A hole appeared in the horse’s head because the textures inside are empty (I wanted to cut off the griffin statue from the horse’s head, but a hole formed because there was nothing underneath). For the Paladin, I fixed this by simply changing the skeleton and geometry of the entire unit to that of a Champion. However, this won’t work for the cavalry unit because the rider isn’t wearing a helmet, and it would be silly to create units with the same skeleton and model. I had two options, which I already asked about, and you, footman, have already answered them.

What prevents you from covering the hole with a static mesh that fits the theme?!

I hadn't thought of that. I should try it. Thanks! If it works, it won't be long before it becomes a mod. :D

Hello, can anyone tell me how to give the Goblin Trapper the throwing animation, like the Goblin on the Tower?

Good afternoon. Please answer a couple of questions; it would be a great help!
1) In which file are the coefficients for knowledge (mini-artifacts of the Academy) changed? I've checked DefaultStats.xdb, but they're not there!!!
2) In which file are the coefficients for the sacrificial pit of the Dungeon changed? They are also not in DefaultStats.xdb!!!

How can I create several new heroes (without modifying the default ones) that are only available on a specific scenario map? They shouldn't initially be present on the map but should be available for recruitment in the tavern instead of the usual heroes. In other words, if I create a new Hero.(AdvMapHeroShared) file and attach it to a hero already on the map, everything works fine. But if the file isn't linked to a specific object, it doesn't save.

I want to create a video showing how to import models from www.mixamo.com into Heroes 5. I've tested it, and it works. Currently, I'm working on figuring out the simplest and most effective method.

What this will give us:
A working process for adding new heroes and creatures with individual meshes and animations – in the example, I'll add 51 animations.
By modifying the skeleton and mesh and running it through Mixamo, we can increase or decrease the size of creatures without manually creating animations for them.
We'll understand how to add animations of creatures from other games into the game.

I think this will provide a way to create a pretty good mod.

Cool! Very cool news! :smile54:

The test of the technical process for exporting the skeleton and animation from mixamo.com is ready. If anyone is interested, I can provide the test results, a usable skeleton, and a knight walking animation in *.gr2 format.

Currently, I'm facing an issue; I need to streamline the technical process for exporting the mesh and skin. If anyone knows the easiest and most effective way to attach a mesh to a skeleton, create the skinning, and import it into the game, please let me know.

I tried exporting the mesh from Maya 6.0 into the map editor, but I encountered a problem. Maya flips the model, meaning the Z and Y coordinates are not in the correct positions. Does anyone know where the coordinate system settings are located in Maya 6.0? And does Maya 6.0 export skinning to the game?

If the method mentioned above doesn't allow me to properly import the mesh and skinning into the game, I'll have to use Archange, which I really don't want to do. This method will be longer, less convenient, and more prone to bugs.

In general, if anyone has anything to add, I'm all ears.

For now, I have a problem; I need to streamline the technical process for exporting the mesh and skin. If any of you know how to most easily and effectively attach a mesh to a skeleton, create the skinning, and send it to the game, please let me know.

I tried exporting the mesh from Maya 6.0 to the map editor, but I encountered a problem. Maya flips the model onto its back, meaning the Z and Y coordinates are not in the correct places. Does anyone know where the coordinate system settings are in Maya 6.0? And does Maya 6.0 export skinning to the game?

If the above method does not allow me to properly import the mesh and skinning into the game, I will have to use Archangel, which I really don't want to do. This method will be longer, less convenient, and more buggy.

In general, if anyone has anything to add, I'm all ears.

Great! I'm ready to receive the test results! :smile54:

Awesome! Ready to receive the test results! :smile54:

I'll be the one posting the results. My computer was broken, and I couldn't help Esto100nec1 with exporting the new models, skeleton, and animations. Basically, here's a knight model from mixamo.com, with the animation replaced. Currently, it's animation number 1, which replaces the model of the armored knight.
