Making New Hero
Note A- Make a new ini with your hero name in lowercase letters.
Note B- Make sure you have lotr.str extracted from English.BIG located in your lang folder..
Ok, Open up your new ini and and past this at the top and fill in where it says your YourHero:
| Code |
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; YourHero.ini
;
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; YourHero
Object YourHero
; *** ART Parameters ***
; SelectPortrait for Heros is portrait behind skill buttons. HP = HeroPortrait.
SelectPortrait = HPBorimir <----Can Be Changed
; ButtonImage for Heros is button image on Hero Select UI to select hero. HI = HeroIcon or HeroImage.
ButtonImage = HIBorimir <----Can Be Changed
Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_DRAW
StaticModelLODMode = yes ; Will append M or L to the skin name depending on GameLOD
OkToChangeModelColor = Yes
|
Once you have filled it in you have 2 choices.
Choice 1- Get a skin already in game and rename it and new powers or
Choice 2- Get a New Skin from your artwork and get a skl already in game and new powers and name.
Choice 1 is the easiest to do in my opinion so ill explain that one.
Lets say i want my new rider hero to look and attack like Aragorn then I would copy this from Aragorn.ini and paste it in my NewHero.ini:
| Code |

Ok, Once this is in your new ini you now need the design parameters. what faction is your hero for Mordor,Isengard,Men,elves,Goblins,Dwarves? once you now go to one of there hero.ini and copy and paste there design parameters after what you did above. Lets say i want my new hero too be for Elves and i want its voice to be elronds then I would go to Elrond.ini and copy the design parameters and paste them in my newhero.ini.
Elronds Design Parameters & Others:
| Code |

End
|
Notice there are also the Audio parameters and Engineering parameters and there is the Auto Resolve data. all of this sticks together. Fill in the spots where it says NewHero. The BuildCost and BuildTime can be changed and so can the CommandPoints.
Once you fill this out find a power you want in another heroes ini and paste it under all the new stuff you put in your ini. For Me I am going to put in BladeMaster. So i find blademaster in aragorn.ini looks like this:
| Code |
Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_AragornBladeMasterEnabler
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAragornBladeMaster
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_AragornBladeMaster
End
Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_AragornBladeMasterStarter ; SpecialAbility is a SpecialPower, SpecialPower is anyting special
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAragornBladeMaster
StartsPaused = Yes
End
Behavior = HeroModeSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_AragornBladeMasterUpdate ; So the difference in SpecialAbility is that it takes timing from this Update, instead of simply firing.
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAragornBladeMaster
HeroAttributeModifier = AragornBladeMaster
HeroEffectDuration = 30000 ; this should sync with the auto ability delay re-fire time in commandButtons.ini
UnpackTime = 1 ; insant unpack
TriggerSound = AragornBladeMaster
End
|
Now Go to the top of your new ini and under:
| Code |
DefaultModelConditionState
Model = GUAragorn_SKN
End
|
Put:
| Code |
ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE
ParticleSysBone = BAT_RIBS BladeMaster FollowBone:Yes
End
|
Then go to WeaponSet and copy and paste the old weaponset and instead of Conditions being None make it WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE and make the weapon YourHeroSwordSuper.
WeaponSet Should look like this:
| Code |
WeaponSet
Conditions = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE
Weapon = PRIMARY YourHeroSwordSuper
End
|
Fill in where it says NewHero
Thats all for the power.
Now add this at the very end:
| Code |
Geometry = CYLINDER
GeometryMajorRadius = 8.0
GeometryMinorRadius = 8.0
GeometryHeight = 19.2
GeometryIsSmall = Yes
Shadow = SHADOW_DECAL
ShadowSizeX = 20;
ShadowSizeY = 20;
ShadowTexture = ShadowI;
End
|
Thats all for Your Hero.ini now go to weapon.ini and look up Aragorn
and find his Sword Weapon. Once Found Copy and past it and rename it NewHeroSword
copy and paste it again and name it NewHeroSwordSuper
All Together should look like this:
| Code |
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapon NewHeroSword
LeechRangeWeapon = Yes
AttackRange = STANDARD_MELEE_ATTACK_RANGE
MeleeWeapon = Yes
DelayBetweenShots = ARAGORN_DELAYBETWEENSHOTS ; time between shots, msec
PreAttackDelay = ARAGORN_PREATTACKDELAY ; 400 is sword swing delay time before contact with target.
