Note

Random Map Generator

This plugin allows you to: – add completely native for Heroes 3 Creature Banks with the object type “16”; – change any existing banks; – change sounds for visiting and surroundings for all objects; – generate WoG objects RMG (no more replacing the necessary objects); – add new objects to the game mechanics with full AI support (No more “Pyramids”!): – already added “Resource Warehouses” from HotA; – in development “Watering Hole” and “Gazebo”; [!TIP] All of the above is done ONLY with the help of JSON files. No more objects.txt! Now everyone can add their own objects

Two new buttons have been added to the Random Map creation menu:

• “RMG settings” – opens a new dialog, inside which you can (should):
• customize ANY generation for yourself!
• enable/disable most objects for the RMG;
• customize the maximum number of objects per map/zone;
• change the value of objects;
• change the base cost of creature dwellings;
• change the density of object generation;
• change the value of objects (later I will try to work with zone limits as well);
• “Dice” – before each generation, create truly random settings for all objects, which turns each map into a unique set of objects;

Game Enhancement Mod:

updated plugin “GameplayEnhancementsPlugin.era”:
Added the ability to view descriptions of hints above objects on the adventure map while holding down the “Alt” key;
You can change the list of objects and the hotkey for working in the file “Runtime/gem_AdventureMapHints.ini”;
You can enable/disable the display of hints through the GEM settings window;

Advanced Classes Mod:

Added a fix to prevent critical hit damage overflow (recheck MF:D/F value before applying).
Fixed the descriptions of creature specialists (again).
