Posts from MMH5.5 - Heroes of Might and Magic 5.5

I have this question: Is this mod compatible with Epic War Age (EWA)?

No.

Is the development of AI version 2 underway?

MMH55 RC9b Released!

The new version is here, bringing a new module called Mapmixer to the MMH55 features. It allows remixing already generated maps or refurbishing ToTe maps. It can even convert them for MMH55!
It also makes it possible to use water maps!
For more information, read the article on moddb -> http://www.moddb.com/mods/might-magic-heroes-55/tutorials/mmh55-mapmixer-utility

P.S. No major changes to the texts are done, so RC9a texts are compatible.
Something similar is valid for RC8b texts, but inconsistencies are possible.

Is the development of AI version 2 ongoing?

No, we don't have the AI code; this is Quantomas' work.

As far as I have heard, he is still working on it, and there is progress, but these are just rumors for now.

As you can see, we try to improve the AI with whatever tools we have at hand, but it is not much.

A Polish translation has already been made for the latest version of the mod, and I understand that we probably shouldn't expect a Russian translation. It's a shame that the translators abandoned it.

haha :). Anybody can help in updating the translation.
Just download the MMH55 mod and get MMH55-Texts-EN.pak file.

Get the russian pak file from here.

Extract both of them. Sort the files by date changed. if any English files have later change date then the Russian one, this means the Russian file translation needs to be updated.

Nice, nice... Mapmixer is a really useful tool. But it seems like NCF check does nothing.
Am i doing something wrong?

Do you have NCF creatures mega pack installed?

Of course i have.

@TheEternal, I am not really aware where is the issue. Check this two installation guides. One is for ToTe and one is for H55. Let me know what is going on.

So, here's what happened.
1st, I removed all the NCF files I previously had and installed all the ones from your link.
Then, Utility_NCF crashed when I tried to create a map.
Then, I tried to create a map with the MMH5.5 utility, and it crashed.
Then, I removed all mods except MMH5.5, created a map, put back all the mods including NCF, patched the map, and that's how it works for me. :)

Ah, I forgot to mention that Utility_NCF still crashes even if I only have NCF and your mod.

Thank you for the feedback. I don't use any of the Utilities for mapmaking. What I do is the following: After installing as per the tutorial: 1. I use MMH55_Editor_64 -> TOOLS -> ARMG to create a map. 2. Use Mapmixer to rotate the creatures. I have seen some other issues with utilities before, so I just want to avoid that. The Eternal, it seems there is a wrong step in the manual. The one that tells you to install NCF core. A MMH55 player has to install MMH55 NCF core, which is different. Tutorial is now fixed on the NCF page!

Thanx, now is's working!

BTW dredknight, where i can edit/change heroes' specialisations/skills?

Most of the skills and specializations are in defaultstats.xdb which is in MMh55-Index.pak
