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

Let it be! Okay. I would rework some of the rangers myself right now... But I actually liked Ossir!) I'll only agree that the model might be too bright, it should be made darker. Let's have two versions then!)))

The final version of Maahir.
The turban has been reworked, now it looks more like it. The sword has been replaced with "Rakshasin".
Feathers have been added.
Tonight I'll try to finalize the other four on horseback and post a screenshot.

How about movement? Does the Necromancer's mount not detach from the rider?

But why should it fly out?! If you correctly attach the rider as an effect to the bone of another creature's mount, then nothing will fly out! :smile13:

In NHF, there are some problematic heroes (version 3.1, licensed, no third-party maps or mods were used during testing).
Sometimes there's a glitch with the weapon, and sometimes some parts of the heroes disappear while they're moving and reappear when they stop (there are no glitches in combat - only on the strategic map during movement), and there's more than one problematic hero - that's probably why fktifzobr@mail.ru asked about it.

I suggest we discuss who will be creating which heroes so that we don't end up doing the same ones over and over again.
I'll finish the Elven heroes and start working on the Tower heroes. There are standard Orcs (8 of them) - I didn't create them; I found a very high-quality mod. There are also standard Gnomes (8 of them), and they even have female models - they simply removed the beard from the standard Gnome model and drew a face - it turned out quite well, but unfortunately, I don't know the author. We need to create Inferno and finish Necropolis. I only have Belquet (I extracted the model from another mod and added my own icon and textures - I already posted Belquet earlier in the thread), and there are also standard Necromancer heroes.

I have two unfinished gnome units – a standard gnome with a female head (model), several archers, and several mages... in principle, they can be added to version 86! :smile13:

Otherwise, we're falling behind schedule because of me! :smile39:

That's really cool! But the horse's mane looks a bit strange, almost like it's wet... Could you make the angles less sharp?

What about the movement? Does the Necromancer's horse clip through the rider?

I'll finish the Elemental faction and then start on the Tower faction. There are standard Orcs (8 of them), but I didn't make them; I found a very high-quality mod.

The Mage looks very beautiful; I don't know about the animations, but he looks great externally:smile20:

they definitely need to be added!!! - these models can be used as a basis for creating something else. I think I'll create some kind of Town Enhancement on the Tralsay model in the next few days, if I have time.

Why do all the mages have Duncan's medallions? Is it some kind of order?

Let me tell you, they not only have the medallion, but also everything from Duncan.
Don't you want to create a new model with animation for each character?
You see, there's already a lot of stuff attached, it's just not up to the medallion... And simply replacing the texture won't give anything remarkable; it's small, and there's not much room to work with. Most of the texture is the deer antlers. What remains is the face for creativity; I tried drawing a crystal, for example, but it's practically invisible on the model. So, let's leave everything as it is.
Besides, it's not a given that if we introduce a new model for this "medallion," it won't disappear. It's also important to attach it properly, as Duncan's chest is animated; he breathes, and this "medallion" might simply disappear periodically...

take a look at the example of Dugald based on Duncan; I added a lot of things to him, but again, adding things is quite a hassle! :smile21:

Nope - it won't disappear (possibly on the global map - since, besides the hero, there are a lot of models and other things consuming the video subsystem's resources... by the way, I saw somewhere that there is a patched .exe (I don't remember exactly where) to use a larger amount of RAM - maybe it won't "disappear" during movement), look at the example of Dugald based on Duncan, I added a lot of things to him there, but again, adding things is very tedious! :smile21:

Damn... I decided to take another look at that mod that changes the appearance of the standard dwarves - the problem is that the models used for Rolf, Wulfstan, and Tolgar don't have a flag at all - they need to be redone. That is, the models of these three heroes were taken and re-colored according to the individual appearance of the hero (based on what is visible in the icon). The textures of the dwarves themselves are good, but there is no flag at all:(
Example - Ingvar

I'll tell you more, they not only have the medallion, but also everything from Duncan:)

And there's also no guarantee that if we introduce a new model of this "medallion," it won't disappear later. It's also important to attach it properly, as Duncan's chest is animated; he breathes, and it's possible that this "medallion" will simply disappear periodically...
