created a path, it worked, thanks! It would also be nice to fix the bug in the Warlock, which fires very quickly but the animation only plays afterward... but you need to copy the files from another Warlock.

Dear modders, I have a question for you.

I am currently actively developing a mod to replace the Mountain People, and as part of this, I am adding new heroes for each faction. After studying several mods that add heroes, I tried to add my own. However, the hero is not in the list of available heroes, although Any.xdb and the xdb file responsible for the faction's hero pool indicate that he is included. If anyone has dealt with something similar, please help.

Why does the game crash when compressing textures to DXT3 or DXT5 at the point where the game starts using that texture, even though the original texture is already compressed in DXT3?

I've never encountered this before. Is this a 2D texture from the interface?

There was an issue with the attack bonus scale. When I increased the texture size, a problem appeared on the texture for the rider's weapon; it also became larger. However, the interesting thing is that when I looked at it in another mod, it was compressed, and the texture size was large, but it doesn't work that way for me.

There's an issue with DDS textures – some compression types have a quirk regarding the aspect ratio, and I'd recommend changing the texture size in the DDS file by a few pixels so that the ratio is approximately 2, 4, or 8 (I don't remember exactly). For example, if the working size in the game is taken from the "......(Texture).xdb" file and is 414x154, then the texture should be made 416x156.

Does your method for converting files work without using Maya if you need to convert not a model with animation, but just a static model for the global map?

If so, can you outline the correct sequence of actions in this case?
I improvised a bit - I got the following in the log window:

Can't get Geometry exporter settings,
check UserData.xml in "ObjectTypeDataMap" section/

Impotr material list for \NewGems.xdb#xpointer(\Model) from granny file...
Warning: Materials.[0] contain invalid material reference

Can not load skeleton granny filec:\gamers\heroes of might and magic v - tribes of the east\Editor\H5MMods\NewObject\bin/Skeletons/8A0B.. (in general, the file name)

I assume that the material error is related to the fact that I did not assign a material to the model in Max, I only did the unwrapping. But I have no idea about the other points.
