Posts from HoMM VII Haven Units – Haven faction units from the seventh installment of Heroes of Might and Magic.

This is a very well-known mod about a pirate town. Horn of the Abyss. Just Google it.

And for some less well-known mods for the third game, they created models and animations. I remember there was a mod with a dark version of the human castle, with inquisitor executioners and dog handlers or something like that. There were also new models created from scratch. But the fifth game didn't get that. Of course, the models in the fifth game are more complex than in the third.

Well, what do you think the sprites were made from? They were made from rendered models with animations.

If anything, I just brought it up as an example of a mod where the authors created exclusively their own content.

By the way, could you share the import/export plugins, or are they already available somewhere publicly, and I just missed them?

The very fact that other animations exist is already a great achievement. And in the video, the new elements are perceived as a given – well, they are there, nothing special.

I always evaluate a mod from the perspective of a player, not a modder. I simply don't know a lot of things related to mod creation. I'm just a player, so I always try to honestly say what I liked and what I didn't (getting offended by subjective opinions is pointless).

I partially disagree with you here (from the viewer's perspective) because viewers appreciated the fact that the animations were transferred, while it seemed to me that you showed 0 emotions regarding this breakthrough in modding (ordinary users still appreciate such innovations).

What do I care, I'm not the author, I don't care. I meant that almost no attention was paid to the positive aspects, but excessive attention was paid to the negative ones.

By the way, I remember someone mentioning a certain possibility of transferring Justiciars from the seventh game...

And of course, there's also Might and Magic X, with models from the sixth game. But I don't know how to extract the models from it, and I haven't seen anyone do it. Although it's possible that there is a way, it's just that everyone is so indifferent to MM10 that no one has looked for this possibility.

There's a suggestion on how to "fix" the movement animation for creatures.
Set any standard creature that can walk as the main model, then make that creature invisible. Attach the model of a pikeman or archer from Heroes 7 as an effect and make it walk. The main invisible model is responsible for the movement, and the effect will make the legs move.

If I remember correctly, you CANNOT separately link a donor model with the necessary animations to any action... :smile35:
