no one knows how to fix this(( Manulli solved this problem by changing the texture settings, but this can cause bugs with the model's transparency, meaning you can see the owl's legs through the model itself.

I understand, thank you.

You can find the paths to hero models from scenarios as follows: 1) place the desired hero 2) go to Shared => ... => HeroCharacterAdventure/Arena => Model
Check the path to the model there; accordingly, check the paths to materials within the model, and then the paths to textures

You can find the paths to the hero models from the scenarios here: 1) select the desired hero 2) go to Shared => ... => HeroCharacterAdventure/Arena => Model
There you can see the path to the model; in the model, you can find the paths to the materials, and from there – to the textures.

Thank you, I found it!

And I have one more question: how to properly render .dds files so that the textures don't look "grainy"? It's as if the sharpness is turned up to 100 and anti-aliasing is turned off. Is there some special compression that needs to be applied?

Generate mipmaps; I don't know how it's done in Photoshop, but in Paint.NET, it's offered when you save the texture.

And in general, the editor can control mipmaps when exporting textures.

Oh, awesome, thanks!

Uploaded a mod, come visit, and I thanked you there as well.

Hello, gentlemen! Could you please tell me if it's possible to create a simple mod like this: After each won battle, the killed creatures in the hero's army are resurrected (i.e., the army doesn't lose units during the battle). Or is this too complex for a mod? P.S. I know it's not canonical, but we want to test it out and have some fun.

Hello! Create a script for the map (Map Properties => Script => Edit Script) and paste the following block into it:

function ReturnArmy(combat)
  local n_stacks, id, count, died
  n_stacks = GetSavedCombatArmyCreaturesCount(combat, 0)
  for i = 0,(n_stacks-1) do
    id, count, died = GetSavedCombatArmyCreatureInfo(combat, 0, i)
    if GetHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 0), id) ~= count then
      AddHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 0), id, GetHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 0), id) + died)
    end
  end
  n_stacks = GetSavedCombatArmyCreaturesCount(id, 1)
  for i = 0,(n_stacks-1) do
    id, count, died = GetSavedCombatArmyCreatureInfo(combat, 1, i)
    if GetHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 1), id) ~= count then
      AddHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 1), id, GetHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 0), id) + died)
    end
  end
end

Trigger(COMBAT_RESULTS_TRIGGER, 'ReturnArmy')

Thank you very much! P.S. It didn't work on neutral monsters, but to make it work, you can do the following: function ReturnArmy(combat) local n_stacks, id, count, died n_stacks = GetSavedCombatArmyCreaturesCount(combat, 1) for i = 0, (n_stacks - 1) do id, count, died = GetSavedCombatArmyCreatureInfo(combat, 1, i) if died > 0 then AddHeroCreatures(GetSavedCombatArmyHero(combat, 1), id, died) end end end Trigger(COMBAT_RESULTS_TRIGGER, 'ReturnArmy')

Question: Does anyone know if it's possible to modify hero specializations that grant buffs to creatures? For example, could I make it so that Dugald gives a buff not only to archers and their upgraded versions but also to another creature specified by its ID? Is this information stored in the game files, or is it "hardcoded"? How were hero specializations that buff creatures implemented in the NHF mod, through scripts? I would be grateful for any information.

Hardcoded. In NHF, everything is done with scripts.

That’s a pity.

I have a question. Where can I change the numbers for hero specializations? For example, from 1% to 0.5%, or change it so that the bonus is applied every 3 levels instead of every 2, etc. I've searched through all the files, but I couldn't find it.

I understand that my question is similar to the one above, but mine is simpler.

In GameMechanics/RPGStats/DefaultStats.xdb, or the "RPGStats" table in the advanced editor.

Now it's clear why I couldn't find it. I was looking for specializations using keywords related to specific specializations, but they aren't in the file. What is this "advanced editor table"? Or is it the same thing?
