Mod suggestion : Gems

[ryo_wufei]

Hi !

I personnally don't like that "blue cristal" gems. Does anyone feel comfortable enough with modding to create multicolor gems ? There must be 2 files i guess. One for the icon in the menus, and one for the texture/color in the 3d model (in fact I don't know, just supposing ^^).

Thank you in advance http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

i like the homm3 gems more, but please fix more important things first, okay?

Yeah the Gems look like crystals right now... The multicolored gems from H2 and H3 are a lot more unique...

Thank you http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Of course it's not an emergency. But I just wanted to check I was not alone to wish this and make sure it's in the pipeline http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

The problem with making this mod is that you'd have to change the models for the adventure map gems and gem mines.

[ryo_wufei]

True, I forgot that gem mines have to change too. But it is just a color change so it should be easyer than a 3d change I guess.

[Oakwarrior]

change the models

You means skins, right?

[Elrath.com]

changing the skins shouldnt be too hard. ill have a go at first changing the small images of gems shown at the top of the screen etc.

[OnionKnight]

Well, just changing the skin textures could work too if you don't mind the crack cocaine look.

[ryo_wufei]

Did you also intend to change the 3d model ? Of course it would be better. But I would personnally be content with a single skin change http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Even though it would result in "squared" gems.

I just let the skilled people decide http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I might be able to 3d model a gem pile, if I could see pictures of what the skin at the top of the screen would look like for pile shape and colour arrangement. I have no clue what to export it as or how to get it into the game though...
