[MOD] Quicksilver IV

Hello everyone.

After installing H6 again and after long thinking I decited to continue my Quicksilver series which started in the year 2005.
My plans are:
Bring back 1-7 tier system
Little bit H3-like things (this was best HoMM for me)
Balancing
Creatures, spells, skills stats changed
Some (or more) retexturing.
Building requirements and cost changed
Dynasty weapons offline
All heroes available
And some other stuff which may come to my mind as always.

Don't know if everything will be possible, but I will try to do my best to achieve what I want.


INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1.download the file
2.put the file in your main game directory (it uses Data18.orc name, so if you have other mod, change it to Data19.orc or Data19+.orc if you have more mods. Or just backup any Data18.orc file you got and replace it with this one)
3.Play the game.
IMPORTANT: It works only with 1.8 version of original game. saved games may not work (the ones you played BEFORE applying patch). I'm not responsible if any dynasty bonuses wont work or you will lose them (but it shouldnt happen), apply patch on your own risk.


--------------Quicksilver 4.0.2.1---DOWNLOAD
Changes and Fixes:
Charismatic Leader 3 - gives 6 leadership
Diplomacy - Description tooltip fixed
Enlightenment - gives 33% more experience
Architect 1 - changed back to the original
Architect 3 - changed back to the original
Plunder/Sabotage Mine - both changed back to the original
Battle March - Description tooltip fixed
Flawless Assault - have 2 turns cooldown now
(mass)Heroism - last for 3 turns again
Intimidation - fixed cooldown
(mass) Stand your ground - lasts for 3 turns again, mass version even had 0 turn lasting.

Known unfixble (for now) bugs: entering Magic Meganery and Elemental Conflux is crashing the game.

ENJOY.

The editor is being improved atm but hard to tell how good it will be by the time it's done. I would be curious to see your vision and definitely all heroes available with dynasty weapons working offline. Return of the old tiers doesn't seem as crucial for me but.. it would certainly be fun.

BIGJOCKER, your aim is very admirable but  please don't waste any time yet!  YOu said they patches changed things like can't add custom .orc files, & presently I read on ubi forums that putting "/offline" at the end of the shortcut to the exe no longer works & that all sorts of people are losign their saves from the new ubi launcher ==> pretty big pointers there of what they want to do & what they don't want to do...[based on those things above, this may be my last post in this sub-forum]

best to wait till after 3rd or 4th expansion imo....but good luck in whatever you do.

I dont think Balance changes would be very productive at this time, seeing as the game is in the middle of being patched and balanced.

Also i dont think a tier 1-7 system would be preferrable in this heroes, eventho this would let you balance them and give them the skills you want.

You know my oppinion about offline dynasty weapons being avaiable fully unlocked, and that this is completely unfair towards people who do fairly work to unlock and upgrade their dynasty weapon.

For the rest i wish you good luck with your project

Looking forward to what you think could be improved
If you decide to modify the tier system to a 7 tier system will the units get different skills aswell or will you just tweak with numbers?

I am rather curious how the game would look if the units had 4 tiers, divided in 2-2-2-1. It might be a decent approximation of the old system with less stat editing for you.

In any case take a look, see what can be changed and let us know

Somehow after patching the game sometimes crashes (more like exits itself wothout warning), so I gues I'll have to reinstall it. After that I will need to test some things
The tier system will almost stay the same - can not change the core, elite, champion thing (I gues it's hardcoded), but I will tweak the numbers and abilities, and if possible change recruiting slots, so it will be something similar to oldschool tier system.
AND I have one very interesting idea, but can not opent it yet, because it's very reckless

Is it possible for you to mod the following :

1) all heroes are available when starting the game (instead of two)

2) all heroes get Blood/Tear points (instead of only the first)

3) Dynasty Weapon in offline game

4) Convert more advanced town requires more time (minimum 1 day, maximum 7 days)

Thanks!

1. might be possible,but hardly
2. hm...didnt think about it,need to look into the files
3. partly possible.
4. I can change the cost, but not sure about the time it takes.

@Elvin
forgot to say, that 4 tier system is interesting actually, I will consider it

You can mod building creation times by creating extra prerequisite buildings that don't do anything. It's not terribly elegant, and you still have to go into the build screen and click it every day, but it does work.

Good news. After 1.5 patch mods are available in normal way - just by adding custom dataXX.orc files. So Everything will be easier now. Will start working tomorrow.

You were unsure if you could change the amount of time it takes to build/convert. And I was merely pointing out that if nothing else you could add prerequisite buildings to the build-queue. A building that was cheap or free that had to be built before an action could be taken would add time to the process without changing the game in other ways. Kind of a pain in the butt since you have to enter the build screen each day, but it would work.

Another request :

Can you make more autosaves for offline games? At present, I have only ONE autosave (for current turn only). TWO autosave will be enough, one for this turn, one for the turn before.

Thank you very much!

Can't change these thing guys. At least not now. Everything is very limited.
But here's something I managed to make.



It still acts on it's own, like the third AI player (you can not control it) and there's still that Boss health bar. But in the future I might be able to fix it. It was just a test

Wow that is amazing

Makes me wonder if you could give it a "peasant" skin. and then Level it like a hero, you know so that it will be like H IV.

But the possibilities with the boss alone are amazing. Creating forts guarded by a boss. Can you tweak his hp and stats?

I'm still trying to find a way to exchange the models, but creature as a hero...might be possible.

If you take a closer look you will see that i changed it's hp, so yes - it's possible to change stats.

I tried but it's not possible. You can ADD creature, but you must also add new model and (maybe) new ID, which I don't know how. If you use existing model for new creature the editor says there's a duplicate and can not save it. So for now, only thing I can do is make bosses as creatures.

yeah but if you make a new map with random neutrals, isn't it possible that your Azure Dragon core creature might appear then?
