Posts from MMH5.5 - Heroes of Might and Magic 5.5

Hello, I've been playing with the 5.5 mod for quite some time, and I've developed a desire to see the "classic" Ents again. Is there a way to do that?

Nargott, isn't it true that the damage of the ranged attack is adjusted in the attack pattern file (PatternAttack in the archer's Creature file)? 🤔

@Nargott just to say I do saw your message but I am away for most of August so productivity is pretty much zero. Regarding your patch requests I am very tight on time so i will probably not do them but I will invest time in finding out a way to put hardcodded variables in defaultstats.xdb

If i make this happen a lot of things from what you want will go there for sure .

Nargott, but it seems like the damage of ranged attacks is adjusted in the attack pattern file (PatternAttack in the Creature file of archers), right? 🤔

No, there is no such file in this case.

Hello everyone, I've been playing the mod recently and encountered these visual bugs. In the first screenshot, you can see the main hero and a visual duplicate that is glitching out. In the second screenshot, I tried to remove the duplicate from my hero using a town. It worked, and the duplicate got stuck near that town, and it seems like it duplicated itself as well. Judging by the outline of the background, this pair from the second screenshot is the only one that disappears when you zoom in on the map.

Do you have any additional mods or custom maps installed? 

Remove them and try starting a new game. 

Wow, I've only seen this bug in the campaigns of the original game (played without mods). Usually, it started happening to Isabel before Nicholas and Godric arrived in the Triumvirate mission, and I think another enemy hero glitched like that too. I never found a solution.

I haven't encountered this in Tribes of the East.

Do you have any additional mods or custom maps installed? 

Remove them and try starting a new game. 

No i don't have custom maps. I use only translate mods.

While in game, I go to options - > "audio and video". Play with the options there and check if anything helps.
