Looking for some gameplay footage (newbie lvl)? https://youtu.be/tOZukyDUVeQ https://youtu.be/uWU-HCR7Y0U https://youtu.be/qRhdiDcGzUs https://youtu.be/tGu93Ha5XQ8 Things to know: - Masterserver is down - its 32-bit game - it has community though! My laptop specs: - Thinkpad T480 - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz - Win11 Pro 64-Bit Fresh Start: 1. Download "fresh" copy of the game from Steam or anywhere else, but I won't help with that... 2. Uninstall Media folder from game directory ((...)/Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Messiah Might and Magic Multi-Player). The intro videos might crash the game on startup with "out of memory" error. 3. Add server ips to favorites: ```89.169.53.224:27015 72.81.222.235:27016 72.81.222.235:27017 72.81.222.235:27018 ``` 4. Join the server or GD session. 5. Voila, it works or should be working. 6. I encourage everyone to create own sessions, we had monthly Saturday game nights at 8pm UTC+1, but feel free to choose any other date. 7. Please dont forget to vote in demand ranking! :) **Additional resources:** **Troubleshooting:** https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830060155 - fix crashes in Dark Messiah #1 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=307579490 - fix crashes in Dark Messiah #2 https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/ - .exe crash fix https://www.jozefdekkers.nl/blindneroforums/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=2&sid=c9e13c37876ee0749d437f21b26446bb - 60 fixes for Dark Messiah (whole forum is gold) https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dark_Messiah_of_Might_and_Magic - PC gaming wiki overall page https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2038317934 - optional game launcher (dunno if it still works) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940045579 - Priestess Die taunt fix **Custom maps:** https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-SZ1BnRlFdQbUl0VUIzeDdzZ28?resourcekey=0-TTXdBTKbnWeGaLFyOV2GNw **Mini crusade maps - MP2, MP4** https://archive.org/details/mini_mp2_mp4.7z **Shield template** https://drive.google.com/file/d/16uS1f8BjBmIUme8rVwJrCBd5Oo8Xjpeg/view?usp=drive_link **Game sounds Taunts modification** https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A4Pj8R7icZ4q3l5ObzkIhxTkjf0I5Cbv/view?usp=drive_link **GOG Preservation Program:** https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/?title=dark%20messiah&show_only_unreleased=1&sort=relevance&order=desc **Dark Messiah Singeplayer RTX Project from wiltOS Technologies** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZOjf9muJ0k **Dedicated server setup:** **NATIVE:** https://gist.github.com/xeloth12/94be640d7ace7cf3268e3844f21b023d (guide has packages with admins setup in Dark Messiah Might and Magic Dedicated Server\addons\sourcemod\configs\admins_simple.ini - change it to your liking) archive: https://rentry.co/g7hvqufq **SERVER SCRIPTS:** https://codeberg.org/xelot/dm_server **FASTDL** https://github.com/xeloth12/fastdl **DOCKER (feel free to contribute):** https://github.com/xeloth12/dark-messiah-mp-docker https://hub.docker.com/r/xloth/dark-messiah-mp-docker **AlliedModders - sourcemod community** https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=1707558&postcount=4 -ancient server cfg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI_yI3Z3Tm0&list=PLJRX9My-tdNc6vw2Y7hXHeQnrEdK0Hw-c - overall sourcepawn tutorial **Master Server implementation:** https://github.com/opele/simpleMasterServer **OnwardsDM website:** https://onwardsdm.com/index.php **Old articles/pages:** https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dark-messiah-of-might-and-magic-updated-qanda-developer-chat/1100-6157768/ - Q&A with developers https://web.archive.org/web/20160901234317/http://forums.ubi.com:80/showthread.php/245730-MP-The-way-things-work-damages-durations-myths-ect - game strats https://www.gopetition.com/signatures/about-dark-messiah-update.html - petition https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_Dark_Messiah_of_Might_and_Magic_console_commands_and_variables - game cvars https://web.archive.org/web/20140408012609/http://www.hammer-tutorial.com/en/index.html - hammer tutorial **Backlog ideas:** - porting xbox multiplayer maps from Dark Messiah Elements to pc version - yeah I dont know how to extract .bfm xbox specific game archives - fixing Helms Deep map so it could be downloadable, one of the solutions https://web.archive.org/web/20080224001627/http://forum.interlopers.net/viewtopic.php?t=8897 **Communities:** https://discord.gg/Vq7A3JKkJe - yes I know...
