My newly created Glorfindel (based on the Elrond model) can shoot threw walls when in bow mode. Can anyone help?

I don't really know how you can fix that, does he have ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT in KindOf block?
Try this if not, but i'm not sure that's it.

It worked! That is a great tip for people having this problem with their archer hero.

I have the Glorfindel portrait and button image if you want it (pulled from the decipher card game) - with the transparent edges !!
Good question!

OK, add this code to your heroselecticons.ini
MappedImage HIGlorfindel
Texture = glorfindel-x.tga
TextureWidth = 276
TextureHeight = 206
Coords = Left:104 Top:4 Right:180 Bottom:90
Status = NONE
End
You will then ned to create a HSGlorinfdel.ini (in the heroui group) and put this code in it
MappedImage HPGlorfindel
Texture = glorfindel-portrait.tga
TextureWidth = 194
TextureHeight = 192
Coords = Left:1 Top:1 Right:192 Bottom:190
Status = NONE
End
Then refer to your Glorfindel in his glorfindel.ini file (usually the first couple of lines) and point to those files above - the actual image references are pointed to in each reference above. Place the 2 files into your art\textures directory (I extracted my textures file and moved the source out of the main directory).
find the 2 files here:
www.taacars.ca\bfme\glorfindel-x.tga
www.taacars.ca\bfme\glorfindel-portrait.tga
I don't think I missed any image references (except the one for being revived - changed that as well).
It looks pretty good in game - almost as if it came with it!
I have added modified Word of Power and changes the rate of attack speed too if it's of interest. This is certainly the start of an Elves mod once I add a few more heros (Celeborn, Elladan and Elrohir, Cirdan, Thranduil etc ...)
Hope this helps!

Sorry, I forgot to mention you have to add those 2 image files into the asset.dat using the asset builder, in case you hadn't done that yet ....

Don't forget to save them as DDS too before putting them in the texture folder.

it reads them even if its .tga, .dds is just a compressed format of it

Oh i thought BFME needed them to be compressed in DDS format, forget what i said then
Is it the same for model textures? I mean can you put your textures in TGA and they will be read?

yes they will be read perfectly well
DDS is just more compressed so if you need space, compress them

That is not the only difference. dds creates its own mip-maps. If you save as tga then the game will try and make them for you and it never turns out pretty. I would strongly recommend using dds for that reason alone.
