Posts from "240H" – unlocking new heroes and improving existing ones.

Razzak's biography mentions slaves. Since he is a golem creator, it is logical to assume that the golems are his slaves. And it's hard to imagine a buff mage.

I didn't say anything against golems – no! It's a cool idea! By the way, is this Razzaq implemented in this way?

Yes, that's the one. I just don't know how to make the golems move their legs while moving. If you give them a move animation, they'll start running away from their posts...

There's only one way. At least, that's what I know... You need to remove the animation from Razazak! And you can't just do it by deleting the code. There are two options:
1. Extract his mesh from the game into a 3D editor. And re-import it, but without the skeleton (Psathi's tutorial will help).
It doesn't work for me; the texture coordinates aren't saved. But it might be because I'm using an old version of Maya or because I'm missing a script... Anyway, I didn't bother with this method.
The second option is easier for me: rip the necessary model, run it through a 3D program, and import it into the game using the map editor. By the way, it's easier to rip in the map editor; I've tested it. I use Ninja Ripper. It's easy to find online. You'll also need a script for 3ds Max. It only works with it. So, download the ripper along with the script. It's easy to work with; you'll figure it out in a few minutes.
This way, you'll get Razazak without animation and a skeleton. But you can only assign this model to Lod files, and use the standard one for combat, since the golems will just be standing there anyway. That's it. Sometimes, simply deleting the animation code might work, for example, with Duncan. His mesh matches the standing animation, but most often, heroes have a T-pose, meaning that without animation, they will spread their arms or do something else... It won't look good, though.)))
Go for it! But your golems still won't move in sync, or rather, their arms won't move. You'll need to change the animations of the golems themselves for that, but they will still walk in step.
And finally, Razazak should, of course, be an effect! One of the golems should be the model!

Oh... I've got an idea. You need to remove the necessary arms from the golems' animations, and then everything will be as it should. Use the same method to extract the model, take the arms, and attach them to some inactive bone. If the right and left arms are different, you can always mirror the one you need in a 3D program, but you probably already know that... So, mirror it, for example, for the golems walking on the left, and attach them as effects. This way, the right ones will have one arm attached, and the left ones will have two. Everything will be symmetrical and beautiful. You can even keep the weapon in their hands and don't need to remove it. In general, it's all feasible!

Or even simpler: mirror the entire golem, but attach everything above the waist to the active part (legs). This will be even faster and without much hassle. Only the animations above the torso will be lost. You can implement it; it would be interesting to see!

I would like to ask the mod author. How can I restore the circles under the heroes and creatures?

The link doesn't work :(

But if you wish, I will gladly post it.

Here is the latest version of the mod. All errors have been fixed, and unnecessary elements have been removed. I've been playing with it myself, and I recommend it to you.
