Posts from Do you have a couple of questions about mentoring? Auto-translated

1) Remix has a video called "Mentors in Maps," which explains where mentors appear in each mission.
2) Mentors don't generate on all map templates; they primarily appear on huge and incredible maps. So, when playing short games on medium-sized random maps, your luck doesn't matter.
3) There is a mod for new random map templates; unfortunately, I haven't played it and can't say whether there are mentors in it. Also, somewhere there is a topic with detailed descriptions of all existing templates + new ones. I recommend trying them out.
4) Yes, you can create templates (I did this personally together with xuxo). But it's not an easy task (or rather, it's simple but tedious). However, there are no guides on creating templates; explaining it myself wouldn't make sense – it would take too long (perhaps comrade Ment will answer). Or maybe you could explore it yourself, and I'll just tell you which tables you need to edit – as I said, there are no difficulties, you just need to understand English.
5) Since the absence of mentors isn't a bug, there probably won't be any "fix" in ARMG either. But perhaps a mentor is added to some templates.
6) You can read about it in the mentioned topic with template descriptions; you need to change them in the settings for templates and zones.
7) Some campaign heroes are already unbalanced; but undoubtedly, such a mod exists – just Google it!

1) If this is a hint, I'm warning you that I'm not a co-author there; I just helped a little.
2) I used to play incredibly often, and mentors appeared a couple of times, although very rarely. Well, that means you're just lucky.)
3) I definitely remember the templates that RedHeavenHero posted here.
4) Great! Then tonight or tomorrow morning I'll write which tables are at which addresses and how to edit them, and then knowledge of English = the key to success.
Yes, I created them.
5) Unfortunately, no; you can ask any player in 5.5 where it is integrated and what ARMG differs in. You can do this in the 5.5 Discord group.
6) In the tables that I will send.
7) Yes, I meant just adding ones. I don't know about balance ones; try NHF.
8) The game files contain music from the original; you just need to rewrite the path to it, not to the add-on's.

P.S. Yes, I'm a moderator.
P.P.S. It was a month ago; it will be over soon. To prevent it from being kicked out, select "Remember me."

4) As far as I know, no. That's what GSC is for – to have random locations or locations determined by the chosen faction. All Multiplayer games with specific zones, treasures, and other features are custom-made; GSC can't bring such a thing to perfection. 6) I just got back from a soccer match in Luzhniki, so I probably won't have the energy to explore anything today. 7) I agree, but the main version is quite balanced... 8) The original music from the original game is located in the Game Folder/music/MainMenu/, and from Lords of the Realm – Game Folder/music/a2/MainMenu.ogg. Just take the file from the first folder and replace the second file with it, renaming it as the second one! P.S. Yes, I deleted the duplicate threads. For the future: if you click "Submit Reply" or "Create Thread" and you are redirected to 502/504 errors, don't pay attention, don't rewrite, and don't resubmit the request. When the forum "recovers," everything will appear. About two months ago, our forum had some kind of issue, well, it was like a DDoS attack. Too many requests exhausted the resources, and the forum is currently being restored.

P.P.S. Yes, just put all the files (if they don't overlap in terms of the final xdb) into one pack.

P.S. Thank you for removing the duplicates.
Yes, I already felt this when it came to "creating a topic." Now I try to use the forum more carefully until it's restored. It's good that the moderation is also adequate. Otherwise, another moderator might have banned me for creating multiple topics.

P.P.S. The files have the .h5u extension. How can I create one such file that covers all the model changes? And is it even possible to do it with one file?
Or do I need to create a folder and put them in separately? But will the game read the usermods folder?

No, banning for multi-threading is bad form, and it's not written in the rules either.

You create a folder called MyMod; you extract all the required mods into it, if these mods don't overlap in terms of the final xdb files (for example, they modify the same hero's file). If they do overlap, the program will ask you if you want to replace, not copy, or copy with a different name. Overlapping mods are incompatible, and at the points of intersection, you will need to choose which mod is better.
But now, all the extracted mods (with the unchanged directory structure) are in your folder. Now, right-click on this folder => Send to Zip archive. You get a zip folder. Rename it to .h5u manually and put it in UserMods.

You can use mods from other sources on the forum, but you must always credit the original author and, ideally, provide a link to the mod.

.h5u and .h5m are archive formats.

You can convert to .ogg manually by renaming the file or using online converters like convertio.co. So, for a mod that replaces music, you need to: 1) Create the same folder structure as in the game directory. 2) Take your music files, rename them to match the original file names, and place them in the corresponding folders. If it's not clear: in the music folder, there's an a2 folder, and in it, there's MainMenu.ogg. Let's say I want to replace it with my Rammstein Sonne.mp3. I create a folder on my desktop named music, in it, I create a folder named a2, and in the a2 folder, I put Sonne.mp3, which I rename to MainMenu.ogg. Done. To install this "mod," you need to put the music folder into the game folder and, when the system asks if you want to replace files with the same names, answer yes. In general, we're replacing the game's files with our own.

The Biara model is located somewhere in Characters/Heroes/DialogScenes/, and you can select it for Jezebel using the method described in my guide "How to create your own hero," but instead of creating a new shared file, you edit what Jezebel already has.

P.S. I have no idea what you did or how, so I can't say what's wrong. To combine all the mods into one, you need to open each one with an archiver and put them into a common archive, which you then rename to h5u.
