Hi all,
Just quickly wanted to thank everyone on this forum - although this is my first post, I have been using advice from this website constantly while learning to mod :-)
The issue I'm having is I am unable to remove the 'black cloud glow' that nazgul, on foot receive at lvl 2. As far as I am aware it is not from dread visage(?) I have tired similar tactics that I did to remove dwarf heroes glow etc but I'm not having much luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)
Kindest Regards

I am also trying to have the nazgul have both Leadership and Dread Visage abilities, however while on their fellbeast they only use leadership (dread visage does not appear to be affecting enemies) but when on foot, only dread visage is working (leadership no longer affects allies)
I have copied the stats of the witch-king's dread visage (which affects enemies while on fellbeast) but it does not appear to be working the same for the nazgul.
Leadership - I copied Dain's, the same as I've done for other heroes (like thranduil), so very lost as to why its not working while on foot, but its on fellbeast.

Hi.
To remove the 'black cloud glow' just uncomment all
ParticleSysBone = None BlackRiderFlare FXTrigger:NONE Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100
in object code, or uncomment this part of dread visage power code:
Behavior = ModelConditionUpgrade ModuleTag_DreadVisageModelCondition TriggeredBy = Upgrade_BlackRiderDreadVisage AddConditionFlags = USER_3 End

If you want to add dread visage power to fell beasts, you should:
"fellbeast.ini":
Add this part of code to object: "MordorFellBeastInterface"
;---------DREAD VISAGE------------------------------------------------------------------------ Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_DreadVisage SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership TriggeredBy = Upgrade_BlackRiderDreadVisage End Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_DreadVisageUpdate SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes StartsPaused = Yes End Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_DreadVisageAura StartsActive = No ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on. TriggeredBy = Upgrade_BlackRiderDreadVisage RefreshDelay = 2000 Range = WITCHKING_DREADVISAGE_EFFECT_RADIUS_MOUNTED TargetEnemy = Yes AntiCategory = LEADERSHIP BUFF BonusName = GenericDebuff ObjectFilter = ANY +INFANTRY +CAVALRY -STRUCTURE -BASE_FOUNDATION -HERO -HORDE End Behavior = RadiateFearUpdate ModuleTag_DreadVisageFear InitiallyActive = No TriggeredBy = Upgrade_BlackRiderDreadVisage WhichSpecialPower = 1 GenerateFear = Yes EmotionPulseRadius = WITCHKING_DREADVISAGE_EFFECT_RADIUS_MOUNTED EmotionPulseInterval = 2000 End
"commandset.ini":
Find: "KhamulFellBeastCommandSet"
And replace it into:
CommandSet KhamulFellBeastCommandSet 1 = Command_ToggleStance 2 = Command_KhamulDismount ; Added for the BFME2 Expansion Pact MountHorseBlackRider 3 = Command_BlackRiderDreadVisage 4 = Command_SpecialAbilityScreech 13 = Command_AttackMove 14 = Command_Stop 16 = Command_SetStanceBattle 17 = Command_SetStanceAggressive 18 = Command_SetStanceHoldGround End
OK. Now your fell beasts should have dread visage ability 
Before I will be able to answer to your third question, you must tell me: which nazgul will get the leadership ability?
6 nazguls horde from rotwk (EvilMenBlackRider), or nazgul from bfme 2?

Ah thank-you very much for your assistance! Greatly appreciated :-D
The 2 nazgul I was hoping to adjust, not a fan of the horde personally :-)

I followed your instructions on adding dread visage, but I get a Game Crash error on launch -
Unknown block 'behavior'
error parsing INI block 'behavior' in file fellbeast.ini

Add here your fellbeast.ini file code
Posted 27 December 2014 - 11:04 PM
I've tried posting it up Locomotor, instead of under MordorFellBeastInterface and that now works! Dread Visage now works for Khamul/Morogromir both on foot and on fell beast thank-you!
However I'm still having the problem with leadership for them both. It works when they are on their fellbeast, but as soon as they dismount, all allies loose leadership, even though the skill leadership still looks active.
Posted 27 December 2014 - 11:15 PM
Also touching on removing the black cloud, I feel that the code you provided works for the horde nazgul, not Khamul and Morogormir?
ParticleSysBone = None BlackRiderFlare FXTrigger:NONE Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100
Would one of the text in Particlesystem.ini remove it?
Was looking at FXParticleSystem NazgulLitePtGlowGlow in particular, lol - but not 100% what all these nazgul specific text do
CHeers :-)

No, don't delete it in fxparticlesystem.ini, but in nazgul file code:
mordorkhamulrider.ini:
Replace this part:
With:
(add ; before "ParticleSysBone = None BlackRiderFlare FXTrigger:NONE Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100", it makes it "invisible" to computer.)

