The Heroes Round Table

If you didn't notice already (the info has been relayed in another thread here already), I released the H5/HoF campaigns a few days ago:

Enjoy!

I've tried looking around a few other sites, but no luck, wondering if this download is still possible, to get all the campaigns opened up in order, chaining properly, with all the cut scenes? I don't know what evilp will release or when from his project, but I've been packaging the campaigns mysel...

Did you add them in the heroes AdvMapSharedGroup?
\MapObjects\_(AdvMapSharedGroup)\Heroes\Any.xdb

Just to clarify the development model, I don't think Ubi has much to do with this game. For H5, Nival is the developer, and works directly at the request of Ubisoft, the producer. But for this MMO, TQ Digital do the developing and producing themselves: they bought the right to do so for the asian ma...

Changing the random factors, like starting ATB, is tied to the seed of the pseudo-random generator. If you're not familiar with generation of random numbers by a computer, it's nothing too complex: the computer starts from a number (the seed), and pick "random" numbers in a determined sequ...

Same thing last week on a GeForce 6600GT: variations of screen luminosity while in game (it appeared in H5 because int's the only 3D game I play and that's where the insufficient fan couldn't cool fast enough), then reduction of luminosity for several seconds, then black screen. At first, I could re...

With protection, don't forget Fire Resistance (Light Magic): 50% protection from fire. Even if you can't reach 100%, you can get damn close. Best is of course to use only fire immune creatures in your army. Fortress has a lot of them. With Resistance, play with Marbas, who has additional magic resis...

In the manual, in the spells section.

Another option is to offer an unknown spell of the corresponding level, like the Pyramid now does.

for the artifact list (with the same color code as in game: minor/major/relic)

Note that the formula for adding magic protections actually works like:
1-P = (1-P1)(1-P2) [or P = P1+P2-P1*P2]

and not (P1+P2 as could be expected). So adding a 85% protection and a 15% protection gives a total of 87% protection.

Magic resistances are added though: R = R1+R2

If you get a zip file when downloading, it's because IE is silently renaming the file for you... As Larkin said, just rename it.

Here you are, campaign heroes available in the 40 multiplayer maps in ToE:

Ok then, let's add a few more explanations (I always support education). :) To open the "internal" maps in the editor (and many other internal resources), just follow the procedure in Apocalypse's post. I don't think it's that useful for maps, but there are a bunch of interesting things th...

If you didn't solve your problem yet, ToE maps as .h5m are available on
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/he ... maps.shtml

By curiosity, you packaged the .h5u with "Store" compression. It also works with "Normal" compression (with filesize 5.28Mb, which is not really my point). Filesize is still bigger than the .rar, which has the additional feature of avoiding IE to silently rename the file and make...

I've been reviewing Age of Heroes section about Dark Enegy and I've found this: IMPORTANT 1.5 Note: The Dark Energy Pool formula has been amended to 250 + Hero_Bonus + Building_Bonus. Where the Hero Bonus is doubled , and the Pillar of Bones bonus is reduced from 150 to 20 DE points. In Tribes of t...

I'll reproduce here the post I just wrote on Heroes Community, as the subject is, i think, of interest for the whole community: --- Someone going with the nickname Radziu_666 is selling an H5 package on allegro.pl (the polish eBay), with maps, mods, official patches, the skillwheels, and some other ...

morthi (handling the polish localization of the manual) already replied, but I think the topic deserves a reply on my own as well, seeing as I'm right at the center of it, to make sure everything is cleared up. :) As morthi gave the short answers, I feel like giving the lengthy ones. ;) First of all...
