BigBrainiac's Guide on making custom heroes playable on any existing faction.

I bet some people have made their mods really well but didn't have create-a-heroes for your new Arnor.

This guide will show you all the steps to make a custom hero playable on Arnor/evil factions.
I will use Arnor as the example faction to add heroes for.

STEP ONE: Open any "createaherosystem..." files (like archer, dwarf, servant of sauron, etc)
I opened "createaherosystemmenofthewest"

Look at the code near the top.

STEP TWO: Find the code:

Code



//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Men of The West Class

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



CreateAHeroClass

    NameTag           = CreateAHero:ClassName_HeroesOfTheWest

    DescriptionTag = CreateAHero:ClassDesc_HeroesOfTheWest

    PowersDescTag  = CreateAHero:ClassPowersDesc_HeroesOfTheWest

    UpgradeName       = Upgrade_CreateAHero_ClassHeroOfTheWest

    IconImage       = Archetype_HerooftheWest                                                                                    

                                                                                        

    SubClass // Captain Of Gondor

        NameTag                  =    CreateAHero:SubClassName_CaptainOfGondor

        DescriptionTag          =    CreateAHero:SubClassDesc_CaptainOfGondor

        IconImage              = CPCaptainofGondor

        ButtonImage                   = HICAHCaptainGondor

        // In UI it should be          =  HICAHCaptainGondor_wotr

        DefaultFaction              = Men 

        UsableFactions              = Men Elves Dwarves

        SpendableAttributePoints        = 30

        

        UpgradeName              =    Upgrade_CreateAHero_SubClass_0

        //-------------------------------

        // Awards common to all heros.

        #include "CreateAHeroSystemCommonStatsAndAwards.inc"

        // Class specific awards

        Awards = GuardianOfMiddleEarth

Look at the "UsableFactions" part.

STEP THREE: To add arnor as a usable faction, just change the code to look like:

Code

UsableFactions = Men Elves Dwarves Arnor

You will need to do this for every sub-class and class that you want playable for another faction.

HAPPY MODDING

Game can only read names of factions that are already in game and Arnor. (Hardly coded?)

When I try to add my new faction to these subclasses, it says the faction is not a valid item in the index list. Any ideas?

Go to top

"One site to rule them all, one site to find them,
one site to host them all, and on the network bind them."
