Hi @Jakz and @rtentser ,

Found this project you guys had contributed to a while back and am wondering if it's still alive and well as I've seen a wee bit of activity a few months back but wasn't sure?

Also wondering do you have any sort of project website or community group where fans can keep up to date with your work? If so please let me know so I can share it with the community and also tribute you guys on my Master of Magic fan games tribute website.

I run a few MoM fan communities so if you guys are interesting in talking about your work or watching other rebuild attempts then feel free to come join the Master of Magic Discord that I help run. We recently created a MoM Reverse Engineering sub chat there as another fellow is working on a similar project to rebuild MoM and Civizard (the MoM playstation remake). I'm sure he'd love to talk to you guys!

Implode who made the Master of Magic HD Multiplayer remake over the last 15 years that's getting very complete now also lurks our discord too as he's still working away on MoM-IME (recently implemented working global AI and taught it to build roads in between trying to kill you lol!).

I found another group here on github who appear to have worked on a similar project called MoM-Clone (not related to the other MoM-clone project i nthe early 2000s lol) so I might go invite them too.

And finally I'm not sure how connected you guys are to the MoM fan community these days and MoM news but I also run a Facebook MoM group and help run the Discord I mentioned above. We try to keep up to date on all official and fan projects so if you've been missing out on all the good MoM news then come drop by! :)

For example Slitherine have purchased the MoM rights from Atari and are selling MoM on GoG & steam, and best of all appear to be working on a official MoM2 sequel!! They're super keen to get their hands on MoM's long lost source code and have expressed interest in rebuild projects too.. They started working with Caster of Magic creator Seravy and are now selling his MoM mod as an official addon! He too is currently rebuilding MoM from the ground up (except he's using his 10-15 years of hacking every part on MoM to rebuild it super quick) and is making a Caster of Magic 2 which he's already posting public alphas over at the Realms Beyond MoM forum. Slitherine have also made a new official Master of Magic forum too. I actually made a thread there telling them about all the source possibilities and rebuild projects I knew and included yours.

I think that's all the good stuff haha.. Hope to see you guys in the communities some time if you're not already there as your knowledge and experience of tinkering with MoM files would be most welcome. :)

@rtentser hey creator or contributor, it doesn't matter to me. If you're someone that took the time to work on a project like this then you are more than welcome to join our community. Your work on such a thing deserves instant respect and we'd love to hear more about it. Plus your knowledge of tinkering with mom files and replicating mom behavior etc would invaluable in discussions (particularly in the MoM Discord Reverse Engineering convo) as like I said above there's a few projects out there doing the same thing as this one. Since posting my above message I successfully got Seravy (creator of Caster of Magic and doing his own rebuild of MoM atm for CoM2) to join and having both him and Implode (creator of MoM-IME) in the same chat area throwing around ideas is quite the MoM think tank happening haha.

Anyway if all this is of no interest to you guys anymore then all good.. I had to try haha. :)

I have no knowledge, man. Iirc, i've just fixed some case errors in #includes.

Hope @Jakz'll join you. It always better to combine efforts, i think. Are other projects open-source, @Blakeley00?

Yes I believe Jim's current MoM reverse engineering project is operating out of here:

Another fellow named Joes has also appeared on the Discord MoM reverse engineering channel to announce his similar work and he mentions several other people doing similar work too so it looks like there's a few projects going on!

Just a quick update for you guys ( @Jakz & @rtentser ).. Jim's opensource MoM reassembly project in the Master of Magic Discord reverse engineering area has gotten quite far now so here's some links if of interest..
