Adding objects in the editor !
Hi ! Look at this ! I did it for static object, why not NCF CREATURES THEN ?
(I don't know if it will work. It is to try.)
I'm doing a MOD that will allow you top place objects Nival hide because of no continue.
Maybe further, it is the way to re-integrate NCF into the NCF editor...

I admire your passion for the editor.
I gave up this program a long time ago.
It is too badly coded. 
However, it's super if you can to put inside completly new objets as static ones.
Ya, may be a little hope about NCF 
Your work about this will surly be important when "geometry world" will be fully discovered.

Strange...

Try with NCFs slots before 300. It should work.

The Map Editor is supposed to have a NCF exe just like the game itself. Patch 3.1's update didn't include one. I'm no expert and haven't looked into this, but I think the NCF editor needs to be hacked too if you want creatures above slot 300 to show up.

=> I try with higer than 300 and it crash each time I click on the icon. And when I try with a lower than 300, when I select "Monsters" in the list to right, it crashes in listing...
I belive it is not possible finally 
PS : Also, I found a way to use buildings of the towns interiors (like the Arcane Forge of the academy) and place it as a dwelling. See yourself :
Maybe a new generation of NCF dwelling, Sim ?

You know, since the map .xdb is text, you can always do it manually with Notepad and not with the Editor... so if it's really impossible with the Editor at least you can place them manually.

the discoveries which you make are impressive.
you succeeded fixing an one year old bug by well putting object in the map serving for dwelling.

Already the NCF Editor 3.0 version crashed after slot 300.
Nobody knows why. however the bug's solution must be known before to hack for 3.1
H5's RMG crashs with NCF Game.exe (3.0 or 3.1). Nobody knows why too.
I think the editor's bug is unfixable as the RMG's bug.
but I can be mistaken.

Long shot, but maybe the (still unupdated) NCF Editor's "creature limit" is still set to 300, just like that of the original NCF framework

Not so far as I know since I once set a creature to slot 280 with the old Editor and it worked without a hitch.
Or do you mean that patch 3.1's new NCF exe is conflicting with the 3.0 NCF exe? Because that's... weird

no I mean that NCF Editor 3.0 has already a bug with some creatures under 300. I dont remember anymore exactly which ones but there are some.
the problem is not directly the creature but more its "number" slot...binary conflict in the exe....
It's my theory.
I'm ready to hack the Editor 3.1 for slot 499 limit if I know the reason of bug and how to fix it.

It's not a new. This concept is known since Tapani's RMG.
and "the stupid Military Posts" is the ultimate method to get new dwelling.
the most important is the "new" models.
I think mechanic about Military Posts will stay.

And why would you want to replace dwellings anyway when you can just add new ones?
Anyway, good luck with the slots problem SimonaK. Maybe ask Sfidanza about it, since he's the one who hacked the first exe.

Nobody wants to replace dwelling!
This project is about creation of totally new personal dwelling for NCFs.
I'm not working about the editor's bug. I investigate my time in others projects.
Sfidanza knows this bug very well. TSoD has already wrote to him to ask to try to fix it.
I think sincerely he will not fix it because he knows it's unfixable.

This guy spoke about the "mechanic" in xdb file (AdvMapDwellingShared) to spawn a new object in the game....
the trick is cloning a Military Posts AdvMapDwellingShared xdb file to get a total new dwelling.
I don't know why tihs guy doesn't like this trick. It's so far the best one to obtain a new dwelling.

It's true because using clone of the "Military Posts" (AdvMapDwellingShared) to spawn new dwellings
doesn't disturb actual dwellings.
