Add new creatures to Heroes 5

New creatures can now be added to Heroes 5 Tribes of the East, beyond the usual 180 official creatures!

Download and install the New Creatures Framework, and make your choice among the multiple creatures below. The framework itself does not contain new creatures, it is only the core platform, that guarantees no (or minimal) conflict between NCF-compatible mods, whether you use one or a hundred.

You are welcome to give your feedback and ask questions about the framework.

Playing with new creatures

Install the framework

1. Copy the contents of this archive in your ToE installation folder. This will add 3 files:
   • bin/H5_Game.NCF.exe (the new executable to launch the game)
   • UserMODs/NCF__Core.h5u
   • UserMODs/NCF__DefaultStats.h5u (optional)
2. Install at least one NCF-compatible creature mod (see the list below)
3. Launch ToE through the new executable (H5_Game.NCF.exe)

Enjoy! The new creatures will be able to appear as random monsters if such stacks have been placed on the map. Or you can use a map where the mapmaker specifically placed them.

Safety caution: as always when using a .exe file, make sure you downloaded the framework from a trusted source. The modified .exe here is based on the european edition 3.0 (ToE) H5_Game.exe executable, in which only a few bytes have been modified.

Note: NCF__DefaultStats.h5u adds (experimental) support for necromancy (for example raising undead creatures from new creatures) and blood rage if necessary. It is kept separate from the core, because it prevents from using AI-tweaking or some balancing mods: remove it if you have any conflict with one of those.

Add some new creatures to your maps

With the Mapmaker Pack, adding new creatures to your maps is as easy as adding official creatures!

Download the NCF Mapmaker Pack (10.6 Mb)
Last update: v1.1 on 23rd february 08

1. Copy the contents of this archive in your ToE installation folder. This will add 2 files:
   • bin/H5_MapEditor.NCF.exe (the new map editor executable)
   • data/NCF__MapEditor_Core.pak
2. Move the framework core mod (NCF__Core.h5u) in the data/ folder, and rename it to "NCF__Core.pak"
3. Likewise, move any creature mod you want to use in data/, with the .pak extension
4. Launch the map editor through the new executable (H5_MapEditor.NCF.exe)

The new creatures icons will appear right in the map editor Monsters panel, with the official creatures. If a creature does not appear, contact the mod author so that he adds the AdvMapObjectLink file in his mod.

Note that the map editor only loads the .pak files from the data/ folder, while the game also loads the mods from UserMODs/. This means in particular that you don't need to keep two copies of the mods: if you have them in data/, the game will load them as well.

Creating new creatures

First, start by creating your creature mod, by replacing an existing creature or using the CREATURE_SNOW_APE slot for instance. This is not an easy process, and you can ask for advices and help on the forums. Once you know you will be able to release your mod, contact me, and I'll get you a slot reserved. The list can be extended at will, so you will get what you ask for, no matter how many creatures you're making.

You will then have to edit or rename 3 or 4 files, and we'll check the compatibility with the framework. The procedure to make your creature appear in the editor is detailed in the Mapmaker Pack readme file. Complete tutorials should be gathered here as soon as they are ready.

Bon anniversaire, dp.Fizz, à quand ton retour en ligue ?

Assassas77

07 mar : 14:38

Merci pour l'info Morrock , j'comprends mieux d'où vient le problème.

Et @ Iron : non mais ! J'ai très bien compris ce qu'a dit Morrock, c'est juste qu'il faudra au moins un bon millénaire pour trouver comment changer ça...

Iron

06 mar : 22:55

morrock , assasas s'y connait pas trop en informatique ( et oui assasas , tu n'arrete pas de le dire ) mais bon , cela pourra servir a un autre modo

Morrock

Si ça peut t'aider, Assassas77 :
Pour le problème d'encodage, le site mélange en fait deux encodages différents : UTF-8 de façon générale, et ISO-8859 pour certains éléments ponctuels (la boîte de MP par exemple, ou les cadres des news).

Il faut regarder du côté des fichiers qui gèrent ces affichages et les réenregistrer en forçant l'encodage en UTF-8.

Umbrus : J'ai poser la question sur le forum , jiraya m'a repondu qu'il n'etait qu'endormi car il n'y a plus trop d'activite sur H5 et pas encore d'annonce H6 prend ton mal en patiente

Assassas77 : Pas vraiment d'accord mais si tu veux parler correctement c'est toi qui voit ^^ mais c'est un peu gênant de voir ce symbole
(enfin pour moi )

Assassas77

06 mar : 20:42

Je suis pas tout à fait d'accord, mais après tout, c'est ton point de vue...

Umbrus

06 mar : 17:31

Assassas77

06 mar : 15:30

Non, parce que j'aime les é et que vous voir ne pas en mettre est déjà suffisamment choquant pour moi...

Iron

06 mar : 15:28

tu ne peu pas changer les e aigu en e normal ?

Assassas77

06 mar : 14:58

@ Iron, parce que ce sont des «e accents aigus» et non des «e» et qu'il y a des petits soucis d'encodage des caractères... (ce qui dépasse de loin mon niveau de correction)