Adding leadership:
mordorkhamulrider.ini
Add this part of code under locomotor, to object or BlackRiderMountedInterface:
Experiencelevels.ini:
Add "Upgrade_AragornLeadership" line after "Upgrades = ..." line on level you want to nazgul will get leadership:
Find KhamulMounted experiencelevel:
That's it!
You can also add leadership button, this is optional.
If you want it, just tell me

That has worked like a charm! Thank-you so much for your assistance Suchar! I was going mental trying to figure these things out! :-D
Now that the nazgul are working the way I'd like, I would now like to have the AI create all 8 nazgul & the witchking.
At the moment, they only make 1 Khamul, 1 Morogormir and the witchking. In the player template I added additional copies of Khamul & Morogomir to make up 8 - does the computer recognize this, I'm thinking it doesn't because they have the same name? When I play mordor I can make them all, so not sure why computer doesn't

Ok. If you want to have 9 nazgul, I sugggest you to have Witch-King, Khamul, Morgomir, and 6 Black Riders, BUT like heroes, not in horde.
By first, we will disable nazgul horde from mordor siege works.
CommandSet.ini:
Search for "MordorSiegeWorksCommandSet" and look at this code:
We must disable all "Command_ConstructMordorBlackRiderHorde" code. So, we will add ; before all this parts:
It makes code after ; invisible to computer.
Now, we will add nazgul heroes. Instead of copying Morgomir and Khamul, we will just add "normal" nazguls.
PlayerTemplate.ini:
Search for "FactionMordor" and in BuidableHeroesMP line add "BlackRiderMounted" six times.
It will looks like this
Is it over? NOPE. BlackRiderMounted object.... isn't exist. We will create it 
MordorKhamulRider.ini
At the end of the file, after all ends, after last line, create new line, and paste there new child object:
Lotr.str:
Anywhere, add this part of code:
CONTROLBAR:NazgulRecruit "Recruit Nazgul" END
And.... Thats it, we have 9 nazgul heroes!

And now we will make theirs buidable by computer AI.
When I play mordor I can make them all, so not sure why computer doesn't
Computer can build their, but he doesn't know, that he should, so he won't build it.
Now, we will tell AI, that he should.
data\ini\default\skirmishaidata.ini:
Search for "MordorArmy"
Do you see this part?
;// ;// HEROES ;// HeroBuildOrder = MordorSauron_RingHero MordorWitchKing KhamulFellBeast MordorMouthOfSauron MorgomirFellBeast MordorGothmog OffensiveBuildings = MordorBattleTower ScavangedResourceBuildings = MordorLumberMill ;Nazgul1 ;Nazgul2 ;Nazgul3 End
After "HeroBuildOrder =" add "BlackRiderMounted" six times.
It will looks like this:
;// ;// HEROES ;// HeroBuildOrder = MordorSauron_RingHero MordorWitchKing KhamulFellBeast MordorMouthOfSauron MorgomirFellBeast MordorGothmog BlackRiderMounted BlackRiderMounted BlackRiderMounted BlackRiderMounted BlackRiderMounted BlackRiderMounted OffensiveBuildings = MordorBattleTower ScavangedResourceBuildings = MordorLumberMill ;Nazgul1 ;Nazgul2 ;Nazgul3 End
That's it! Now computer know, that he should recruit a nazgul.
BUT remember: "should" ≠ "will"
Computer AI knows that he should create nine nazgul, but hee also knows that he should make others units, buildings etc.
It is really unlikely to AI having 9 nazguls at one time, it must be a very long game with lot of resouruces and commandpoints.

That has worked like a charm! Thank-you so much for your assistance Suchar! I was going mental trying to figure these things out! :-D
Black Rider glow:
In Black Rider code, with dread visage power we have this part:
Behavior = ModelConditionUpgrade ModuleTag_DreadVisageModelCondition TriggeredBy = Upgrade_BlackRiderDreadVisage AddConditionFlags = USER_3 End
"TriggeredBy" part <------> if i have BlackRiderDreadVisage upgrade (we get this on level 2)
"AddConditionFlags = USER_3" <-------> then active USER_3 condition.
We can find USER_3 condition at the beggining of the code:
ModelConditionState = USER_3 ParticleSysBone = None BlackRiderFlare FXTrigger:NONE Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100 End
So as we see, it activate the "BlackRiderFlare". We uncomment this part (adding ; ) and it become invisible to computer:
ModelConditionState = USER_3 ;ParticleSysBone = None BlackRiderFlare FXTrigger:NONE Persist:SPAWN PersistID:100 End
Easy
If in all this codes is something unclear to you, just tell me
