Might & Magic III: Isles Of Terra Game Editor Modules
Modules #1-#6 by D.Melanson
Based on U.G.E. 1.0 by Hartman Utilities
Might & Magic III: Isles Of Terra has recently been re-released by
New World Computing in a special CD package called "Might And Magic Trilogy"
(Naturally, in true Douglas Adams fashion, it therefore contains four games).
Much like Clouds, Darkside, and Swords of Xeen, Isles of Terra is a multi-
character, 1st-person perspective, turn-based action game. The code is
not optimized for processor speed, so the animation may look like it's
running at hyperspeed with today's processors, but it is a good game none-
theless. This series of UGE modules will enable users to modify a great
many features of Might & Magic III...
Might & Magic III has 30 character slots available. Your characters
are probably NOT characters #1-6, however, so I've made the program
capable of modifying all 30 slots. Slots 1-20 are available for pre-
generated and player-generated characters, while slots 21-30 are hirelings
you will run into at various places throughout the game.
For those of you unfamiliar with my previous UGE module work,
check out my home page at http://www.ici.net/customers/overkill/overkill.htm
and choose the "UGE Page" option. There you'll find modules for many
RPG, and even a couple action/sports games. I charge no fees for these
modules, but I do ask that anyone who uses them register UGE with Jack
Hartman-it's a good program, and well worth the investment.
To use a module, follow UGE's instructions on Adding a new module.
The module names are isles.mdl, isles2.mdl, isles3.mdl, isles4.mdl,
isles5.mdl, and isles6.mdl. The file you want to modify is named SAVEXX.
MM3, where XX is a two-digit number (usually 00). The modules affect
six different areas of the saved game: See below for details.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Might & Magic 3 has an error-checking routine in
its programming that is designed to limit game editing. This is the file
labelled "mm3.cur" You'll note it's the same size as your saved game file.
Whenever you make a change, be sure to execute the following command:
copy saveXX.mm3 mm3.cur
from the DOS command prompt (once again, XX is a number, usually 00);
otherwise the game will most likely crash the first time you enter combat.
MODULE 1: Stats, Condition, Miscellaneous:
With this module, you can, for each of the 30 character slots
available, change the following: Character Name, Alignment (useful for
if you're accidentally turned "Evil," 0=Good, 1=Neutral, 2=Evil),
modify your base levels for all 7 statistics, change your character's
level, remove any unnatural aging (set this field to 0 to remove it),
remove curses, heart break, weakness, poison, disease, insanity, being in
love (??), drunkenness, being unnaturally asleep, depression, confusion,
paralysis, or unconsciousness. You can even resurrect your character
from the dead, turn yourself back to normal from stone, and even remove
eradication! You can also modify your current Hit Points, Spell Points,
and Experience Points. (You can't modify MAXIMUM HP/SP directly, as that's
calculated based on level and statistics).
In addition, this module allows you to modify a few other game
features. With it, you can change the time of day with the field
"Min. Past Midnight." For example, the game starts at 8:00 a.m., or 8
hours past midnight...to set this time, your Minutes Past Midnight would
be set at 480 (8 hrs x 60 mins/hr). You can modify how much food you have
in the party (to calculate how many days this number equals, figure each
character eats 3 food "packs" a day, so a 6-character party with 180
"packs" of food eats (6x3=18) a day, and therefore can go 10 days on it)
You can modify how much gold and how many gems you have both in the party
and in the bank (how do 6 characters carry around a billion gold? Who
knows? Who cares?) You can also teleport literally anywhere in the game
with the four fields Direction Faced (which direction you face...0=North,
1=South, 2=East, 3=West), your X and Y positions on the map (check your
Automap in the game to see what I mean...it's the numbers down the bottom),
and Location (which determines what area you're in...a list of available
areas is found below in Table 1).
MODULE 2: Skills & Resistances:
With this module, you can, for each of the 30 character slots,
give yourself any of the 18 available skills (yes, you can have a
Paladin with Thievery)...to enable a skill, set its appropriate field
to a value of 1. You can also modify the levels of your natural
resistances to Fire, Cold, Electricity, Poison, Energy, and Magic.
MODULES 3, 4, 5, and 6: ITEMS:
With these 4 modules, you can modify all 18 of each character's
inventory slots. Module 3 modifies slots 1-5, Module 4 modifies slots
6-10, Module 5 modifies slots 11-15, and Module 6 modifies slots 16-18.
Unlike any of the Xeen games, the inventory items can have more than one
modifier. In the Xeen games, you had a Blazing Short Sword. Or an Iron
Short Sword. Or a Short Sword of Might. But you NEVER had a
Blazing Iron Short Sword of Might, because that's just the way the save
file was designed. In Isles of Terra, each item can have up to FOUR
modifiers...so yes, with these modules, you can indeed have a Scorching
Obsidian Photon Two-Handed Sword of Implosions with 63 charges (insert
extremely manly grunt here).
Each individual item slot consists of 6 individual fields:
Cond=Condition. This field serves a dual purpose. If the item
has a special POWER (see Pwr, below), this indicates number of charges (or
number of uses) available for that power. This can be set from 0-63 to
indicate charges (63 is the maximum number of charges any item can hold).
The second purpose of this field is to indicate whether or not the item is
damaged in some way. If the field has a value of 64-127, the item is
Cursed (and can be un-cursed by setting the field to 0...or up to 63 if
there is a Special Power that the item possesses). If the field has a
value of 128 or higher, the item is Broken (and can be similarly fixed by
setting the value to 0-63). Saves a lot on Temple and Blacksmith expenses,
doesn't it?
Elem=Elemental Power. You can give each item an elemental power.
If the item is a weapon, this adds elemental damage in addition to the
weapon's normal damage to any attack. With any other item, this field adds
a resistance to a particular type of elemental attack. See Table 2 below
for a list of available elemental powers.
Mat=Material. You can modify what material the item is made from.
If the item is a weapon, this adds to the normal physical damage the weapon
causes. If the item is anything else, this adds to the Armor Class bonus
the item grants you when equipped. See Table 3 below for a list of
available Material types.
Atr=Attributes. Any item can modify any of your attributes when
equipped, if this field is set. See Table 4 below for a list of available
Attribute modifiers.
Type=Item Type. Obviously, this determines what type of item the
item in the particular slot is. See Table 5 below for a list of available
Item Types.
Pwr=Special Power. Usually, this indicates the spell-equivalent
that an item can cast when USED. WARNING: If the Cond field is 0 when you
USE an item with a special power, the item will cast it one last time, and
then be disintegrated...so keep track of how many times you use it!!
(Note: With the Cond field, you can reset the charge values back up high
again with very little trouble) See Table 6 below for a list of available
Special Powers.

Well, that's about it on how to use this module. Hope it proves
useful in your quest across the Isles of Terra. If you have logical,
non-rambling, non-written-by-a-six-year-old-with-an-overprotective-and-
altogether-idiotic father questions, comments, or whatever, send 'em to
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., but PLEASE...no requests. I don't have every game, and
not every game is editable. Those of you who are action fans...watch for
a module for Descent II VERY shortly after the game is released! Good
luck!
