Actually, I have this bookmarked... http://www.3dxtras.com/3dxtras-free-3d-models-details.asp?prodid=8509

Well, not all the models are in .mb format.

But thanks anyway. I wanted to create a more diverse town, but I guess I can manage without it.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there's a website where I can download various .mb models (since they're not just used in Heroes).

Unfortunately, I haven't found one. There are plenty of 3ds Max models, but Maya models are scarce.

Well, not all models are in .mb format.

Transferring the mesh from a newer version of 3ds Max or Maya is quite quick, taking 2-5 minutes. The main thing is to figure out the axes and scale.
And it's much more comfortable to work in newer versions of 3D editors.

Of the new programs I have, there's maya_2014... will that work for this?

Added 4 minutes later
Or did I misunderstand? ;)

From the new programs, I have maya_2014... will that work for this?

Yes.
ps: The .obj format will work. You can also create UV maps in newer versions; they transfer well. In Maya 6, you only need to adjust the object's size to fit the game.

Okay, thanks a lot. I didn't know it could be done that way.

Where can I get Maya? I've searched on Google and Yandex, but I couldn't find it. Please help. Help him.

Hey guys, can you help a poor guy out?
How can I change the music that plays after watching the Ubisoft ad? (It's the music in the background when the cyclops is attacking people in patch 3.1).
The problem is that I found the music that should be playing, but the "siren" (a woman wailing vocally) keeps playing instead.
Her vocals are annoying, and the music is unclear. I found my own music, but nothing has changed =(

I'm struggling with the TalkBox interface element. The lack of a scroll wheel is very annoying, as the text is limited to a small area within the standard window. I couldn't find a ready-made mod, and after my own attempts to modify the game files in a similar way to the MessageBox (which has a scrollbar), I only managed to achieve the following: The elements used in MessageBox are described in the file "/UI/CommonBoxes/box0p.(windowsimpleshared).xdb" like this: Item href="Box0p/ButtonOk.(WindowMSButton).xdb#xpointer(/WindowMSButton)"/>
Item href="title.(windowstatictext).xdb#xpointer(/WindowStaticText)"/>
Item href="Face.(WindowSimple).xdb#xpointer(/WindowSimple)"/>
Item href="Text.(WindowScrollableContainer).xdb#xpointer(/WindowScrollableContainer)"/>
Item href="MsgBoxText.(WindowTextView).xdb#xpointer(/WindowTextView)"/>

Apparently, the scroll wheel is controlled by the element: Item href="Text.(WindowScrollableContainer).xdb#xpointer(/WindowScrollableContainer)
If you simply delete this line, the game crashes when you try to call MessageBox, meaning there are some additional dependencies. If you add this line to the TalkBox description, for example, in a single-variant dialog "/UI/CommonBoxes/TalkBox/talkbox_1.(WindowSimpleShared).xdb", the game only displays inactive scroll arrows, and the text still overflows the allocated space when it's too large. This again suggests that the presence of the scrollbar must be specified somewhere else. I'm at a dead end now. Perhaps someone who has made similar modifications to the interface can suggest what else I can try?

How to create your own faction?

So far, no one has managed to create a new faction.

That’s possible. I saw someone on VKontakte who created a mod for it!

Firstly, he used a nag from the sixth game, and secondly, he replaced someone with it. In general, ideas about creating a completely new faction are in the air, but no one has done it because it would require a lot of tedious work. There's no easy way to simply add a new faction without using scripts and other complex methods. The only relatively easy thing to do is to replace one faction with another.

Can anyone provide a link to the Nival forum where everything is "described in detail"? When I click on the link on the first page, I end up on a "remote server," and the search led me to a website, not a forum. If I understand correctly, the forum has moved, and the link is no longer valid. Thank you in advance.

Yes, the forum has moved to the zzima.com website. I can't provide the exact link right now, but if you find the section dedicated to the fifth installment of the game, you should be able to navigate from there: the forum is small and currently completely or almost completely abandoned.
