I can make new objects for the adventure map. If I make anything, will you put it in Equilibris?
I would like to make something - I think you will agree - more graphic maker, more objects, in other words - better.

Do you have something for me to make? I'll make it once you tell me what.

I don't understand why don't you allow all the people to help you. If you allowed all the graphics/programists to help you you would get plenty of new buildings and new objects for Equilbris...

If you need anything... just mail at kg@multisystem.com.pl
I hope I will be able to help you... I have even a(n) (good) idea for building, but I don't know if you want me to make it.

We'd need to see sample of your work, why don't you make your building? If it's really good, it *will* be on Equilibris :D

Ok, Crusard. I'm going to make it. And even if its destination is not good in your appeal, you can get the very 3D object.
I just must do it :) It'll be hard because I'm simultaneously making it and playing equilirbis :D your game just drag me away the job :)

It will be "altar of replacement" ... and here's my idea how it would work:

1. you go to altar.
2. it says that you need to leave on it hero/money/artifact/creatures with total ...... life (depends on what you establish in map editor).
3. you don't know what you will get.
4. you leave what you was told to leave, and you get hero/money/artifact/creatures with total ...... life (depends on what you establish in map editor).


So that is a little like building with quest, but you don't know what you will be given.
What do you think about it, Crusard? In my imagination I saw such an altar with big figure standing on it. I will make it if you allow me to and if you can programme it so. That's not so hard (if I'm not wrong ;)

I don't know how it happened, but meanwhile I was thinking about the altar, I made this statue ;)
I'll make the altar too, but I involuntarily made this statue :)
Take it if you like:

Maybe it will decrease your / enemy's morale? Such a "Destroyed statue"? Anyway I have no idea for destroyed statue's purpose ;)

It's .png and has alpha channel.

Ok, I made all the altar's 8 frames. I didn't want to put here all 8 frames, so I sent the building to Dalai (I didn't know your mail adress). Why don't you answer?

One thing, you might want to make your building from an isometric view (no perspective) with the following rotations: X=30º Y=45º Z=0º
The light should come from the south-east and project a shadow to the opposite side.

About the function for the objects, it's sometimes better to use them as a Quest Hut so map makers can use them for whatever they like. Also saves Lost a lot of work:)

1.But have you seen it?

2.OK, I just wanted to ask you about rotations :)

3.I don't think it should be Quest Object, because there's so many of them and I don't think there's need for any more of them. There should be more still object, especially that sometimes people forget about Quest, and they use only objects that was already created.

Yes, I didn't think over that... It could be actually done by Quest... But It can have had other destination. The best would be something that you can't make in Quest.

I have idea!!! "Altar of toughness". It would give your hero extra 10 life points. There's no buildings that give you life in the Equilibris!!

OK I must improve angle in both buildings.

That's this building... Anything more you want to say? Tell me. When you say it's perfect I will make its frames. And then building's ready to put in Equilibris :D

The colours may be too blazingly vivid to really fit into the Heroes IV graphics system.

You should make your graphics as tgas and try them on screenshots to see how they would look ingame :D

Anyway about the object's funcion, it's easier when there's already an object with that function. I'm not really sure, but I think there's already an object that provides additional HP till next battle in the original heroes :proud:

Yes it is, but that's not permanent! That's just for next battle. I meant it will permanently give you extra 10 point of life. I think that would be great. There should be also building that gives you permanently extra (for example) 5 to attack (I don't know how it's called in English, but I mean this first attack (where's fist) not second (crossed swords).

OK but tell me anyway, WILL it be in Equilibris? You haven't told me that yet...
OK I'm making screenshot.

Edit:
10 Minutes later:
DONE: That's link:

That's better, but try to change the materials and textures, the current ones are too plastic and unrealistic. You should also add some details such as frames, maybe humanoid or angel-like statues on top of the columns, conic columns on the top... all that.

heh maybe make a draft... I will end it in the next year if I will still improve everything because I understood something wrong or for any other reasons... or better go to any chat. Then I will be able to ask you what do you mean.

Nice work, but I also think that it needs some polishing. Compare the level of details in other objects, you'll see what I mean. The Library on the screenshot for example. But nice work, keep it up!
