How do I add Damrod as a hero for Men?

[Sindarin]

tooooooo easy!!!
Look in ini...search data\ini\object\goodfaction\units\arnor\arnorcaptain.ini

U can make in this way...
change side...

; ***DESIGN parameters ***
Side = Arnor <-------------------- here write man (but isn't important)
EditorSorting = UNIT
ThreatLevel = 4.0
ThingClass = CHARACTER_UNIT
BuildCost = DAMROD_BUILDCOST
BuildTime = DAMROD_BUILDTIME
TransportSlotCount = TRANSPORTSLOTCOUNT_HERO

The next impoortant thing is this.
Look here... data\ini\playertemplate.ini
Search for ARNOR FACTION... is the last...at the bottom of the page...
than u can see...

BuildableHeroesMP = CreateAHero ArnorArgeleb ArnorArveleg ArnorArvedui ArnorCaptain

ArnorCaptain is DAMROD...so u can past his name in the same faction but in man side....at the top of the page..

BuildableHeroesMP = CreateAHero RohanEowyn RohanEomer GondorBoromir RohanTheoden GondorFaramir GondorAragornMP GondorGandalf ArnorCaptain


now u can build Damrod...

if u need some and i know it i'm glad to help u!

I mean for BFME II.

[Sindarin]

not ROTWK?

[King Thranduil]

not RotWK.

[Lauri]

duh.... isn't it obvious when he says so? that it's for BFME2 should clearly say not RotWK right away

anyways, don't give a shite about the "Side = Men\Wild\Mordor\ect...." thingy, cause it only tells us where it lies in WorldBuilder

for the real effect, go to playertemplate.ini and add GondorDamrod to Men's heroes

if you've looked in ini\object\goodfaction\units\gondor you would see a damrod wich was moved to Obsolete... then you'd go to obsolete, ini\object\obsolete and see that there is no damrod.ini.... but there is the obsolete.ini, wich is what your looking for.... open it, press Ctrl+F and write Damrod.... you'll find GondorDamrod right away

I don't know if he can do much though... he should, cause he's commandset, and ini, are all "powered"

It says he has abilities like "Deadly Sniper" and "Rally Rangers".

[Sindarin]

hmmm....
i think that it can be the same...
Damrod is a reskin of Faramir...
U need new CB and new abilities..but i think that it can be the same...

[Lauri]

One wise word Thranduil.... test... check out if his powers work that's the fun part of trying hidden units out, you never know how much EA did for us in BFME1 there isn't much hidden though but for BFME2 it's alot if I'm right

[IthronAiwendil]

Deadly Sniper is a cool ability, I've used it in my mod. Rally Rangers probably summons some rangers.

[King Thranduil]

Hmmm...I've put Damrod into the Buildable heros for Men and he's not showing up. I know that when I add heros they show up because I have the four hobbits added to Men. Could this have something to do with Damrod being an obsolete unit? I also noticed there is a code for Denethor in there somewhere...

[IthronAiwendil]

Damrod doen't have a portriat or a button image, you have to add those to him to get him work. Denethor doesn't have a new model/skin, so you would have to do those yourself.

I thought it just was arrow wind :S

So how would I add a portrait and button image?

Make your art and convert them to dds's, then make a new asset.dat with assetbuilder. Place asset.dat into your big file with no directiories. Add the dds's to your big file. Go to mappedimages and copy one of the existing mapped images and replace the name and size as necessary (this is much easier than using cameomapper) Then take Damrod.ini and make his hero image and portrait point to the name of the art as defined by your mappedimages file.

Hope this helps,
