I have a question: how do you actually create new creatures? Specifically, which files do you need to copy (textures, stats, bio, etc.), and where/how do you assign an ID to the creature?

I have a little question: how exactly do you create new creatures? Specifically, which files should be copied (textures, stats, bio, etc.) and where/how do you assign an ID to the creature?

Regarding the ID — to avoid conflicts with other creatures, you need to check for unoccupied slots HERE, claim one for yourself, and then notify the NCF project community about it HERE (this is actually the final page) :smile25:

Regarding stats — it's up to the creator' same imagination, but for balancing purposes, it is recommended to use a special calculator — NOIADE

To start modding, I recommend tinkering with simple creatures visually, i.e., without added 3D elements — just (and not so much) recolored textures; for example, these creatures:
Brigand, Malachite Gargoyle, Azure Gargoyle, Ulem and Cadaver

After that, you should experiment with creatures that have recolored effects, namely:

Fire Gremlin, Namtar and Rakshasa Kali

P.S. The most important thing is to understand and subsequently follow the folder structure :smile09:

You also need to learn how to use TotalCommander, AkelPad, and 7z :smile33:

Learn to use Paint.NET, GIMP, but personally, I still recommend AdobePhotoshop CS3

TotalCommander
What is it needed for?
AkelPad
Wouldn't a regular notepad/wordpad/Microsoft Office Word work?
7z
Same question, wouldn't WinRAR work?

Added after 3 hours 25 minutes
And how do you assign an ID to an entity? I found a file with the .lua extension, and it said: CREATURE_MALACHITE_GARGOYLE = 234
But I couldn't find this name anywhere else! How does the game know that this is the correct entity? How do you assign IDs?

WizardNazyr - regarding assigning IDs, see above in the section about IDs! And the game itself – or rather, the NCF core – knows how to work with this to simplify the creation of creature templates. To achieve this, esteemed comrade SimonaK created aliases in the core. By the way, you need to study the inclusion of IDs in the folders and files of the creature more carefully and thoroughly, and for this purpose, you need to use TotalCommander!

In AkelPad, you can configure highlighting and other features, but you can also engage in masochism using the standard notepad, etc.

7z, unlike "paid" archivers, is free and less likely to corrupt files!

P.S. I never write anything for no reason, i.e., if I mention any software in my posts, it's not just for show!

I agree with my colleague regarding TotalCommander. It also allows you to open archives, specifically *.pak, *.h5u, *.h5m, in the same window, which is very convenient. And instead of AkelPad, I use Notepad++ with syntax highlighting and other features.

Well, Notepad++ is definitely better than AkelPad, but not everyone seems to be able to use it! :smile08:

This topic was created on this forum to discuss the Russian-language discussion of the NCF project - Extended list of Neutral creatures (if you are interested in knowing the opinion of forum users from the AG forum, here is a link to AG), and if you are interested in knowing the opinion of forum users from the Nival forum, here is a link to Nival - Zzima)!

To use NCF, you need to download three files:
0) you need to have a licensed copy of the game version 3.1 [language version is not important] (version 3.0 is no longer supported)!
1) the NCF core for game version 3.1 (alternative link);
2) the mega-pack (size 95 MB), which consists of 188 creatures from the NCF project (188 is the total number of normally functioning creatures as of 05/28/2008) - file uploaded on 07/13/2015 (valid for 30 days, i.e. until 08/12/2015);
3) language component (English/French) and in it also icons of creatures for the map editor.
4) files with the .pak extension should be placed in the game's data folder; .exe in the bin folder (the UserMODs folder in this case should not contain files with NCF elements)!
5) NCF is launched with the H5_Game.NCF.exe file
6) Russian localization file, to apply it, just place this file in the game's data folder

Calculator [current actual version], based on Nargott's formulas
please provide a download link

thank you, it's no longer needed)

Are there any NCF files for version 3.0? Or at least a few?

There used to be. Maybe there are still links available online. What prevents you from updating?

What about the idea of creating undead units? For example, "Dead Archers," "Dead Peasants," and so on? Give them undead traits, but also some drawbacks. Even as a separate mod, it would be great!
