Senf: I am running Might&Magic 6 (Gog-version...... :]) on Windows 7. I don't like the controls very much.
Has somebody used a tool that can change the keys that works with Windows 7 he or she can recommend?
Arkose: Install
GrayFace MM6 Patch and use its MM6 Controls addon. You can then set the controls outside the game.
The GrayFace patch also adds a mouse look mode (set MouseLook to 1 in mm6.ini after running the game with GrayFace); setting AlwaysStrafe to 1 will make left and right movement do strafing instead, so between the two you can get the game set up with a modern WASD+mouse look sort of control scheme. The mouse look cursor can be changed by editing data\MouseLookCursor.bmp (e.g. I changed mine to a small crosshair). Caps Lock toggles between mouse look and cursor mode so you can still fully interact with the interface; inventory screens etc. automatically switch to a normal mouse cursor and most interface features have a keyboard equivalent so manual switching is only occasionally necessary.
Note that you'll need to make a minor tweak to get music working with GrayFace: edit mm6.ini after running the game with GrayFace and set PlayMP3 to 1, then make a new folder called Music and move 2.mp3 to 16.mp3 there from the Sounds folder. After that the music will work again.
Can you please give me a step by step how to? And I mean the key mapping. I tried and screw up my comp. thanks.
