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

I didn't quite mean that! :) I'm aware of that. I was thinking about something else... Well, for example, I added a new medallion, attached it to the neck, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to attach it... It might simply disappear while the character is standing still (without movement). The chest area is animated! It breathes! To make it clearer, I'll explain with an example. For instance, I recently created Hafiz, and he has a turban, with the "tail" of the turban hanging down the body... So, it disappears during the breathing animation. The body's textures simply absorb it... You could, of course, solve this by moving the object away from the body by a certain distance, but if you then look at it from the side, there will be a gap between the body and the object. That is, the body will move closer to the object and then move back, leaving the object hanging in the air.
But again! All of this might not even happen if a suitable bone is used. There are no such problems with belts.

Why not just remove it? The Deer Duchy medallion doesn't really fit the image of a mage from another country. Or am I mistaken?

We also need to decide where to put Jorgen - in Heaven or Dungeon.

Yes... And there's no way to add it. Like with Duncan. It's simply not in the model's geometry...
Although, it could have been combined with Duncan's model if we removed his sword and added it as an effect. But here, there's nothing... I'm giving up....

What if, instead of using a quiver of arrows as the team flag for Duncan and Dugald, we used the fabric on the horse's reins (it's green here)?

Maybe we could use the standard dwarf model as a base and just change the head to Rolf, Hangwul, and Wulfsten's heads?

It would be better to recolor them to match the quiver!

It would be better to make the rider an effect on a standard mammoth!

We need a flag from a standard hero and heads without the tusked helmet - a mammoth, in my opinion, doesn't really matter which one it is.:smile14:

Yeah, but I think the mammoth model in the standard version and the campaign versions is the same; they just made different variations using textures!

It seems like the mammoth has a different mask (sometimes it's not there, sometimes it's spiral-shaped, and sometimes it's angular).

We also need to decide where to place Jorgen – Haven or Dungeon.

Definitely Haven. Even in a regular campaign, everyone helped each other, but each remained in their own faction. If Jorgen lived in the Griffin Empire and served its king, without being an undercover spy or traitor to that very country, then he should stay there.

Here's a clear example of how, based on the resources of two standard heroes (Duncan on the left, Sareth on the right), you can create something in between (Dugal in the center), and then add a head and other accessories to give it a unique look (bones from Neck, Plate, and Chest were used)! :smile13:

We don't need a standard gnome!!! ((( We can make a flag, but it won't be in his hand... The standard gnome has a rather small and unimpressive body, as far as I remember... But it could be like this. It's easy to implement, and the animation will work. Just draw a "flag holder" on the mammoth's skin. Or attach it as an effect, if there's something to attach it to. How do you like this option?
And it won't be possible to apply the entire rider as an effect, as psatkha suggested, because of the arm...((( unless we leave the standard gnome's body...

You can't recolor the flag effect to match the team's color! :smile21:

But transplanting campaign gnomes onto a standard mammoth as an effect is more realistic! :smile13:

Sure! Just create 8 models or however many flags there are. Then, specify the paths. We overlay the entire standard dwarf model, then erase the mammoth and the hero, or even better, disable their meshes in the geometry. All that remains is the flag, and that's it... To simplify the task, do this only for the LOD files. Why would you need a flag in battle anyway?

Hmm, so in the end, a standard hero template will be used because you can't define paths, or rather, you can, but the program doesn't understand what's specified there because the guys at Nival didn't finish that handler!
