    Arrow MTW Hero Creator

    Yep. It let's you add heroes to a faction that already has at least one already.

    MAKE SURE YOU READ THE README BEFORE USING IT

    I wanna thank Obake Date for helping and a HUGE special thanks to SirNateOfWessex for lending a big hand.

    Bad news, though. I gave it to a friend who has XP and he couldn't get it to open :( If anyone knows how to solve this, please let me know.

    Here it is:
    MTWHeroCreator1.0.zip
    do NOT right click - Barocca.

    Please report any bugs or post changes in the layout you think would make the tool better. I hope 1.1 will be bug free

    Enjoy

    Thumbs up

    Topic pinned

    Don't have time to test this out yet, but if it works then this is certainly a tool we don't want to lose

    Excellent work, Kaatar

    Very impressive Even i managed to get it working without any problems, this will be a very useful tool for many mods. Good work and keep it coming, btw i dont know about that issue with xp as i downloaded it on my dads pc (98) and then transferred it to mine on floppy. I suggest hosting it unzipped as its so small. I didnt come across any other bugs

    You got that right. For my first try i set up sir Gothic WarMonkey with 8 for everything and legendary warrior. He came with viking landsmen (playing as danes) and just to try it out i attacked 500 germans with my landsmen across a river. Meat grinder they had 11 valour and it was like making burgers, great fun and again, well done

    I just checked and I couldn't find it either. I didn't realise this before but it seems the tool only works for VI because no heroes file exists pre VI.

    Sorry about that VI is simply better for modding.

    Ok, it seems that I have to find a copy of viking invasion, i just bought the STW but is not the same that MTW, the strategic map seems a lot more simple, and the good about MTW is the combination of small details (V&V, names, photos, ETC.)

    Any way, good work with this program.

    Before I do I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on it's layout or point out typos and things like that. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the support guys.

    Prenote: use the hero generator it makes things really easy, and means you only have to manually change one file.

    0.1 Contents

    1.0: Introduction.
    1.1: Creating the Hero on the Campmap.
    1.2: Fixing Translation.
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    1.0 Introduction
    i was thinking on how to create heroes, and then i saw the MTW Hero Creator by Kataar. i then created the hero, it then had translation problems so i had to repair those, it took a day and half to finally relise it and this is what i came to.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    1.1 Creating the Hero.
    You can create the hero using the Mtw Hero creator, or you can do it manually.
    just go to startpos, names, default heroes.
    and scroll down until you reach the faction you want, and add the hero with all his stats.
    (heroes cannot appear within the first 10 years)

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    1.2 Fixing Translation.
    you can fix the translation by going to loc, names. you go to the following Quote
    // Hero forenames
    ["El"] {"El"}
    ["Mathilda"] {"Mathilda"}
    ["Llewellyn"] {"Llewellyn"}
    ["Fra"] {"Fra"}
    ["Simon"] {"Simon"}
    ["Stephan"] {"Stephan"}
    ["Black"] {"Black"}
    ["Wat"] {"Wat"}


    it goes on further and is followed by surnames.
    the one on the left is the Startpos entry, and the one on the right is the translated one which is shown in the game.
    if you have made any mistakes it will not save the file, so make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's

    I was wondering about that myslef. I assumed Tosa took it down for some reason. Maybe I uploaded it to the wrong place.

    Anyway, here's a mirror that I just set up after reading your posts:

    http://www.geocities.com/mtwstorage/...Creator1.0.zip
    Right click and save target as

    Regarding the broken link, will it ever be fixed?

    Edit: Just curious, how'd you guys hear about the tool? Just saw the thread title or ... ?

    Does nobody read the Dungeon News then? Your tool has been at the top of the Dungeon forums for quite a while now.

    Just had a thought. Maybe you have to download Visual Basic framework. Maybe it's just that XP is newer and so many XP users wouldn't have it installed. Give it a go, you never know

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloa....Lang=en

    I'm not sure if that'll work but it's worth a shot. If that's not it, it might be something similar. Let me know how it goes.

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't but it actually worked for me once. I don't know if that was a major glitch or what. In my experience, changing the heroes file mid campaign causes the campaign to go bonkers. You end up being the rebels and everyone is in their starting positions.

    Tell me if that thing works

    the file has been moved to 3D

    3D downloads - MTW stats/mods

    alternately you could check the Org's NEW Download mirrors
    - not all files are online yet

    Download mirror listing - with server online/offline notification

    cheers,

    Question to Dessa and Kaatar:
    In the readme it states that heros can not appear in the first 3 years of a campaign.
    Dessa states the time is 10 years.
    1. what is the right timespan?
    2. in MTW Early El Cid is a Rebel General on the camp map from startup, how is this done?
    3. can the Hero Creator also be used to set the starting stats, vices and virtues of the starting Kings, and how is it done?

    10 is safe for sure.

    but i had never done it in 3 years i have done it in 5 years though.
    thanks, desmond
