Hero Ability Question

Recommended Posts

If this has been asked, and answered, before, then I profusely apologize. The forum search function is near worthless and I spent a good half-hour trying to use it....

 

anyhoo, I'm curious as to whether heroes can have more than two special abilities. I've only ever seen a maximum of 2 on the existing heroes, so it made me wonder. Two addition questions:

 

1) If heroes can have more than 2 special abilities, where does the 3rd/4th/5th etc Icon go?

 

2) Would you have to make your own icons for this purpose?

 

Thanks a bunch!

Yes, it's possible to add more than one abilities in units, but you'll only see two icons, due to the GUI limitations.

 

1) The rest icon abilities will appear with the 2nd way of activating abilities, which is right-clicking on unit. Then you select the ability from a list that pops up next to it.

 

2) Yes, making new icons is doable but complicated. If you have patience, read this tutorial from PFF forums.

Or, use my MTD Editor. All that hex-editing and stuff is no longer necessary. Just create the icon and insert it with the editor. That's all.

 

To each their own of course, but I didn't make my editor for it not to be used. So if you find you'd rather hex-edit than use my editor, something's seriously wrong with my editor, and I'd like to know what :)

Heh, no offence taken mate. As you may know, for Total Realism mod, it's me and Orao behind the whole modding and Orao took up the icon task. I just saw that tutorial in PFF forum and (obviously) is not something you can do in your free time :D.

 

I'll pass your link for that edittor to Orao asap. Thanks for noting, it will save us precious time ;).
