Wow, got this and played the first three levels of Soulblighter on my own. Never played the original but it seems like a bunch of fun. Hopefully tomorrow night there'll be some co-op games on PlayMyth as that will be my last chance to play online for a while, wish I could wait up tonight but can't.

Thanks for the plug; it will give me something to do in my time of necessity enforced offlineness.

It don't work none

It prolly doesn't recognize the plugin, i.e. I can select and play it but nothing changes. When I check "myth_log.txt" after starting up a game with the "Magma - Five Legends TFL" and "Magma - The Fallen Levels v2" plugins, I get the following ending lines:

Starting mesh "Crow's Bridge" with 1 plugins...
Magma - The Fallen Levels v2
Quitting single player game...
Closing Myth...

It should say 2 plugins and list both, right? (The Quit btw is my Quit.)

Oh, and I don't know what "Food for the Crows", is but that just doesn't run altogether, I get a whole bunch of data corrupted's:

Starting mesh "|iFood for the Crows|p" with 1 plugins...
Magma - Five Legends TFL
Error: Data Corrupted in .\Myth 2\definitions.c, line #593: tried to read non-existant (i.e., NONE) collection definition

Error: Data Corrupted in .\Myth 2\definitions.c, line #584: mesh definition postprocess failed on '101 crows bridge'.

Error: Data Corrupted in .\Myth 2\definitions.c, line #499: couldn't read header for sound definition '01wt'.

...

Error: Data Corrupted in .\Myth 2\definitions.c, line #584: artifact definition postprocess failed on 'bow of stoning'.

Closing Myth...

I downloaded it a second time to be sure that it wasn't a botched download, to no avail.

I am playing my Myth II in 1.4.3 mode (for movie compatibility reasons) and my local folder is empty.

Oh my, ... :embarassed:

It seems I need to make a correction here. I assumed (yeah I know) that the plugin altered the original levels while in fact it creates a new set of levels.

This new insight has changed my view on the problem somewhat. "Magma - Five Legends SB" now works as intended (good fun) but my problem with "Food for the Crows", and subsequently "Magma - Five Legends TFL" remains (the corrupted error messages).

Could my problems be patch related?

No ... somehow the meshes TFL plugin got corrupted :\ I've made a new plugin and triple-checked that it works right, and have uploaded a replacement zip file. Sorry for the inconvenience ... Murphy's Law strikes again.

Edit: The Five Legends SB plugin is unaffected, so if that's all you're interested in then there's no need to re-download.

Theres been a 5 legends thingy on your hotline server for ages and I never had any problems with it :O

How easy would it be to make this a 5 legends..but with dark unit heros instead?

teepens · Post by **teepens** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 2:03 pm

very easy... if you wanted to keep all the opposing undead as well

Would have to move and rescript a lot of soulless, and to mention countless that thralls and wights that start underwater.

Opposing dead are fine..I just thought is would be neat to play a souless, fetch, myrms and a ghol.
Just a dream..it wouldn't catch on.

Heh, I'd like some form of explosives launcher so I could cb

I could probably do that in a couple of hours and I don't even make maps. Do u have Fear and Loathing installed? I could explain what u need 2 do in about 10 lines worth of text.

U wouldn't need to move thrall in a Dark heroes vs. Light map. U could just click 'is undead' in the Fear monster tag (or wherever it's hidden) and he could go underwater. A wight replacement would be hard, what about a suicide peasant?
