[MOD] Might & Magic: Heroes 5.5

[dredknight]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to introduce you to one of the greatest mods for heroes V!
The goal of MMH5.5 is to combine the majority of great futures of H5TOE, H3SOD, H3WOG, H4 Equilibris and Kings Bounty the Legend series into one 3-dimensional game to create an all-in-one TBS experience.

The mod offers:
- 30 new adventure map objects, treasure vaults and dungeons has unique interiors with larger battlefields! Armies and rewards will never be exactly the same again no matter how often you play a map!
- Advanced RMG - The advanced RMG is capable of properly balancing player starting zones and differentiate between early, mid and late game areas. It places all 30 new adventure objects and previously excluded adventure objects. The resistance is much stronger and various with 480 additional mixed neutral stack templates. The new RMG can create balanced PvP maps as well as gigantic singleplayer XXXL maps with hundreds of epic battles and all zones scaling up to crazy powerful heroes
- New Artifact Framework - Currently 34 new artifacts are added including 6 new ultimate items. The effective amount of artifacts in the game will now be the same as H3SOD. There will also be many new effects, in terms of unique effects the variation is actually far greater than H3.
- MMH5.5 Class/Skill/Spell System - MH5.5 will have might/magic and balanced classes with ingame skilltrees and 8 secondary skill option for all 24 classes!. New framework with 18 heroes per faction, 6 heroes per class, all heroes have only professional quality Ashan style portraits and many newly programmed skills and specializations. Improved experience levels allow the player to fill more slots and level up to 40.
- MMH5.5 Game Functions - MH5.5 can use the very fast reprogrammed H5_AIProcess31j.exe from Quantomas. New Quick-Combat loss correction scripts will keep the AI challenging even on the largest maps without losing calculation time.

I have been trying to make a 5.5 mod where each and every hero has all of the skills and perks that their class can potentially access.

My biggest problem is matching some of the perks to the in-game skill wheel, since the code doesn't share the same name. It would be cool if someone can point out a "rosetta" file that lets me match things appropriately. Here is some of what I am looking at:

Invocation - HERO_SKILL_INVOCATION
HERO_SKILL_CONSUME_CORPSE
HERO_SKILL_EMPOWERED_SPELLS
HERO_SKILL_DARK_RITUAL
HERO_SKILL_ELEMENTAL_VISION
HERO_SKILL_PARIAH
HERO_SKILL_EXPLODING_CORPSES
HERO_SKILL_DISTRACT
HERO_SKILL_ELEMENTAL_OVERKILL
HERO_SKILL_ABSOLUTE_CHAINS

There are nine perk entries, but there should only be seven Occultism perks. Two of them should go.

Also, would it be trivial to increase the number of visible perk slots? The game permits excessive skills to operate as normal, but they can't be inspected.

[Sabin Stargem]

Via ye olde trial and error, it seems like that I got things figured out. What comes next is making templates for each class, then applying them to each individual hero. Should be done in three or four days.

[dredknight]

Great you sort it out!

ULTIMATE HEROES OF MIGHT & MAGIC 5.5

v0.1
Built for Heroes of Might & Magic 5.5, v5.61, based on the GOG edition of M&M 5.


Just a bunch of files used to provide heroes with all of the skills and perks their class can access. Specializations are untouched. You can use the Competive Index to remove randomization from hero abilities, or just use the other indexes for cheating purposes.

Note that the ingame displays won't be very friendly with the excessive number of abilities. The powers operate as normal, but you won't be able to directly inspect their mechanical impact.


To install, drop the proper MH55 Index file into:
C:\XXX\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\data



These files come in four different sets, listed below. Campaign and Scenario are not yet done, and are listed as a placeholder for the moment.

0: Raw - Just the text files for editing, with appropriate structure. Use this to tweak.

1: Reference - Various files with information related to skills, specializations, and templates for classes.

2: Competitive Mode - Replaces your MMH55 Index. ALL heroes have all possible skills and perks for their class. They retain their specialization. For multi-player, all parties should have this.

3: Campaign Cheat - Campaign-specific. Replaces your MMH55 Index. Only the heroes available to the player in the campaigns have maxed abilities.

4: Scenario Cheat - Scenario-specific. Replaces your MMH55 Index. Only the heroes available to the player in the scenario have maxed abilities.


I may have corrected a mistake of the developers. The Sylvan hero Tieru had "ENLIGHTMENT" as a primary skill. There is no such skill listed in the skill .XDB, so I changed it to Light_Magic.

Dear all,

Hotfix RC12a was just released, it fixes a issue with Gotai crashing the game when opening spellbook or entering combat mode. Installation guide is in description.

Issue is important because it also can crash the game if AI uses Gotai.
Hotfix will not affect RC12 save games.

[Lucid]

Is there a way to get all the campaigns unlocked with this mod?

[dredknight]

@Lucid, yes. You need Tribes of the east (check the installation guide - https://www.facebook.com/notes/might-magic-heroes-55/installation-and-upgrade-guide/1100405733403622 ) than install the mod on top, and you will get access to Vanilla, HoF and ToTe campaigns.

[Lucid]

Oh right but within the campaign you have to do them in order. (like the third campaign of ToE is locked until you do the first two - which is a very bizzare design choice for the base game btw)

[dredknight]

All campaign beginings (Vanilla, HoF, ToTe) are unlocked but the progress of each one is locked.

[Lucid]

Here is what I see: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zo_Sh2vbdVPjDPyuLLZRLoMIdoy4vZU9

Also it frequently crashes when I click tavern. Not sure whats going on there.

[JacKV64]

Sorry if this has been asked before but do you recommend me to play this mod without never played the vanilla version or any HoMM in general?
