[Point]

When zooming out, to the extreme level enabled now by 1.8.2b2, beyond a certain leve of zoom out, edges of the viewable area are all stretched out and broken.

re: map edge flair ... does the mesh/map have raised mesh edges?

Thanks for the report, we'll fix it for the final.

Just wondering if a health selection preference could be enabled to change gameplay? I've brought this up before. In years past, there was a rumor that selecting 'legendary' in multiplayer mode would increase units' resistance to damage. This is not true. For those of you who have ever played N64's Goldeneye or Perfect Dark, once you unlock the 4th difficulty level, you get the ability to alter the enemy's hit points. You can make them super weak (any sort of damage results in a death) or make them super tough where you have to shoot them 50 times before they will die.

I would LOVE if something simple like this was adapted to Myth gameplay. I would want something that provides a range of 0% (Where a unit will die from the slightest damage such as thrall debris left over after fighting, or flying debris) to a range of 1000% where units can take 10x the amount of damage as normal. I think it would make a great tool for changing gameplay elements (that could then potentially be adapted into tournament usage). I'm sure this could be done via a plugin, but if there was a standard mode included with a Patch that would make it even better.

Also, King of the Map (KOTM) was an additional gameplay mode that was introduced in regards to flag tagging, could you also make one for Captures? e.g. "King of the Bacon?" I know a select few maps utilize a ball for KOTH currently, but not many and its only one ball.

There is a plugin for that.

Great, works like a champ now on three different Macs running OS10.10, 10.11 & 10.12

Okay, I think I found what the problem was. Thanks everyone for reporting it.

I've posted a new version of the Mac installer that should have the issue fixed. Please try it out and confirm whether it works correctly now. Thanks!

Project Magma is proud to announce that the second public beta of Myth II version 1.8.2 is now available.

Public Beta 2 fixes some issues found in the first 1.8.2 beta. You can check the updated readme for all the details.

Myth II 1.8.2 is an incremental update over Myth II 1.8.1, adding the ability to join co-op games after they have been started, a new and improved higher-resolution interface and a number of other improvements and bug fixes.

Download it here: http://tain.totalcodex.net/items/show/m ... lic-beta-2

To see the detailed list of changes, consult the ReadMe here: Readme_1.8.2_beta2.pdf

Everyone is encouraged to install the beta, and help test the next version of Myth II. We need your help to find any bugs, so that we can fix them before the final version.

Please post all bug reports regarding Myth II 1.8.2 in this thread.

Note: This beta is set to expire February 16th, by which time we expect to have the final version released.

I downloaded the file: right clicked and "show package contents" -- I replaced the myth 1.8.2 Public beta apps. and I copied my HD conversion plugins from my old- and put it in the new "required.zip" file that i unzipped.. and put it in my myth folder.. still get "insert CD" when i try to open the game.. have I broken my game? hehe

Can you check the data integrity of your game foundation files to rule that out at least? Read this thread to know how.

What was the last version of Myth2 that worked for you without this issue? What has changed since then? What happens if you download the 1.8.1 update and get the app from that. Does that version work?

re: map edge flair ... does the mesh/map have raised mesh edges?

I don't know. The map is River Town

If you need more specifics I can, but it seems like nearly every 3rd party plugin I used to be able to use a tagset on, no longer will work. It will crash every time (game doesn't load and goes right back to main menu). Its pretty much nearly any combination that used to work before.

Also, King of the Map (KOTM) was an additional gameplay mode that was introduced in regards to flag tagging, could you also make one for Captures? e.g. "King of the Bacon?" I know a select few maps utilize a ball for KOTH currently, but not many and its only one ball.

There is a plugin for that.

Yeahhh but more choices that are included standard is nice so that everyone is capable of playing it without use of a plug. How creative can the Myth engine handle if we all were to collaborate and present new gametype options? Like thinking outside the box and such.
