Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

Can you bring up the console in the game and see what error appears?
Some of the scripts from NHF don't work in this mod because not all scripting functions from 3.1 are implemented.
As I said before, there is no compatibility. It's pointless to try to configure it.

Basically, I looked into it and realized that it shouldn't work with this mod at all, because if NHF doesn't like something, it blocks it to prevent crashes and so on, and to display the error...

It's simpler than that: the parts of the NHF code that use functions from version 3.1 simply crash with an error: "such-and-such function not found," after which the entire code of a running thread fails. The main culprit here is the mod's executable for faster AI turns: it requests something that it cannot process.

Yeah, I figured that out:smile01: It's a shame that everything is so difficult...

Hey guys, I installed the mod not too long ago, but the new heroes' skills aren't working. I was playing with NCF... is it possible to play with NCF? And why is it happening that the skills don't work?

Dyrman, which functions from 3.1 are used in NHF? Perhaps they can be replaced to make the mod compatible with 3.0 and EE (which, strictly speaking, is also 3.0).

+ Added an additional parameter to the SetObjectPosition() function, it only works for heroes; fx specifies the teleportation effect number (-1 = default, 0 - disabled, 1 - warp, 2 - teleport, 3 - dimension door, 4 - town portal)
+ Added an additional parameter to the AddHeroCreatures(), RemoveHeroCreatures(), AddObjectCreatures(), RemoveObjectCreatures() functions, specifying the slot number for which the action should be performed (if possible)
+ Added new triggers for heroes: HERO_ADD_SKILL_TRIGGER, HERO_REMOVE_SKILL_TRIGGER, passed parameters: heroName, skill, mastery
+ Added a new trigger for heroes: HERO_TOUCH_TRIGGER (only for heroes that are disabled by the SetObjectEnabled() function)

New script functions:

+ ceil(n) - returns the nearest upper integer value for n (example: ceil(2.25) returns 3, ceil(-7.1) returns -8)
+ intg(n) - rounds n to the nearest integer (example: intg(4.5) returns 5)
+ frac(n) - returns the fractional part of a number (example: frac(1.23) returns 0.23)
+ round(n) - returns the integer part of a number (example: round(1.23) returns 1)

+ GetPlayerRace( playerId ) - returns the race of the player by his number
+ IsAIPlayer( playerId ) - returns 1 if the player is AI, 0 if human

+ WarpHeroExp( heroName, exp ) - sets the amount of experience (experience) of the hero (and therefore his level), does not affect skills, etc.

+ TalkBoxForPlayers( playersFilter, iconRef, iconTooltipRef, textRef, addTextRef, callback, mode, titleTextRef, selectTextRef, defaultOption, optionTextRef [, optionTextRef, ...] )
- opens a dialog with several answer options (from 1 to 5) for the selected players (playersFilter)
- the function does not issue error messages because if the parameters are incorrect, the default values are used
- iconRef - link to the texture of the icon
- iconTooltipRef - path to the text of the icon tooltip
- textRef - path to the text of the dialog
- addTextRef - path to the text of the dialog (additional)
- callback - string with the name of the lua function, through the first parameter of which the player's answer is reported (number: 0 - cancel, -1 - closed by the game, 1.. - the number of the answer chosen by the player)
- mode - mode: 0 - with an OK button, 1 - OK/Close
- titleTextRef - path to the text of the window title
- selectTextRef - path to the text of the title before the selection options

HERO_TOUCH_TRIGGER
IsAIPlayer

I don't think it can be replaced. :( We'll have to wait until it supports all the features of 3.1.
