Hi, how are you? I usually use Paint.NET to work with textures; I like to recolor units and skirts. I choose BC1/DXT1 for them, but it's not suitable for small icons. Which option should I choose?

You don't need to apply the same settings to all textures. Create interface textures without mipmaps.

Which option should you choose? If the working option I suggested (without compression) for those textures that didn't work out for you doesn't suit you, try everything.

P.S. If you still can't manage, I can console you by saying that those textures are bad. They have a lot of details, and everything is small and messy. They are worse than the originals.

This is just an example. From this list, what should be selected so that it doesn't get compressed?

DXT1 isn't always suitable; DXT5 is better. It results in a larger file size, but it avoids bugs with semi-transparent textures (my sprites were glitching, and the metallic sheen on the Shark Guard's armor appeared in patches). Save icons in "B8G8R8A8 (Linear, A8R8G8B8)" format and without "Generate MIP textures." The game uses them to reduce the resolution of textures at low settings, which causes icons to become distorted.

Hello, I'm new to this community. I would like to know: is there a mod that adds a button showing a table of creature transformation using necromancy, as well as other buttons?

I saw something similar here, but someone wrote that it changes the balance of creatures in addition to the buttons themselves.

Also, I would like to know: is there a comprehensive list of lore-friendly and non-global modifications for beginners?

It’s complicated Х). No one has maintained lists for a long time, and modifications get lost in the topics among a lot of other things. I can’t advise you about tables; they exist, but I haven’t used them. Perhaps you can find them with a simple search on Yandex.

In the topics = Small mods to change the visuals = and = Small fix mods = there is a lot of good stuff that doesn’t break the game (the lists on the first pages haven’t been updated for a long time, and the links may not work correctly; for example, attachments may not be displayed, but they may have fixed this already).

I also have a topic with mods; all the mods are listed there.

I was thinking, if it's possible to add a new spell via a mod – a portal to a city of your choice (with its own icon and script) – can new skills also be added via mods?

 

For example, a mod that allows manual control of your towers during a city siege would be interesting. Or, if that's not possible, at least a mod that allows control of the towers without requiring a skill.

 

Also, is it possible to create a mod so that you don't lose troops in a whirlpool, but instead use it as a classic portal?

 

And is it possible to assign different models (or at least textures) for war machines for different factions?
For example, standard heroes also use common models, but mods have been created for unique models for each hero.
Perhaps it's possible to link a check for the hero's faction (or name), and depending on this, change the link to the texture of his war machine?
Then they could be uniquely colored in the style of their faction.

It's not possible; it's all hardcoded into the engine.

Thank you for such a detailed answer, I appreciate it!

I accidentally found mods for tables on /topic/17284/

Thank you!