PreAttackType = PER_SHOT ; Do the delay each time we attack a new target
FireFX = FX_GondorSwordHit
;FireFX = FX_IsildurSword
FiringDuration = ARAGORN_FIRINGDURATION ; Duration of the sword swing
RadiusDamageAffects = ENEMIES NEUTRALS ; ;
DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = ARAGORN_DAMAGE
DamageScalar = 50000% NONE +RohanOathbreaker
Radius = 2.0 ; ;
Radius = 0.0
DelayTime = 0
DamageType = HERO
DamageFXType = SWORD_SLASH
DeathType = NORMAL
End
; ;
DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = #MULTIPLY( ARAGORN_DAMAGE .25 )
DamageScalar = 50000% NONE +RohanOathbreaker
Radius = 10.0 ; ;
Radius = 0.0
DelayTime = 0
DamageType = HERO
DamageFXType = SWORD_SLASH
DeathType = NORMAL
End
End
|
| Code |
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapon NewHeroSwordSuper
LeechRangeWeapon = Yes
AttackRange = STANDARD_MELEE_ATTACK_RANGE
MeleeWeapon = Yes
DelayBetweenShots = ARAGORN_DELAYBETWEENSHOTS ; time between shots, msec
PreAttackDelay = ARAGORN_PREATTACKDELAY ; 400 is sword swing delay time before contact with target.
PreAttackType = PER_SHOT ; Do the delay each time we attack a new target
FireFX = FX_GondorSwordHit
;FireFX = FX_IsildurSword
FiringDuration = ARAGORN_FIRINGDURATION ; Duration of the sword swing
RadiusDamageAffects = ENEMIES NEUTRALS ; ;
DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = ARAGORN_DAMAGE
DamageScalar = 50000% NONE +RohanOathbreaker
Radius = 2.0 ; ;
Radius = 0.0
DelayTime = 0
DamageType = HERO
DamageFXType = SWORD_SLASH
DeathType = NORMAL
End
; ;
DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = #MULTIPLY( ARAGORN_DAMAGE .25 )
DamageScalar = 50000% NONE +RohanOathbreaker
Radius = 10.0 ; ;
Radius = 0.0
DelayTime = 0
DamageType = HERO
DamageFXType = SWORD_SLASH
DeathType = NORMAL
End
End
|
Now on NewHeroSwordSuper Make the Damage = 500
fill in where it says NewHero
Now save and exit weapon.ini
Now open up your lotr.str and copy and paste and then fill in where it says NewHero.
Fill In:
| Code |
OBJECT:NewHero
"NewHero"
END
CONTROLBAR:NewHeroRecruit
"Recruit NewHero To Fight For Middle-Earth"
END
CONTROLBAR:NewHeroRevive
"Revive NewHero"
END
CONTROLBAR:NewHeroHotKey
"&NewHero"
END
|
Now Go to experience levels and find aragorn experience levels and where it says Target names after GondorAragorn put Your Heros name after all the target names. then go to commandset.ini and find aragorncommandset and copy and paste it and take out all the other commands so it looks like this:
| Code |
CommandSet NewHeroCommandSet
1 = Command_ToggleStance
2 = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster
12 = Command_CaptureBuilding
13 = Command_AttackMove
14 = Command_Stop
End
|
Fill in NewHero.
Now go PlayerTemplate.ini and find your heroes faction and and find BuildableHeroesMP and at the end put your heroes name. Shoud then look like this (Mine is for Elves so i put it at the end of the Elvens BuildableHeroesMP.)
| Code |
BuildableHeroesMP = CreateAHero ElvenArwen ElvenHaldir ElvenGlorfindel ElvenLegolas ElvenThranduil ElvenElrond NewHero
|
Now Go To Game And Check out your hero!
