For the time being, I will leave my hero as it is, with only 3 powers (just for now). I will go back and give him more powers later, but for now I'll leave it like that. Now I want to focus on the strings of the game and the voice, so your hero stops feeling like Boromir.

So first things first, we will create 4 new strings (the ones of the hero) and then other 3 (the ones of his/her powers). First we need to have yourhero.ini open as well as lotr.str, in the latter you'll find all the strings of the game, to create a new one you can just look at the structure of them and know how to do it (it's pretty self-explanatory). Just for the sake of the tutorial, I'll show you the new entrances I did in my lotr.str

              

Code

OBJECT:AngmarMalvack "Malvack" END CONTROLBAR:AngmarMalvackRecruit "Recruit the soldier that stays cool" ;Because it's from Angmar, you get it? eh! Eh! My God, I am lonely END CONTROLBAR:AngmarMalvackRevive "Revive the fallen Hero, Malvack" END CONTROLBAR:AngmarMalvackHotkey "Malvac&k" END

So those are the basic strings we will use. When you have a string which type is OBJECT, this means that whenever you hover your mouse over your hero, it will display some info. It also helps to let the game to know which one was your favorite unit and things like that. As for the Hotkey you won't see the "&" character ever in the game, it is just, well, an indication of which hotkey will be used to refer to your hero. The function of the other 2 are obvious.

Now you'll see that yourhero.ini file has the variables that work with the strings, just replace the variables of Boromir with the ones you just created. Like this:

              

Code

DisplayName = OBJECT:AngmarMalvack     RecruitText = CONTROLBAR:AngmarMalvackRecruit    ;;;;;;;;;;;; Anyone who gets revived should get these     ReviveText    = CONTROLBAR:AngmarMalvackRevive    ;;     Hotkey        = CONTROLBAR:AngmarMalvackHotkey    ;;            If not, it won't look too bad.

Now, for the commandbuttons is exactly the same thing, just go to the the buttons of your powers (i.e. shake foundation, cripple strike, and darkness) and change the strings of the name and the description if you want, so that it states that "Require Level 8" or something like that.

VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT

While you are figuring out which level you want your hero to unlock certain power, in order to code that, you only have to go to the power you want to restrict and change the name of the upgrade. For instance, in the shake foundation power code (you know, this one)

              

Code

;;;; SHAKE FOUNDATION SPECIAL ABILITY ;;;;--------------------------------------------------------------------     Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_ShakeFoundationEnabler         SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityDwarvenGloinShakeFoundation         TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ObjectLevel1     End

If you want your hero to learn this ability at level 4 just change the upgrade to level 4 (like you wrote it in the experiencelevel.ini. So it would look like this:

              

Code

;;;; SHAKE FOUNDATION SPECIAL ABILITY ;;;;--------------------------------------------------------------------     Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_ShakeFoundationEnabler         SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityDwarvenGloinShakeFoundation         TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ObjectLevel4 ; <--- Now is at level 4     End

Remember you can do this with all the levels from 1-10
