This time we adding those two missing Hobbits to the Skirmish gameplay mode.

INIs you need to modify : frodo.ini sam.ini (You find those in : data\ini\object\goodfaction\units\rohan) playertemplate.ini (data\ini)

Begin with Frodo. Frodo is working perfectly you need only to add a BuildCost and Buildtime to him.
Open the ini and search for : "design parameters" You find this :

    ; ***DESIGN parameters ***
    Side = Rohan
    EditorSorting = UNIT
    ThreatLevel = 4.0
    ThingClass = CHARACTER_UNIT

    DisplayMeleeDamage = HOBBIT_SWORD_DAMAGE
    DisplayRangedDamage = HOBBIT_ROCK_DAMAGE

You need to add BuildCost and BuildTime to him so change it! (If you dont change this, the heroes price is free and buildtime is 0.)

    ; ***DESIGN parameters ***
    Side = Rohan
    EditorSorting = UNIT
    ThreatLevel = 4.0
    ThingClass = CHARACTER_UNIT
    BuildCost = 100
    BuildTime = 20

    DisplayMeleeDamage = HOBBIT_SWORD_DAMAGE
    DisplayRangedDamage = HOBBIT_ROCK_DAMAGE

The next is Sam. Just do the same. You can change the cost and time what you want.

Now we need to add them into a faction.(I recommend to Gondor because Gondor dont have too much heroes.)

Open the playertemplate.ini search for BuildableheroesMP and just type RohanFrodo , RohanSam :

PlayerTemplate FactionGondor
    Side = Gondor
    PlayableSide = Yes
    Evil             = No
    StartMoney = 0
    MaxLevelMP            = 33 ; 32 ; 1 extra for CB
    MaxLevelSP            = 78 ;80
    PreferredColor = R:43 G:150 B:179
    IntrinsicSciences    = SCIENCE_GOOD
    IntrinsicSciencesMP = SCIENCE_GONDOR
    SpellBook            = GoodSpellBook
    SpellBookMp            = GondorSpellBook
    PurchaseScienceCommandSet    = GoodSpellStoreCommandSet
    PurchaseScienceCommandSetMP    = GondorSpellStoreCommandSet
    ;SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = SpecialPowerShortcutChina
    ;SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarChina.wnd
    ;SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 5
    DisplayName = INI:FactionGondor
    ;StartingBuilding = GondorStable
    ;StartingUnit0 = GondorFighter
    DefaultPlayerAIType = GondorSkirmishAI
    ;ScoreScreenImage = China_ScoreScreen
    ;LoadScreenImage = SNFactionLogoPage_China
    ;LoadScreenMusic = Load_China
    ;FlagWaterMark = WatermarkChina
    ;EnabledImage = SSObserverChina
    BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon
    ;SideIconImage = GameinfoCHINA
    LightPointsUpSound = GondorLightPointsUp
    ObjectiveAddedSound = Gui_MissionObjectiveNew
    ObjectiveCompletedSound = Gui_MissionObjectiveCompleted
    InitialUpgrades    = Upgrade_GondorFaction ;Any upgrades this player template is born with.
    BuildableHeroesMP = GondorGandalf GondorBoromir GondorFaramir RohanPippin RohanFrodo RohanSam
    SpellStoreCurrentPowerLabel = APT:SpellStoreCurrentEvenstarPower
    SpellStoreMaximumPowerLabel = APT:SpellStoreMaximumEvenstarPower
End

Now you can play with that two Hobbits in Skirmish too.

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."
