Copied directly from the message war-craze sent me:



NOTE: I'M USING SEE MOD FILES, SO IF YOU SEE _SEE BEHIND A LINE ITS BECAUSE I'M USING A MOD.
First if you use normal files ( original - no mods ) then you will need these files. ( I assume you use the program finalbig ) ( for SEE - Special Extended Edition files you need to go to C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earthâ„¢ II Files\SEE so you don't need finalbig to open the INI file like normally)

-commandbutton.ini ( for SEE - Special Extended Edition mod you will need commandbutton.inc which is located in the map SEE\data\ini\includes )
-commandset.ini ( for SEE - Special Extended Edition mod you will need commandset.inc which is located in the map SEE\data\ini\includes )
-playertemplate.ini

Lets start with adding the heroes to the fortress first, open up playertemplate.ini
Now look for the following line ( I'm using Mordorfortress as example ).

              

Code

[color="#00FF00"]BuildableHeroesMP[/color] = CreateAHero MordorGothmogNew MordorShagrat IsengardUgluk MordorMouthOfSauron EvilMenBlackRider1_SEE EvilMenBlackRider2_SEE EvilMenBlackRider3_SEE EvilMenBlackRider4_SEE EvilMenBlackRider5_SEE EvilMenBlackRider6_SEE EvilMenBlackRider7_SEE EvilMenBlackRider8_SEE MordorWitchKingOnFellBeast

As you can see the buildableheroes line shows us what heroes are in the fortress. You can change them to whatever you like, like if you want Gandalf in the list add GondorGandalf in that line.

Second we will use the commandset.ini lets open it up
Now look for the following lines

              

Code

CommandSet MordorFortressCommandSet InitialVisible = 6 //Main Menu 1 = Command_ConstructMordorPorter 2 = Command_SelectRevivablesMordorFortress 3 = Command_SelectUpgradesMordorFortress 4 = Command_FireWeaponMordorFortressMagmaCauldrons 5 = Command_FireWeaponMordorFortressSpireFireball 6 = Command_Sell //Upgrades Menu 7 = Command_PurchaseUpgradeMordorFortressDoomPyres 8 = Command_PurchaseUpgradeMordorFortressLavaMoat 9 = Command_PurchaseUpgradeMordorFortressFireArrows 10 = Command_PurchaseUpgradeMordorFortressMagmaCauldrons 11 = Command_PurchaseUpgradeMordorFortressMorgulSorcery 12 = Command_PurchaseUpgradeMordorFortressGorgorothSpire 13 = Command_RadialBack //Hero Menu 14 = Command_RingHeroReviveSlot 15 = Command_CreateAHeroReviveSlot // Note we also need an extra slot for the Create A Hero 16 = Command_GenericReviveSlot1 17 = Command_GenericReviveSlot2 18 = Command_GenericReviveSlot3 19 = Command_GenericReviveSlot4 20 = Command_GenericReviveSlot5 21 = Command_GenericReviveSlot6 22 = Command_GenericReviveSlot7 23 = Command_GenericReviveSlot8 24 = Command_GenericReviveSlot9 25 = Command_GenericReviveSlot10 26 = Command_GenericReviveSlot11 27 = Command_GenericReviveSlot12 28 = Command_GenericReviveSlot13 29 = Command_GenericReviveSlot14 30 = Command_GenericReviveSlot15 31 = Command_RadialBack End

As you can see these are slots so you can revive them, standard they have about 8-10 slots, you can go up till 15 slots which will make the number 31 on the far left not 31 slots. Now you can add up to 15 heroes in playertemplate.ini - BuildableHeroesMP.

Now we will make the slots commands so the command buttons will work.
Open up commandbutton.ini and look for these lines.

              

Code

CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot1 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot2 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot3 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot4 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot5 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot6 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End

You see the slots right there, add up till the amount of slots you have maximum as this ( you only have to do this once, this will be for all fortresses! )

              

Code

CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot1 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image.

ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot14 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End CommandButton Command_GenericReviveSlot15 Command = REVIVE Options = HIDE_WHILE_DISABLED CANCELABLE ;Hides button while disabled. TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:GenericReviveHero ;ButtonImage = ***Filled in automatically! No need to specify a button image. ButtonBorderType = BUILD DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGenericReviveHero InPalantir = No Radial = Yes End

Now we have 15 slots :)
To make this all work we need to change commandrange of Mordor Fortress.
Open up commandbutton.ini and look for these lines.

              

Code

CommandButton Command_SelectRevivablesMordorFortress Command = PUSH_VISIBLE_COMMAND_RANGE TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SelectRevivablesMordorFortress ButtonImage = UCCommon_EvilHeroes ButtonBorderType = SYSTEM DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipCommandSelectRevivablesMordorFortress Radial = Yes CommandRangeStart = ?? CommandRangeCount = ?? End

When we made the slots there were numbers on the far left side starting from 15 till 31 which makes 18 lines, the commandrangestart will be number 14 because you have to do -1 of the first line number.

The commandrangecount will be number 18 since there are 18 lines between 15 and 31.

Save everything and voila you now have your own custom heroes in your fortress.
