The Heroes Round Table

Does anyone know what .MSG and .MSK files are and what they are used for?

No one knows how to access the commander screen?

I'm impressed. And excited. Keep up the good work guys.

As far as I understand, you can only change limited things by text. Amounts and a few stats. Basic number stuff. To go more in depth, abilities and so forth. You need ERM. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here) And for that you would need WOG. It's worth a try at least. Who knows? You might find som...

I'm trying to insert a new commander I made to replace rampart one. I'm almost done, but I can't find all files I need to access. The commander screen to replace the walking portrait, and info. And also does anyone know how I would change his shots? the ammunition def? I would like to make a few opt...

First you have to make the bitmaps for all the animation or whatever you're doing. Then you need to know what you're trying to compile it into. (A monster, map object, ect) You need a program called DEF Maker to actually make the finished def files.

I think this why usually people recomend that you install the original game to a directory and then install it again somewhere else and only install wog over one of them. That way you have both games. But you could just insert original campains over wog ones. Assuming of course that you could get th...

Do you know what creature you want to make? Like have you done the animations? Or are you just gathering info for future reference? The game only supports a limited number of creatures and we haven't been able to change that yet (correct me if I'm wrong), so for now the most practical thing would be...

thanx. It helped a lot.

Does anyone know where the large, 64x64 I think, Creature portraits are located? I found the small 32x32 ones, but I need to find the larger ones also.

I had built the def with the wrong compression format. I built it like a monster in battle def. That's why it showed fine in Def Viewer, but wrong on the map. I had an old version of Def maker. Monster only Ed. I updated my tools, compiled it as a map object, inserted it, and it worked fine.

nm. Problem solved. I figured it out. It was something easy and stupid.

I'm trying to create a map object. I create it. Get the image the right size, compile to a .def file and it looks fine in the viewer, but when I try to use it in the map editor, it looks screwed up. I only shows half of the piture, but it does it three times. Here's a screenshot. http://static.flick...

That's not all of it. Just enough to give you an idea. I wouldn't have time to turn the whole def animation into an animated gif. It's low quality too.

This is something I did a very long time ago. I know we have like 3 types already. Who needs 4, but anyway It was a test to see if I could do it. So I thought I might as well share it with you. All animations are completed. Tell me what you think.

could modify look to replace Hell Steed. Or could make an upgrade to nightmare. Like flaming nightmare or something.

thanx. I got it. A few bugs to work out, but great help.

I know they're high res. I'm going to tone them down. First I wanna get a few rough ideas though. It's easy to tone them down. So they all share huh? Would it be possible to change that at all? (through erm maybe?) I wouldn't want to mess up gogs or other creature's ranged attacks.

I'll see what I can do. It'll be a while before I can post an update though, since modeling takes a long time to do.

P huh? I'll see what comes up. Thanx for the input guys. As far as I know, they don't share arrows with elves. Arctic and Lava Sharpshooters both shoot a recolored light ball (like zealots) from their bows.
