Sure. I'm probably going to do a few, I'm kind of anxious to make a nice Rust Dragon. Always better to have two to chose from.

Quote: As per your request Lesij, I have covered the Crystal Dragon (Red one) with bits of dirt. Good news, it looks as you probably wanted it to. Bad news is its all symetrical and I don't think there is a way to go around that.
Dude, you made it! Nice work I must say

And that one is already available for download on the previous page.
Here is a small update on the real crystal dragon. If anyone remembers the Cyan-White dragon I made some time ago, that's more or less what it will look like. There will be some sparkles and of course an alternate version with dirt. Sound good?
EDIT: Here is what I have so far for the Real Crystal. Is everyone okay with the color on the spikes at the center of its head?

Which one?
EDIT: Here is the Real Crystal Dragon mod. Sorry, don't have the dirty verison yet. I kind of hesitate to do so, because it looks so shiny.

the black and white one would work for an "Undead Spiked Dragon" and yeah, Inferno, you are right, the new is too shiny which makes it look like a "Ghost of Arkath" you should add a new mod like that, Ghost Magma Dragon
EDIT: the red one Should be a Ruby Dragon, the White and Gray could be Crystal(1st upg.) and the very very white one should be a little darker and juuuuust a tiny bit purplish and it could be a Diamond Dragon. there, you wanted to mod one Magma Dragon, but modded the Fire/Magma/Lava dragons! awesome!

All right the black and white one it is or at least is going to look like it. Remember that the aim is for a Real Crystal Dragon. If you want, I could upload the black and white one as well.
EDIT: Here is the black white and silver one. I did say I'd make some changes. Is this good?
EDIT 2: Looks like it needs more silver...
EDIT 3: I made this picture at your request Lesij so it shouldn't be a surprise that you like it. The reason I'm editing by the way is because I can no longer post today.
There wasn't actually an image importing involved. If you look at the GIMP tutorial topic, I asked a question that lead to this. What I really did was erase certain areas, then used paintbrush with low transparency to recolor. It didn't come out how I hoped, if it did th silver areas would be transparent. If you like this one, I'll just change the icon and upload it soon.

The black-white looks awsome! And you know what? This darker areas look like stone from which it was taken from! So it is the real crystal dragon!!! No need of dirt, only sparkles please ( and maybe lightblue-silver eyes XD) gorgeus it would be

Sorry, but I have to disagree. The Black and White one looks just like that - a black and white texture change. It doesn't look like a part of the whole picture, but like it's been cut in from another picture. If you found a way to make it semi-transparent, you might be onto something, but don't know if that's possible.

I just have one comment to add from earlier:
Quote: I however, keep to the tradition of the dunces who decided to make red crystal dragon (like I said, large percent of the population, so the one guy on the board who was like, "Hey, that's not right," probably got fired) from Heroes 3. Let's be honest, do you want a real crystal dragon, or do you think the red one is cool?
There was in fact a reason for the red crystal dragon in the game's lore:
Quote: Approximately 30 or so years ago (Dracon's) mother went to the Festival of Life. The events of the festival inspired her. She took red crystal and, with the idea of a Golem in her head, created Crystal Dragons. She then set them loose in this little valley.
So clearly they knew the difference between crystal and red crystal. But in any case, great work. Personally I prefer the Red version in terms of appearance, the other black and white one seems pretty out of place. The contrast is not high enough on two versions and the other looks simply like a greyscale.

Sounds like a poor excuse for someone who put them in the game and then didnt bother to change them but just changed the biography.
Anyway i like the stony one best. The very gray one.

Or perhaps it sounds like a viable reason. The fact that they're carved from red crystal does tend to suggest that they're going to be red in colour.

Quote: If you're using cheats, it is CREATURE_SNOW_APE, if you want to play against it without cheats, I recommend Dragon Pass map, if you want to use it without cheats, get Diplomacy and hope you have it join you.

How do you edit the texture for the magma dragon? I'm fiddling with Characters\Creatures\Dwarves\T7_Dwarf\FireDragon-Fire_Dragon.(Texture).dds but it doesn't seem to be doing anything to the texture in the editor... I know the mod works because there's other stuff in the zip too (it's a pak file in the data folder - does this technique work for HoF edits?).

Um, FireDragon-Fire_Dragon.(Texture).dds is for the Fire Dragon. It's the other three texture files in that folder which affect the Magma. Yes, even I can make mistakes...

Not in my data folder! The creature models and animsets are swapped. Besides, neither dragon changes its looks.
