Mods?
 

I don't read russian, and I'm sure that some interesting mods were created by the player since the month of April.
I would like to know if the actual mods made by the russian community will be compatible with the US and EU version, and what are actually the most popular ones. :)

List of finished mods.

It is unclear if they work with English version.

There is a playable alpha of a mod that allows your hero to participate in fights directly, sorta like Homm4. :cool:

dude thats awsome...your list of MODS is in Russian :)

Someone posted a MOD to the demo that allowed the camera height to be double the distance. Does anyone have a similar MOD for the retail version. It really makes a difference IMO.
Thanks

The mod you're talking about works for the final version of the game.

The file you are looking for is called mod_164_camera.kfs which is a mere 1 kb in size. I can't remember where I got it from but it is in this forum somewhere. :rolleyes: Someone can post a link to it. It needs to go in the data directory. That's it.

I will make my mods for the English version when I will receive the English version KB.

Looking at the list of mods posted on the Russian site, that's going to be pretty interesting.

thanks guys..IM excited to see what people have come up with

Are those mods compatible with US version?

Here is only interface mods. Other mods info translation will be adeded later

Is there a mod that lets you rotate the arena battles all the way around or rotate to a top-down view? I tried editting the camera settings such as ARENA_MAX_PITCH and ARENA_YAW_DELTA etc but they didn't seem to have any effect.

How do you get the flying numbers to show number killed, not damage?

game.ini:

I've alredy found some of them don't work 100% with US version, although it's not to tough to fix. one helpfull thing is the data files don't have to be packed in the kfs's for the game to load them.

Can someone please make a mod that shows the estimated number of enemy troops? This is mainly for Scouting lvl1&2 when you can only see 'lots' 'horde' 'few' etc.
These were included in the HoM&M3 manual (e.g. 'few' was 1-4, 'several' 5-9, 'pack' 10-19 etc.) but I can't find the same info for King's Bounty.
I suppose there is a file somewhere in one of the .kfs archives you can find and modify.
Thanks!

From armygen.lua:

if count < 10 then return "<label=army_troop_few>" end
if count < 20 then return "<label=army_troop_some>" end
if count < 50 then return "<label=army_troop_pack>" end
if count < 100 then return "<label=army_troop_lots>" end
if count < 250 then return "<label=army_troop_horde>" end
if count < 1000 then return "<label=army_troop_huge>" end
return "<label=army_troop_legion>"



Modify eng_windows_small.lng accordingly.

Thanks for that! Here is the modified file if someone else needs it:

it's not possible. camera in arena-media files :(

I'm currently playing the english version and I've installed quite a few of your mods. All work great =)

Love the mod that makes the player look like a demoness but her walk speed appears to be substantially slower. Anyway to modify this without making all demoness enemies move faster also. Solved my own problem setting walk speed and run speed to 7.0 seems to be about the same. Tested the necromancy mod it doesnt not appear to work, in russian or in english versions, all troops including your own die with one hit.

I'm trying out the player demoness mod, it's pretty cool, but have you or anyone else using the mod have any footstep sounds when moving around the map?. There's footstep sounds on the idle animations but none while moving. Also can anybody tell me what the "army shop" mod does please?

Testing the sacrificial knife mod and it seems to work but dialogue options need translation. You visit a town to obtain the sacrificial knife, it appears to work first by talking to the knife the dialogue option you select seems to choose which army to sacrifice, if you select a valid army to sacrifice you should then have one of two choices if you select the second one and then use the knife the army you selected will be converted to undead. Is it possible for someone to translate dialogue?

If you know where all the dialogue is in the file, you could just copy each piece & paste it onto the Google Translate webpage, translate from russian to english & then replace the russsian with the english.
