Wow, what a terrifying creature! He would be perfect for NCF. Or maybe for a dungeon, but I understand that the concept hasn't been fully developed yet.

"Faceless," I think it should be someone with blurred, indistinct facial features... like they're wearing a tight-fitting leather mask over their face, and all individuality is erased, so there's just a vague outline of a nose and so on... something like that.

"Heroes 5, but horror themed"
*it could have been an interesting mod, especially if we could code something that we can't currently change/add...

And how is the transparency of ghosts implemented? Is it some kind of effect? Well, you could create a faceless ghost by combining Heroes 6 and 5... You could take the ghost from Heroes 5 as a basis... but instead of a skull, use that kind of "stretched mask"... like in Heroes 6... but there it looks very much like a theatrical mask... I would rather make it "more stretched" so that the bump of the nose is visible.

Hmm, I don't understand. If there's an alpha test setting, why are there three others?

Ha, the last time someone asked such a question in the Modding section, I started preparing screenshots and wanted to share what I knew, but I got lazy))) Now the screenshots came in handy.

One line in the material is responsible for transparency; usually, we write AM_ALPHA_TEST there, but there are also other settings.

AM_TRANSPARENT is a setting from the Ghost; as you can see in the corresponding screenshot, there is a problem: a transparent texture is overlaid on another transparent texture (like a face on a hood), resulting in an unsightly spot. I once made a Ghost and, frankly, I got tired of erasing all the textures of the underfolds or the reverse sides of clothing on the sleeves, hem, and shoulder cape.

AM_OVERLAY_ZWRITE is from the Genie Vizier; it's a strange thing. You can see that there are holes in the hem where the polygons overlap... the Genie has the same bug; he has piercings on his nipples, and from some angles, you can see that the square creates a hole.

AM_OVERLAY is a strange thing; it's as if the unit has been turned inside out.

and with the overlay, does it also create a dark spot, but "inside out"?

What models did you use for this "test"? If you used the ones from the adventure map (they have lower textures and other features), then try the ones in the game (on the battlefield and in the hiring hall). They don't seem to have these "flaws".

overlay - an overlap, a layering, a combination... it seems that's why it has this effect.
