Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

Excuse me, but if it's a woman who specializes in men, then who is she? ))

Just a regular woman :)

I agree. Attack is better than defense. And yes, I forgot about succubi and fairies. In my opinion, a specialist should be either a Warlock or a Knight.

A small fix-mod (for version 0.87), created at the request of fans, speeds up the animation of the Renegade Heroes on the map (the speed for all mounted heroes of the "Haven" faction becomes the same)! :smile13:

A minor issue with EWA. It includes the NecroRageButton mod (buttons for rage and raising undead). NHF also has some kind of button, and they conflict. The button folder is ui/info, and there's another file in ui with the word "Heavy" in its name.

It's not the button, but the black screen that appears when the AI takes its turn in multiplayer. The files are overlapping. You'll have to wait for a new EWA for the button to work properly. Or, update the dates of the data files in EWA.

Could you add buttons to the mod?

As a temporary solution, I guess it’s possible…

A bug has been found: the screenshot shows that a hero with the special ability "Strength of Light" (original: "Favorite of the Gods") has a buff for initiative from the special ability "Aura of Speed" - how to fix it?

P.S. The speed aura icon is displayed, but it doesn't actually increase initiative.

A bug was found: in the screenshot, it is visible that the hero with the special ability "Power of Light" (original: "Favorite of the Gods") has a buff for initiative from the special ability "Aura of Speed" - how to fix it?

They talked about it, but I don't know how.

what if we just remove this icon? (of course, it will also be removed from the "Speed Aura" specialization, but I think it's better not to display something than to mislead and confuse). As an alternative, we can make the icon completely transparent, without a description or name - but space will still be allocated for it (there will just be nothing there).

Well, here it is. As I said, it's been removed everywhere (for both specializations). On the one hand, there's no more misleading information, but on the other hand, there's now an empty icon for "Aura of Speed" – meaning they fixed the issue for one specialization but created a problem for the other. What do you think, should we leave it like this or not?

there is another option: use some neutral icon (without a specific connection to a faction or action), call it something like "hero aura," and in the description line of the buff's action, we'll write "see specialization" - that is, there is no specific indication of what it is - just an indicator of the hero's impact on the army, and the specific effect of this "aura" is indicated in the specialization (in the hero's window). In general, I think this is a better approach - I'll do it later.

Maybe the hero was simply assigned the wrong specialization ID? Instead of an empty slot, they received the speed aura.
If this is a unique bug specific to this hero, I believe it should be fixable.

this is a unique bug related to the "Favored by the Gods" specialization – for some reason, it provides a link to the Furious.xdb file, which contains the paths to the icon and description of the "Aura of Speed." Therefore, we need to understand where the link to the file responsible for displaying the specialization buff is defined (Furious.xdb is responsible for displaying the buff applied to the unit from the "Aura of Speed" specialization).

Added 4 minutes later
So, the specializations themselves work correctly (from a mechanics perspective), but for some reason, both specializations refer to the same file, "Furious.xdb." In the hero's file, you can specify individual paths to the icon, description, and name of the specialization, but this concerns the display in the hero's window, not in the unit status window during combat (as shown in the screenshot).
