Posts from MCCS - new Multiplayer content

There seems to be an issue with map processing, judging by the second screenshot. There are no other errors, but this one breaks the script loading. And does this happen with any map and only in online games? If the problem occurs on a specific map, please share the map file if possible. If it happens on all maps, try typing "@CommonStart()" in the console after loading the map (even if it has an error); at least for now, this should solve the problem. And one more question, do you have AI set as the first player by any chance? In any case, thank you for the information; at least now I have a better idea of where to look.

I tried to combine this mod with the “NCF creature compilation by comrade kolt_av” (/topic/7937/), but it didn’t work. To be more precise, new creatures did appear on the map, but the game crashed very often. I don't know if the problem is in MCCS, NCF, or their correlation...

Another point: I tried to make the red player controlled by AI in a local network game. After loading the map, the script worked normally. Then, using the console, I "killed" the red player (Loose(PLAYER_1)). He was killed, but the first turn remained stuck (after both players had completed their turns). It's disappointing; I thought I could avoid the error this way.

The build contains IDs that are reserved for certain internal MCCS creatures.

 

How can I fix this? There shouldn't be too many IDs, right?

Don't post IDs in the date field.

I removed all the unnecessary stuff (hopefully). Crashes have almost stopped (only a couple of times when opening the gates for demons). A more serious problem was discovered – it’s not possible to load saves, one of the players always crashes. I tried both with and without new creatures.

Is it possible to use the PEST mod and the ability to use the console in multiplayer separately from the rest of the mod? Or is it pointless to keep the .exe file without the .pak files?

Finally, I got around to fixing it. Micro-patch 0.072 - here and in the first post. Be sure to download the MCCS_Main_0072_vNHF.pak file and the h5_checker folder.

- Fixed vulnerabilities that could cause script loading errors (thanks to Master for finding them).
- Updated the scanner program, now it extracts even more information (for a future major update).
- Added new scripting functions (again, for the next update).

Installation instructions are in the first post. Reminder: if you don't have any additional mods for creatures/heroes, use the MCCS_Adds.pak file, which is available with the rest of the mod files. If you do have such mods, be sure to scan the game files with the latest version of the program. Enabling/disabling NHF heroes is also done through the program.

Version 0.08 will be released this or next week with a couple of new heroes and a solid pack of new artwork. This will be the last update before the release of the Campaigns, after which there will most likely be version 0.1 with all the artifacts that were made specifically for the Campaigns (there are more than 40 of them).

Enjoy the game.

Hello everyone.

It's a pity that I haven't played Heroes for a long time.
I don't have any time for the NHF mod. I'm very glad that someone has taken on integrating it into a decent build.

You can freely modify the mod as needed. It has long become a public domain. Are there any remaining issues with it that need to be adapted to this build?

Hello. NHF, I think we should move towards reducing the use of trigger-based interactions and shifting some specializations that previously worked on the map into combat mode. This should resolve some issues, such as battles that cannot be intercepted by scripts.
