Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

Wouldn't it be possible to temporarily solve the problem by deleting some files from UserMODs, such as EWA_Scripts-Activator.h5u or EWA_Scripts-Add.h5u?

I'll take a look later; maybe there's a temporary solution. I'm not using EWA for gameplay right now.

Nope, it didn't work...

As a quick fix, I can suggest changing the file date of NHF_0.82_data.pak\scripts\advmap-common.lua, for example, to the year 2099. Then, launch EWA, disabling all modifications in the launcher.
This might help.
I can't check it right now.

Confirmed – it works.
However, it should be noted that NHF uses the creature IDs from NCF, while EWA has undergone some changes.

I apologize, but what exactly did you mean by "change the file date"?

Specifically, change the creation date of the file from the NHF mod: NHF_0.82_data.pak\scripts[U]advmap-common.lua[/U].

Got it, thanks. An interesting way to solve the problem).

Yesterday, I tried playing as Galtran (Necromancer), and his specialization seemed ridiculously weak to me. Compared to the powerful late-game specializations of Kubera or Halphas, it's just not comparable. At the beginning of the game, battles involve 40-60 creatures of the first levels, then the levels of the creatures increase, but the number remains approximately the same. After each battle, +2-4 skeletons, even on a resource-rich map, don't make any difference :smile32:

Yes, there was a lot of discussion about Galtran. As mentioned above, his special ability will increase in percentage terms with the hero's level.

Or maybe it would be better to increase his stats or health instead? And make the percentage fixed, equal to 10.


I also had some thoughts about new special abilities for heroes. In single-player, I tried to create an elven heroine who, by chance, spent half her life in a dark elf clan and learned to control the elements from them. Specialization: at the beginning of the battle and every n turns during the battle, the hero hits each enemy stack with lightning. Mana is not consumed. Spell power increases by 1 for every 3 levels of the hero.
I did this in single-player, is it possible to do this in a mod?

The second hero is a demon who, with a direct attack, casts a random dark magic spell on the target, ignoring immunities. The level of the skill depends on the hero's level.

It's impossible in multiplayer; it's time to move this to the top of the thread: scripts in battles in multiplayer DO NOT work!

This has been mentioned before. But no one reads it anyway:smile32:

Increasing health can only be done if there is an "exe" file, at least from NCF (copies of creatures with different HP). And a lot will have to be changed. And even then, there is an unresolved issue when increasing, because these units will not be able to merge if all slots are filled.

This question has been asked many times, and there are many answers in the thread :mad:
In principle, the answer is in the header and above ;)

This is only for single-player.

If we weren't so limited in scripts, hero specializations would be much more interesting ;)

As always, you can download it using the link in the first post of the topic.

I'm still testing the previous version. I tried playing as Aglion. Around the 3rd month, I already had 1600 imps. In general, this is normal for the late game when playing as demons. But it feels a bit like cheating that mana increases in any case, even if the maximum threshold is exceeded. I currently have 1800 mana units, and with each battle, 90 mana units are added. Another question: The hero has the maximum skill level, and all 3 perk slots are filled for him. But at the same time, when leveling up, it offers to take another perk. Is this due to nhf or ewa?
