Hmmm... For Windows, I know you have to (retaining directory tree) compress them into a file (.zip works fine) and then rename the file to .h5m.

Edited by Guarder at 10:09, 08 Jun 2008.

three questions...

1:How do I change a pic of a hero, the music, etc. so the stuff would be on every map? I think i have a theory, but i'm not sure.

2:How do i make a good recolouring? one that i don't use 5 hours on one recolouring pixel for pixel...


3: which creatures anim are going where on a heroes animation, i tried this before, but in combat and moving on adv map, it looked like "Jesus on the cross"

No need for 1 and 2, i figured it out by myself, but i still have problems with 3, can anyone help me with that?

Hey, uhhh... does anyone know if it's possible to make it so that certain defaulted game Campaigns and Custom Scenarios can be taken out? (Or at least just not show up in the menus) Because for HoMMC, I want it to just show my Campaigns. Any suggestions?

Shipyard (in town)

Hello people

I've a little question that has been annoying me lots of times.

I want to have an in-town shipyard, that works (so doesnt give the, "there are no workers" error ingame) I've been trying lot's of ways how to make it work, and still keep the background pretty... but no luck. i was wondering if anyone could help me make this shipyard work.

(here's a litle shot of the situation:
[url=http://img56.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotshipyardprobgx3.jpg]Screeny[/url]

So the question is: Does anyone know how to make the In-town shipyard work, aswell as keeping the part of the map (see Screenshot) nice to look at.


-Thanks for your attention

LordLuther

I believe you need to place a water ramp nearby so the ship had a place to land actually.

You should find it in your own editors help...

Al in all, just find  a ramp tool in the terrain objects and use it.

Sorry, no idea what the problem could be there.  As long as you have the solution you should be fine though

Absolutely, though it requires permanent editing of the data.pak file (so make a backup or two).  Just delete or otherwise remove all folders from data.pak\Maps\SingleMissions.

Well, I'm not sure.  First off, it's packed into a folder named AzureDragonmod (or something) - you need to remove this folder and place the folders inside it directly into the .zip.

The .zip also needs to be a .pak.  As for the programming, you're on the right track but most of it is bugged and you're missing some things.  Try downloading one of Radar's NCF mods and work from there (his ones are usually one creature only)

If you're still stuck after that I'll try to help out more.

Can someone help me to locate one file

I tried to create an NCF creature by using the beta treant.

I found that there are actually two character files associating with DendroidSoldier:

DendroidSolder.(Character).xdb and DendroidSoldier_rooted.(Character).xdb

I did successfully locate the file which points to DendroidSolder.(Character).xdb. However, I couldn't find any files which mention the name of DendroidSoldier_rooted.(Character).xdb. As a result, I created an NCF DendroidSoldier which can transform while using the skill to take roots...

Great thx for anyone who might help me to mod DendroidSoldier_rooted.(Character).xdb related files.

So apparently you're a "newcomer" in the wonderful world of modding now yche, how's that working out

There have been problems with getting the beta Treant's rooting animations to work since day one.  I think the story is if you enable the root animations, the death animations become bugged, and since the death animations are more essential than the root ones it's best not to give them the root ones at all - so, in short, you'd be better off not giving the new Treants the Take Roots ability.

Hope you understood that

the main file is CreatureName.xdb. then , follow the links.
from what I remember, whatever creature which takes root is transformed in a treant.

I gave the "take root" animation to a brawler and he transformed in treant, while his character file isn't linked to the treant model.

Quote:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Character ObjectRecordID="1000100">
<Model href="DendroidSoldier_rooted.xdb#xpointer(/Model)"/>
<ArenaAnimSet href="DendroidSoldier_rooted-arena.xdb#xpointer(/AnimSet)"/>
<AdvMapAnimSet/>
<ColourModels/>
</Character>

it's DendroidSoldier_rooted.(Character).xdb
for some reason it isn't linked to the ancient treant files (or I missed it) maybe it's something hard coded, which is used when you click on defend and the creature has the "take root" ability.

whatever, it seems you can replace the link to the model (I guess you shouldn't do it if you don't want to modify the existing treant)
you'll probably have to change the animset too.

To Cepheus: I didn't notice that the death animation becomes bugged...what I found is that the roots animation can not co-exist for both Treants...Can you tell me briefly how the death animation file is affected by roots animation file.If the visual affection is really serious, i am sure not to include that ability.

I carefully checked the data.pak. I did find the file which mentioned the DendroidSoldier_rooted.(Character).xdb. That file is located in data.pak\Roots\roots.xdb. I didn't understand the structure and index of this file. Can someone explain something about the file..

To Fauch: your finding is what I also face with.As I said that the file (DendroidSoldier_rooted.(Character).xdb) does not seem to be defined in CreatureName.xdb...It is really difficult to reconcile beta treant and treant in game within the ncf platform.

I don't remember where the discussion was (somewhere in this forum, I think Sfidanza was involved), but I think the problem was that enabling roots just seems to prevent the death animation from working - if it dies with roots active, the beta Treant goes into an inanimate position (i.e. static, arms outstretched) and then disappears.  Looks awful.

There could be a way to fix it, but we spent a long time looking through the files and couldn't find one.
