So back to an old problem, trying to make unit starting morale at +1 instead of +2.

1) The -1 morale script works fine but messes up gating! Gated units start at 0 morale(unlike normal demons that start at +2) so the script turns gated unit morale to negative(-1).

2) Changing demon faction from inferno to something else makes you unable to gate.

On to potential solutions!

- Has anyone found any gated creature files? Starting at 0 morale I can only assume that they are considered as neutrals so maybe changing their faction to inferno would do the trick. Or perhaps add bravery to them. Unless they are hardcoded?

- Changing demonlord faction from inferno to say dungeon might work as inferno armies under them would get a morale penalty while gated units might not(if they are indeed considered neutrals). But then demonlords would appear in dungeon instead of inferno! Any workaround?

- Is there a script that affects gated creature morale separately from normal demons? Or perhaps a script that affects inferno units separate from their hero? Because a hero morale script would affect normal and gated units alike.

- Is it possible to tweak the original conditions perhaps? The +2 starting morale comes from being led by native hero(+1) and all army being from the same faction(another +1). If I could assign one of the two from +1 to 0 that would also solve the problem.

working on project

Although not all my questions been answered, I'm slowly figuring some things out...

But I've got another question.
I'm making an 8 player map, and specifying which race is of which castle on map, so not to be random, depending on race chosen. I wanted to know...

.. can the map be made where any user going to play map can choose allies, or teams, during game setup? Or must I preset Teams in advance during map setup to allow teams?

Or must I accept, anyone playing on map, will be playing on an 8x player FFA no matter what?

Yes

iirc, the player can take a 8 Multi-player map in the "Create-phase" and can turn off how ever many A.I. factions they want down to only two players of desired. I think this is also true on a single-player map too but I'm not positive.

How does the hero melee attack work in the game files? For instance, the original values are:

                      <Melee>
       <HeroDamageLevel1>
<Item>2</Item>
<Item>1</Item>
<Item>0.8</Item>
<Item>0.5</Item>
<Item>0.3</Item>
<Item>0.2</Item>
<Item>0.1</Item>
<Item>0.01</Item>
</HeroDamageLevel1>
<HeroDamageLevel30>
<Item>12</Item>
<Item>9</Item>
<Item>6.5</Item>
<Item>4.5</Item>
<Item>3</Item>
<Item>2</Item>
<Item>1.5</Item>
<Item>0.15</Item>
</HeroDamageLevel30>
</Melee>

I assume that those values are damage modifiers towards tiers 1-8, yes? If so what is the level progression? If I increase the values of HeroDamageLevel30 and leave HeroDamageLevel1 as it is, will it increase the damage per level? What if I increase HeroDamageLevel1 while keeping HeroDamageLevel30 the same?

Back in the day, fiur had somehow unlocked some map editor functions. Things like particles, faction icons and so on.

Does anyone know how to unlock those? All I remember was that it was a simple copy paste.

I don't know where the mods are but in the mapobjects/ advmapobjectlink folders object appearance is dependant on following:

<HideInEditor>false</HideInEditor>

also answer to question from 26 nov is no.

So where would I find that line so that I can change it? From within the editor? From files elsewhere?

 I tried to find how to change heroes specialization, but failed to do so. In "data" folder there seems nothing, unless I want to change text of specialization. Is it possible to mod heroes specialization? 5.5 mod does it somehow, there must be a way, or it isn't as easy as modding things like creature stats etc.

a limited number of specs have parameters in the defaultstats.xdb, new specs must be scripted.

Is there a mod that turns arcane archer hood and cloak green? Or anyone interested in making one if it's not too much trouble?

I see cepheus had made one, anyone still have it?

I have started to create mod. I have a lot of experience about modding in several games and i want to use it for heroes 5. I can change many things about the game. I can edit creature abilities, attribuites, i can add new spells or remove existing spells, i can edit buildings requirements and costs, artifacts atttributes

BUT

Still i haven't found how to edit spells (i mean damage values or bonuses)

How can i edit the abilities and spells? I am looking for it.

vulcancolak most abilities are in defaultstats.xdb.
Spell files are in GameMechanicsSpellCombat_Spells and are divided by spell type.

I got a question as well for whoever knows the answer.

How do you calculate creature power ratings? What is the formula that is used when making NCF creatures for example ? Does anyone know what is the formula Nival used? Any advice on this will be appreciated.

Thank you i will go and try to find where is the defaultstats.xdb

I haven't started calculate things. I was just changing buildings costs, creatures stats and abilities. Changing abilities is second part is my work. First i need to remake everything -without doing any NEW things-, then i will start to deep calculations. Thank you so much.
