for Heroes, the way is same that for creatures.

except, for heroes the majority of informations is directly concentred in the AdvMapHeroShared file
instead of the GameMechanics for creatures.

here the path for campaign Godric model:

data.pak/MapObjects/Haven/Godric.(AdvMapHeroShared).xdb

by opening it, you can see a <Model> tag and in the middle of the file, 3 tags representing the appearance models
of the hero from the map or in the arena.

<Model href="/_(Model)/Heroes/Knight_LOD.(Model).xdb#xpointer(/Model)"/>

<HeroCharacterArena href="/Characters/Heroes/Godric.(Character).xdb#xpointer(/Character)"/>
<HeroCharacterArenaMelee href="/Characters/Heroes/Godric_Strike.(Character).xdb#xpointer(/Character)"/>
<HeroCharacterAdventure href="/Characters/Heroes/Godric_LOD.(Character).xdb#xpointer(/Character)"/>

that's link to Godric models (Characters), naturally....

it's enough to change the models here to have a new appearance to the hero on the map.

you can put anything, all being known as being a model, as a rock, tree...creatures..angel, etc etc

Thank you SimonaK, it works!!

How do you modify character movement on the adventure map?

I replaced the heroes appearance with many creatures, but they don't have walking animation on the adv map or sometimes casting/shooting animation on the battle map.

Most of the creatures don't have move animation on the adv map, showing akward movement.

I know some Haven units have movement animation, but it seems that other factions dont have that.

Is there a way to set character movement animation because they do have walking animation on the battle map?

If not, is there a way to set teleport animation for heroes on the adv map?

Where can you find that move animation with wing of angel?

Or can you modify somewhere in xxxx.(AdvMapHeroShared).xdb in map object folder such that a hero has that flying ability without having "wing of angel"?

You can learn the ID yourself, the hero has one for sure, all do. I don't have the mod you speak about so I can't tell you exactly, but here is how to find out:

- Find the main mod data pak, it must be in the data folder or the UserMODs. Open the file with winrar last version.
- No you'll see few folders, you need to find the heroes files. In the normal heroes game they are in MapObjects/*Folder with the race name*, and there are many .xdb files with the scripts.
- Open the folder with heroes name, the mod have it's own, of they use old original heroes with changed names and textures. So soon or later you'll find it.
- In the hero's file search for the line <InternalName>. For example Lucretia, the vamp hero in Necropolis, has the line like this:

<InternalName>Tamika</InternalName>

This mean that in the console you need to use the name "Tamika".
