NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1. Auto-translated

Is there a way to combine UHM models with NHF?

I have an idea for hero specializations. It's actually used in the original game.

Let's take a hero like Iris.
The essence of her specialization: in battle, regular (unupgraded) griffins are replaced with identical ones, but with the "Dive Attack" ability (because other heroes' regular griffins can't dive attack).

Here's the process:
1. We use NCF.
2. We create copies of some creatures with additional properties.
3. When a hero specializing in a particular creature starts a battle, we replace them in their army with the created copies.
4. When the battle ends, we switch them back.

PROFIT.

This way, we can significantly strengthen not-so-strong creature-focused heroes.

This has already been discussed in the thread, multiple times. I don't want to use the NCF core for NHF yet.

Besides, not all battles can be intercepted.

Okay, let's approach it from another angle: the creatures in a hero's army are automatically replaced with upgraded versions, and he constantly moves around with them. They only revert to their original forms when encountering their own hero for an exchange. Wouldn't it be much easier to intercept this process? :)

P.S. If not all battles can be intercepted, how about the special abilities of characters like Hafad and Fiona?

That's the issue: it's not UVH (which is from Psathi), but specifically UHM – a list of completely different works on creating hero models, covering all factions except for the dwarves (I couldn't find them).
And when NHF is installed, all characters become the same (except for humans and a couple of others), and UHM doesn't work...
So, I'm looking for a way to fix this. Unique models are, of course, interesting, but playing with generic characters isn't very appealing. For example, there are no unique models among the demons, and that's a shame...

With my heroes, the "contact" feature is disabled; otherwise, it won't be possible to take an army from caravans.

If we take NCF, for example, it is necessary to create a necromantic table (raising creatures with necromancy) and so on. Some files will overlap. Then there was an idea to rebalance NCF and merge it into one project - EV. But there is no time for rebalancing. I would remove about 70 percent of the creatures from it. But then there will be no compatibility with the original NCF.

If I understand correctly, in TE, interaction with your heroes is actively used (quick army transfer, etc.).
At the same time, creatures can be freely taken from caravans.

And here, NCF creatures are not needed. The NCF idea completely destroys the racial skill of the Union – try to find the right, sworn creatures among a huge number of creatures...
Only the core is needed. There are no new creatures as such – there are only modified copies of old ones. Well, maybe you'll want to create a couple of specializations for summoning some specific new creatures or upgrading old ones to a new quality level (hello, Gelu from HoMM-3).

By the way, the script is overloaded.
Everything can be done in one loop and without the skeleton:
1. Check the number of undead in the slot.
2. If there are undead, compare the number in the slot with the total number.
3. If the number in the slot is less than the total, it means there are still undead, and you can safely take the undead from the slot - give a banshee to the slot.
4. If not, it means that all the undead are in the slot (there are two options here - there is still an army or only undead). In any case, take the undead from the slot - give a banshee to the slot and additionally take one undead (if it was added in the case of a single slot).
End of the loop.

I'm not a script expert, but something like this:

----------------DEIDRA-------------------
function  error_NHF_Nemor_F ()
	print("error:NHF_Nemor_F");
end;
function  NHF_HERO_F.Nemor ()
errorHook(error_NHF_Nemor_F);
local slot = -1;
local i_count = 0;
local id, count;
local temp_name = NHF_tempName_F("Nemor");
local count_umertvie = GetHeroCreatures("Nemor", CREATURE_WIGHT);
if  count_umertvie > 0 then --Fixed 0.84
	for i = 0,6 do
		id, count = GetObjectArmySlotCreature(temp_name,i);
		if id == CREATURE_WIGHT then
			if count < count_umertvie then - check if all undead are in one slot.
				RemoveHeroCreatures("Nemor", CREATURE_WIGHT, count, i);
				AddHeroCreatures("Nemor", CREATURE_BANSHEE , count,i);
			else
				RemoveHeroCreatures("Nemor", CREATURE_WIGHT, count, i);
				AddHeroCreatures("Nemor", CREATURE_BANSHEE , count,i);
				RemoveHeroCreatures("Nemor", CREATURE_WIGHT, 1);
			end;
		end;
	end;
end;
