Maestro Mod for Might and Magic VII is based on original Rev4modR1 by BDJ and includes all his developments.
Improvements provided by Maestro Mod:
- New graphics
- 5 new races replacing old ones (drows, humans, drakes, high elves, orcs).
- New armor
- All items changed
- All creatures changed, modified and tweaked, many of them got summoning spells, new skills and resistances.
- All 9 classes are changed and gained their unique builds.
- Many other little changes.

From BDJ's MMRev4modR1 we've got:
- New quests
- Changed storyline
- New locations, changed non-used old ones
- Mini-bosses
- Dual class system. You can swap you class and learn new skills!
Higher resolution and better textures:
1) Unpack MMResTool027.zip into main game folder.
2) Run mmt_d3d_screen.bat - and you will patch the game under 1024x768. If you need another resolution - open BAT file with TXT editor and change numbers to whatever you want! Do not forget to make a copy of MM7.EXE before starting any manipulations.
3) Now you can play MM7 and MODs in higher resolution.
4) If you want to use better textures, use mmt_d3d_textures.bat. This patch works only with original MM7!!! In my MOD patch will occur you to meet invisible monstes! So use this file BEFORE you install the Maestro Mod.
5) If you converted the textures - you can then install and play the MOD.
6) Be sure your computer is strong enough! Bigger textures require a lot of memory to run properly. Probably you will need 512 or even 1024mb RAM to set things fine.

Patch v2.7.1!!!
http://mm7-maestro-mod.3dn.ru/load/1-1-0-18
Fixes crushes due to Meteor Shower spell
read how to install it! Sounds folder!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How to install:
(I) - You should install original MM7 game before installing the MOD. When you installed the game - you can install the MOD. It is rather simple! Instalation goes automatically like other program! Just use the same path to your MM7 game folder (example: D:Program FilesMM7) After all this moves clic NEXT> and installation will continue to copy new files. At the end there will option to automatically install NEW CLASSES in game. If you choose it - installer will do it automatical. (WARNING: new classes can be installed only under WIN32 and not newer than XP! Not working under WIN64 or VISTA!!!) - find another way how to install new classes (read below!).
(II) - Manual installation. If you've got some problems with aumatical installation - you can do it manually! It is not so hard!!! It is EASY!! Install Maestro MOD in random directory (example: c:MM7_TEMP). There you will find new folders and files in them. Just put these files in correct folder in your MM7 main game folder (replace ixisting ones). File NEW_CLASS.EXE should be putted in main folder (with MM7.EXE file). To install new classes manually - you should RUN NEW_CLASS.EXE from your MM7 main folder (it will patch MM7.EXE for new classes).
Do not forget to delete NEW.LOD inside your DATA folder in MM7.
The result of correct installation should be this message at the begining of NEW GAME:
If you see it - everything installed correctly and you can plat the MOD.
DO NOT USE YOUR OLD SAVED GAMES! THATS SO PITY BUT YOU SHOULDN'T CONTINUE THEM!
New Sprites included!
I hope this manual will help you much!
---------------------------
P.S. If you have troubles with NEW_CLASS.EXE (VISTA or WIN64). You can try the trick! Copy MM7.EXE and NEW_CLASS.EXE (2 files are needed) to another computer (a club, a friend, work, school..etc). And run pathcer from there!
If it still doesnt work. INSTALL MM7 THEN THE MOD. Dont install moks patch if you get an internal error

Greetings, all!
I've not yet played Might and Magic VII but was seriously considering doing so soon. I wasn't sure what was compatible with what; thus, I assumed I could only have one mod active at a time. (If the stuff below is compatible, post it here!)
There's the Greyface patch here:
https://www.gog.com/forum/might_and_magic_series/very_good_fan_patch_for_mandm_vii
BDJ's (Big Daddy Jim's) mod:
https://www.celestialheavens.com/forum/10/8194 (works)
http://www.mediafire.com/my%20files/bdjs (may work)
There's also Jeff Ludwig's patch:
http://www.jeffludwig.com/mm7/download.php
Others?
Thankee!

Looks like Ludwig's mod is built on top of Greyface's patch, for what it's worth.

I was curious whether Jeff Ludwig's mod worked with Greyface 2.0. Does it?

I'm not sure about 2.0 but the mod it self states it is built to work with Greyface's MM7 patch v1.61
also thanks for linking to this mod i may try it out myself and replay MM7 :D

Ludwig's mod does seem to work with Greyface 2.0.
I've just started a new game though, so if I run into any issues I'll post them here.

I went for BDJ's (Big Daddy Jim's) mod instead of Ludmeister's/Ludwig's mod since BDJ's seemed more comprehensive and not just a spawn mod. Lud's mod specifically said it was for those who 'loved' the MM7 combat and lots of respawns. I wasn't confident this was for me on my first time.

