Your report here will do. Whether the plugin will be updated to fix that is unknown at this point. Remember that you don't actually need that blood to play the level and beat it. You will just need to wander around a bit more.

To be able to play levels you haven't unlocked yet, you can hold Shift when clicking on New Game or hold shift when clicking on the mapset you are on. To auto-win a single player map you can use ctrl + during the game. (And ctrl - to auto-lose.) If you go to preferences, you will find a "?" button. Click on it. The Myth2 help document it opens has a section on key combos that are new or altered in 1.8.0.

I absolutely loved the detail mega pack...I was wondering tho since Jon God did such a great job detailing the maps, shouldn't we now detail the characters as well? ;) that'd be awesome!
Thank you all for keeping one of the greatest Mac games ever created, alive.

If you are talking about the sadly misnamed 'HD' unit tagset, it is a Myth II plugin so treat it like any other Myth II plugin - unzip it and put the unzipped plugin (not the folder the file) in your Myth II plugins folder. Make it 'active' before you start a game.

I know it's off track, but that picture of the "HD" units is one of the funniest myth related pictures ever. The warrior drag queen is probably my favorite, although the evil clown wight comes in a close 2nd.

It turns out that Myth 1.8 crashes hard without a Mac OS crash dialog when a player bails out of a hosted game when using the CWR Civil War 1.72 plug and the CWR Field of Battle map pack. Not that anyone is left to pay attention to these details LOL

I remember the cross-dressing warrior but not his potato hand.

btw, though I am not a unit maker/3d-modeler I really respect the amount of work and skill that goes into unit making. That said, I never understand why some people post pictures designed to show off their creations when the pictures themselves undercut the intended effect. In this case from what I heard, pretty much everyone agreed the high resolution units looked pretty impressive, but those promo shots were just ridiculous.

No need to answer, and not aimed at you Road, just thinking out loud.

They do look a lot better, just not too close up. The program that they had to suffer with is not an easy one to use and is very outdated. Without making them all from scratch in a whole different program they wont get too much better than that... at least from my limited experience trying to use that format.
