Can we add new units instead of substituting?
Well... Honestly it is possible. But it requires a modification of a huge amount of packages. Literally you have to manually unpack almost entire game. Then pack it back. After that, when you release your "mod", it will be as heavy as a 3Gb sized patch...

Discover now: two new neutral units!
PS: I will soon finish this mod and will release it here as usual.
PPS: Pray to 3LiON, the God of Hardpatching, so we all could enjoy unicorns in vanilla game (yes, I got them only on custom map).
PPPS: Stats/abilities are just for testing, you can edit them or add your own ones.
I am looking forward to unicorns, I miss them...
The only thing I am not sure about is how could upgraded unicorn look like. As far as I know there is just one model (hero mount) so maybe it should have to been graphically changed.
And I think unicorn upgrade could have the Inspiring presence ability the sun deer has now (so blinding would just replace Unfettered).
Also praying to mr3Lion for their integration into the vanilla game - no more deers in campaigns!

Sorry for delay but I have encountered another problem. But first things first: Unicorn neutral unit cMOD (31,3 MB, RAR)
You will find both unicorns there so play with them as you wish.
Now to the problem:
Animations for attack/defend/death are missing so sometimes unicorn uses victory animation for attack (but delayed) and sometimes nothing. And when unicorn dies... well there is no animation at all.
This could be easily fixed by copying Doe/Deer animation sets and altering them to unicorn body but that is out of my skills so if anyone knows how to do that in Unreal Editor?
@ChrisD1: I can mod Faceless too but lets wait if natalka is able to hardpatch unicorn first.

It worked. Though in town building screen the picture is still of a moon doe and everywhere the name is moon doe but I am sure this can be fixed too. If animations can be fixed I will continue.

Thanks natalka. Now just to create better animations and we are ready to go. Unfortunately I am still failing hard so maybe some skilled animators can help us (or maybe we got Unicorn official patch in the meanwhile).
And another modding news: Shadow Priest custom hero class guide
PS: I used Soulvenom aura specialization (Lethos) and changed it a bit so now it scales with hero level/damage. I didnt like the original 40 damage even on max level.

I played around with the Unicorn and tweaked the original mesh in 3ds max. The left model may be used for basic creature and right one (original) for upgrade.
Unfortunately I’m not able to create packages in map editor (crashes all the time) so if someone is interested in, may create a package and test the model in-game. I’ll leave link below for .rar file. The mesh file Unicorn_Basic.FBX can be found in folder Unicorn_BasicSkeletalMesh3 and the textures in Unicorn_BasicTexture2D.

Nice job! But as long as we are lacking the right animations we cannot use those models
I have also checked some warfare units and they can be used as normal combat units, they have all the animations needed - seems they were so lazy that Namtaru got also transform animations which arent used anymore
And in the meanwhile of waiting: Unique artefact creation guide

Not that easy pal, I mean the whole game BREATHES of Ashan, to eradicate it completely ALL assets would need to be replaced, and that's only speaking about the visual part... What is this so-called "modding support" if basics like the skill system can't be changed?

It can be changed. No that easy though. And you need to be a skilled UE developer. But if you are, you may even turn Heroes VII into a racing game.

3LiON, natalka or anyone skilled in UE3:
When I add InterpActor and set collision type on: COLLIDE_BlockAll it doesnt work. Heroes can still go through the object like there is no collision.
I have tested it in UE3 vanilla and it is working. In UE3 Heroes VII edition it is not. Bug or am I missing something?
What I am trying to do: add 2 InterpActor objects (doors) and move them (open) via Matinee and Kismet. Everything is working except the doors have no collision even when set so.
Thanks!

Lordgraa, I can`t help you with this. I can`t even set the visiting shell to be impassable when it has an option in the menu - it doesn`t work also.
I am trying to make hero specializations more interesting - Dirael should give +1 Might/+1 Defence to pixies for every 2 levels of the hero. I copied the archetype "cyclops_master" which gives +8/+8 to cyclops but this is fixed. I can`t make it per level and there isn`t any trigger to alter the specialization based on hero level. There is a dropdown menu where you can set different things - attack ,defence, min damage, luck cap, morale cap, mana points...etc. There is even one entry there - additional minimum damage per hero level which is used for those artifacts that give dmg. But there is no entry "additional attack per hero level" so I am left with static. Any ideas? Maybe I can edit the archetype with Eclipse like program and add new entry in the dropdown menu with a developer language like Java.

Yep - this will need some intense coding or some crazy workarounds with the hero damage per level stat. Easiest way would be to persuade developers to create this spec for next patch... but those are just dreams.
To my question about InterpActors - I have solved it... well gomaki and good guys from Limbic helped me I will make a new guide for cutscenes done in Matinee and Kismet.
For me the "visitable shell" is working fine. What do you need it to do? Because it is impassable by default when you drag it to the map.

While we are at it. Can you add new SM in the drop down menu of the visitable shell?

No need for this. Just use Unreal editor, open the Shell properties, open Content Browser a find any Static Mesh you would like to use and select it. Then use the small green arrow to add this SM to Shell's visual and its done