What do these mods do exactly? Is Grayface a mouse look mod?

McKay91: What do these mods do exactly? Is Grayface a mouse look mod?
Greyface fixes a number of bugs, graphical issues and allows for mouselook. If you install it, read through the Patch Notes and he links the registry file to activate mouselook (there is also one for MM8) and he also provides mm7.ini settings. I honestly played before patches existed, but this seems to be pretty criticial. And the mouselook is great. GREAT! I mean its unplayable without mouselook now.

I got greyface 2.0 and it works well, I'm on windows 10. Ludwig's mod supposedly works with greyface and the GOG version of the game. However, when I tried Ludwig's mod I was asked to insert the disk. Strange that no one else has mentioned this.

This is my favourite topic
Might and Magic seriesHere is thing i did for past time: merge of mm6, mm7, and mm8 on base of mm8 using MMExtension.
Download link (MMExtension, patch and Editor are included, game is not included): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cu6tlpkh99pw .. jMWfa?dl=0
Update 23.06.2018, use it if you've downloaded main files before: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v6bsucr1m5ck .. uQOfa?dl=0
Note: first launch after this update will take longer than usual.
How to install:
1. Install GOG version of Might and Magic VIII.
2. Install GrayFace's patch for MM8.
3. Unpack MMExtension and MMEditor files into MM8 folder.
4. Copy files from 'Game files' folder to MM8 folder, replacing existing.
5. First launch can take up to 15 mins, keep patience.
I did test only main stories and partially promotion quests, those should work right, other stuff can be buggy and requries feedback for fixing.
Known unfixed bugs/issues:
1. Win7 x64: some cutscenes can not be played in full screen mode, watch them in windowed mode. Did not notice it in Win XP x64 and Win 10 x64.
2. Some MM6 dungeons are glitchy in hardware game mode, use software mode for it (possible crashes while moving through doors).
3. One half of double-leaf doors in MM6 dungeons sometimes stays impassable, second part usually works fine.
4. Immediate interrupt of food-consuming party rest may lead to interface glitch.
---
5. Win 10: in some builds Grayface's Mouse look does not work, in that case find file 'MouseLookTmp.lua.off' inside '..ScriptsGeneral' folder, rename it to 'MouseLookTmp.lua', use backspace button to toggle it. Also, it may be useful if you experiencing problems with original mouselook, during usage of dgVoodoo.
Possible contributions if someone would:
1. Testing.
2. Repainting mm6/7 armors to fit mm8 dolls.
(video-example at 1:18 : https://youtu.be/lipriutf3SI (video a bit outdated, use dump(*table*) function to find new fields of structures)).
---
3. Write artistic and grammatically true text for win-game postcard.
Current contributions:
- Two elf females and woman from MM7 by J.M.Sower.
- Two elf males and man from MM7 by Albahr.
- MM7 and all MM6 characters by Jamesx.
- Two connective cross-continent questlines by Echo.
Localization:
This is english version based on GOG releases. I did external database to not get confused with all game files, i think, i can use it to automatically replace current files with other localization, send me your *.lod archives from game folder, so i can try to do it.
Existing localizations:
German: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/takm1tpdq5ur .. DX3va?dl=0
- Texts and mm6/mm7/mm8 audio.
Polish: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/579jr8x0gk6b .. WQQDa?dl=0
- Texts and mm7/mm8 audio. If mm6 sound localization eixist, send it to me, please.
Russian: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pqnrlq4h6gso .. MXo6a?dl=0
- Texts and mm6/mm7/mm8 audio.
- copy files in you '..Data' folder to apply localization.
Note:
These localizations were made mostly automaticly, and have not been tested enough yet. English texts were manually reviewed by Phobos, misspells and some quest descriptions were corrected, which stays in localizations, texts for new quests does not have existing translation, if you'll resolve some of this issues, please, share new texts here.
Tips:
1. At certain points of stories you will receive instructions about traveling to other continents and explanation of it's purpose.
2. Party can be filled up at start or durning gameplay by hiring random followers.
3. Game have weather effects (snow and rain), these are toggleable by new button in 'Controls' menu.
4. Simple way to achieve high resolution (provided by China community): https://www.celestialheavens.com/forum/10/16658
5. I've used Marcon Phoenix's world map for new game menu.
6. Game bolstering monsters to match them with high levelled parties, who have already finished one of continents, if this became gamebreaking or annoying - disable or adjust bolster in 'Controls' menu.
7. Use 'f4' button to switch windowed and fullscreen mode in game.
8. Music is disabled by default, to enable it: open file 'mm8.ini' via notepad, find line 'PlayMP3=0', change it to 'PlayMP3=1'.Hello.
