can we hear that in the lamens english version lank LOL. because of the way myth works, it would be remarkably complicated to implement - and it would open up an avenue for abuse by people outside the game to cause lag for players inside the game (by flooding the host with requests to see into the ...

luckily the observer movement of clients aren't sent to the host, but the host would have to distribute a film of the level to the current time (which the passive viewers would have to play at 16x speed to get up to date) and distribute player commands (and possibly chat) continuously to the possibl...

"UV Maps"? What does that mean?
UV mapping is a way of projecting textures onto a mesh. points with coordinates (X,Y) on the texture are given coordinates (U,V) that correspond to the geometry of the mesh, more or less.

i believe all units appear as red-bordered in replays these days. once upon a time team 0 would appear as blue and other teams red in films.

Re: Attacks appearing on the attacker

So I've got this unit that is attacking groups of troops from a distance. The attack makes quite a big local projectile group for the effect I want, and it uses a really low recovery/high repetition rate like the mahir melee attack. Just about every time the enemy units die, this attacker's attack ...

it sounds like you might have done a net only install by mistake. hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction, because i can't remember what file tells myth it's a net only install. iirc, you need only delete that file and myth will work for single player as normal.

without having seen the film, a possible cause is that ranged units leading their targets don't take the vertical component of motion into account. so i suspect if the ghols were moving on flat ground and the dwarf were at the same elevation relative to them, it would have thrown with the same traje...

if you've installed 1.6 into c:\program files\myth ii\ but you've moved the contents elsewhere, that explains why it isn't running. you need to install the update into the same folder as the game is running from.

for a long time (i.e. until 1.4 or 1.5) retreat basically didn't work at all, and simply did the same as scatter. it is a hard-coded function in the engine, and it is now designed to make your retreating units run away from the "centre of mass" of enemies within a certain range, if i remem...
