Asadex's Realism Mod 2.0

[Rando]

Hi Asadexes,

I just got the game and have been playing around with the editor. Is it possible, either in the editor or in the xml, to either modify hero names or create new heroes that you know of? For example, I might want to take an existing hero and give it a new name or create a new hero entirely and get it to show up in the editor so I can place it on a custom map. Do you know generally how I could go about doing that? I wanted to ask you since it seems you are very knowledgeable about both the editor and how to mod the game.

Thanks for any advice.

Yes is possible,
Using xml you make a new hero, you give him a model and textures, and editr will see it.
I'm making some new hero for RPG mod using a foot knight as warrior, a mage as ehm mage, and others.
Try and remember to make a backup of everything.
Remember also to post your results

Hi -- Thanks, Asadex, I see how to modify the xml files (and will be sure to post my results). One other question -do you know how to change the ingame portrait - the portrait that appears in the interface? I got how to add units and change the meshes but was also trying to figure out how to either change the in-game portrait or, ideally, import some of my own portraits and link them to the unit. Any tips? Thanks for your contributions.

i don't remember exacly but somewere there is a .dds file with all the potraits inside, you can mod them or assign a free slot at your new hero.
