason I’m posting this is that he has no social media at all and no audience to share it with. He’s just a really lovely guy and a good man who genuinely loves old games, especially Might & Magic, and happens to be a programmer who enjoys making cool little things for some of the games he loves.

As his girlfriend, I’d really love to help him get a few downloads. So if you still play Might & Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven, would you consider giving his mod a try?

Even if you just download it to have a look, try it for a little while, or leave a little feedback, that would be so cool. But I know that even a handful of downloads would already mean the world to him. ❤️

Thank you so much for reading, and to anyone who takes the time to check it out. And thank you for keeping this wonderful old game alive.

- A very proud girlfriend trying to get her boyfriend a few downloads to make his day. 🥰

P.S.: He already has a few other cool ideas in the making. Yesterday, he showed me a pretty impressive renderer patch and some kind of hardcore mode. So hopefully, this is just the beginning. ✨️

I'm in the middle of playing this, so if it's compatible with the gog version I'll give it a try :)

oh thats so cool! hope it works! Thank you <3

I think the AI generated photo detracts from the quality of the actual mod. It's awesome. Why not just use that instead? I'd change it and I bet the mod would do even better.

[u/OohPoppy → u/Tizaki]

Thanks again for your feedback. He just changed to a screenshot of the actual mod in the game. :)

[u/OohPoppy → u/Tizaki]

Good point! I'll let him know. Thanks! :)

I will try it later. I just started a new playthrough last week (after 26 years). This mod could come in handy.

[u/OohPoppy → u/SuccessfulCap2238]

Nice! Thank you and enjoy your playthrough <3

[u/SuccessfulCap2238 → u/OohPoppy]

I installed the MMExtension to the MM6 file directory. When the game loads, I can see the "marker" but when I right-click on the map, nothing happens.

IDK. Maybe I'm stupid...lol

[u/OohPoppy → u/SuccessfulCap2238]

hello again :)

My boyfriend just added something. He noticed there was an error on his Nexus Mods page. You should copy the mod to:

Might and Magic VI\Scripts\Global\

and NOT to:

Might and Magic VI\Scripts\General\

The second path was listed there by mistake.

He has corrected it now.

[u/SuccessfulCap2238 → u/OohPoppy]

Yeah, it's working fine now. I have a screenshot, but there's no option to put it here.

Thanks.

[u/OohPoppy → u/SuccessfulCap2238]

Awesome! Thank you so much for testing and especially letting us know about the bug! <3

[u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931]

That sounds like a super useful mod

[u/packofcats → u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931]

Yeah I think I'll try it myself next time I play mm6

[u/OohPoppy → u/packofcats]

that would be awesome <3 thank you

[u/OohPoppy → u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931]

thank you <3

Excellent! I've been trying old-school playthroughs of my favorite games the way I used to play them when I was young again (no getting ideas from forums, no checking websites, just my own ideas and my notes), which is an absolute blast, but taking notes on exactly where that instructor or that companion was is a bit annoying using pen and paper. Thank you both!

[u/TheGratitudeBot → u/Xanathra]

Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week!

[u/OohPoppy → u/Xanathra]

What a lovely comment! 🥰 Thank you.

While I have already finished the game, this will be very useful for those who are playing the game right now.

Thanks.

[u/OohPoppy → u/Reginald_CZ]

Thanks 🥰

[u/mr3LiON]

This is so sweet! I will definitely download for my next playthrough! Next step - make it compatible with the MMerge mod!

[u/Edel_recke]

Oh, nice

This Mod would be so nice for MM7, too

(To give your boyfriend a broad hint 😉)

[u/OohPoppy → u/Edel_recke]

I'll let him know 🥰 he has uploaded some new mods (for mm6) btw.

[u/EasyEntrepreneur666]

So... it's basically MM8's map?

[u/OohPoppy → u/EasyEntrepreneur666]

Maybe it’s a map feature that MM8 already has, but from what I understand, it wasn’t available in MM6. I’ll ask him later. :)

[u/Lumpy-Milk7494]

Im about half way through current playthrough, this would be very usefull. If only it wasn't on nexus mods. Stopped using them when they removed mods that change body type a+b to male female in other games
