The mod is amazing, it’s a shame that’s all there is…

Someone in this thread was wondering if it’s possible to apply effects to the bones of newly imported creatures using this method.
The answer is a definite yes. However, sometimes the bone names change during the import process; for example, “bip01-head” became “bip01_head” for me. Naturally, the effect won’t be applied using the old name. To view the exact bone names, open the exported skeleton in the Heroes of Might and Magic game in the Granny Viewer program. It’s available in the archive at Esto100nec1.

Question for those who like my mod: who doesn't belong here? There are 2 possible answers.

A small addition... this archive contains a more convenient utility for this purpose from the respected comrade CrazyPill - skel2mel... this is a command-line utility, the syntax for use is:
skel2mel E6866F4A-8090-401B-916D-DE182B0EF973.gr2 [enter] or
skel2mel E6866F4A-8090-401B-916D-DE182B0EF973 [enter] - the output is a file called output.mel - a file for Maya, but essentially it is just a regular text file! :smile13:

Yeah… I didn’t think it would be such a difficult task to identify from the screenshot that there are two cuirassiers on it, which is an upgrade for cavalry, and that they aren't in the mod:eek:.
In general, the point is that I decided to make version 2.1 of the mod, but it will be only in English because I want to find out if anything at all is active on this forum http://heroescommunity.com besides Heroes 5.5. The main change in this version will be the cuirassier shown in the screenshot, and maximum optimization of move animations; mainly, the bug where the horse sharply falls down will be fixed, and here is an example of animation optimization for guardsmen: the old animation covers 10 meters in 112 frames, while the optimized one covers 2.5 meters in the initial 28 frames, and the result is the same, but the animation weighs 50% less than the old one.

on this forum http://heroescommunity.com, besides Heroes 5.5, is there anything at all that is active?
I got the impression that there is nothing active there at all. It's a real ghost town.
But, of course, in any case, it wouldn't hurt to post it there as well, just don't expect too much.
There is also https://www.moddb.com/
The situation is better there (although not by much). But the site is much more convenient and interesting.
Or, you could create a group on VK (there is more interest in Heroes 5 on VK, many people are in thematic groups and still write something, but it's quite difficult to make sure that people find your group (although maybe it's just me, because I don't like managing a group), and to keep people engaged, there needs to be constant activity).
You can also try Facebook, but I can't say if it's worth it, i.e., if there are people there who are interested in Heroes 5.
In general, in my subjective opinion, the most people who are interested in Heroes 5 are on VK, and this forum is in second place.

By the way, your mod is already on VK.

An unscrupulous admin of one of the groups posted it. Naturally, without mentioning the author and links to you, and I suspect without your knowledge.
My mods are also there. I wrote to the admin, I will be very surprised if I get anything in response other than a ban.

I understand that the admin uploads almost everything that isn't considered ancient.

It's completely useless. They post content for users, not for modders.

I'm wondering, theoretically, can we do something about it? Like, file a collective complaint about the group with the VK admins? Just throwing out ideas.
Added 2 minutes ago
In any case, this particular group appears as the third result in a Yandex search for "Heroes 5 mods," which means it's causing significant harm.

I'm curious, can we theoretically do something about this? Like, file a collective complaint to the VK group admins? Just throwing out a crazy idea right now.
But what's the point, what will change after that? Even if we do it, all modders whose mods are posted there need to participate, and probably many don't even know about this group, so many will just ignore it.

But looking at it, it's a great replacement for ghost websites with ancient mods, like the one with the open helmet on the griffons (and some links still work).

Yeah, that's a great replacement. There's no other way to put it.
I tried so hard to explain to the same remix how important it is for the modding community to know the author, rather than the author working solely to develop the platform for someone else. But even the mod authors themselves don't understand that this is necessary.
To give you an idea, these groups are not only a "great replacement" for ghost sites, but they are also a direct reason why sites become empty and die.
There is a direct competition for the audience. And, of course, it's easier for them to win because they don't have to spend time and effort on content creation.
That's why the attention goes there, and no one sees the need to go to those forums.
If there were dialogue and cooperation between the authors and, for example, this group, it would be a completely different story.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to contact the administration of that resource!
One of our comrades, twinQ (KK) [he's our newbie in modding], he's registered there and wrote our opinion about posting our mods there!
P.S. In general, as comrade twinQ just told me, his message was brutally deleted from there, i.e., if he doesn't correct the information, we'll need to contact the administration of that resource!
