w00t Thank yoooou

I know, double post, but it's on a different subject.

I've screwed up Elrond. The game dies when I recruit him. Maybe I should just leave him with a 'Summoning Tornado' ability instead of a 'fires tornado' ability. *sigh*

I've gotten rid of Galadriel's 'auras' and "Storm Queen" skin, but I was wondering if it was possible to re-apply that skin for a short amount of time? I'm giving her an "Elf Witch" power which is basically a mini WoP. She plays an FX and then plays another FX with a WoP-type blast. But, I was hoping that I could have the "Storm Queen" skin re-applied for the duration of the ability, but then go back to the 'white' Galadriel skin when it's finished.

Can anyone help me?

EDIT:
While adding DreadLordNyax's BfME1 FX's into BfME2, the game crashed because "AREA_EFFECT" is an invalid priority. What should I put instead?

Search Through FXParticle system for an alternative to AREA_EFFECT. Try ALWAYS_RENDER.

EDIT: In reply to question 1: In your special weapon bolck in the draw module (the one where you define what animation to use) add

Texture	= OldTexture.tga NewTexture.tga

That might work, but Im not sure. Test it and see

I figured out how to do it. I used this in the Behaviour code:

SetModelCondition			= ModelConditionState:USER_1
		SetModelConditionTime		= 4.0

It makes Galadriel go into her Storm Queen skin for 4 seconds, and then it goes back to her normal skin

EDIT:
Does anybody know where are the Create-a-hero files kept? I was hoping I could make a hero and then edit it. I want to make Alatar, Pallando and Radagast, but since I can't skin or model, I was hoping to use CaH to make them, but edit their abilities/armor/damage myself. But the only create-a-hero files I can find are "Cah" files and I can't open them. Is this even possible? Or is it illegal or whatever?

To edit them, use the ''open with editor", at the edit tab.

Eh? I'm confused. Edit tab? I don't know what program I need to edit .cah files, thus why I can't edit them.

[Hard_Sander]

Just finalbig and a program like Wordpad.

In FinalBig click the CaH tab you want to edit, then next to the file tab, click the edit tab and click edit with editor. Or you could click Ctlr + e.

[Azrael]

Woo, I opened it right But unfortunately it wasn't of much help. It was only the CAH commands for the commandset and some attributes.

Does anyone know if there are any other Create-A-Hero files? I tried making Alatar from just code, but that has too many problems

and yet that is the only way

[Azrael]

It is? T_T Gah, I'll just have to try again.

[Hard_Sander]

Did you check both data\ini\createahero... and data\ini\object\createahero\createahero...?

[Azrael]

I must have missed that So you mean that's in INI.big?

[Fingulfin]

Yes, all the CaH system files are in there. Take a few hours to look at them all, and it will make alot more sense.

[Azrael]

I'll probably take a look at that on the weekend when I have more time. Is there anyone out there who has made heroes just from the create-a-hero code? If so, do you think you could give me a pointer or two?

[Bart]

you just can't. the create-a-hero files containing your own heroes have no connection at all with normal object files

[Azrael]

Gah, fair enough. I'll just use Saruman as a base for now. Hopefully I'll learn how to skin - somewhere between now and 2008

So you will be doing the same thing as I have done in my "Blue Wizards Mod": Use Gandalf/Saruman as a base and reskin their clothes into a different color...
