Now your hero can level up, but he is still a copy of Boromir, so we have to change that. The first thing we will change are his looks. First we will change his buttonimage (the one that appears on the bottom of the screen once he is created) and his portrait (the one that shows in the palantir when you select him).

Since we're making a CaH based hero, we should look in the CaH files to see what we can find. In the createahero folder in the object directory there's a file named "createaheromodels.inc", open it and in there are the basics of every CaH hero. In this case, since I'm doing a MotW hero I will pick the name of his buttonimage and portrait and use it to overwrite the ones in my new hero ini (which I will rename to malvack.ini).

So it goes from this:
              

Code

; SelectPortrait for Heros is portrait behind skill buttons. HP = HeroPortrait.     SelectPortrait = CPCaptainofGondor ; ButtonImage for Heros is button image on Hero Select UI to select hero. HI = HeroIcon or HeroImage.     ButtonImage = HICAHCaptainGondor

To this:
              

Code

; SelectPortrait for Heros is portrait behind skill buttons. HP = HeroPortrait.     SelectPortrait = HPBorimir ; ButtonImage for Heros is button image on Hero Select UI to select hero. HI = HeroIcon or HeroImage.     ButtonImage = HIBorimir

There's another part that I want to replace and its in the ModuleTag_RespawnUpdate module; nothing to see here (not yet at least) just I will change the buttonimage of Boromir and paste the one of CaH. Now I will add "_res" to the name of the image. This module is the one that is activated whenever your hero is summoned for the 2nd, 3rd or later time; adding "_res" will make that the icon have this blue filter of respawning. This only works for CaH buttonimages, if you want to use another buttonimage, first look up how the blue filtered image is actually named.

When all the changes are made, the module should look like this:

              

Code

Behavior = RespawnUpdate ModuleTag_RespawnUpdate ;        DeathAnim                = STUNNED                ;Model condition to play when killed-to-respawn         DeathAnim                = DYING                 ;Model condition to play when killed-to-respawn         DeathFX                = FX_BoromirDieToRespawn    ;FXList to play when killed-to-respawn         DeathAnimationTime        = 4966 ;1133            ;How long DeathAnim will take.         InitialSpawnFX            = FX_BoromirInitialSpawn         RespawnAnim                = LEVELED                ;Animation to play when respawning.         RespawnFX                = FX_BoromirRespawn        ;FXList to play when respawning.         RespawnAnimationTime        = 2000                ;Time it takes for respawn to play.         AutoRespawnAtObjectFilter    = NONE +CASTLE_KEEP        ;Respawn at this location -- and at it's exit production point if possible.         ButtonImage                = HICAHCaptainGondor_res                  ;RespawnEntries determine the ruleset for how a character can be revived. Some units may automatically respawn, others         ;may require a specific revive action performed on him. You can specify different values for each level... or use Level:Any         RespawnRules =            AutoSpawn:No    Cost:625        Time:60000        Health:100%        ;DEFAULT VALUES         End

Notice how it says "HICAHCaptainGondor_res" instead of "HIBorimir_res"
